Hello, I’m looking for recommendations for video series/podcasts/audiobooks about any colonial conflicts/battles of the 19th century. The more specific and obscure the better. It needs to not require reading because I want to put it on while I’m working on stuff and won’t be able to look at it frequently.

Sounds like somebody wants the revolutions podcast, especially the Haiti/Bolivar/Mexico ones.

Yeah, I've listened to Revolutions, Dan Carlin, & History on Fire. I was hoping there was some up-and-comer or lesser-known podcast/video series/or audiobook out there.

I like the T-34 v. Panther duel on the same bridge where Harry Potter defeated Voldemort.

Also I am fairly sure that hiding a tank in a pile of hay results in a tank covered in rapidly burning hay. Hay will burn if you look at it funny.

Some episodes of Behind the Bastards go into that kind of stuff, and it's generally just good. I got into it from a recommendation in the last thread and love it, so thanks to whoever did that.

If you want to you could also skip ahead to the history of the 20th century podcast which also goes into an ok level of detail into the early conflicts of the 20th century.

Yooper posted:I'm looking to read about the Soviet tank design process pre-WW2. Can anyone recommend a good book? In English? That's a pretty tough one. It's not a particularly popular topic even with Russian historians, and precious little has been translated. What era/vehicle are you looking for specifically? My book covers the T-34, following how the lessons of the Spanish Civil War led to the transformation of the BT-7 into the A-20 and later the T-34, but the story of how it got there in the first place is pretty sparse. This of course is only a small subset of tank development that was happening at the time.

How did they go from "Hey, we need a tank!" in the early 20's and end up with successful tanks like the T-34 and total weirdo stuff like the T-35. Did Stalin drive the design process? Was it design by committee? Did the factories themselves design them, or was it a design bureau?

Morozov Design Bureau designed a lot of famous Soviet tanks like the BT series, T-34 and T-54.

The first design group was set up way back in the 1920s, by the mid 1930s pretty much any factory building tanks had their own design bureau on hand. Stalin wasn't involved in anything directly except at the very highest level meetings where general requirements were set.

Tulip posted:The PRC is extremely paranoid about geographic data, to the extent that official maps of the PRC are straightforwardly wrong, and possessing maps or other geographic data without the right approvals carries hefty fines (that are actually pursued). Restricting civilian flight lanes feels like a reasonable extension/enforcement of that law (regardless of how you feel about the law itself). WTF, why? It's not like anybody who's an actual threat to the nation of China can't get that info anyway.

The 101st Airborne is a weird example of this, since their screaming eagle symbol dates back to units in the civil war, but the rest of the unit does not: quote:The 101st Division headquarters was organized 2 November 1918 at Camp Shelby, Mississippi, having been constituted on 23 July in the National Army. World War I ended 9 days later, and was demobilized on 11 December 1918.[6] It was reconstituted as an airborne division the next day.

Even how the factories functioned would be really interesting.

There are some articles on the MS-1 that I haven't gotten around to translating yet that go over the work of the early design bureaus. I have a few articles that shed some light on the design process already up. These are both failed designs but they had a lot of promise and some big names were involved with them. https://tankarchives.blogspot.com/2019/09/the-golden-standard.html https://www.tankarchives.ca/2020/07/dead-end-on-wheels.html

Some of it is for military stuff, and some of it is to make life hard for journalists, and some of it is hide things they'd rather not have people discussing internally. For instance, internment camps for Uighurs and other Muslims are all covered under this policy. If you try to pull up their locations in Baidu, you get blank tile squares. The value of this is if the PRC is saying that these camps are vocational training centers, and the tile square doesn't conflict with that. Where as if you can see the overhead satellite view, you see things like a concrete wall enclosing the facility. Along with guard towers, and a heavily fortified gate. But by making access to that info harder, it makes it easier to sell the lie internally.
