As you can see making these videos is a huge undertaking, and we hope that this video has shown how the TimeGhost Army is the foundation of everything we do here. We're setting a fundraising goal of $15,000 in new and increased Patreon pledges, and over the next week will be keeping you updated as to our progress toward that goal. All of this would not have been possible without you, so join the effort on Patreon: www.patreon.com/join/timeghosthistory
There is another TH-cam channel that has a "50 cent army". They have just about the same number of subscribers and ask for only .50. It might be a little easier on subscribers' wallet. Just a thought. Keep up the GREAT work and I'm looking forward to D-Day!
I am impressed!!! All this dedication in the name of history, plus, I was surprised that you guys have a partnership with one of the most respected news agency in the world (Reuters), I didn't expect that!!!
After WW2 is over , what are your plans ?
Thank you for all of your hard work. Your videos are already a major part of the Historical record. It's wonderful that you get these events recorded as close to the historical events as possible,. Thank you so much, and I hope you find more sponsors. I'm truly looking forward to your up coming D-day coverage.
@@augustuswayne9676 Probably Cold war and Korean war?
All of you are deeply appreciated, and I'm glad I'm already supporting you on Patreon and will be increasing my pledge. It's been more than just the entertainment and the depth of history, it's been entertaining and affirming as well, especially through the darkest days of COVID, in a way that feels like it's a worldwide community, and that's given me hope and comfort. Your channel has become, along with a few others, an important part of my life and the lives of others. Thank you.
From the whole team here, thank you. It's always incredible to know that all of you see this channel in the same way we do, and that we have a community that is so ready to work with us on making this history.
All the best,
- TimeGhost Team
I am a current 25 dollar a month patreon subscriber. I decided to up my monthly about about 6 months ago from 9 dollars. If you watch these videos regularly and haven’t contributed to patreon for this project I would wholeheartedly recommend you do so. For most of the year, you know that every week your getting almost close to an hours worth of historically amazing content from this team for free on TH-cam! This team deserves every dollar that comes to them and I would love for them to keeping making content for us for years to come. So please do patreon if you can.
Thank you. It's only thanks to people like you in the TimeGhost Army that this content can be freely accessible worldwide, and we respect all of you dearly for making that kind of educational reach possible.
When I finish school and start my military service I might start donating but right now I need to save money. Great work from your team and thank you to all supporters
I knew Astrid was important to the operation but I didn't realize the scale of it. Huge thanks to the whole team for what you're doing here. Money's tight but I'll up my pledge from private to PFC.
We call Astrid the Queen of F**king Everything 👑
She always has the final say and direction.
Signed up on Patreon. I have been following Indy since "The Great War". My grandfather was an aircraft artificer in the Signal Corp, he arrived in France in March 1918. I have a photo of him at one of the training fields. My uncle was with the 32nd division in New Guinea and stayed with it through the Philippines. My father was a Navy signalman, my mother was a WAC, and my aunt worked in a steel mill.
And this is how you gain supporters.
Quality,
Transparency,
Integrity.
Consistency.
Finally became a Patreon supporter thanks to this call.
YOWSERS!...as one of your poorest viewers I'm now riddled with guilt, I'm 62 years old and I get to retire the day before the coroner signs my death certificate. Wishing I could be on the Time Ghost team is like wishing to win the lottery without a ticket. All I can do is really hope those who are able to help will make this keep happening. Sending big hugs to each and every one of you because I absolutely love what you all do.
This is what being a team member is all about friend, those of us who are in the position to be Parteons are so that folks like you and countless others are able to enjoy the fantastic work of Indy, Sparty, Astrid and crew.
@@JuleyC beautifully said
There's no need to be riddled with guilt! Your own well-being and financial priorities always come first. We really appreciate your support as a dedicated fan and are proud to have you watching our videos 🫡
Hopd you manage to find a way to enjoy a well deserved and proper retirement!
