Comments by "😊 Erin Thor" (@Erin-Thor) on "The History Guy: History Deserves to Be Remembered" channel.

I can remember my Irish mother referring to her Ireland based family as “Milk-toast,” saying with disdain things like “standing for nothing makes you nothing,” and quoting “All it takes for evil to exist, is for good men to do nothing.” And I can remember my Grandmother on our fathers side showing fiery anger, getting spitting mad at a neighbor buying a VW car. Almost 30 years after Germany occupied Norway she would occasionally launch into angry references about Germans. Once she shared a few stories that I remember as a young kid scaring the crap out of me. Her brief simple plain description of relatives actions and other events in Norway were horrific. To her, Germany, Germans, anything German was hated with a loathing like I have never seen since. As a kid these snippets of WW2 stories were chilling, seeing grandparents go from sweet and wonderful to livid and spitting mad at the mere mention of German anything made me realize that it must have been worse than anything I could imagine.

This is one hail of a video! ❤

My parents took me to a Lipizzaner horse show as a kid in California, we were just told to watch the famous horses. Now I know why. Thank you!

"This was NOT GOOD..." Understatement of the millennium.

"Phycologists that have examined Norton’s case since the time of his death believe he may have been suffering from a delusional disorder of the grandiose type, a relatively rare disorder where someone has an overinflated sense of worth or identity..." Why does that sound so dang familiar? 🤪

My dad had a Vega as a company car. Great mileage but I remember him remarking about his losing a few sales as clients got in it and remarked that the company must be having financial troubles. LOL! He shared that with his boss and they sold them all and went back to Chrysler New Yorkers.

The History Guy: History Deserves to Be Remembered — Mistakes happen, what matters is how you deal with them. You didn’t deny, play it down, you just said "I misspoke" and correct the error. You sir, your beautiful wife, and even your cats are a class act.

Not trying to be an ass, but I firmly believe that YouTube is so very, very wrong in this instance. History CANNOT be varnished or made Politically Correct. Any attempt to edit the facts, is editing history, those eliminated historical facts that you have edited out are most likely to be that points that we will forget and be deemed to repeat. So... WHAT CAN WE DO? Given that the squeaky wheel gets the grease, who do we contact, write to, call, etc. because in some instances, like yours, YouTube demonetization cannot be tolerated. Why not simply insert a warning at the start saying something like "WARNING, SOME JAPANESE PEOPLE MAY BE OFFENDED BY THE REPRESENTATION OF THESE EVENTS, HOWEVER IT IS HISTORY THAT DESERVES TO BE REMEMBERED." This video was NOT hateful, inaccurate or derogatory to anyone, it does not instigate violence, it’s just facts. Perhaps a few thousand letters and emails might get YT to modify what they consider inappropriate. Please tell us how we can support you!

I did not enjoy this edition of History Deserves to be Remembered... I LOVED IT! A special shout out to your tie, well played Sir!

Del Lawrence — Hmmmmm-mmm... You do realize that had America had nothing more than a .45, you would be speaking and working to service Germany or Japan... Right? The simple fact that you typed your message in English renders your logic moot.

Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill every time.

Thank you for this, as a person of Norwegian heritage i found this most interesting! I can still remember snippets of conversations from grandparents of WW2 stories relayed from relatives in Norway during the German occupation. (They were of hellish resistance.) Appreciate your work Sir!

Didn’t Rosevelt get shot, and refused treatment as he had a speech. He gave the speech and then went to the hospital.

Billy Sargent — Now 10, those dogs! Wait... I have some Hamilton blood in me... how dare you!

S K — We, those who have never experienced war on the ground... have no clue the actual horrors and memories that remain afterwards. It’s seriously scary.

Dale Pinheiro — If you will allow input from an American, that is a shame. Canada has a fascinating history, and there is good reason to study it! 😎

Linda Ciccoli — Muslim’s.

