    I still remember that difficult decision you made to go on with this channel instead of returning to Disney. Your instincts were spot on. Congratulations
  • @olgathehandmaid
    I usually get so wrapped up in his history lessons, that I completely forget he's cooking food. "Oh yes, right, the PEARS!"
  • @marckunke3689
    Since you asked about whether this episode was available in Germany: It is. Yes the display of Nazi symbols is not allowed in Germany except for reasons of historical accuracy. And no one can deny that's the main goal of your channel. Keep up the good work! I hope for many more interesting videos from you!
  • @ROMANTIKILLER2
    I must admit that I was shocked to learn that somehow around 2/3 of the people aboard the Hindenburg managed to survive: looking at the pictures and video of that horrifying incident, I had always assumed there must have been hardly any survivors. As for the channel hitting the 2M mark, well, this is just a great show: a likeable host putting out nicely produced content, with an entertaining yet informative take on both history and cooking a wide array of stuff. Can anyone ask for more?
  • @pepper6174
    i’d heard people quoting “oh the humanity” my whole life, but i could never have imagined how heartbreaking the actual transmission was
  • @ohariana3150
    Escoffier having 12 recipes for 1 dish is the most Escoffier thing ever🍐👨‍🍳
  • @TheShannie33
    The one-napkin thing is so strange, especially considering the luxuries they opted to include that seem slightly unnecessary when compared to napkins.
  • @Shantari
    11:34 Oh man, that obvious fire safety detail of only one person being able to enter or leave at the same time made me think that you could probably write a great crime mystery taking place here.
  • @hexmaniacwingy
    An interesting footnote - 8 year old Werner, who was chucked out of the airship while on fire, was the last survivor of the Hindenburg, only passing away relatively recently in 2019. He only ever spoke about the disaster in 2017, 80 years after it happened.
  • @xtantanxplayz
    Interesting how no one talks about Max, a steward, who makes excellent cocktails and watches everyone like a hawk. On that note, we'd like more episodes on Drinking History.
  • @nessavee2205
    It's not food history in itself that has "taken off". It is YOU, bringing us food history in your delightfully fun and eloquent way, that has gained you so many subscribers. Thank you Max. Like a great, memorable teacher; you make learning fun.
  • @yonah6632
    Wow, such an emotional episode. You were clearly upset about the tragedy of it all. Just shows how much you really care. The world needs more people like you Max.
  • The fact that Herbert Morrison was able to somewhat keep talking and doing his job through what is clearly the most traumatic thing he's ever experienced is some crazy professionalism.
  • @mayg9933
    My great uncle was one of the cabine crew, one of the night srewards, on the day of the Desaster. Gladly he only broke his leg and survived! His telegram wich simply said I’m well was probably the biggest relief ever for his family. He is in quite a few of the advertisement pictures for the Hindenburg. He was one of the man who put our the fire on Irenes clothes and accompanied her brothers Walter and Werner to the ambulance! It’s so great to hear you cover a story that is so close to my family!
  • @arnbrandy
    One thing that surprised me were the pictures from inside the Hindenburg. Those looked like a way more modern space, something from the 70s! And a fully electric kitchen is kind of futuristic even today. Anyway, this is one of your best episodes, which is hard given how awesomely perfect every one is. Thank you for your great work!
  • @Debaser1990
    I remember my mind being absolutely blown when I discovered later in life that the majority of passengers survived having seen the footage in World History as a kid.
  • @aimeemorgado8715
    As a historian, educator, and artist I admire you and Jose for all you do to create each video. I think the way you emphasize primary sources, while securing your history in a cultural landscape and time is what most history educators forget to do. I’d give extra credit to students for watching and analyzing one of your videos! Just brilliant!
  • @Alex-vf3io
    My entire family can sit down together and watch your show without anyone wanting to turn something else on. That sir is magic. Congrats on 2 million!
  • @SeventhGate008
    To say this episode is a masterpiece is a massive understatement. It’s so genuine, and the focus and importance is placed perfectly throughout. Thank you for all of the work you put in