I’m a Time Ghost Army 1943/1944 Division donor for the past two years and a TG Specialist donor for the preceding years. I strongly recommend supporting TG at any level you can afford as this is important work. This knowledge can save our world from repeating the horrors of WWII. Never forget.
Sparty and Astrid really have a very nice home. They seem like such genuinely nice people. I’m happy that they have that and I’m glad you all have them.
Been supporting for a very long time as a member of the TimeGhost Army, and will continue supporting until the war's end and beyond. Every new member and pledge helps to bring a steadier end to the war. Thank you Indy and team, you guys are awesome as always!
Thank you Dickson! It's always a pleasure to see you in the comments, premiers, and on Patreon. Glad to have you in the TimeGhost family!
I get that the living room set wasn't that convenient to film in, but the furniture was really fitting for Between Two Wars!
Because War against humanity is the series that needed to be made. No matter how hard emotional it can be to watch.
I joined the TGA to honor my grandfather who fought in the war and to learn about the most significant historical events of the 20th century from people who care about the topic, treat it respectfully but also don’t shy away from the harsh truth.
Thank you, we hope we do your grandfather's memory justice.
My grandfather fought in the war, but he was on the team that came in second place.
@@AlaskaErik One of my best friends was a Sturmgeschütz IV commander who surrendered in the Kurland pocket. He passed last December at the age of 99.
This is probably THE most professional and informative show on WW2 out there; in general, not just on TH-cam. I will gladly put forward a few dollars of my hard earned money to help keep things running. I've been watching the series since the Great War back when I was in high school. Juring my lunch hour I would always tune in for an other episode, it became a tradition. Fast forward to my working adult life and nothing has changed! I still sit down every lunch break to learn a little more about one of the most interesting points in human history. It's only fair then, that I give a little in return after all I've learned.
I can't wait to see what future content you guys come up with.
Cheers!
All the best buddy
Why donate to a history channel on TH-cam? Because as a history channel, not only are they lightyears better than the actual History Channel, they’re the best damn history channel on TH-cam. The lengths this team goes to to present history in a comprehensive, all-encompassing yet totally understandable and well communicated fashion simply does not have any parallel. Give em yr damn money.
Man, if my financial situation wasn't so precarious (Fixed monthly income, very little left after bills and essentials) I would support this channel through Patreon without hesitation, an d likely would have already been doing so. Unfortunately it's just not feasible at this time. That being said, I still would like to thank everyone at Time Ghost for providing such quality historical programming free of charge. I am deeply appreciative of all of your efforts in making this the most comprehensive collection of WW2 educational programming I've ever seen. Again, thank you very much and I hope everyone at Time Ghost has a great day!
This is what being a team member is all about friend, those of us who are in the position to be Parteons are so that folks like you and countless others are able to enjoy the fantastic work of Indy, Sparty, Astrid and crew.
@@JuleyC Absolutely, and aside from thanking the Time Ghost team for all their hard work I'll also say thank you to the Patreon supporters that make this all possible.
And thank you for the reminder that people such as yourself make this great content possible and free for people in my situation or a situation similar to it. I hope you have a great day.
Your own well-being and finances always come first! Thank you for the kind words, and we're glad to have your support!
Joined the Time Ghost Army yesterday after being a viewer since the early days of WWI. What a coincidence! Love what you guys do. This is the only channel I sponsor. That's how good you guys are. PFC Dave reporting for duty!
Welcome aboard! We're honored to have you in the ranks of the TimeGhost Army 🫡
As an individual and a High School Social Studies teacher, I wanted to take a moment to say I genuinely appreciate what you all do for this project and I hope you continue to grow and be successful. You are providing a genuine service to us humans by preserving and telling this story for all to see. This video convinced me to finally take the plunge to financially support you because I really should spend money on the things that matter.
Cheers from the states.
It's always a honor to read that an teacher appreciates what we do. Thank you for enlisting!
