Human conflict, while abhorrent in nature, inspires tremendous acts of bravery and selflessness from those that participate. There are countless stories from history that never get told. We attempt to bring some of these lesser known heroes to light. We focus on World War 1, World War 2, and many of the conflicts and wars from then to now.
We hope you enjoy these interesting and inspiring stories from history that you may not have heard before.
She was an amazing woman as all the S O E were totally selfless How sad she lived her latter years alone And died Unknown Luckily when her medals were found and it was realized who she was she was given a heroes send off Much love to her ❤ 6:41
The mod. 1896 Winchester could be slammed fired by holding the trigger down and the gun fire when the slide was closed. It was a very effective way to clear an enemy trench. For some reason, I have always wanted to own one.
I owned a Winchester 97 pump made in 1923. Think it might of been made for a prison guard. Had a 21" barrel and was a takedown version I dug it. Worked nice at our town dump. I could just hold the trigger down and pump it to fire rounds until empty. Think the tube held 6. Steel butt plate nice walnut and always worked. 1897 12ga.
That last comment made me laugh. I had to replay it to see if I had heard it right. The idea that the johnny-come-lately Americans had that kind of impact on the German armies, rather than the impact of the Indians, Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders, French and Brits and others who had fought right through the war is risible. Only one eyed Americans could take the view expressed at the end of this video. The kind of thing the loser clown Trump might say...
@@enovos3138 I suppose it was a touch gratuitous, but I do wonder how much Americans realise how much they are being increasingly viewed with scorn and contempt because of how they enable people like him and others like Bobert and MTG. Once it was only Palin making fools of the US of A, but now it is open season.
Wait, could you really slam fire this thing? I mean I know you can use the recoil to help pump the gun, but he said you can hold the trigger down and use the pump to fire. Is that true? I haven’t shot that particular model but I don’t understand the mechanics behind it if true.
Huge misconception here in the comments. The Germans werent using gas for warfare,per se. it was used against the Jews, guys. Also, we used flamethrowers as well. The video nails it. Mentioning the treaties against arms meant to cause unnecessary damage. You guys can meme quotes all day but history gets lost because yall misconstrue it.
I found a video debunking the effectiveness of the trench sweeper and basically describing it as propaganda but I can’t find it again. It was pretty interesting cuz every other video on the shot gun has always had the opposite pov
Germany also complained about the .303 ammunition used by the British and Commonwealth troops claiming that it was inhumane due to its Spitzer design causing appalling wounds.
I live close to the gothic line in italy.. during the siege of germans positions americans used incendiary bombs and incendiary ammos. It is reported that they killed wounded german soldiers on site and took few prisoners. These incendiary bombs killed dozens of civilians when bombs fell on houses.
I also thought it was protested because of exposed lead, and lead poisoning. Also, I question the penetration of a 2” plank at 150yds as reported.. This is not likely at 60 yds with oo at 1200fps.
Imagine you are german shocktrooper equip only with a slow reloading single shot weapon trying to defend against americans who are equipped with shotguns and repeaters.😂
