Sam Wilkes (AKA Zoomer Historian) is a historical revisionist and former YouTuber best known for promoting a Nazi-apologist version of WWII history to his 270,000 subscribers on the platform. However, his monetised YouTube account was suspended for hate speech in November 2025.

Wilkes’ YouTube channel was originally devoted to gaming videos, 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”. 

2025 posed significant challenges for Wilkes; in March 2025, HOPE not hate exposed his identity as the owner of the channel, while his deplatforming by Patreon in February and YouTube in November caused a considerable disruption to his income.

Wilkes was also an enthusiastic and prominent activist of the Homeland Party, but in April 2025 an acrimonious and long-running dispute over the direction of the party saw Wilkes, fellow influencer Steve Laws and many others quit and become severe critics of the party.

Since leaving Homeland, his rhetoric has only become more extreme and openly pro-Nazi. He is closely aligned with Laws’s new project Remigration Now and its central tenet of “total remigration”, or the ethnic cleansing of all non-whites from the UK.