Desperado5501 — Seriously? The Democrats? I’m a Democrat and love this channel! You might want to rethink your statement considering your President neither watches the news, or let’s others influence his decisions, and calls everything that he doesn’t like fake news. LOL!
12
CALL TO ARMS! If you think history not only deserves to be remembered, and DESERVES TO NOT BE EDITED EITHER... CONTACT YOUTUBE! There are some things that should NEVER be edited to make them politically correct. This video does not incite violence, prejudice or hate, it has no agenda, it is factual, and it may deserve a warning ⚠️ that "SOME JAPANESE VIEWERS MAY FIND THESE FACTS OFFENSIVE," but it DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE FORCIBLY EDITED FOR CONTENT OR DEMONETIZED! Please, if you like this channel, get off your bum and TAKE ACTION to get YouTube to edit their process, not the videos. What is next? Because if this continues every subject that you deem important is at risk of being deemed hate speech.

The History Guy: History Deserves to Be Remembered — Like we would have known, SMH... We trust you absolutely, completely and without question! Great episode!

As a kid I had to write a paper on the civil wars Andersonville prison, that report marked the end of my naive childhood. Please don’t do a report on it, what we did to our fellow Americans will give you nightmares, it is a story with no redeeming qualities.

Billy Sargent — Shall we duel? 🤪

@briangarrow448 — I heard stories of women being lined up to cook and clean for them, their children too, they stood in family groups. They explained their duties, and failure would have severe consequences. The children were being taken away and a woman objected, her child was shot, then her as an example to all. And that was just the beginning. You don’t want to know how they fought back.

We ALL know how to talk. The trouble is we don’t THINK before speaking.

When I was a kid, my Boy Scout troop discovered that farts were flammable. I did not win a Nobel Prize. Side note, the ‘test kid’ will regret his role in the experiment for the rest of his natural life. 🤣

Boringo PR — So, you would hold a greatx4 grandson whose Great Aunt was Mabel Hamilton (painter, I have a few of her paintings) accountable for his greatx4 grandfathers sins? [Takes off my right white glove, and slaps you across the face]. This cannot stand! 🙃

I’ve always been amazed at our hypocrisy, we are a nation founded on the beliefs of equality and freedom, yet we seem to be unwilling to grant EVERY citizen this very right.

YES! I would so pay to watch a duel between Trump and Hillary! Oh please please please make it happen! Color me ecstatic! 😁😎🤪

Guy Incognito -- I know. My relatives whom I love have been forever changed. I have realized that they will lie, cheat, steal, do ANYTHING in the name of faith and their Republican Parties success. My view of them has been forever changed thanks to Trump. Still love them, but holy hell, I will never trust what they say ever again.

mogaman28 — Yes, commenters here have been triggered, both you and Despiser Despised are perfect examples of snowflakes with sensitive ideals who try and squash free speech of all types.

xxOmponxx — Drinking age varies by state. I still remember living in California when it was changed from 18 to 21. A month later I remember the news saying that accidents and traffic deaths involving people aged 18-20 had immediately dropped. This was pre computers and I remember thinking why when it took weeks to count anything.. votes, whatever, but 30 days afterwards they already had the entire states accidents and traffic stats sorted by age of the driver ready for release immediately. LOL!
6
Awesome! Leave it to you THG & Girl to share more about a subject than I have ever heard before! Y’all ROCK!
6
arachnonixon — Good point, but I was just starting high school in those days LOL! I knew little of those things. I just remember dad not being happy that the new car was costing him clients and business. It wasn’t just him, there were several people in sales that felt the same. Normally if I remember correctly they kept cars for 2-4 years, I’m thinking the Vega’s lasted about 6-9 months. They also had some Plymouth Satelites, which were kinda sporty for the day. Edit — And the ride, fit and finish... I can remember thinking as a kid that it was cheap. But what did I know. My allowance was $2/week back then.

