Meet TIK a former shop worker and slightly Autistic YouTuber who up untill about a year ago made videos exclusively on Military History.
If you watch this video, and this is the first time you've watched his content, just know that he's not normally like this. The title in particular doesn't really hint at where he's goes with the video.
www.youtube.com
HIs videos have always been insanely detailed and tend to focus on battles that people were aware of but didn't have much specific knowledge of. So for example he did a 9 hour documentary on Operation Crusader a WWII battle in the western desert.
In early 2018 he did a very well received video arguing that Germany lost the War because of lack of oil

This is where things changed for him because he started to focus on NAZI economics and a key plank of this was that in understanding the failure of the Germany economy you had to realise that it was socialist. He wasn't initially trying to argue that Hitler was a socialist but that didn't stop the Che Guevara types jumping in mainly on Reddit and impenetrable YouTube response videos. r/badhistory was probably the key one. One post there with over 500 upvotes had a total of 2 sources one of which was Wikipedia. (He didn't say anything at the time but he's come back to that post, and its sources in the video)
TIK up to this point had a small following but was well known to people that liked an insane level of detail to their military History. He also had a habit of incorporating his sources, into the video in a specific way, so say he references a book, he'll put a thumbnail of the book on the screen.
Anyway so the reason this is entertaining is that while, he's gotten shit on Reddit twitter and youtube, most Marxist commentators have let him be, either because TIK is well respected or his videos are a little harder to debunk without really getting into the sources, and they're just too lazy to read all those books. So while someone like Vaush will go after barely literate German military fanboys they'll leave TIK alone.
I don't think that will be the case this time. He is going to start getting serious responses in the coming weeks to this video. He got in shit a while back because the YouTube algorithm stopped him using NAZI symbols on his maps he replaced it with the EU flag.
He's got a taste for it now, and I think he wants to start a fight.
Anyway go for the drama, and stay for the Military History.

Why they don't tell you about Hitler's "Shrinking Markets" problem
In my previous video "The REAL Reason why Hitler HAD to start WW2" (link https://youtu.be/PQGMjDQ-TJ8 ) we saw how Hitler's "Shrinking Markets" problem as a ...

The MAIN Reason Why Germany Lost WW2 - OIL
Oil was in desperately short supply for the Axis powers in WW2. One historian describes it as 'The First War for Oil' - such was the severity of the shortage...