Indy and the team, I can’t begin to say how appreciative I am of this project and the work you all put in to this. To have such a vast and deeply researched repository so freely accessible to everyone is something historians of past ages could have only dreamed of. You are, truly, creating the master copy of documentaries on the Second World War. It will never be done better.
That's exactly what we set out to create. What's really important to us is that the videos are, as you say, so freely accessible. We hope that people around the world can learn the important lessons of our collective past. That has only been possible because of the relatively small number of people in the TimeGhosg Army that have stepped up to make this series available for everyone else.
So from the bottom of our hearts, thank you!
The jump cuts jump cut was brilliant. Thank you guys for your work.
I can't even comprehend the effort you guys put into it, thank you for the channel, and all your series.
It's a lot of work but it's all worth it. It's thanks to all of you that joined us on this project that we can do the history justice, so thank you!
@@WorldWarTwo The amount of work you all do for a noble and educational purpose is so inspiring to me. All I can say is thank you.
I watched all episodes on WW2. I learned so much from this series .
I recently had a Saturday night schmooze with my kids a about ww2, I spoke for about an hour and a half explaining the start of the war and didn't reach Barbarossa. The next weekend I started Barbarossa.
Thank you for making learning WW2 so enjoyable.
On a side note all 4 of my grandparents lived through the war, my grandmother who was in Auschwitz is still alive. this series is immensely important!
Please don't feel guilty of running ads or sponsorships. It's totally fine to sit through an ad. For the minor delay it brings us viewers, it must bring in more compensation for yall. I hope to help contribute to this absolutely fantastic project soon! Best wishes from Houston!
I really appreciate that Time Ghost is very much a small business in the sense that this isn’t controlled behind the scenes by some sort of content producing factory company sort of thing.
This video finally made me support this project. For years, since i was a teen, i've been following your videos, glued to your dedication and the quality of your content!
What you're doing here is truly something unique that will forever be a staple of history youtube. Keep on fighting TimeGhost!
Okay, your video worked, I joined. A lot of my family members were involved in WW1 and WW2 (on the German side), many of them died. I want to know more.
I've been watching every weekend since day 1 of the great war. As soon as I wake up saturday, I make breakfast and watch the weekly show. A twenty minute staple that starts of my day right. Thank you all
I'm absolutely astounded at the work that goes into creating this series but then again.... I shouldn't be. The quality of the final products show.
Bravo to all at Timeghost for bringing the most thoroughly documented coverage of WW2....ever!
Imo there's nothing wrong about expanding your sponsorship deals. Even to regular episodes. You do such a good job that you should be rewarded for it
I have been watching this channel for many years and I am really glad to finally find out how the videos of my favorite channel are made. Keep up the amazing work guys 👍🏻💪🏻
Hope this helped lift the curtain a little! We know how excited so many of you are for the videos, and thought you'd appreciate knowing exactly what the movie magic looks like.
I don't think I have ever seen anyone do a video like this and go over the actual cost and about money. People are so scared to talk about money so it's so great to see a video like this.
I've watched Indy & team since their WW1 days. I was never in a financial position to contribute until now. Thank you for everything that you all do! I'm happy to be able to assist where I can!
Longtime Patron since WW1 here! Thanks for this transparent and honest video. You've convinced me to increase my contribution to €10 a month for the remainder of the war. Keep it up!
it is our duty to remember... my father was 15 on Dec 7, 1941..... August of 1942 when only 16, he "adjusted" his age to be 17 and enlisted in the Coast Guard. Served 4 years, convoy duty to Africa among other duties, passed away at the young age of 48 in 1974....been a Patreon member for many months... heading over now....
MI$$ION ACOMPLI$HED
Thank you for sharing your father's story with us. We hope to keep his and millions of other people's stories alive.
I signed up for two main reasons: 1) believe in the project and I find it such an amazing resource to finally place things chronologically when it comes to WW2. I have read and seen a lot of content of the war before this series and this is by far the most interesting and informative approach to it I have ever seen.
