Upcoming Q&A video

Hey guys, I'm aiming to do a Q&A video for the channel at some point next week (not sure on the date yet). So, if you have any questions, or want my opinions on a particular topic, now's the time to ask them!

I'd prefer you to ask them in response to this post so they're all in one place, but if you'd rather PM me, that's fine - just say you'd like your question answered in the Q&A video so I know to include it. All questions are welcome!

Cheers!

Hey Olaf, I've already done the Q&A video (it's actually out in about an hour and a half). So what I'll do is add your question to the next one, if that's alright. It's a good question!

Assuming that an important objective of Barbarossa was to secure access to raw materials, such as oil and grain; how did the Nazi's initially try to accomplish that. Did they try to force a truce on the Soviet Union by capturing Moscow, and get the Caucasian oilfields as a concession ? Since they failed to accomplish this, was Fall Blau contemplated as an alternative to achieve their goal ?

Ok! I'm not sure I'm super-qualified to talk about either Alan Brooke or Churchill and the Bomb, but I'll certainly give it a shot :)

I finished reading Alan Brooke's war diaries a few days ago and I wonder if there's ever been any thought about making a movie about him? Or even a mini-series. Some of the rows between him and Churchill would make for some interesting entertainment. Besides that, there are some pretty funny moments such as the pistol demonstration of the Habbakuk material sample that had aids wondering if the British and Americans conference talks had got so heated that they had opened fire on each other. I haven't read Churchill's 6 volume set about WW2 but from the epilogue in Brooke's book, I can understand why Brooke changed his decision about his diaries being published after he passed away. I really had no idea how difficult Churchill could be at times. Pretty childish sometimes when the spotlight was away from him for too long. I must admit I was a bit shocked at his behavior when he found out about the Trinity test results and went off about how the Russians will now do as they are told or Russian cities would be blotted out until they smartened up. I guess my question, aside from a movie about Alan Brooke, concerns Churchill and his attitude about the A-bomb. I've always wondered why the Americans didn't help Britain to develop the bomb but now I'm thinking Churchill must have had a bit too much to drink one night and called up Truman demanding the bomb so he could put the Russians in their place. Just kidding of course, but maybe word did get back to Truman about how Churchill carried on after the test results and decided England's newly elected government might have a similar attitude so maybe it would be too risky to have them as a nuclear power at that time. Be interesting to hear your opinion about this.
