🔴 📖 **Hitler’s People: The Faces of the Third Reich**

"_Evans devotes an incisive chapter to each of the rogues’ gallery of Göring, Goebbels, Himmler, von Ribbentrop and to notorious antisemites such as Ley, Streicher and Heydrich. It is however even more interesting to read about lesser figures who portrayed themselves after 1945 as honourable, principled and patriotic and far from being deranged and perverted._"

🔴 **Historical and archaeogenomic identification of high-status Englishmen at Jamestown, Virginia**

"_Genomic analyses of the skeletons identify unexpected maternal relatedness as both carried the mitochondrial haplogroup H10e. In this unusual case, aDNA prompted further historical research that led to the discovery of illegitimacy in the West family, an aspect of identity omitted, likely intentionally, from genealogical records._"

🔴 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 **How the English Named New England**

_Explorer John Smith named New England. He sailed to the coast of what was then called Northern Virginia from Chesapeake Bay. Smith mapped it, using his version of Indian names, but he didn’t like Northern Virginia. He didn’t like the other names people had called it either, like Norumbega, Nuskoncus, Penaquida and Canada._

_Smith hit on “New England” and wrote a book about his travels there, with a map. The book sold well. Six years later, King James granted the land in a charter in which he wrote, “The name shall be called by the name New England in America.”_

"_The combination of mythological arrival and conquest annals with the strategic inclusion of genealogies allow the annals as a whole to present all the kingdoms and sub-kingdoms of Britannia as important members of a larger family. They show the supremacy of the Germanic incomers over the native Britons, and they focus on the House of Wessex almost from the outset, showing the West Saxons to be the natural leaders of this group._"
