Hello TimeGhost Army! 

We hope you all enjoyed our most recent livestream, and we would love to receive more of your feedback. This will continue to be a weekly affair, for the long term, so we hope to get to all your questions eventually. 

With this podcast we'd like to break out into new audiences and reach them with history that can help us all make better decisions about the direction we want to take the world we live in. That means that while we'll spend plenty of time on World War Two, we also want to cover other areas of history that relate to the present day so that we can grow the TimeGhost project and keep moving toward achieving our mission.

So with that said, please submit your questions! Try to keep them broad so that we have creative freedom in the show, and submit questions that aren't directly related to World War Two.

Wishing you all the best,

- Ian

Are you able to do a special on logistics. I'm interested to know what were the changes in supply routes and volumes shipped after the fall of Tunisia and then Sicily to the allies. Were more supplies sent to the Soviets via Iran? Did this also mean it was easier to supply India / Burma? I have made an assumption that most military supplies to India / Burma were from outside India. Sorry I don't have a good understanding of India industrial capacity in WW2.

Whether Axis could ever do the same OR atleast whether Axis could ever make out that their codes are broken and whether there are any incidents in WW2 resulting from the opposition (be it axis or allies) knowing that their secret codes or messages are in their enemies hands

Life for those the wars passed over. My grandfather was born in Lithuania "in the Russian Empire" at the turn of the century. A peasant witnessing the Bolshevik revolution, the Germans in World War I, the Lithuanian civil war & attack on Lithuania by Poland between two wars, the Nazis, the Soviets and the Nazis again.... Citizen survival, farmers caught poaching, hunting for food on their own land, were arrested. In World War I as a teen he worked for six months. In World War II he was hungry and caught poaching again and given the same sentence. You can't leave a farm and expect crops to appear, so what work would he do that allowed him to work the farm? Butcher? Blacksmith? Stable-boy? Near the end, after a brief Soviet / Nazi exchange of his lands, he walked west with the family in front of the Soviet return. Did farmers get an "easier punishment" than others? Farmers all hid food. Getting caught was trouble and starving was not an option. "Don't hide a pig in the attic."

Given that Canaris seems to have been effectively working against the Nazis from within was there official awareness of this within the Allied intelligence services at all? If so why did he not receive recognition of this post war?

Please tell us some of your go-to sources for research for WW2 and Great War. On the flip side, what are some of the sources that you've found lacking in either bias or factual reporting?

I have a semi controversial question that I non-the-less want answered if you can help me. So to start I fully know and justify that Germany was at fault and the cause of WW2. But my question revolves around the "Gleiwitz incident" where the Germans are prorupted to have launched the false flag attack on a Polish radio station that was the main German reason for starting the war. In Hitler's declaration of war he doesn't mention this attack at all but says there were many attacks by the Polish against Germany (which makes no sense why Poland would do that also, which still makes me believe Hitler is lying). My question is first on if we have any information on these other attacks the Germans claimed happened against them by the Polish prior to WW2. Were there other false flag attacks, did the Germans just make them up or were there actual incidents between German and Polish people on the borders (even if there were that does not justify the war still)? I have been looking for info on them now for more then a year and can't find anything. Every history document and looking at old primary source info on the New York Times and Washington Post archives does not mention the other purported attacks and only mentions the Gleiwitz incident. But even that radio attack incident seems based on very dubious info to me from what I have found. So when looking into the events of what happened at that Polish radio station only seem to have come out to the rest of the world (other then just as speculation, which was still most likely correct) as a false flag attack after the war ended from the sole person a SS Major Naujocks the US captured at the end of the war, according to what I have found. Naujocks was used in the Nuremberg trials as a witness to how the Germans started WW2 since everyone senior to him involved in the plan was dead by that point. After the war he wrote a book called "The Man who Started the War" (I can't find a copy of this book anywhere). So my second question would be do we have any other primary source info showing what Naujocks said happened is real? And I also want to further point out just because if this one SS Major Naujocks was lying to get himself out of real trouble after the war doesn't mean the events that happened at the Polish radio station didn't happen as history says they did. I am just asking if we have a more reliable source then him or secondary source to show that event happened as history says it does and then also if we have any information on the other purported (by Hitler) 20 attacks against Germany prior to the start of WW2?

I think that the book ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE by Max Hastings cover some portion of this incident

This is more of a "business of Time Ghost" question, than a history question. Have you ever considered partnering with Nebula to put the WAH videos on that platform? Other educational Youtubers (Poly Matter, Real Life Lore, etc.) put a lot of their armed conflict videos there to help get revenue for content that would be demonetized by YouTube. I know you've shied away from advertising, but you have partnered with video game companies in the past, and I'd call this more along those lines, as something that enhances the experience rather than tells me about unrelated stuff Skill Share or Hello Fresh. That's my two cents at least.

If Barbarossa had gone exactly as the Germans had planned, just how far east would they have gone? Vladivostok?

What was more hurtful for Germany the traffic jams in Fall Blau or Declaring war on America

Given your proximity to some battle sites from Bavaria, do you think you'll take a work vacation to Italy for some on-location filming? It sounds like a good excuse to travel with the 1943 Allied invasion right around the corner

I saw a post on your Instagram about a meeting at sea between a Japanese submarine and a German U-boat to exchange Subhas Chandra Bose for 2 naval officers. How often did German and Japanese subs meet each other at sea like this? Did any of them have a significant impact?