2) I noticed that I was spending $30 a month on Hulu+ but I maybe watched it once a week and then I rarely watched something I liked. I felt that money was way better spent on a project I genuinely enjoy watching and whose episodes I always await Saturday morning while having coffee
Just signed up. The ww2 week by week series is great content and i guess the most extensive documentary on ww2. The historical documentaries by timeghost are really helping me understand the political climate of today and the future! Thanks for making it!
I only recently became a supporter on Patreon but I'm very proud to be a part now. Both my grandfathers were involved in WW2, one as a merchant marine with the US and another as a young boy in occupied Greece. It is amazing to hear about this period of history in such detail and with an unwavering commitment to accuracy and truth. The time ghost team is making something that will benefit every human who watches it. It is a great work for posterity. Thanks Time Ghost team!
We're proud to have you in the TimeGhost Army! Hope we do your family's memory justice.
For those of us not able to donate we can still comment like and share my dudes. Every little bit does help
Absolutely!
Ever since I saw my first video by you, Astrid or the dude with the 'stash, I knew I getting free stuff you usually have to pay dearly for. Like a PBS (US) special. Great stuff. Thanks for the inside look and the honest accounting. (That's almost a pun given the content you create.)
Your series on WWII is outstanding. Turning the cameras behind the scenes, has given me a deeper appreciation of what you teams accomplishes week after week, month after month and year after year. Keep up your excellent productions and thank you for sharing!
Thank you for this video. It's easy to assume as a layman that you get tens of thousands of dollars a month on Patreon, surely that's enough to make your videos (as high in quality and production values as they are). This honest and transparent breakdown of your costs really helped me appreciate not just the work of Indy, Astrid and Sparty, but of the rest of the team and the business partners who support you.
After years of enjoying your wonderful content I have finally pledged at the Specialist tier. Good luck hitting your goal.
Thank you
The image of Indy puffing a cigar and drinking brandy like Churchill is hilarious.
I have been reading and learning about World War 2 history for about 60 years, and I learned long ago that there are many folks with greater knowledge than I will ever have. Indy, Spartacus, et al. regularly remind me of that fact as I always learn something new in every episode. Perhaps the greatest benefit of this format for me is how it has made me much more aware of the parallel timelines, what’s going on in the Mediterranean, in the USSR, in the Pacific, in the air, and on the sea, making the incredible scope of the war clearer. My wife and I have supported you for a couple years, since shortly after discovering your outstanding content, and we are pleased to increase our contribution to ensure you can complete the story of the greatest tragedy mankind has yet inflicted upon itself. Never forget.
I'll simply say: in a sea of clickbait, profit-motivated algorithms, and instant gratification content, I look forward to the contrast that is WW2's exceptional content every week. Informative, insightful, reflective, exciting, sobering. And it always leaves me thinking, and looking forward to more. You all have a gift for this, and all us viewers/patrons have been lucky to have you these last several years. And not just WW2 - Between 2 Wars, the Cuban Missile Mini Series, and in the before times: Great War and Sunday Baseball
Which, BTW Indy - if you ever want to revive SB for another inning or two, I'd be first in line for the Patreon. :)
I had a patreon sponsorship and will be renewing it very soon, very simply this sort of project is something I have a massive amount of respect for. The dedication of everyone involved is mind-boggling and the content is top quality. These mad bastards slug it out for god knows how many hours and I think that this sort of documentation on the biggest war in human history is unreal and deeply interesting and i'm very happy that something like this exists. Keep it up lads and lassies for this kind of effort honestly requires 100ft statues of every single one of you in 24 carat gold.
Thank you - we'd love to have those statues... 😉
@@WorldWarTwo i've never built one, but i'd happily give it a go
Just today I had a conversation with an employee of my local bookstore, picking up a book about World War 2 that I ordered. We talked about the subject briefly. We approached the subject how recent studies have shown that an increasing number of young people in our country (the Netherlands) have no knowledge anymore about the Holocaust and other atrocities committed during World War 2. I think that alone warrants joining the TimeGhost army to make sure the content can keep coming to educate today's and future generations so that we may never forget.
