Unredacted: World Wars

The First and Second World Wars as one continuous catastrophe, taught from the record. Unredacted: World Wars is a four-year curriculum covering 1914 to 1945: 100 lessons from the imperial order that produced the first war to the trials, expulsions and statutes that followed the second. It is a global history. The Eastern Front is not a subplot, the war in China begins in 1937 rather than 1941, and the colonial half of both wars is taught as part of the war rather than as a footnote to it: the Carrier Corps, the tirailleurs, the Chinese Labour Corps, the Indian Army, Thiaroye, Bengal, the Romusha of Java, Korea's mobilisation. It does not leave out the crimes. The Herero and Nama genocide. The Armenian genocide and the Assyrian and Greek killings. The Stavka deportations, Ober Ost and occupied Belgium, the Mount Lebanon and Persian famines. The Holocaust across three courses. The Hunger Plan and the Soviet prisoners. Nanjing, Unit 731 and the comfort-station system. Katyn and the deportation of nations. Bengal. The reprisal massacres, and the expulsions of 1945 to 1949. WHAT IS INSIDE 100 lessons across four years, each 15 to 25 minutes, with on-device narration 81 profiles: commanders and clerks, colonial soldiers and conscripted labourers, the people who kept records under occupation, and the officials who signed the orders 771 glossary terms, cross-linked to the lessons that use them 20 quizzes with worked explanations for every answer 18 documented episodes, each one listing the record it rests on Spaced repetition that schedules the terms you keep forgetting Bookmarks and notes on any lesson, profile or term Three Home Screen widgets: a quote, a term and a figure, each changing daily HOW IT TEACHES The standard is documentation. Every atrocity here is one the record establishes, and each Case File lists what it rests on: the Hofle Telegram, the Jager Report, Ottoman interior ministry telegrams, Reiss's forensic reports, War Cabinet minutes, trial transcripts, and archives buried under ghettos by the people they were written about. Where the numbers are contested, the lesson gives the range and names who holds each position rather than picking one. Where a familiar quotation turns out to be invented, the app says so and quotes the real one instead. FREE AND PAID The first ten lessons are free. One purchase of $9.99 unlocks the remaining 90 and everything else, permanently. There is no subscription, there are no ads, and there is no account to create. Family Sharing is supported. EVERY CLAIM IS SOURCED Each lesson ends with its primary sources and further reading. Every glossary term, researcher profile and classic study shows the published work behind it, and the full bibliography is one tap away in the Library. None of the sources are behind the unlock. OFFLINE BY DESIGN The app makes no network connections of its own. Every lesson, profile, glossary entry, quiz and case study is bundled in the download, so the whole course works in airplane mode. Nothing you read or write here leaves your device. Tapping a citation is the one exception: that opens the reference in your browser.
