Next Friday's video is about an unusual event in the 1970s. Jane Goodall observed a tribe of chimpanzees when during her research the tribe disintegrated and eventually fell into full-on civil war.

Hey Patrons, I hope all of you are doing well. This Friday I'm uploading the video about the oldest kiss in the world - an incredible archaeological find from +- 800 BC!

We all know the stories of Nazis that fled to Argentina, or were recruited by the United States. But do you know the curious tale of the most senior Nazi official to vanish after WW2, considered to be dead until the 1960s when KGB defectors came with testimonies?

I got such a positive response to my video about the Prussian Scheme that I decided to start creating shorter videos about interesting people/places/events in history.
Since I started HoH I have kept a document where I jotted down ideas and articles. It is a lot of fun to work on this and I will probably be able to upload twice (!) a week at least for the coming couple of months.
Don't worry: the history of Prussia is nearly wrapped up. I want to take my time with the last couple ...

Next Friday we will look at a curious episode of constitutional history of the United States. Did you know there might have been a scheme to put a Prussian King on the throne? It would turn the United States into a monarchy!

Next week we'll look at the reign of Frederick the Great and what he meant for Prussia. For patrons it is already available this weekend!

Dear Patrons,
This Friday we will have a look at the childhood of one of the greatest monarchs in European history: Frederick the Great. It was a terrible childhood as he was tormented by his father, the Soldier King. It is an interesting aspect of his life that is lesser known than his great feats during his adult life.

If you are bored this Sunday - check out next Friday's video! It's about Frederick William I, Prussia's Soldier King.
This is the era where Prussia's notorious militarism truly took off.

Hi Patrons!
Thank you very much with sticking with me even though I had to take a small hiatus because of work. I am planning on uploading every Friday as long as time allows it again!
I'm really happy to be working on House of History again. It is my passion-project after all. I cannot express my gratitude to you guys that decide my work is worth supporting financially. Thanks again!

You have probably noticed I have not uploaded a video in over a month now. I have received some private messages as well, and I owe all of you an explanation. Now that all of us are Corona-quarantined there is no better time to do so.
HoH has been a passion project for over 1.5 years, with weekly uploads, sometimes 2. It has taken up a great deal of my time, and I've enjoyed every second of it. I've met great people, received an overwhelming amount of enthusiasm and ...

The video for next Friday covers the territories of Brandenburg-Prussia and the incredible hardships Brandenburg endured during the Thirty Years' War.

For those that cannot wait until next Friday: this video covers the early history of House Hohenzollern. It covers how they managed to acquire Brandenburg, and eventually how Brandenburg-Prussia came to be.
It is definitely one of my more in-depth and interesting videos, in my humble opinion. I tried to condense over 300 years of dynastic history into one video. To be honest, I think it came out alright.
Hope you enjoy!

This video will be released on December 10th and mark the beginning of my complete history of Prussia documentary series.
For those that have seen my End of Empire: Fall of the Qing Dynasty (over 2.5 hours of footage), the history of Prussia will at least be double that!
I will take you on a journey from the 13th century, when the Teutonic knights colonized the region that would, centuries later, become known as the Duchy of Prussia, all the way to 1947, when the Allied powers abo...

Working hard on the videos for the next couple of weeks. There are multiple well- and lesser-known secret missions, military operations and battles from the Second World War scheduled!

Perhaps you have seen other creators mention the Armchair Historian Website already. This afternoon I am uploading a segment about Ukraine's Nightingale Battalion during the Second World War.
It is part of a 3-part series for the Armchair Historian Website. Griffin (the ACH) has given me 100% off codes for my patrons. If you want to check out what the website is about, you can use promo code "HOUSEOFHISTORY" for a 2 month free trial.

The channel hit 10.000 subscribers last night! As a celebratory video, I thought a Q&A would be fitting.
Because you, the patrons, are the backbone of my channel, obviously your questions will have priority in the upcoming video. Is there anything you'd like to know? About me, or in general about YT/history? Feel free to leave a comment and I'll answer it in the upcoming Q&A video!
An incredibly heartfelt thank you to each and everyone of you. Whe...

Hi everyone, this is the video I will upload next Friday. Welcome to my 2 new Patrons Zsolt & Ben Bregman!
From next week onwards you will be added as 'Officer' in the Patron credits. For now I have added a thank you in the description.
The video next Friday will be about Michael Wittmann, one of the greatest Panzer aces of the Second World War.
If there is a topic you'd like to see covered, let me know your thoughts!

This is by far the most requested topic since I started House of History nearly 1 year ago. It will be uploaded next week - but as a patron you're able to view it in advance! Hope you enjoy.

This is the video that will be released next Friday. Next Tuesday, I'll publish another travel video about Hungary's City of Queens, the Trianon museum and a small sleepy medieval millers' town!
Kind regards,

Dear all,
The regular history video will be up tomorrow (spoiler: it is about the last German Wehrmacht unit to surrender after WW2). I am just adding the finishing touch in-between traveling out here on the countryside. Here is the video scheduled for next Tuesday! Hope you enjoy,
All the best,
Oscar
PS. The cats came with the Airbnb. I am thinking of naming them Bismarck, Churchill and Napoleon.

Dear Patrons,
Because you have taken the effort to actively support my channel, I feel it is only right to share with you a new project I am working on and very excited about.
I am currently roadtripping through Austria and Hungary. After having done my due research I have mapped out +-15 villages, towns and castles in Hungary we are going to visit.
I would like to know what you think of this format: a 'vlog' type travel documentary. Generally there will be much histor...
