Sam Wilkes (AKA Zoomer Historian) is a YouTuber and historical revisionist who advances a Nazi-apologist version of WWII history to his 171,000 subscribers. He is also a key online propagandist for the fascist Homeland Party.
Wilkes’ YouTube channel was originally devoted to videos about computer games, through which he amassed a sizable 40,000 subscribers by 2019. After a period of dormancy, however, he renamed the account “Zoomer Historian” in March 2023 and began producing Hitler apologist videos with titles like “How Winston Churchill Started WW2” and “World War 2 Was Not Worth Fighting”.
When not defending Hitler on YouTube, the “Zoomer Historian” relentlessly promotes the fascist Homeland Party, a splinter group of the neo-Nazi Patriotic Alternative, to his 57,000 following on X/Twitter. He also uses the platform to make frequent calls for the mass deportation of ethnic minorities and harass non-white users of the platform.
