Hi! I'm Oscar and I created House of History as a passion project back in 2018. The channel has evolved significantly since then, and nowadays we create smooth, manually animated, research-driven documentaries covering everything from the wars of the Ancient World to World War 2. Every map and battle sequence is manually animated. Business inquiries: [email protected] Personal e-mail: [email protected]

Video Description

On the last day of 1942, German surface ships launched a surprise attack on Allied convoy JW-51B heading to the Soviet Union. Outgunned and under pressure, the British escort force faced the challenge of protecting dozens of supply ships, while at danger of becoming stuck in a pincer movement by the heavy cruisers Admiral Hipper and Lützow. Every video on House of History is hand-animated from scratch.