I became part of the timeghost army because I believe that having a readily accessible form of educational and intriguing visual/audio content is impeccable and important for future generations to truly be able to see how war, especially so horrific of one, can take so long to conclude
I've been wondering how come your videos, the whole series, are so good. Now I know.
Thank you!
I've been following the channel for several years now, sharing the newest weekly video with my dad every saturday, and this was a wonderful look behind to scenes to see how this all actually comes together. It's also the little push I needed to join the TimeGhost Army with an annual subscription. I hope the numbers will continue to climb!
I still have a few living relatives such as my grandmother who was a teenager when the war began and lived through the occupation of the Netherlands, and my grandfather (deceased) was sent to Germany as a forced labourer, was sent to a camp for sabotaging machines, and escaped during an air raid, and spent much of the war hiding with a German farmer before joining with the advancing Canadians (he then joined the Dutch army and stayed there as a sergeant until the 1950s). Unfortunately my grandfather passed away long before I was born and I heard he never really spoke much about his wartime experiences, and it's a shame - having a masters in history myself - that I never got to ask him about it myself and the details will likely be gone forever. It goes to show you the importance of recording this information and passing it on before it is lost.
I have not given any thought to raising my pledge. Thanks for the video as I''ll change that contribution to the next level.. I really enjoy your productions.
This is important.
Upgraded Patreon level, that I started 2018. Thank you for Your effort!
By years and decades, these documentaries will be very, very useful.
You guys are personal heroes of mine. And many other viewers, I'm sure . PS I've been here since 2014!
You guys do an exhaustive, excellent job.
Seeing your thumb next to others reminds me of going over those other channels. They use 8 posed stock reaction headshots and interchange them. Everyone has their mouth open in astonishment or anger, or laughter.
YT formula thumbnail.
I joined the Time Ghost Army back with the kickstarter campaign. Just added the PFC monthly donation. As a veteran of the Ivy Division I know that the history of D-Day and Utah Beach is worth the added donation.
I didn't realize just how much Astrid and Sparty do for the show, not to belittle anybody else of course, all of the team puts forth amazing worth, but those two are definitely unsung heroes.
The special episode ad presentation and integration has been by far the best I can remember. The ad had fit perfectly and made sense - to watch and not to skip.
I like that way you had chosen cause it shows the emphasis you had spend to put the advertiser in the right context and it was not a waste of time, just a good decision and preparation.
Chapeau and good luck for the Normandy series or better the whole 1944 campaign ahead of you even though I still struggle a lot with the 1 year offset being 2023 and talking about 1944 instead of 1943. But overall a great progress and overview about all the bits and pieces that needed to be in place to record the next whatever - especially in those corona years we had passed with so many supply chain issues.
thanks a lot
I've been following since the Great War, and as a lover of history, Time Ghost, put simply, is invaluable. You've all helped me better understand humanity's capacity for great evil and enormous heroism. You've helped put the modern world, which can seem so hurricanic when viewed from ground-level, into context - knowledge from this channel has alleviated my fears of the future countless times. And yet, somehow, Time Ghost has always maintained a charming, companionable demeanor that, at a personable level, elevates simple informing to what feels like real, genuine communication.
I don't think "thank you" really begins to cover it.
When I started watching The Great War i was in middle school, now i am almost done with college. It has been a truly magnificent journey and i hope it will not end prematurely. I support this channel, because i truly believe, that in order to create a better future we have to learn from the past. Thanks for teaching me so much about history. Keep up the good work.
I was aware that you are professionals, but now i know that you are more than that.
Thrue dedication in every aspect.
Respect.