Peter Stoddard — All I know is every bit of history I’ve heard from my family and other sources, makes me feel pretty damn boring. Say what you will, but they LIVED life a bit more fully than we do.

Marty Moose — Your "bandage carried a gun?" And it drove a car? Thanks for making my day!

I believe he said he released the patent after it was in use. While still admirable it was released after years of sales to the military. I am just pointing out he was paid, he still deserves our respect.
6
@darrellsmith4204 -- Absolutely, but to say that level of anger, of hatred, after a war can be just reasoned away -- That shows a complete lack of understanding of the events they endured. We are all products of our environments, we learn by what happens in our lives. And frankly, what my grandparents described was inexcusable. I do not blame them at all for feeling that way. I get what you mean, I see the danger, but I have to give that generation a pass for what they lived through.
5
Jay Bee -- Your comment is offensive. My grandparents were not prone to making snap decisions, were painfully direct and honest. And their opinions were based on their and their relatives stories who lived through those times. This was not anti-German propaganda, this was their first and second hand experiences. My mother's opinions were related to Ireland's trying to remain neutral in a situation that she felt demanded a position. For my quiet, well spoken and reserved mother to call Ireland's position, and their people, her family, Milquetoast... that was the equivalent for her of screaming at the top your lungs at someone inches from their faces. And seriously Jay, you need to research more and speak less. WW2 has some horrific acts on all sides, to dismiss what happened as propaganda is a disservice to everyone who lived through those times.
5
Guy Incognito -- "My hatred?" I have no hatred towards Germany, Russia or Japan, or its descendants. My late wife was Japanese, her maiden name was Ishimara. I drive a Japanese vehicle, and yes, have laughed off some cold comments from my elderly relatives from that era. Remembering our history is critical to not repeating it. Understanding it, hence this channel, is part of that and it is important. Where do you get that I harbor hatred, when I was speaking of what I learned from my relatives first and second had accounts?

I saw him in concert about 8-or so years ago, remarkable showman, I was floored at his voice and energy!

I thank you for including my family history in this episode, made it oddly more interesting! 🤣
5
Ribbitgoesthedog Lastnamehereyeah — Maybe, maybe not, we may never know. Japan and Germany were both amazing power houses bent on world domination at any costs. Japan being non Aryan would eventually been targeted by Germany whose strategy of enveloping the armies and resources into their own feeding their growth would have given Germany the military advantage. Personally I’m happy with the current status quo, German is a hard language for me to speak.

Sorry, THG is immortal. He and his work will be history class mandatory watching for eternity.

dhession64 — LOL! We used matches and it was a... fart of considerable volume. The plume of flame 🔥 was most remarkable. The poor ‘test kid’s’ bum was singed. I remember dozens of faces being illuminated by the flash, then a pause as my jaw dropped, as I assume everyones did, then a scream and he cried for quite a while. It was quite the OMG moment.

At a restaurant near me called the Magic Time Machine they specialize in well over 100 brands of beer and food that goes with beer. I’ve had more than a few “Beer Samplers” of different themes. I can absolutely positively certify that all Peach Beer tastes horrible, no matter the country of origin! 🤣 🤢

Yes, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a few years back and have had to change what I drink. I’ve sampled pretty much every diet or sugar free beverage out there, and found my favorite! Water! 😂

Y’all are just MEAN! LOL! Here I am, banana challenged at the moment and YOU GUYS are cruelty telling me about the most delicious, yummy ones. So cold! LMAO!

Aside from asking who else came here expecting this to be a pastry fight (Sir, how did the fight start? He threw a donut at me so I hit him with an eclair!), can we talk about endorsing Nord for internet security when they have had several SERIOUS security breaches on their UNSECURED SERVERS? That is security gaffes that deserve to be remembered! 🤪

Who knew that the history of road lines and signs could actually be interesting! Kudos Sir! Your sharing of history makes us all the better for it!

