tl;dr: I'm now a YouTube partner and you can give me money through super chats and channel memberships (but you don't have to)

Hey everyone,
This is German WWII Archive, and I hope you're all doing well.

The other day I submitted an application for YouTube partnership.
I never cared much about being a YouTube partner for the past 3 years that I've had this channel, but I was just curious to find out if they would accept me. 

I was actually surprised: Not only did they accept me, it literally took less than 24 hours. They said that an application normally takes up to a month, sometimes even longer, so I was expecting it to take a few weeks at least. 
I'm actually currently living in a hotel and will probably only move in my new apartment next month, so this caught me a bit off-guard.

Don't worry, I won't put 25 ads over my videos now, in fact I won't put any ads at all on my videos.
However, I've activated the Channel membership and the "super thanks" function. If you want to, you can now donate some money to me through the comments; and you can also join my channel as a paid member. 

There will be only one tier, a 5$ one, offering the same benefits as my 5$ Patreon tier; that is mainly access to one additional video per month.

As I've been running my Patreon for some time now, there are already quite a lot of videos on there, so if you join now, you'll get access to these videos as well- 26 in total.

This includes a lot of super interesting videos, such as footage from Rommel's funeral, from the paratrooper landings on Crete in 1941, footage from a German supply U-Boat operating in the Atlantic, a propaganda film about the Legion Condor in Spain and many more!

So if you have a few bucks to spare, I'd greatly appreciate some financial support.

However, let me be very clear that nothing will change: I will still upload one video every weekend, and there will be one extra video per month for Patreon/Channel members, but other than that, all the content on my channel will continue to be free for everyone, and I won't put annoying adds over my videos.

If you don't want to donate for whatever reason, please don't feel pressured to do, I don't expect anyone to and I'm not gonna be angry at you if you don't. I appreciate you all and wish you all the best, with or without donations! 


That's all for today, I wish you all a good week ahead!

Hey everyone,
I hope you are all doing well.

While I normally don't talk much about myself on this channel, simply because this channel isn't really about me, I will share a quick personal update today. 

I just received the notification that I’ve passed my master’s degree. My thesis was accepted, and I completed all required coursework and earned the necessary credits.
While I haven’t officially graduated yet (this will happen in late March), I now have the official results.

I had already made sure that I fulfilled all the requirements a long time ago, but I was still anxious about it, so I’m pretty relieved now.

In order to "celebrate" this, I will release this weekends video a bit earlier, namely in a few hours.

That is all for today, I hope you have a great day and a great weekend!

"German Volunteers in Spain", a German propaganda film about the activties of the Legion Condor during the Spanish Civil War, is now avaliable on Patreon!

Featuring footage of various early German weapon systems, such as the Heinkel He 111, Dornier Do 17, and the Panzer I,  it offers a rather interesting look at the first time the Wehrmacht found itself fighting in an actual war.

The film also shows Spanish Nationalist forces being trained by German instructors in the use of small arms, artillery, and even tanks- including both German Panzer I vehicles and conveniently captured Soviet T-26s.

So, if this sort of footage happens to interest you, you have five dollars to spare, and you feel like supporting the channel, feel free to take a look at my Patreon!
It would, unsurprisingly, help the channel:
