  1. Winners write the history? Haupt would disagree! Survivors write the history. As Churchill said "I know history shall remember me kindly as I intend to write it myself." Similarly the likes of Mannstein wrote histories to cover their crimes.

  2. Another problem is archiving. For your work to be cited by others they need an archive to point to and a name for your video. Given that YouTube can delete videos, they can't be a reliable archive.