Susan Cook — Absolutely! But you need to share them! 😎

William R Warren Jr — Well, he could have been hung as well. (Ducking)

Tayhlor Pogacsas — Yes, I’m glad they took the time to dig up all the details on this event! Had they not, it could have remained buried forever!

Callie Masters — Smart! Silver is anti-bacterial, and could be safely reused.

So… you like THG’s content.
2
@briangarrow448 -- Agree completely. The hatred left over from WW2 was palpable 30-40 years later in the people who either lived through it, or knew people who had. Chilling stories that IMHO would make excellent movie material. The occupations of Norway and Finland by Germany and Russia were horrific, and I got the feeling when other relatives hushed them, shaking their heads and hands to discourage them from telling stories that were too much for us kids to hear... that there were horrors they had experienced or knew of that will never ever be known. Glad your family was lucky, and 6 boys survived.

Jon Popelka — I meant my comment to be humorous. Sadly this is not about politics anymore, it’s a faith based issue and all common sense, logic, and civility have left us. My own brother becomes more like a rabid dog than a human being whenever I poke fun at Trump and his antics. I voted for him, yet I also love to watch the late night talk shows which take such joy at portraying trump as an ass, because in all honesty he is. I find it humorous, because any way you wish to view the situation, Trump is talk show gold. He is our president, he deserves our respect, yet constantly opens his mouth. The mere fact that no one has taken Trump aside and just schooled him as a friend to STFU and all this circus will stop, cracks me up to no end. And frankly, almost every comment here save yours makes me ill. Politics is manipulation, everyone knows this. The presidents antics, every word on both sides, is all a form or ‘positioning’ and the candidates are the products. When did we become so stupid as no not recognize that we are being manipulated, and used like pawns in a chess game?
2
Odd point... I had an argument recently about washing your hands vs. using an alcohol based hand sanitizer. I believe that washing your hands under a sink is superior to using hand sanitizer, they disagreed. Who is right?
2
Murhaain — No clue... they might have. I’m not a customer and I am only familiar with the company name because of the security breaches on a companies equipment in the security business. I’m sure I should be more forgiving, I’m working on being a better person, I’m just not there yet.
2
Little Dikkins — And it was truly an AMAZING show!
2
Just think what he would have accomplished if he had met Trump! (Ducking 🤣)

I vote the channel name should be changed to "The History Couple, History that Deserves to be Remembered." Like other channels they (as in both of them) could produce more videos and therefore increase their earnings. 😁

Who is John Gault?

Yes

avn rulz — Rumor has it that’s a bunch of hot air.

This is a whale of a story. 😊

The History Guy: History Deserves to Be Remembered — My apologies, I didn’t mean to imply that it was. I assume that someone took offense at the wording, clicked "Report" or multiple reports were received generating an automated demonetization, and on your appeal a YouTube representative took about six seconds to decide that the report was valid.
2
@TheDarthSoldier I agree! I’ve had a few micro-brewery beers and some are exceptional! One here locally… Riffle something beer co. has a beer called blood and honey, which has a distinct slightly salty sweet taste that has a maple flavor that is delicious! ❤

THE perfect Halloween Tale!

Stupid Question... when I was young I was told that back when the hamburger was invented, it either contained ham in it or was served with a slice of ham, hence the name HAM Burger. Were my grandparents pulling a horrible joke on a gullible young kid... or what. There’s a restaurant near me that serves a hamburger w a slice of ham on it, and I think that is delicious.

