And no seeing a Asian in a German uniform is not a mistake, Kiautschou Bay and Shandong were German territories and some Chinese did wear the German uniforms, as servants soldiers and serving officers.
Such a well-made video, crafted with love and attention to detail. Bravo! I highly enjoyed it. It was fun, though, to hear you butchering pretty much all of the German words. 😅
Really cool video, although by the name of the recipes these seem to be more modern versions made after the ottoman conquest. The whole dish is called Yuvarlakia. Wonder if you have some byzantine books that talk about these recipies and what was called then
Nobody cooking up the "field protein"? Soylent Green aka Corpse Starch? Waste of good resources. Also, Mustard Gas is made from mustard, right? That's just seasoning...
NICE! As a reenactor, I've been fascinated with what's come out over the 100th anniversary of War One, but I'd definitely like to see more German, AH, Italian, and Russian stuff.
There are some tutorials on how to make it, a current one is by "Mark Young" a Canadian bushcrafter and all-round good egg. Worth a watch, it's very, very easy to make. Well worth swinging by his channel. He also makes Pemmican (ancient Indian iron ration, lasts literally centuries).
Up until the end of the war, Germany still had a colonial Empire that had holdings overseas, These treaty ports were German concessions in China, leased to it by the Qing dynasty that included: - Kiautschou Bay concession, 1898 to 1914 - German concession in Tientsin, 1895 to 1917 - German concession in Hankou, 1895 to 1917 - Chefoo, 1901 to 1914 I cannot find the number on how many Asian colonial German troops served in WW1 however, here are some link to primary sources of photographs of at least 2 Asians serving in the German/Pussian military in the European theater gmic.co.uk/topic/41863-asians-serving-in-the-german-army/ and a forum discussion on more pictures of Asians serving in the Prussian military: gmic.co.uk/topic/78058-asian-in-german-service/ I hope that helps with your curiosity? Thanks for enjoying the Video!
Thank you for your kind words. Alot of work went to this pilot episode that we learnt a great deal. Hopefully as we are self funded from our own pockets for now that we can do more better quality vids in the near future! Regards, Pete

Why is it measured in cups? 🤔Romans did not measure in cups, and if this was done for the American audience, surely metric measurements could be added for the rest of the world? So silly how Americans think a system only they use must be better than the system used by literally almost all of the rest of the world.. Other than that, great video on a great subject
Hi, thank you for looking at our vid. No, Romans did not measure in cups, hence why we modernised our measurements for our current audience however, by the off chance Romans are watching our channel, I have edited the recipe to Ancient Roman units of measurements: - 1 Cyathus of Semolina - 1 Ligula Honey - 1 Cyathus of sultanas or dried mixed fruit - 1 Acetabulum of drinking water - 1 Acetabulum Cup of Milk - a pinch of salt to taste - if desired, a pinch of Cinnamon has been another joy to flavour the dish! Yes, Most households here in Australian kitchens still have old units of measurements especially for baking that cups are still used. This happens to be in American imperial units which also suits our audience across the Pacific. When I cook this recipe out in camp, having 1x 1/3 cup in my kit is more convenient for no nonsense measuring than doing it in metric. In fairness I have updated the description for those who love the metric system (I also personally use both units of measurements depending in what scenario I need to use them for!) All the best, Pete
Hi Amadeus Pawlik, Thank you for your question. yes Tobacco was part of the rations of the German/Bavarian/ Prussian armies in that time period. the producer was worried about youtube's demonetisation for promoting smoking that we decided to leave this bit of information out but for you, I'll leave you with this information about it from our HCA research notes for this vid, ENJOY! "Zigarren und Zigaretten" ""Heer und Flotte" (Army and Navy) packs of Cigarettes and Cigars which were issued to all German Armed Forces from the 1880's forward normally as part of daily or frequent rations, in an effort to standardize supplies. Cigars (based on size and manufacturer) were packaged in boxes containing between 3 and 10, while cigarettes initially came in 20's, but as the war progressed, were reduced to issue packs of 4, 5 or 10. Tobacco products were used as an unofficial form of currency in the field." (Photo & info source: 17thdivision.tripod.com/charlottesaxisattic/id14.html )
yes, I could not help myself... the producer allowed it only because the film set and actor extras packed up and already left before he wanted to do a second take! lol
Hi Billy, "What was the use of opium in ww1? Sedative drugs such as alcohol, morphine, and opium helped to subdue the physical and emotional pain, relax, and alleviate the horrors of combat. Stimulants, such as cocaine and alcohol (but in small amounts), enabled men to keep going and get through everyday life at the front. this was normally used as a medicinal application and not recreational use" Opium was not known to be used for smoking in Europe during WW1 Our Character Danny was smoking a tobacco pipe that was poplar in Northern Europe during the late 19th and early 20th century. I hope you enjoyed the vid!
