On the dark battlefields of World War II, German soldiers feared an enemy they could barely see and rarely heard... until it was too late. Out of the blackness came a faint whooshing sound. Seconds later, bombs rained from the sky, buildings crumbled, and chaos erupted across the Eastern Front. On this episode of Weird History we take a look at the mysterious Night Witches: an elite squadron of all-female Soviet pilots who became one of the most feared forces of World War II. Flying outdated wooden biplanes on daring nighttime bombing missions, they terrorized German troops, earned countless military honors, and cemented their place among history's most legendary warriors. Have you ever heard of the Night Witches? Let us know in the comments.

(Much like real history, this video was produced entirely by human beings.)

The Fall of Tenochtitlan

found it funny

I made this documentary after coming across the story of a football game played by US Marines on Guadalcanal on Christmas Eve 1944.

But the more I researched it, the more I realized the real story wasn't the game. It was the men themselves.

Some had been college football stars before the war. They left their families and careers behind, became Marines, and eventually found themselves fighting on Okinawa. Not all of them came home.

I wanted to tell their stories using original WWII footage, photographs and historical records, rather than just focus on the football game.

It's taken quite a bit of work to put together, and I'm really proud of the result. Hope some of you find their stories as fascinating as I did.

Someone stole Docilianus’s hooded cloak. He asked the goddess Sulis to destroy whoever had taken it. He also wanted the cloak returned. The priorities are quite clear.

I made a Roman Records short about his curse tablet, found at Bath. The inscription survives; the thief’s identity and the fate of the cloak do not. The video reads the curse, leaving an uncertain passage open.

I’m the creator. The visuals and narration are AI-generated, with animation designed to resemble stop-motion puppets.

What other surviving ancient complaints would make a good short? I’m interested in cases where we can still read the complainant’s own words.

Who killed Pharaoh Ramesses III — and what does modern forensic science reveal about his mysterious death?
Over 3,000 years ago, a royal conspiracy threatened the Egyptian throne. Ancient judicial papyri recorded the trials, while modern CT scans revealed evidence of a devastating throat wound.
In this investigation, Royal Police Case examines the Harem Conspiracy, Prince Pentaweret, Unknown Man E, and the forensic evidence behind one of Ancient Egypt's most fascinating royal murder cases.
🔎 The ancient records tell one story. The evidence reveals another.

In the spirit of the World Series, I thought to make a short American labor history video using MLB integration for the analysis. Hope someone enjoys and appreciate anyone who watches!

I made a documentary about the CIA’s secret spy tunnel under Berlin. I’d welcome feedback from people interested in Cold War history, especially on historical accuracy and anything that deserves more context.

One of my classmates since middle school (now highschool) has always been super passionate about Youtube and history. He has been making videos since he was 10 and just recently passed 1000 subscibers after 6 years.

He posts multiple times a week and gets sub hundred views on average. Despite this, it's clear that his passion for history and Youtube are clearly more important than views and fame.

My high school is full of fake gangsters and has a pretty bad reputation for bullying, so it’s amazing and super wholesome to see someone who doesn’t care what others think and is willing to put himself out there!

I hope you guys can see the effort and passion he puts into his videos. I am posting this out of a place of support and hope you all can make his day! His channel is Dzod500 (:

He is a super cool guy and would be thrilled with any support! (he does not know i'm posting this)😅