My grandparents we anything but horrible, LOL! You probably would have liked them. I would guess it was either ignorance (color me guilty) or a slightly wicked sense of humor. Thanks for the education guys! 🤓

Guy Incognito — You are seriously clueless. I was not inspired by hate by Trump. Your generalization that all WW2 people, the entire generation were inspired to hate by the Germans is insanity. They experienced things first hand that we can only imagine. Neither my parents or I hate Germans or any nationality. My grandparents who lived through it, who kept I touch with family in Ireland, Germany and Finland, they had a hatred that ran so intensely it was scary as hell sometimes, but I assure you, it was for cause. That you would dismiss it as a response to or because of propaganda is sad, rude even. And seriously, I don’t hate Trump, I voted for him in 2016, but didn’t this year. Not because I hate him, because I see him as a salesman, a spin master, a slick smart salesman who lies and manipulates everyone his entire life, it’s how he became successful, and even his success I believe is self hype. I don’t hate him, I see him for what he is, a liar, a master manipulator, and believe his followers, like you, whom I call Trumpets, are as close to a cult as it can be without actually being one. And I believe him to be dangerous, just because he and his followers are attempting to destroy democracy in our nation, and justify it behind nationalistic ideals. But I don’t hate his followers either, I just think them misled. Please stop trolling, it’s not a good look, and it belittles you unnecessarily.
1
@fitchmichael3975 — Trump is a symptom of nationalism, and the tactics he used to get elected should remind everyone of Hitler’s rise to power in Germany... but most don’t see it because we have forgotten our history. And your tying nationalism to racism is frankly disturbing, they aren’t necessarily related.

Not Lobster related, but when you mentioned that many people don’t eat meat on Friday’s, meaning people of the Catholic faith, caused a boom in lobster consumption. MsDonald’s Filet of Fish 🐠 was created for this very reason and remains so to this day. McDonald’s noticed a drop in sales every Friday and created the fish sandwich to meet that need, and it worked. It has been on McDonald’s menu ever since. 😎

@metalthrashingai2238 — Yes… There are craft brewers in my area, and restaurants that specialize in weird unique beers from all over… but some absolutely do add flavorings or mixtures to them. One local had a “Blood and Honey beer, that has a salty, hint of maple taste that I love! However… there are others with different additives that taste yucky. LOL! 😊

@goosenotmaverick1156 — Yes, I still love a teaspoon or less sugar in my coffee. 😁 😋 I noticed your prior comment about sugar use, and in your comment to me you said pre-diabetic. I so WISH someone had explained to me what type 2 diabetes was, I just assumed it was a disease that you either caught, or didn’t. In truth it’s called “insulin resistance,” meaning that you consume too much sugar throughout your lifetime and your body just keeps pumping out insulin… until it can’t anymore. You’re in the pre diabetic stage. NOW is the time to curtail your sugar, decrease as much as you can. Consider an alternative like allulose in your coffee, or just work on decreasing the amount of sugar as much as you can. Consider Avocado oil, and berberine as they also help naturally without medications. Good health matters! 😎👍🏼

@TheHistoryGuyChannel — Well? 😁

This episode is one of your best. You have a knack, a gift, for bringing emotion into what were just words. This adds meaning, and will imbed the events into our minds much more effectively. As to the one dislike you have received as I leave this response, this must be from a competitor on YouTube that must have realized he is a a shallow imbecile who will never, ever, be able to compete in your league as you sir have outclassed him, eclipsing him in every possible way. Kudos.

Steven Martin & Leslie Franklin — Agree with both of you, it shouldn’t be forgotten. But damn, is it a bone chilling history and statement of America and what man is capable of doing to one another. The horrors and survivors personal accounts I read as part of my research were scary, true stories more horrific than has ever been put out by Hollywood.
1
bloodybones63 & Mike Borsum — True, History is written by the victors. And yes, just like war crimes, every nation in every war, including the USA and its allies have committed war crimes and atrocities in every war in history. I think researching the first hand accounts, even letters home from confederate guards, told of such vivid, visceral bloody horrible actions I can still remember to this day how i just felt gutted reading their accounts. I was seriously disturbed by their stories, I can remember hating doing that research because it just made me ill thinking and reading what was done to them, and how the guards bragged about doing things today we would find unconscionable. That you both lost or had relatives that lived through that.... damn. That must make it still feel so personal for you both.

