  John C.H. Lee: The Neglected Architect of World War II 29.07.2026 33мин

  John C.H. Lee: The Forgotten Mastermind of World War II 23 Mar 2024 --- The history of the United States Army presents no shortage of what may be called “colorful” characters adorning its ranks and accomplishments. During the American Revolutionary War there was the rambunctious Ethan Allen, loud, profane, and self-serving. The American Civil War produced George Armstrong Custer, one of the earliest examples of an Army commander retaining a press correspondent on his personal staff. World War I produced MacArthur, as well as the equally flamboyant George Patton, both of whom used lessons learned in that conflict to further their fame during World War II. These officers, and many others of a similar bent, shared a personal notoriety and military success. Another, a contemporary of MacArthur, Patton, Dwight Eisenhower, and the other military leaders of the Second World War, was John Clifford Hodges Lee, whose contribution to the Allied victory was substantial, but whose efforts are largely forgotten. Lee had the often thankless task of ensuring troops were fed, clothed, armed, and supported by medical and staff personnel, rather than leading them in battle. It was his responsibility to have trained replacements ready to step forward when needed, fuel available to support offensives, bullets for rifles, shells for tanks, and mail delivered to the men at the front. Engineers to support combat operations and build necessary roads, storage sites, fuel dumps, airfields, and other military infrastructure were also under his bailiwick. In accomplishing his task, he developed the reputation of being a self-absorbed martinet. Among the troops, including the senior officers deployed in Europe, his initials – JCH – were said to stand for “Jesus Christ Himself”. In Citizen Soldiers, the noted historian Stephen Ambrose described him as “The biggest jerk in ETO [European Theater of Operations]”, who had “…an exalted opinion of himself”. Yet without his successful execution of his duties, the Allied drive across Europe would have been immeasurably more difficult. He is an interesting, complicated, and sometimes comic figure, who alienated his superiors as well as the men under his immediate command. Yet he got the job done, according to Eisenhower, who said of him, “…I thought it was possible that his unyielding methods might be vital to success in an activity where an iron hand is always mandatory”. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

  Francis Galton: The Man Who Invented Eugenics 29.07.2026 28мин

  Francis Galton: The Man Who Invented Eugenics 14 Sep 2023 --- Great Britain in the 19th Century was a hotbed for scientific and technological innovation. Scholars, scientists, inventors, and theorists of the age laid the foundations for many of the wonders of the 20th Century and the contemporary era. Not all of these inventions and ideas were for the better, however. Even if conceived with the best intentions in mind, they would pave the way for some of the worst horrors that would darken the skies of Europe and beyond. Today's biography concerns one of the most damaging "scientific" theories ever to be considered by human minds. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

  Sergeant Stubby: WWI's Most Decorated Canine 29.07.2026 23мин

  "Sergeant Stubby: The Most Decorated Dog of WWI 28 Mar 2024 --- From 1914 to 1918, tens of millions of young men suffered the horrors of the Great War: the trenches, the maddening din of artillery, the hail of machine guns, and the deadly fog released by gas attacks. Almost 10 million of them never returned home. But even when trudging through the mud, the mist, and the misery, millions of men could count on an army of brave and loyal companions: some 16 million animals who served on both sides of the conflict. Horses, pigeons, and dogs were conscripted to transport supplies, serve as messengers, stand guard, or even provide first aid. Dogs proved rather versatile, as they hauled weapons and supplies, carried messages, killed vermin in the trenches, detected enemy scouts, and stood guard. As many as 10,000 canine friends were trained to find wounded soldiers in no man's land. They became known as “mercy dogs”; clad in a Red Cross vest, they carried a first aid kit, water, and liquor to comfort wounded troops. In today’s Biographics, we are proud to bring you the story of a small mongrel who could, and did, perform all of those duties. More astoundingly, our friend was not conscripted. In fact, one may argue that he volunteered. This is the story of “Sergeant” Stubby, the most decorated dog of World War I. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

  The Great Train Robbery: Britain's Most Infamous Heist 29.07.2026 30мин

  “You won’t believe this, but they’ve stolen a train.” That was the special announcement heard on police radios in the early hours of August 8, 1963, after a gang of criminals pulled off one of, if not the most infamous heist in British history. They robbed a Royal Mail train heading from Glasgow to London and made off with 120 mailbags containing £2.6 million (which is around £60 million in today’s money). Nobody was killed, although the train driver received a serious cosh on the noggin. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week!https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1Love content?

  Annie Taylor: First Over Niagara Falls in a Barrel 29.07.2026 16мин

  When you say the word “daredevil,” what image springs to mind? After you picture the Marvel guy in the red suit, we mean. It’s probably a man, maybe in his 30s, dressed in a dazzling, sparkly leather outfit, wearing a crash test helmet on his head and flashing a pair of gleaming, crazy eyes, howling like a madman as he charges into a death-defying stunt at a hundred miles per hour. That’s a fair assessment, we would say. After all, a daredevil is a showman looking to garner as much attention as possible, because more eyeballs on his antics means more money and fame. But what if we told you that the daredevil we have in mind for today was none of those things? In fact, she was a quiet, matronly widow in her 60s named Annie Edson Taylor. She might not have looked the part, but make no mistake about it. Taylor’s daredevil credentials are as solid as it gets, and many others have risked (and sacrificed) life and limb in order to replicate her infamous feat - going over Niagara Falls in a barrel. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week!https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1Love content?

While wisdom, good judgment, and honorable conduct were all considered important, what was considered MOST important was a king’s ability to lead his troops on the battlefield, for the honor and glory of his nation. It is no coincidence that most of the era’s greatest kings also rank among the best military commanders of the period. Of all these, there was perhaps none better than England’s King Edward III.
