The History Guy: History Deserves to Be Remembered is a YouTube channel with a variety of interesting historical videos that you can just listen to.

This one is about the 1980 B-52 Fire at Grand Forks AFB, North Dakota and includes interesting information about the B-52 bomber.

SM U-156 and the Battle of Orleans

The one time in WWI the US itself was attacked.

"A "merchant submarine" ends up commencing the only attack on the contiguous United States by the Central Powers of the First World War."

They should have included the one time a part of the USA was occupied, some of the Aleutian Islands.

"The Japanese occupation of Kiska took place between 6 June 1942 and 28 July 1943 during the Aleutian Islands Campaign of the American Theater and the Pacific Theater of World War II. The Japanese occupied Kiska and nearby Attu Island in order to protect the northern flank of the Japanese Empire"
