My brother teaches this, and he's a real history buff, especially World War II and Hitler's Third Reich. Now I find a lot of it fascinating myself, but not to the same extent. In high school, it was a subject that I dealt with, but I didn't exactly flourish at it. It really depended on the teacher. If you had someone who didn't know how to teach it, it could be deadly dull, which was usually the case with my teachers.
