Taabish Nadeem…

Narayan Sengupta, the author of The Used Tank Guide, lives in Atlanta.

WWI (1914-1918) is perfectly timed with the invention of the tank

We’ll sweep through what is a tank, its precursors, and WWI’s key models.

Necessity is the mother of invention


Tank catalyzed by the unique circumstances of WWI

What’s a tank? A motorized, armored and armed vehicle with caterpillar treads.



Precursors (da Vinci, Jan Žižka)
https://www.warhistoryonline.com/instant-articles/hussite-war-wagon.html


Da Vinci’s was in some sense a very elaborate doodle. Impractical. Wheels. Long overhang. Only one weapon fires in one direction. Defensive.

Chinese in 119 BC and more famously Jan Zizka’s (Yan Zhishka) is more interesting, but was a dead end, which begs the question of why? Wheels need roads. Defensive weapon. Etc. Not as good as alternatives. Not necessary to have these armored wagons.



Early attempts (massive casualties, trenches, rolling personal shields – too cumbersome and heavy w/ a rifle (limited firepower); armored cars)

Holt tractors for artillery could go cross country

Mother, Little Willie

Mark I

St. Chamond/Schneider

Mark II-V
A7V German behemoth

Whippet

Renault FT

Hello, y'all sorry about me being late with this episode. I am currently in Pennsylvania with Family on a vacation to take some time and relax for a bit (of course with safety and masks). Hope you enjoy this episode.  

The Pandemic of 1918 is something we hear of a lot recently and that may be due to the new Pandemic called Coronavirus of 2019 or COVID-19 for short. The Pandemic is often compared to the recent pandemic and here in this episode, we explore the ins and outs of the Spanish Flu and how it compares to now.  The Pandemic from 1918 didn't just have only one wave but actually 4. Spaning from 1918 (or before that according to some) to the 1920s

The Spanish Flu was an unusually deadly influenza pandemic caused by the H1N1 influenza A virus. Lasting from February 1918 to April 1920, it infected 500 million people–about a third of the world's population at the time–in four successive waves. The death toll is typically estimated to have been somewhere between 17 million and 50 million, making it one of the deadliest pandemics in human history.

"Hitler was a fascist leader and wiped out the world's 3% population. Does that make Sir Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin angels? Ever thought the people we’re celebrating lived the lives that we might condemn today? Discussing the lies of a history textbook in this episode, the hosts do not spare the Father of Nations even. Above a symbol, these leaders were a product of their time. Listen to Sammy, Maddy, and Taabish talk about the most celebrated humans in history."

"Seems like we have always looked at a nation's forefathers with rose-colored glasses of politics. Sammy and Maddy are back to unveil the symbolism of a human, yet with another guest Taabish. From Sir Winston Churchill to Christopher Columbus, hear them discuss the goodness and the ugliness of the most celebrated leaders of human history. Here’s a glimpse of the latest episode of The Pod Must Not Be Named."

Togoland was a German colonial possession in West Africa. The Colony was a model colony for Germany and was prosperous bolstering great infrastructure projects and a large economy. Togoland became the agricultural hub for Germany as well as a communication station for the German Empire from Berlin to the rest of the African colonies. Yet Togoland wasn't all happy and fun some German colonial men had harsh reactions towards the native population. The Colony also didn't have a standing army to defend its self during the war. The colony was to be greatly expanded in the Vision of the German Government if they won World War 1.  This week's episode is on the Togoland Campaign.
