History, the story of us, is something that's often discussed but is sometimes misunderstood. From the charging of Normandy, to the Fall of Rome, everyone is aware of these life changing events from years past. But what of forgotten leaders who watched cities burn, or century long wars over a bucket? What about the strange history? In this podcast, we discuss the parts of history that you might not have heard about in school; from knights of the skies to bridges and encounters with the unknown, join us as we discuss the strange, weird things, that make us, us.

War! Trench Warfare in WWI was a harsh thing, but that's only a small bit of the subject for today's episode. We are going to be covering the rise and fall of the 369th Infantry, also known as the Harlem Hellfighters. This unit of all African American soldiers would make waves through the war, and would go on to have several highly decorated soldiers, and this episode will be focusing on two of them. Learn about the power of friendship, hear about how much endurance the abnormal man has, and hear about how hard racism affected even war heros.

What does a pilot, his plane, the CIA, the KGB, and U2 (you'll get it) have in common? Well, lots, actually. The United States wanted spy planes, the CIA wanted fancy cameras and information, and the KGB had secret ways to shoot down planes, and eventually everything fell apart. You'll learn about a famous pilot, his capture by the Soviet Union, and about a secret plane that almost sparked a whole war. You'll also hear a lot about Lee Harvey Oswald, and Brad tries to get us placed on a government watch list! Planning a vacation? Love the Cold War episodes we've done and need more?

Are you fascinated by history? Charmed by the likes of The 300, The Titanic, or the Fall of Rome? Or do you prefer The Battle of Castle Itter, the Golden Age of Piracy, or are you curious about how a group of farmers held their own against a whole government? Strange For History will cover all of this, the normal side we all know, and the curious and strange things, with unforseen effects that will make you even more curious as to our story than before.
