To be fair, if you watch the film, after the machine guns stop firing, the camera pans out and up over the field and you see hundreds of dead horses and men scattered about. I guess the Germans were aiming specifically at the men riding, so fewer horses were killed. Either way, War Horse wasn’t all that great of a movie in general, so it’s not worth putting too much thought into it
The music is meant to inspire people and guide their movements. As for why they aren’t running...it’s so that they arrive at the enemy in a readied state. Not exhausted or scattered.
@@0IIIIII hmm...infantry should really run though. I mean as a soldier you should have the stamina and training to be able to run, first of all, and arrive in formation. And second, by walking into a hail of gunfire you are losing so many infantry that it hardly makes it worth it. Its just crazy. I assume that is why they all charged during WWI, because it would have been suicide to walk in front of a machine gun as they showed here. Maybe back in the days of pure muskets you could get away with it but once the Maxim came out really, that's suicide
@15 is legal In Europe 'Made famous' as in everyone knows about walking towards machineguns from the Battle of the Somme not 'made famous' as if Haig was the first one to use this tactic. This battle is the most famous representation of this tactic due to how disasterous it was for the British in terms of casualties and the little gains they made; I think it was 20,000 casualties in the first day. Everyone remembers the Somme not any of the other wars you talkes about.
To explain some things about the first scene It's the Russian civil war, right after ww1, the ones charging are the whites, they are out of ammunition, they charge at the entrenched red's and actually win that battle The guy leading them is a badasss who through the war won a ton of battles leading only cavalry The music is "farewell slavianka" (The white version ofc), a marching song, ment to give a rhythm to the march and inspire the men
The small tank in the first WWII clip of this series was a German remote controlled drone tankette with an explosive payload. The Germans were already using explosive drones on the battlefield in 1943.
@@yeshuaislord6880 One not really because that specific tech never went anywhere. We don't use ground based explosive drones even now. Two that doesn't change the fact that it wasn't particularly impressive at all. OP painted it as this grand achievment showcasing how advanced the Nazis were. In reality they were far behind in radio and radar technology by 43. Like with a lot of things they were simply willing to waste a shit ton of ressources on absurd projects because of their idiotic ideology.
Imagine if every soldier with a gun died in that march and it was only the instrumental soldiers left and they just charge with their tubas and somehow beat the red army?
1st vid was actually after machine guns changed war. That was a battle between Red Soviets and White Tzarists during the Russian revolution. The reason the men charged was because they were out of ammo and had no communications, so last ditch effort they charged, which succeeded after they rallied when the nurse was machine gunned
I am going take a guess that marching straight into machine gun and artillery fire is not very tactical. That is the strategy of using the dead bodies of your own troops to perhaps bury the enemy eventually.
Ironically, the Whites (the marching bois) won that battle. Though if I had to guess, they probably only won though pure, "wastage'd" manpower; such tactics probably explains why the Whites losted the war in the end.
I remember firing a Bren gun in the British army back in the 70's. Was amazed at the power of all these bullets smashing things out front of your. Remember cutting down a tree with around a 10 second burst and watching it fall and starting a fire with the tracer rounds .
@@TOFKAS01 i mean yeah it was bad for them to come out in the first place, but if you do, going towards your enemy in formation is much better than scattering across the field

@@J0hnHenrySNEEDen that's possible but still they should be spread out, running and they should use elements on the flanks. These are 1910s and 1920s. I am not convinced they would fight like this.
@@jakubjanota5086 They were possibly tired, plus they were in a snowy terrain. Much harder to run all the way, so they just used their energy to sprint when near the enemy to quickly melee them. Also, forgot to mention: The side with the machine gun lost that battle pretty hard AFAIK
@@jakubjanota5086spreading out=low morale, no formatiom which means less firepower (in this case less power in punching thru enemy lines) so yeah both methods have flaws although spreading out is usually a worse decision
Marching towards the enemy line is preferred so they could conserve energy for the subsequent fighting, what they do forget is that you should do this during low visibility so they wont gun half your men down before they even reached the first trench
That scene from Warhorse is sooo good and creative, I love how it's only the shots of the rider-less horses running past. No trying to hard to make a perfect gory death scene.
@@michazeegers Well its a survival bias because you wouldn't see the horses they did kill right? Just like the soldiers, because they are all dead on the field where there are not any shots of.
Music is used to keep a rhythm to your own troops so they march in step and stay organized in formation, which was pivotal for both morale and controlling your own forces.
Couldn't imagine being a tuba player during that war.

It did not showed all the scene in the end you can see all the dead men and horses of that battle the name of the movie is war horse
Nono.. that horses has been get buffed armour by WG. Front plate 215mm, side 180mm and rear 135mm. It can move with 19mph speed.
horses can be captured, ridden by the enemy or eaten. so, why kill them?
plus, if you shoot the horse, the rider can still attack on foot.
I thought for sure the band music would deflect the machine gun bullets and artillery shells. Guess not.