Well, of course it's much difficult than what most think. You need to have a studio. And you actually need these money- you have to pay your team, as well as the cost of the equipment you use. The research takes a lot of time, and I can confirm this with my own experience. I really appreciate and enjoy your videos. I sometimes manage to capture some videos live and that's really good. Sadly, I can't support you yet, because I'm not 18 and I don't have card. All I can do is subscibing and giving a like to your projects. Overall, good job and keep up the work!
Been watching your videos since the early days of the Great War since I was just 15 years old, now I'm a 23 student. After Indy's stories about battles of the Isonzo and the Italian front in my youth, I enrolled in the exchange program in Trentino, Italy and saw a great deal of the war relics there, without you guys those things would just be bricks and stone to me. It really encouraged me to explore the region and strengthen passion for history in general. I couldn't afford to support your guys right now cause the exchange rates are crazy in Vietnam, but soon I can and it's good to contribute to your project. Keep up the good work.
I just discovered this channel in November and have since spent hours watching. I kept up with the WW2 by week and went back to spring 1943 as background. Now I'm up to 1934 in Between 2 Wars. In January I became a Patreon donor at $5 but can afford more and I'll up my contribution. You folks do an outstanding job and I've been learning plenty about subjects I was fairly well-informed about. Great work and kudos to the entire team.
Clear statement, well explained. I'm in. Good luck raising sufficient funds!
No documentary or series has been as comprehensive as your channel. I look forward to your posts and uploads every week and habitually watch WW2 in real time every Saturday morning with breakfast in Minnesota! I’ve been fascinated with WW2 since I was 9, and I’m now 24, and your channel has only kept me more and more fascinated! Starting my Masters in Military History/WW2 next month!
i forget when i started watching this series. i want to say the year 3 videos were probably the latest up. regardless, its been a fascinating ride.
the history around ww2 is something i've always enjoyed studying in school and seeing it presented in such an in depth manner, its great to say the least
seeing the behind the scenes and how this all works is impressive, a lot of effort and dedication that is clear in every episode i watch.
i've had a big unexpected health expense and have not been working for a few days. but once i get back to it and start getting paid again, well this will be the first patreon i've ever supported
I've been a TG Army Specialist ($9 pledge) since August 2019. I will not say why I think others should join, because I believe it should be every person's own decision :) I will, however, share why I decided to join, and why I will raise my pledge: because what you're doing is just amazing. You're pouring your hearts into a magnificent project of huge proportions, documenting the reality and preserving the memory of the events that have affected so many lives and shaped the world as it is today. You're dedicating your lives to spread awareness of a topic that will only ever be interesting to a relatively narrow group of people - let's face it, few care about history. My appreciation for you is beyond words, and if you ask me, I think you _should_ be swimming in money and cruising in convertibles. Thank you so much for your hard work and I wish you all the best.
Happy to be a supporter! Your dedication and your professionalism are the reasons why I joined the army. I totally agreed with the importance of this project and I hope that others will also join and support you!
This series will be used in say 100 years as a source for information about ww2 by students and historians. This series by the time it’s finished will be the most in depth detailed series about the whole of ww2 ever created
I've been watching every episode without fail since September 1939, which is back when I was in school. Even though I didn't have a job I still signed up for the $9/month tier because the content being made here was like none other. The level of quality, detail, and dedication is frankly indescribable with any known words. Now I have an adult job with adult money and I have up'd to the $25/month tier. I honestly do not know what I will do with my weeks come August 1945, but what I do know is I will enjoy every video until then and that this is the best place I have ever spent my money.
❤❤❤
Time Ghost has become the only TH-cam channel I support directly through patreon, because as other content gets more restricted or less interesting, Time Ghost only continues to get ever better as both a source of history and a source of positive entertainment. Add that to the fact that, as the last eleven and a half months have shown us, we all need to remember these lessons and we need as many people as possible to be encouraged to learn about it. As Indy says, history doesn't happen in a vacuum. We are living inside of history right now, and Time Ghost shows us that better than any other avenue of history education or entertainment I've ever seen. Thank you to the team, and to everything you do. Your work is appreciated.
