I've been sitting on some extra footage from a Stalingrad reenactment I attended back in March. I didn't know how I wanted to release it, because the footage is very dark and overall not the kind of thing I wanted to release without context, lest people think it represented some weird political play or 'power fantasy.'

So, in this video, I talk a little about morality and how it is applied to history. It's a fairly straightforward one, but still, I think that it will be helpful to many of us in identifying and countering dishonest arguments regarding some of history's most controversial and tragic events. -
