Thank you Michael Fanone. For those who do not recognize the name, Michael is one of the officers who defended America on January 6th and was left permanently injured as a result. He is a true hero of our Democracy.

The secret German weather station on the Arctic island of Svalbard. Part of the 'Weather War'.
The team, led by Lieutenant Wilhelm Dege, were the last German troops to surrender in WW2, finally doing so FOUR MONTHS after Germany had officially surrendered.

Today we have a brand new episode of Kingdom: Swedish Rulers for you!
This time we look into the life of Magnus I, a king who spent more of his time and energy focusing on his father's rule down in Denmark. But what will this mean for him when we come to judging him?
