This is Jocko podcast number 485 with Carrie Helton and me Jocko Willink.

Good evening, Carrie.

Good evening.

So I stumbled across a document, we'll say.

We could call it a book.

the primary reason that the Germans were called Huns have you heard the Germans called

Hans before yes yeah okay so it's the the actual Huns before? Yes. Yeah. Okay. So it's the actual Huns themselves were an ancient nomadic people that lived in

Central Asia, the Caucasus and Eastern Europe in the fourth and fifth centuries.
