One man and a team of mathematicians, broke the enigma code. The story re writes most of the history. ENGLAND KNEW ALMOST EVERY GERMAN ATTACK before it happened during WWII after the code was broken but couldn't stop it otherwise the germans would know and could change the code.

Any history book that says otherwise is infact a lie. They were not surprised many times during the war, only command did not tell the army or allies. WOW. Crazy stuff.

The book goes into a lot more detail, from memory it was well into the war, maybe late 43 when they were setup well enough and staffed to decrypt messages quickly, and it was mostly just the Naval enigma messages that they had cracked.

By late 43 the tide had well and truly turned, the Russians took Stalingrad in January.

How do animals create/recreate their environment ?
It's not hard to recognises how introducing pest like rabbits to farmlands can decimate alomost everything else. But how would the reintroduction of 14 wolves into Yellowstone National park in the 1990's affect the environment.Just fascinating.

Yikes ! XXXX Me Dead!!!

That has to be the most criminal abuse of the legal system I have ever heard of.
DB you deserve 50 likes for finding and showing this story. For the life of me I cannot comprehend how the legal system can allow such insane, criminal abuse to be legal.

Truly it makes Saul Goodman look like a pillar of righteousness.
(Have I convinced you this has to be seen to be believed...!!)

I could have sworn I saw a thread a while back talking about good YouTube videos/channels that people watch casually, anyway...

One of my favorite at the moment is Ben Mallah, especially if you are into real estate and you can learn a lot I think. He is also funny and rich as hell but seems like a genuine guy. Some of the old original 'life for sale' videos are the best

A bit of magic. Watch a 16 year old Chinese boy fool Penn and teller.

Then think about HTF he did it.

Great story, I've followed and researched since a 14-year-old red blooded holden obsessed and collected every book and magazine on the subject. So, I know that this video is good but has some flaws.
