I searched for more info like I always do after laughting at his videos to know more about the event. From a french point of view the Smithsonian museum seems to have a good reputation so I chose that article to share but the 1795's Battle of Texel seems to be very well documented.
And after all let be honest: France military history is full of NCD materials since it seems that we loved doing things the wrong way and makes it work nonetheless 🤣
