    Canadians were helping fight a bunch of forest fires and they requested some "power bars" (a brand of energy bar). Supplies came in with boxes full of multi plug electrical extension cords, often referred to as "power bars". A secondary use was not found.

    3:30 this is a somewhat important nit-pick. There were three U.S. carriers plus the planes on Midway itself. One of the things about the battle of Midway is portrayed is that the USN won "against all odds." I mention it because one of the things the U.S. Navy had going against it was that the IJN had more carriers.

    • @CYMotorsport
      @CYMotorsport 25 дней назад +3

      And the idea has been overturned and accepted as the odds being even or maybe more for the USN. Shattered sword certainly changed my thinking and how we for years underplayed the advantages the Americans had the deficiencies of the Japanese navy and the flaws in Japanese carrier doctrine in 1944. Go read shattered sword.
      But yes you’re right it was 3 to 4 carriers

  • @jerrydickerson1111

    I think its important to note that in the US Navy every sailor is a member of the damage control party this was not true for the Imperial Japanese Navy they had dedicated damage control teams this why often times you read about Japanese ships taking 1 to 2 hits to sink it was very lucky that the planes where rearming but it was also lucky that the first strike took out most of the damage control party.

    13:21 it’s highly likely he really was exposing himself. We have modern toxicology reports and vast scientific studies examining the styrian arsenic eaters proving low level habitual exposure can indeed build up an effective tolerance . His obsession actually wad a useful one
    17:17 Peter III never stood a chance. While I think this twist belongs and don’t disagree at all as the focus is on the TIMING, I will say his overall pro Russian nature made this less about Frederick and more about his disdain for his own people according to a majority of scholars. He was already named presumptive heir and was reigning 5 months. Usually garbled to history is the nature of Peter. At best, he’d have some sort of spectrum disorder along with other violent tendencies. The latter being universally agreed upon. But the surviving accounts come from a less flattering Catherine of his “feeble-mindedness”. But I tend to think it’s between closer to Catherine’s side. Frederick after all spoke harshly of Peter even after the treaty and his subsequent “death” (likely murder) saying he was overthrow like “a child being put to bed”.
