History is not boring. The way you're taught is boring!
Learning history is not about sitting in some classroom
flipping through some textbook listening to
some teacher drone on.
It's about knowing why you are here!
Why you are where you are!
What made this world the place it is!

This site is a work in progress.
It's meant to interest you guys in a subject
that's really hard to teach. People want to see history
and hear about it
from those who've BEEN THERE.
Check out the photos and videos. You'll see what I mean!
And please email me with comments and suggestions
about stuff you'd like to see on here.

A British soldier who had the chance to kill a German soldier during World War 1, didn't, because the German soldier was wounded. The German soldier's name? Adolf Hitler. Feature Article