…and your words and membership are appreciated!
Discovered The Great War way back in Spring 1918. Been following ever since. When this project began, I threw a Patreon subscription at it. Its the least I felt I could do for one of my most valued sources of edu-tainment these last few years. WWII day by day is remarkable. The Specials on Time Ghost are remarkable. Pearl Harbor was a damn masterpiece. If the Allied plans for a great western European invasion bear fruit, I know the team will be wherever and whenever that invasion comes. The coverage is sure to be another 10/10.
Thanks for doing this; I think it's easy for most people to underestimate the number of individuals and volume of work it takes to build videos at the level of quality you do at Time Ghost. As for me personally, finding this channel blew my mind and opened my eyes to what is possible to do with a historical TH-cam channel. The level of detail in each of your weekly videos makes the viewer feel like they were really experiencing what it was like to be alive during those difficult times, and gives me new appreciation for the generations that came before me. The relatively safe world we know today is only thanks to their struggling efforts to save and rebuild it for us. Thank you, grandma and grandpa, rest in peace.
I have been a patreon member, and had to retire from that due to money issues. These are past now, and the war is still going on strong. I will pledge again and look forward to hearing my name again, at my wedding week, I was patreon member of the week :)
What Indy and the team are creating is invaluable, it is truly an inconceivable feat, done immensely well. Keep fighting the good fight.
I believe we should all support Timeghost to make sure we never forget and always remember the sacrificies made for our freedom.
Been watching Indy and this team since the Great War (at since the 1916 spring offensives) bought merch there and with WW2 I've been a patreon member for years now. I'd like to do more than the small amount that I give but am not able to currently, but I am hoping that will change.
You guys have been part of my weekly media consumption for 6 going on 7 years now and I always look forward to watching this videos, sharing with others. I've made some good friends through The Great War and WW2 series by sharing and discussing these videos.
For anyone who love history, I hope that you consider chipping in some funds every month to make sure that we all benefit from the wealth of knowledge that is shared and that we never forget.
I’ve supported this channel from the beginning, think I had to stop briefly due to Patreon not letting me sign in. But I love your content and have done since the Great War from the beginning. I was giving £8 but I’ve updated it to £9, think I forget to do it after the changes. I am training to be a primary school teacher next year and I would love to specialise in history. I am probably going to use this channel to educate my future students abit as I love the whole entire of the war in a week idea. Been a loyal fan for years, keep up the amazing work guys. Looking forward to the secret allied Normandy landings! 👀😂
This has been one of the most interesting and special series I’ve ever watched. You guys are awesome! Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
Sparty, Indy, and Astrid are doing the work that all of us have often said should be done but few are willing to do. That is reason enough for me to support them and I will increase my support too. Modern times require innovation to share the lessons of the past and the Time Ghost team is providing this essential service.
Thank you ♥️
I've bumped up to the $25 tier. This is a series that is as important as it is interesting, and I'm happy to do my part to help so that it can be seen through to its completion, even if I intend to remain an otherwise silent viewer and you will likely not see me participating in any fan gatherings or guaranteed question-answerings. I do believe this project will be historical in its own right, able to be looked back on for years, so thank you to the TimeGhost Team.
I have appreciated this series since I started watching during the Pandemic. It reminds me of my younger days when I would watch the old WW2 documentaries or Ken Burn's Civil War series.
The quality has always been very impressive and as someone who does a history podcast on a small budget I get how the costs can totally become overwhelming. I signed up on your website today in appreciation. Thank you and the team and here is to lots of success in the future!
It was a really good idea to explain the financials of it all, since I believe alot of people have a thwarted opinion about the income coming from youtube channels. The work you do with "War against humanity" is very important, so I will try to help more. Never forget!
Thank you!
One of the rare channels that I actively support by Patreon. Some might think, but like you explained, you are actually not earning a lot from this. A lot of the quality, especially from your earlier content, had to come from passion and dedication to this channel and idea, and that I something that I truly respect. Keep going forward Team, I hope you will be able to get even more support as the time goes on!
