Nice

cool video keep it up

No

What about the eastern front ww2

Alive but not the same. It is said innocence died with WW1.

All Quiet on the Western Front

​@@azimisyauqieabdulwahab9401 that movie left me scared it's considered the greatest anti-war movie of all time rn

@@KurdGamerMC No one cares about the Eastern Front but the nations whose land was fought over. It's sad, really, because more people died on that front than in the west. I find it to be much more interesting because unlike in France, trench warfare wasn't realy a staple of militry fare. All that room to maneuver meant that you couldn't man the whole frontier, now while fighting what was essentially a four front war for Germany and the rest of their allies likewise fighting two fronts at least.

Don't forget your stick, Lieutenant.

Oh no, sir - wouldn’t want to face a machine gun without this!

Well they wont expect it a 17th time then

Baldrick: I have a plan, sir. Blackadder: Really, Baldrick? A cunning and subtle one? Baldrick: Yes, sir. Blackadder: As cunning as a fox who's just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University?

​​​@@simonrice5748 Baldrick : Yes Sir! British Officer in the Background : "On the Signal! Company will advance!" Blackadder : ""Well I'm afraid it'll have to wait. Whatever it was it was probably better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean who would notice another madman around here?"

I recently finished that book. It was without a doubt one of the greatest books I've ever read.

@@Tuinhulkvdb028 ?

​@@Tuinhulkvdb028 what?

Same

Same people just assume that it was just a simple line but they where much more complex

Started in the civil war and quickly made its way to Europe, savagery

Same also

​@@Abav724I'm pretty sure trenches have been use even before the us civil war. Example during the medieval period trenches were use during long sieges

Hello again Heisenberg, we watch the same videos! To reply to your original comment, yeah it’s pretty funny that even after all the memes & ytp’s, it’s still going hard! I’ve still never fucking played it but oh well.

Who was he talking to

@@THEROOKIE6666 he was an author. He was the guy who made lord of the rings.

@@liamgavinwells he was talking to George RR Martin. Not in real life but a depiction. It was from ERB

@@THEROOKIE6666 he did fought the war, he was an officer during the battle. He was in the 11th Battalion

@@corymorimacori1059 Oh. That makes more sense. I was thinking this was an actual quote from him

partially so, but not entirely so

The harshness of the treaty of Versail can't be pinned down to one aspect alone. This is definitely one of them tho. The German army committed a lot of atrocities against the Belgiums and French and those the countries are the ones who are the most directly effected as most fighting took place on French and Belgium soil. Another reason is the rivalry between Germany and France. Germans hated the French due to the Napoleonic occupation and French hated the Germans due to the humiliating quick loss in the Franco-German war (or German unification war as it is called in Germany). Another big reason is the ideological side of things. The First world war was democracies against autocratisies. The proclamation of self determination was put at a display by the allies in form of the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian and Ottom empires as well as territorial concessions by the Germans to a independent Polish state as well foreign majority boarder territories. So they basically tried to make an example out of Germany. The devastating nature of the western front was probably the reason for the incredibly harsh military restrictions so Germany couldn't inflict such horrors ever again. Wich didn't work that well. I think at the end it's most important that we never forget the horrors of the wars so that we can be better than the people back then. We are all Europeans after all and talking to each other is way more pleasant than murdering us over some people's empty promises of pride and glory. May Europe be united in peace one day 🇪🇺 Have a wonderful week my friend.

​@@derdude6214 May it be united? Isn't it already? Sure there are some scuffles and tensions, but at least nobody is killing each other in Europe anymore.

@@justalpha9138 Albania, Serbia, Norway, Scotland, England, Wales, Russia, Northern Ireland, Kosovo, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegowina, Turkey, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Ukraine, Belarus, Andorra, San Marino and Switzerland (and some more depending on how far you want to stretch the geographic term "Europe") are still missing. We have come a far way but we are not finished yet. Once Europe is united as a functioning democratic state (without crippling veto rights) then we are at the end. The Parliament finally needs real legislative powers so the Union is free to evolve. But you are right it is wonderful that we come to our senses in that we don't kill each other in the current EU states but the last year and a half have shown that unfortunately not everyone in Europe went through that change in mind.