Technically you are correct: a fighting force of a of a Roman Century is 80 men without the command staff (Tesserarius, Optio, and Centurion) however, logistically speaking, when taking head count, the Centurion reported to the camp commander called a "Praefectus Castrorum" (Camp Prefect). It was important to included the number of people under the Centurion's command including the Contubernium slaves/helpers. Each Century had approximately 20 of these slaves that also needed to eat! According to the RU-vid Channel Invicta: "True Size of a Roman Legion (3D) DOCUMENTARY" they research that each full Legion (standard of 5,559 fighting men) would have approximately 1,580 slaves! Camp Prefect job was to order the food needed to feed EVERY soul of the Legion under his command. This would be problematic if he only ordered for the fighting numbers and not the slaves/helpers... the Prefect would be short of ordering each day of nearly 1.6 Metric Tonnes of Wheat/Barley alone if the each Centurion did not report the correct numbers! This mistake by many historians has for many years that a Centurion was only in command of around 80 when in truth, it was a little over 100 when you had to includes the logistics for food/water rations, even the mule/donkey in each Contubernium needed to eat! I hope this short explanation helped you why I stated this fact on the video. Thank you for your comment!
Yes, Danny (Smoking, sitting Soldier in the video) personally owns a Lüttje Lage set!" I also have read Ernst Jünger's book "Storm of Steel" have you? Wishing you a Happy New Year from the HCA team!
Hi Henry, Thank you for your support as you can imagine this was our biggest effort to a video to date! Hopefully we can keep continuing to make more vids when the team are available from their normal working lives and family. Have a happy new year from the HCA team!
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) "This article is about the German card game. For the American game sometimes called Scat, see Thirty-one (card game). Skat (German pronunciation: [ˈskaːt][a]), historically Scat, is a three-player trick-taking card game of the Ace-Ten family, devised around 1810 in Altenburg in the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg. It is the national game of Germany[1] and, along with Doppelkopf, it is the most popular card game in Germany and Silesia and one of the most popular in the rest of Poland. A variant of 19th-century Skat was once popular in the US. John McLeod considers it one of the best and most interesting card games for three players,[1][2] and Kelbet described it as "the king of German card games." I been playing "31" for 7 years in another club, I did not know the German equivalent "Scat" till a few years ago while researching to build this kit for a public display! We normally keep our bets to 20 cents a game to keep the friendship among players!
My brother in christ, if you twist the leg wrap it will make it stay in place, and look nicer. Basically, wrap it normally, but when you get to the inside of your leg give it a twist. There's videos on RU-vid that show how to do it. Changes your life like Metamucil, toe socks, and breath rite strips
Hi, yes you are right, unfortunately the leg wraps came in the mail a week before filming, and were too short to do the twist leg wrap technique, and I did not notice them unwrapping till the end of filming. hopefully when this channel can make a small income in the future, we can re-invest to improve our video content. thanks for watching!
@historicalcookingadventure4721 Hey, don't get me wrong, I love what you're doing, and no one else is doing it like yall, and I look forward to everything yall are gonna do in the future. I just read my comment again, and it comes off pretty sassy. That wasn't my intention.
Hi Tyler, Your comment was fine, any input/comments helps and encourages us towards making better videos in the future. Thank you for your support. Wishing you a happy new year from the HCA team!
I have been eating it on and off for breakfast, and its nice during the colder months of the year for over 5 years, some of the HCA now cook this at home for themselves since I shown them how easy it is to make. recipe in the description!
I am very interested in Napoleonic Era re-enactment and I was just wondering of the 73rd and 95th were still active and if so, where are they based and how would one go about joining?
Hi, Thank you for your question, further details in the video description. just in case, contact details: 95th Rifles Australia. (Most members based in Victoria however, have members in Canberra, and Sydney) facebook.com/groups/1502185230021307 73rd Regiment of foot Australia. (Most members based in Sydney NSW however, have members in Queensland, Canberra and Victoria) facebook.com/73rd.Regiment
Thoroughly enjoyed the cooking lesson, but methinks the porridge needed a bit less milk & honey and far more salt & blood. Superb detailing of the legionary encampment (although I question the authenticity of the fortifications shown at the 11 minute mark). +1 sub. Ps ‘hug a candle, hump a tree’.
"...more salt & blood?" you might be thinking of the Spartan pork blood stew "Melas Zomos?" Thanks for subscribing, hopefully in future we can invest more into the channel to make better content!!! ‘hug a candle, hump a tree’ lol, I'd rather not. cooking is wwwaaayyy easier!!!
Excellent video. I will interested to see what other content this content maker comes up with. Technical point - I suggest the camera operator pay a little more attention to where their shadow falls while filming. It was crossing the cebntre of the actiopn a few times during the course of the film.