I do hope that all of you understand how truly appreciated you are for all of the outstanding content that you provide.
6:13 Damn, she has aged quite well for someone who has been editing video for 83 years
So many stories, so little time. I have been a Patreon "private" for a long time. I just upped it because your work needs more support. You always provide detailed, honest info, which is not always comfortable (for any country). The War Against Humanity series on it's own deserves significant, additional praise. Many of us know only bits and pieces of the stories of the non-combatants. Sparty "brings the receipts," showing from where we get the numbers. More importantly, the numbers are put into human terms. He does it with sensitivity, even when being brutally honest. I can't imagine how many times it must have felt overwhelming to create such impactful, important content. Thank you to the whole team - Astrid, Indy, and Sparty.
Definitely pledging on Patreon after seeing this, the weekly ww2 eps are what help get me through the morning rush at work on Saturdays
Increased the tier, thank you for all the efforts! I have never seen history covered in such detail, your content is truly unique and I believe you have one of the best channels on YT! Cheers!
I've watched weekly for 3 years appreciate this channel immensely but have never given monetarily. Today I subscribed on timeghost (no need to give patreon 10%) and enabled ads on this channel. Honestly, the transparency is refreshing and I appreciate knowing what it takes and what you all give to allow me all of 20 minutes a few times a week to enjoy. You deserve everything you're given.
Your work is absolutely the finest historical educational content ever! Every video is fantastic. I never knew how incredibly complicated WWII was and how much understanding it can help us in the present and future. Thank you for all your efforts!
You have delivered above and beyond on all fronts (heh). You are greatly appreciated!!
Thank you all for your hard work. It is appreciated very much.
Very informative. I had no idea of how large your organization was.
I've been watching Indy since WW1, and I am still in awe of this massive undertaking. A give a few hundred dollars a year in the hope they are able to see this through to the end.
Thank you for joining the project, the whole undertaking is only possible because of all of you.
I first started watching the Great War back in 2015 and have been a steady watcher and previously a patron since then. I love and appreciate the dedication of the team to the project, it's truly remarkable and a bright light in the darkness that is TH-cam.
Thank you so much for sharing all of this behind the scenes information with us. As members of the TimeGhost Army, we are all small stakeholders in this project, and we all want to see it achieve its complete potential. I will be upping my pledge to continue supporting your amazing project, and to hopefully make it just a little bit easier for you all to produce the show you envision. Thanks again for all of the work and hours you have poured into making this project a reality for all of us to enjoy, learn from, and be a small part of.
I have joined one of if not the greatest historical projects of all time! Will never regret supporting such a massive effort.
You guys are doing a great job! Seeing how the volume and production value have increased over the years, there is no doubt the entire team is working hard to make the channel as good as it could possibly be. I am in my second year as member of the TimeGhost Army and I am happy to continue supporting this ambitious project. I can only urge people to consider a pledge on Patreon and I am seriously considering to raise mine to Brigadier. I think a video like this has been long overdue, adding transparency and highlighting the scope of this immense operation. This fight requires an army indeed!
Although I'm not a patreon or other doner to your channel, this series has fascinated me I hope you recieve the funding to continue through everything.
Been very happy to have been signed up to provide on Patreon for this channel since the beginning because I fell in love with your work during the WW1 series. Just a few months ago I went from the $3 to the $9 tier because I felt you guys needed all you can. I even canceled another subscription to move that money towards you guys as your work is just above and beyond. Anyone that has any sense of a love for history, especially WW2, should be donating to you all. I've never once thought that my money was going to waste with you. Keep up the great work!
Other than merchandise, I never donated to the World War One channel. When this project started, I had to join. I came for the weekly episodes with Indy, but now I think Sparty's WAH episodes are a few of the most important videos on TH-cam. Stuff that everyone should learn and never forget.