@@derdude6214 The good news however is that nowadays the majority of people understand that war should be nothing but a last resort, because it amounts to practically nothing. Only the most foolhardy nowadays beg for it. Back during WW1 however, nobody understood what going to war really meant until the casualties came in.

The 100 days Offensive while in some places very innovative (mainly logistics and troop positioning) in the end succeeded by bruteforcing through the German lines which were very weakened by the Spanish Flu and the soldiers were demoralized after the German offensives of the spring failed.

​@@bingobongo1615 did the entete armies adopted the german assault tactic?

The only defrnsive depth for a Mobik is what he can scrape out with his hands and helmet.

​​@@terraflow__bryanburdo4547 bruh, *looks at pillbox line in the eastern bank of the Dnipro* you sure about that?

@@OLDMANWAFFLES Russian electronic warfare downing 330+ Ukrainian drones be like :- "He sure be underestimating me. let him be"

they were tactical hands.

Precisely what brought me here :D

What's the name off the manga?

@@bosslikeryt651 i dont have a settle name for it so for now i just call it Code Sino

@@Captain23rdGaming sounds really interesting

@@bosslikeryt651 why thank you i greaty do appreciate it 😄 it does pick up even more so as this is a sort of Desilpunk art deco way im going about it 😄 Defently a high fantasy meets early Modern era

Thats why some armies say that Artillery is the "King of the battle".

80% of casualties. Who would consider it obsolete?

If you are talking about in the US about world war 2, I have to strongly disagree in terms of what is taught in grades 6-12 and part of the “National identity.” World War 2 is still part of living memory for a few and many Americans have family members that have served. It is so monumental to shaping the geopolitics of today that it is far from underrated or forgotten. WW1 from the American perspective is more understandable in terms of being forgotten. But it is a continuation of centuries of geopolitics starting from the start of colonialism up to 1914. In the US, I argue the Korean War is the most underrated. It isn’t taught well and its importance isn’t understood by many.

As a German M.A. of History i must say that World War I was an absolute catastrophe for Europe. Millions of People died. Gargantuan ammounts of money and ressources were wasted. Four centuries old dynastic monarchies were beaten down. The Propaganda on all sites poisened the national political minds of many people for a generations with hate and disguste. Without WWI it would be absolut impossible that an unemployed austrian looser who voluntereed in the bavarian army 1914 could be became Dictator of Germany twenty years later. WWI is absolutly important for the course of european and world history but it was an unadmirable slaughter.

Tactics and doctrine, yes. Grand Strategy and logistics? No.

@@Deridus exactly. They weren't made for an attrition war.

@@jinglejangle3287 Speaking as a former soldier I would say no one really is...

@Deridus indeed, not really. But the Allies had a lot of industrial and manpower compared to Germany, so they obviously had the upper hand in this kind of conflict.

@@jinglejangle3287 I remember reading a report by the BEF in 1917 that stated it was going to take at least until 1921 to actually defeat the Germans, but the Spring Offensive of 1918 completely upended that assessment. If the Kaisarschlacht hadn't run out of steam and taken Paris, they still would have lost. 50 fresh American divisions, each around 20k strong, would land by w's end. Some estimates I saw detailed the Germans only had enough actual combat effective troops to fill out 75 at wars end. Good luck finding anything close to the actual troop numbers.

I can assure you, those bandoliers were originally for 5 round stripper clips of 8mm mauser ammo and multiple nations used them in the ww1 era. A copy of the design, redesigned to fit 20 round magazines for the fg-42 was the one that didn't come until ww2

Every war is like that. Not just trench