Gallipoli is a subject of perhaps not just a THG video, but perhaps a series. That is definitely history that deserves to be remembered.
1
Weird question for THG: Do you know of any differences in historic versions? For example if this event had differing tales from the Dutch and French historians. Not specifically ‘this’ event, but are there any glaring historical variations? For example a UK friend told me that our, the USA’s version of WW2 events was flawed. From the UK perspectives, America helped, but we showed up late but essentially got in the way, yet take all the credit for winning the war. What actually happened is what I’m curious about.

Rubber Neck — As I remember it... it was just a car, a decent one. Rode good! It wasn’t flashy and didn’t stand out. Was a cop car in some versions. But I remember my dad saying the mileage of the Vega was going to pay for the car, remember gas was like .25/gal then. The car had promise, but to get the mileage they went cheap on everything else.

I’m reminded of Paragraph 175, another horrific documentary.

MediaMatters IsMyCockHolster — Those damn Democrat’s huh? LOL! The History Guy pinned a message that this was a history channel, not a political channel. I am a Republican, but I also feel that my boss who has terminated 3 people this year from their jobs essentially due to his being Republican and they voiced democratic viewpoints... is as wrong as it gets. And the people he terminated were highly educated engineers who cannot be easily replaced. That we lose good employees because of politics, that good employees lose their jobs because their political views differ than ours, says way more about us than them. As mentioned in this video, we are our own enemy.

Can we please rename your channel to "Mr. & Mrs History Guy?” Or perhaps "The History Guy and his Lovely Bride?"

I’ve had several golden retrievers, my last Paco, she passed a couple of years ago in her sleep at the age of 20 human years. I’ve never known smarter, more obedient, more compassionate dogs. 🐶 Paco rudely woke me up barking at 5 am needing to go out and I felt bad for yelling "DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS GIRL?" I felt horrible when from that point forward when every morning I awoke to a soft, Oh so polite whimper, a soft barely there bark, and if she was desperate a cold wet nose on my arm or face. She could be walked anywhere without a leash, she loved people and they loved her, but not me for I had named a female dog Paco and not Paca as I should have. Once a park ranger yelled at me for not having her on a leash, I called her taking her leash out of my back pocket, she ran up to me, saw the leash and sat and waited. As I was bending down the ranger stayed my hand saying it wouldn’t be necessary with a smile. In her final years her hips were bothering her, I couldn’t afford the nearly 20k hip replacement and the vet said she needed to be put down, I agreed, said my goodbyes and was planning comforting her as she passed. Then something weird happened, when the vet she had just let handle her without concern approached, she growled so fiercely I was even scared, I consoled her, but damn if she would let that vet near her... she KNEW. Not today I informed the vet. I took her home, got used to lifting her gently into the car, and on some days she walked less, but she was so happy, so full of joy and while she knew she could never catch a squirt again, she tried. When she passed in her sleep by my bedside, it was a sweet sorrow. If dogs go to heaven, she will be there. Me... maybe... maybe not. Paco most definitely.

If it’s forgotten, how do we know it? And why, or HOW as soon as we start typing a comment does an advertisement pop up that you can’t skip without aborting the comment? Pretty smart Mr. and Mrs. History Guy! Darn sneaky too! 😎

At a restaurant near me called the Magic Time Machine they specialize in over 100 brands of beer and food that goes with beer. I’ve had more than a few “Beer Samplers” of different themes. I can absolutely positively certify that all Peach Beer tastes horrible, no matter the country of origin! 🤣 🤢

Have you covered the amazing ways that Norway defended its country when Germany invaded? That is also an awesome story.

I love the story/fact of how beer changed the world. Before beer, army’s were limited in travel by as far as water and food would last before killing the soldiers. Silver-lined canteens helped American explorers explore America. But beer helped conquer Europe! 😊
