Tunnel and mining warfare was an important part of World War 1, especially on the Western Front and to a lesser, but still deadly, degree on the Italian Front. The dangers for the tunnelers were immense. And the destruction they caused with explosions was too.

@baldrickthedungspreader3107
@baldrickthedungspreader3107 3 года назад
I would say that the western front was technically the modern version of a siege, a siege that lasted 4 long years spanning from the Netherlands to Switzerland. Like in the sieges of years passed it involved artillery, defence networks sapping, and brutal melee combat, the only new thing was the edition of smokeless powdered rifles and machine guns in which you could say formed an impassable wall of bullets and despite the latest modern editions of poison gas, aircraft and rudimentary tanks, the siege was essentially won by starving out the enemy, the royal navy’s blockade of Germany was depleting Germany’s war effort, so the British were like the attackers in an ancient siege that they had to starve out the enemy. So trench warfare is no different from a siege in ancient times really except on a much larger scale and fought with modern weaponry

They also left the two guys to rest and left them in the same position they were when they got killed. Rest in Peace fellas Rest in Peace

Hi Indiana. I wonder if you can make a special episode about the "ice city", or other uniqe fortifications during the great war. On Marmolada, the highest mountain in the Dolomites, the Austrian Corps of Engineers built an entire "ice dity" -a complex of tunnels, dormitories, and storerooms dug out of the bowels of the glacier. Would love to know if you could cover this in the future. Best reagrds from Norway.

I remember as a kid, reading about a flying ace, i believe it was Albert Ball, who originally set out to be a tunneling officer. He plannec to "dig under 'em and blow 'em up" as he said. You find interesting things at school book fairs. This was in a book about WW1 aces including von Richthofen, Ball, Georges Guynemere, Rickenbacher, and 1 or 2 others i can't remember. I also had a book on Old West lawmen. Wish i still had it too. However, i do still have Theodore Taylor's "The Battle off Midway Island" [4th grade i think], which helped spark my interest in history, and a paper airplane book

One of my grandpas was a vietnam vet and the day I think I earned his respect was the day I showed him I could use a shovel. His house was flooding during the summer and my family was there for summer vacation. He lived on the side of a small mountain in the ozarks and the french drain had clogged and deformed so water was pooling on the uphill side of the house. I got woken from a dead sleep, was told what was going on and ran outside to help dig during the thunderstorm. Grandpa had to rest a lot and when he did I could feel him watching me dig, at one point with my bare hands. He looked really troubled, and proud. It was weird, but even as a teenager I knew he was seeing me and also lots of other scared kids frantically digging in a rainstorm in a forest. It still matters to soldiers now, being able to sling a shovel. It can make the difference and I think my jumping up and diving in the way I did made an impression on the man that i had never managed to make before. Dont underestimate the power of a shovel

I have a question for 'Out of the Trenches'. ... Hi Indy and team, great show! Could you tell me about interrogation during WW1, how it differed between nations and if any nations actually tortured captured spies or officers? Thanks! :)

Hey Indy and Team, got a question: Didn´t soldiers sweat a lot, especially in the summer or in Gallipoli e.g.? Today they got Goretex and stuff like that but back then there was no such thing i guess? Love the show, keep up the great work!

I was born in the Transvaal where John Norton-Griffiths managed the gold mine :D. Never thought a place close to me would be mentioned in any of the videos.

Beneath Hill 60 is a fantastic film about Australian diggers during WWI, highly recommended.
