Is it weird that one of the things that has come as a result of Simon breaking his collarbone, that catches my interest, is that we now have a glimpse into the production cycle/timeline of Simon's videos; with us now being able to gauge when he filmed a video and when it is released based on the stage of his recovery? That being said, the _FACT_ that he still continued to make videos despite breaking his collarbone, spending time in the hospital, having surgery, and more-or-less RECOVER from the surgery..... and the whole thing not even having a noticeable blip in his release schedule is nothing short of amazing to me!
It was kinda noticeable that he went from a burgeoning regular gaming livestream to dead silence in the first couple weeks of July. Now he's a cyborg with his titanium clavicle.
Just thank you for telling the story of Ouradour sur Glane ! Mostly every teens visited this town to explain to us what was the horror of WW2 and still it's such a powerful place, it's our heritage and thanks for showing to the viewers this town. I've been to some commemorations with veterans and Résistants, I just can't describe the power, the sadness and the grief that was present. Yet hope, forgiveness is even more powerful, many Germans attended those commemorations, alongside veterans paying respect to the victims and simply say "Plus jamais ça" (never again) !
@Oke Ihenacho I keep hoping the religions who believe in Eternal Punishment in Hell are right and those responsible for mass murders---and even lesser numbers---will enjoy their reward for doing Satan's bidding on Earth. (He does have a strange idea about _how_ he rewards them, of which they seem to be ignorant.)
@Oke Ihenacho Exactly, those atrocities are a common reminder of the brutality of Nazi's ideas. We must fight to keep our land, our Europe, built in response to WW2, free of neo Nazi parties. We must never forget, and always fight for liberal democracy
@@jeffccan4464 Indeed, the whole history of the village is just tragic. Many towns were sacked just as the SS and Whermacht fled France. I remember the visit like it was yesterday (It was in 2013, I'm 25 now) and my teacher was just deeply move to tell us what happened. The inhabitants were locked inside the church, women, men, children and the SS started the fire. The village survived 4 years of war, the end was near, the Résistance won, De Gaulle was a liberator, British and American were rushing to our freedom, to finally lift the shame of defeat ... yet they died in agony. I think that the tell, the story is so terrible, it allows the hard task of memory, collective History written in books but also kept in stones and blood. Just to keep it intact, to rebuild elsewhere is a powerful message.
I've wrecked mountain bike to 4 wheelers and that all suck lmao. Anytime you wreck in the woods you have to pick yourself up and make it home or at least back to car then either call paramedics or drive yourself to the hospital. Either way it blows. I cut tie of when brake hit a block and shoved brake through my shoe and amputated my second toe. Now I can only count to 19 and and a half lmao.
10:00 I believe that one of the factors for such a brutal massacre was that the German unit that did it had recently been transferred over from the eastern front. Wiping out entire villages was standard practice there, so when a couple of members of the French Resistance fired on them they barely would have batted an eye before committing the crime. It's a somewhat rare glimpse for a lot of us westerners into the horror of the war in the east and shows how the Soviet Union lost more people than *every* other country combined in WW2, including the Jews.
Late, but I wanted to point out Russia did not lose more than everyone else combined. You'd have to not count China, who by many estimates lost even more, but is complicated by the chinese civil war.
@@KarinaMilne I wish i could remember which one but Business Blaze is so random it probably had nothing to do with the title. Idk most likely its was during his 6 minute addverts and you mere mortals only get 60 seconds!!!!! Danny i need listen to more 15 minute intros!!!!!

