Development of the British Tank Arm, 1918-1939
The_Chieftain
Published on 5 Jan 2019Supporting the World War Two channel, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP1A…
The second in the series of videos discussing how various nations spent the time in between the two wars analyzing what did or did not work for their tank doctrines, how they were developed, and what they came up with. This video (obviously) looks at the British, where budgets and votes were far more important than tank capability.

Here’s the Thing… we all worked with Sun Yat Sen!

Published on 19 Feb 2019Mao Zedong, Wang Jingwei, and Chiang Kai-shek – the Snap, Crackle, and Pop of 1920’s China.
Indy decided to write some lyrics about them, God alone knows why … but it’s a concise analysis of those three comrades and comrades in arms of Sun Yat Sen.

For context, I’ve posted a series of videos from Extra History on Dr. Sun Yat Sen, and TimeGhost is currently covering the history of China’s post-monarchy period (see the next video for more of that). I also have tags for Mao Zedong (aka Mao Tse-tung in my youth) and Chiang Kai-Shek, should you want to dig a bit deeper. I also denounce myself for laughing-out-loud at the Rice Krispies joke in the description.

LOONEY TUNES (Looney Toons): Rookie Revue (1941)
8thManDVD.com™ Cartoon Channel
Published on 8 Dec 2013Random gags around military life, set on an army base. A bugler uses a jukebox to play reveille. In formation, one private has a great deal of trouble remembering what comes after “3”; after he gets it, he decides not to go for the $32 question. In the mess hall, the machine gunners machine gun their food while the bombers catch falling biscuits. The infantry marches for miles – past a “next time, take the train” billboard. The camouflage troops march by, invisibly. We see training substitutes: wooden guns, cars marked “tank” and, alas, a banner marked “parachute” deployed in mid-jump. More training: aerial games (of tic-tac-toe). The anti-aircraft division has target practice, on an aerial shooting gallery. Finally, in an elaborate process, a general provides firing instructions to a big gun; when it hits his own building, he says, “I’m a baaad general.”

The MG 08/15 Updated Between the Wars
Forgotten Weapons
Published on 25 Oct 2018https://www.forgottenweapons.com/the-…
http://www.patreon.com/ForgottenWeapons
In the aftermath of World War One, the Treaty of Versailles strictly limited the number of machine guns that the German military could keep in inventory. The main type that the Germans chose to keep was the MG08/15 (although a substantial number of MG08 guns were kept as well). Through the 1920s and 1930s, these Maxim guns were improved and updated in a variety of ways until finally replaced by the MG34 starting in 1936. Many of these updated 08/15s would be deployed in reserve areas during World War Two, but relatively few survive today. Today we are looking at one such gun, and noting the changes made to it compared to the 08/15 of World War One. Specifically:
* Anti-aircraft sights and mounting brackets
* Oiler bottle in the stock
* Bipod attachment at the muzzle
* New water drain and fill plugs
* Modified drum hanger bracket
* Feed block for both cloth Maxim belts and metal MG34 belts
* Leather pistol grip cover
* Top cover locking latchContact:
