I have seen other WW2 Wikipedia posts that looked problematic. If all the posts only quotes Liddell Hart or a single general, I am always a little skeptical. There are some real howlers on the American Civil War. So much so I never read them any more.

No disrespect to Peter, but I think that the points discussed in this video are minor details that are not at the level, breadth, and insight of your other videos. It would have been sufficient for Peter to just corrected them in the Wikipedia entry directly.

Military History Visualized

well, the general idea - if I am not mistaken - was mine. The issue is that - sadly - the "level, breadth, and insights" don't really matter for most of the audience. I am actually relying a lot on ad revenue from views nowadays, since for one year now, I was not able to increase my supporter base on Patreon anymore, it is basically stagnant. If you look at my videos from the last 3 months (Military History not Visualized), you will see there is a huge difference in the view rates and I don't think any of those high nor low views are really "justified", e.g.,, I don't think that the M3 halftrack video is so much more insightful than this video. Then again, I might be missing something would love to hear your take on it, since I sometimes get lost.