OUCH!!! Get well soon Simon. You are one of my daily companions as I drive a semi truck in California..always interesting to listen to your channels. Thanks 😊
Simon, I love your videos; however, as a former RN I have to point out that your sling is backwards. what’s on your right shoulder should be in your left shoulder, it will be a bit more supportive and not pull your arm to your left. Initially present it as a “sideways triangle, the apex of the triangle should point to your “injured arms elbow” with the high end over your “uninjured arms shoulder. Shoulder injuries suck and hope you feel better soon!
Hahahaha, okay! I was wondering about why it was kinda feeling weird ;). I didn't it myself trying to follow a RUclips tutorial... Which I guess I screwed up ;). I'm out of the sling now, but noted for next time. Thank you!
@@ChampaBayBeast mountain biking life. My bf does it at has sustained a number of similar injuries. Getting airborne on a bike comes with a price sometimes!
I can't be the only one who really wants to live in that Paris replica. Just blocks and blocks of pristine streets, parks and brand new buildings, all to yourself.
I first learned about the French.city from The World at War from the BBC. It was so horrific what happened there. It wasn't until the 2000s I learned what us, good guys, did too. War is hell.
ruclips.net/video/0b4g4ZZNC1E/видео.html I'm sure some information in it has become outdated since, but for me it is still the greatest documentary on WW2.
Me too...and that series, by now, is very old itself (from 1973). When it was made, there were still quantities of WWII survivors around who could be interviewed about their personal experiences.
In the 70's U.S. Intelligence analysts actually believe that Chernobyl was the 2nd major Nuclear Accident in Russia as newer maps didn't list a town where they believed a nuclear reactor existed.
Oradour was rebuilt next door. It's a very sobering place to visit. Especially the church right at the bottom of the village where the women and children were killed.
The rails and overhead line along the main street in Oradur sur Glane were for a tram line to Limoges. The ruins are saved as a memorial, no rebuild attempted, but a new village built next to it after the war.
I too visited the Chernobyl exclusion zone. My 59th birthday present to myself. The entire experience was haunting. The pictured amusement park extra so when we found out it was never enjoyed. It was scheduled to open on May Day 1986. The accident occured just 4 days before
Not my experience at all, when Covid hit New Yorkers and New Jersey people flocked to their summer homes in New England. They bought them, lived in them during lock down and raided local stores and gas stations making supplies scarce for the first few months. Real estate in upstate New York, Vermont and New Hampshire has gone through the roof. Building materials have tripled in cost..and don't believe what economists are saying, if you want to work, you damn sure can find jobs in the places I just mentioned.
A similar thing happened in Sun Valley, Idaho. All the rich people went to their vacation homes, overran the grocery store and subsequently brought the virus to town and flooded the local hospital
An acquaintance of mine was serving with the UN peacekeepers and was assigned to duty to patrol Varosha. In his travels around on foot he would window shop to break the monotony. There was a BMW Motorcycle dealership that he was particularly attracted to as he is a bike enthusiast. He was tempted more than once to enter the premises to get a better look at the brand new bikes that were left on display until one day he noticed something he had not seen before. The owner had wired the building to trigger explosives that would have probably leveled the building. After that he noted more buildings that were rigged much the same way. Let's hope the Turks take note and disarm these deadly places before letting the tourists in.............
We are getting, if not town, so at least villages in Sweden. Some were built around major industrial or infrastructure projects and when these shut down, people moved out and the villages were left empty.
I kept expecting Simon to de-rail and go down that dirt path to tell us about why he went there and what happened . . . then I remembered this isn't Brain Blaze. "Am I right, Peter?"

Isn't Plymouth, Montserrat still abandoned? I thought I remembered reading that it's still the official capital although all government functions have moved to the other side of the island. Meaning of that it is the only official capital of something that is 100% uninhabited.
Even if / when the danger from the volcano ends, a good deal of Plymouth is now semi-entombed like Pompeii under solidified volcanic ash. So it couldn't just be re-inhabited in its present condition.
Hello Simon, There are some important details you forgot to tell in this video. In the case of Pripyat in Ukraine, you're telling that the radiation fall-out "came all the way to Sweden". That's not correct. Yes, Sweden was the FIRST country wich noticed higher radiation levels than normal. That is true. But, finally, the fall-out reached all the way to the southern part of Germany, Bavaria, but also to the far North of Finland, Lapland. And besides Great Britain, also the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Austria, and many more country;s were hid by the radiation of Chernobyl. And about Oradour-Sur-Glane: Not far away from this destroyed city, they build a new Oradour!
"Down this road on a summer day in 1944, the soldiers came. Nobody lives here now. They stayed only a few hours. When they had gone, a community, which had lived for a thousand years, was dead. This is Oradour-sur-Glane, in France. The day the soldiers came, the people were gathered together. The men were taken to garages and barns, the women and children were led down this road, and they were driven into this church. Here, they heard the firing as their men were shot. Then they were killed too. A few weeks later, many of those who had done the killing were themselves dead, in battle. They never rebuilt Oradour. Its ruins are a memorial. Its martyrdom stands for thousands upon thousands of other martyrdoms in Poland, in Russia, in Burma, China... In a world at war." Every single human being should watch that documentary.
Going to see now where one of my great uncles was buried en France and I knew a physicist who had to go out to Pripyat at short notice after Chernobyl happened and he said it was busy work. I don’t acclaim to anything I’ve just met only a few people. I wish I got to know more of my dads mum side. They won’t talk to us.
Do the Vessel staircase in New York it's awesome plus Simon will get to talk about death because all the suicides. We all know how much he likes talking about death in videos.

Hello Simon, There are some important details you forgot to tell in this video.
In the case of Pripyat in Ukraine, you're telling that the radiation fall-out "came all the way to Sweden". That's not correct. Yes, Sweden was the FIRST country wich noticed higher radiation levels than normal. That is true.
But, finally, the fall-out reached all the way to the southern part of Germany, Bavaria, but also to the far North of Finland, Lapland.
And besides Great Britain, also the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Austria, and many more country;s were hid by the radiation of Chernobyl.
And about Oradour-Sur-Glane: Not far away from this destroyed city, they build a new Oradour!

"Down this road on a summer day in 1944, the soldiers came.
Nobody lives here now.
They stayed only a few hours. When they had gone, a community, which had lived for a thousand years, was dead. This is Oradour-sur-Glane, in France.
