Before you pick the video recording device, be sure to set up your budget. Tripod lighting microphones video editor computer upgrade (at the very least, you'll probably need an external hard drive, but RAM and CPU upgrades may be needed) And rather than using devices designed to capture still images that happen to capture video as a convenience feature, use of a device designed to capture video - like a camcorder - may be the better option. I've done "tutorials" for YouTube with my Sony HDR-AX2000, Sennheiser wireless lavaliere with portable base station, Davis & Sanford tripod, LightPanels LED lighting on stands... and edit on my iMacs using FinalCut Pro.
If you want to post a quality product, just because you post to YouTube does not mean you get to cut corners.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
