I love how death is represented in the first charging scene not by blood and gore, but by contrasting the shot of soldiers charging, with the empty horses passing through.
While Artistically I can see how that works in this film. I'd feel a more impactful scene would be instead to have the horses and their riders being cutdown around the protagonist's mount. Witnessing the true power and horror of machine guns against cavalry, we have cuts in between where you see from the German perspective just how easy it is to mow down an entire regiment of cavalry. When it looks like the rider has gotten clear of the deluge, a snap, camera zooms in on the horse to give the impression of the horse being hit, a gasp of air before the camera zooms back out to see the riderless horse, the only riderless horse, in a field of dead nobles and their steeds.
@@Mistjeager
Your idea paints a very vivid picture.
@@docwill5056 No less vivid than other war scenes displayed in the same film. The Devonshire regiment attack and damn near getting annihilated by MGs, Arty and Rifle fire before the gas attack, shows the insane Napoleonic style tactics utilized in WW1 and it succeeds in bringing the horror of the First World War to the theatre and then the screen.
What bugs me is that we as an audience can witness the graphical violence done to men/women seen in the likes of Saving private ryan, War horse, Black hawk down, Generation kill etc. But we tow the line at some horses being gunned down? Outlaw king did a beautiful job representing the power of cavalry and, how to effectively counter without shying away from the fact that horses were just as much a target as the humans riding them.

Curious how films and audiences are like that.

That cavalry attack was absurd at first, but then I saw the horror of something seemingly out of time to the modern mechanical changing face of war, being slain by a sword while shaving and trampled over by dozens of horses !!
@@amadeus1112 cavalry sabers were designed to slash and slice in tight situations like the cutlass so the way they used them was accurate
Cavalry charges only really happened at the outset of the conflict. They soon realised they were no match for rows of machine guns. ANZACs carried out cavalry charges in the middle east I believe, but don't quote me.
That's like the dumbest thing they did in that first scene is keep charging.... against machine guns.
Movies that keep doing that is just retarded. Oh look we see a machine gun let's keep going oh no more machine guns! Sir! Do we keep going? Wut!? Ok then!
@@koreancowboy42 Its useless if they retreat, the germans still can obliterate them easily since they use a machine gun. Its a lot more better than retreat and still getting killed. So theres 2 choice, attack the enemy position or retreat and get killed without making any damage against the enemy.
Why did they have a ridiculous amount of machine guns set up facing back at their position? seems sus. They never really charged in after they realised how stupid it was but cavalry divisions would ride to a battle and dismount, which is still faster than infantry.
That whistle blow makes my heart skip a beat.
How frightening it must have been for the soldiers, to hear that shrill sound. Like death calling for them.
For some I'm sure it was a relief, after days/weeks of trench life with the mud, cold, rats and influenza.
@@raymondduck6492 Crazy how death is the only cure to such horror.
My great grandfather was a Marine in WWI. I never got to meet him as he passed away a few years before I was born. However I cannot help but think about the horrors he witnessed while watching a film about the war.

How is that possible? when were u born? If Ur grandpa was in WW1, then he would be like 92 years old. by the 2000
Imagine actually going through those experiences. My goodness they were brave in the extreme. Forget the context of it and visualise running towards death. RIP all of them no matter their allegiances.
Well they were trapped into a 3 meter hole called trench and officers usually got those who went out a trial and shot... People can not imagine how psychology of people play vital role in submiting people to all type of body torture...They did that to me back in 2012 and 2013 they did my bronchoscopy...I didn-t complain because I know my duty was to see from what I am ill...Than I went to operation that almost killed me and thru chemio therapy...Than in 2014 we putted sand bags because of river flood...So I don-t need to imagine I was in some sort of this...
In todays workd is all about feminism and women empowerment 😂😂 people forget sooo easy 😢
Brave? They had little choice…
Please don't think i offend them with this, but I am currently reading a diary of a French soldier (Louis Barthas), and they don't want to be called brave, they don't want do be called glorious, they just wanted people to know what the war was really like, because the propaganda at that time showed the war as a glorious event, and that the bleeding people were heroes, but they didn't care about the (psychic) wounded soldiers without blood.... I am glad that videos like this show how it was, but most of the soldiers weren't brave, and don't like to be called that way. All they cared about (at least Louis Barthas), was that people know that it was absolute hell there. If you haven't read the book yet, I would really advice you to! It is beatifully written, and shows the horrors of WW1 even better than the movies.
Wie krank das alles war. Nur damit Generäle sagen können wir toll sie sind. Und es hört nie auf
These movies, which mostly show British attacks on the Western front, seem to be overly influenced by the carnage of the first day of the Somme. The reality is that these attacks were often successful at the tactical level but due to the limitations of transport and communications they were rarely if ever translated into strategic gains. Also, they never show the devastation of the defending trenches where the British barrage often destroyed the first line of defense and the attacking waves sometimes walked in to little opposition. Of course, these successes were short lived as the Germans often successfully counterattacked.
Not to be too cavalier about these horrifying battles, there certainly were plenty of attacks where the British or French troops were slaughtered en masse. Still a head-scratcher as to why the generals kept doing the same kind of attacks over and over.
All of these clips were from films made in the 21st century. I'm guessing the creator hasn't seen such outstanding WW1 films as All Quiet on the Western Front (1930), Sergeant York (1941), or Paths of Glory (1956 or 57), all of which contained realistic battle scenes worthy of this video.
Unfortunately, I have not seen these movies. But in the future, based on the comments, I will try to create another part.
Yo wtf how long did that take
You didn't even mention the Bunny Rabbit Brigade. Total fail.

The scene at 2:50 where the horses ride past the Germans without riders is a display of the devestating power of machine guns against cavalry and infantry

that was so satisfying
@@kaizerbekov9093 where you there? No so shut up
Lol. The horses would have been mowed down too. If anything it was unrealistic and way too tame. Also doesn't make sense why'd you have machine guns pointed at your own camp.
@@RedPantyNight why’d you put lol at the start bro
Tho I have the deepest respect for all soldiers who served in WW1, I am still trying to understand how a bayonnet charge against German machine gun fire was ever considered an effective battle strategy. I dunno, maybe try laying down some precise rifle fire from a distance? Train more marksmen?
Wasn't exactly a way around the trenches
They didn't charge straight into the machine guns like in the movies. Machine guns were typically placed on the ends of each sector to provide crossfire against advancing men. And WW1 trenches were a lot closer than most people realize. 100 yards was standard, and as close as 10 or 20 yards in some places.
Easy to see that with hindsight. At the time there were generals who still thought that cavalry would win the war. The First World War was truly the dawn of modern warfare as we know it; although the participants at the time didn't fully understand that, especially in the early stages. It was essentially trial and errror at the expense of hundreds of thousands of lives.
I know this might sound dumb but why just charge into the MG fire? Like you have a rifle. Get some suppressing fire on those MG-08’s. It made no sense why you would just charge and not fire your rifle.
@@browmaster2197 Because there's a lot more than just a machine gun shooting at you, rifle fire, mortars and large caliber artillery would all be raining down on you. All that while you're on open ground, attacking a fortified position and crossing barbed wire. It's not very easy to just supress a machine gun.
I'm surprised Lawrence of Arabia isn't in here, but these are awesome, The Red Baron is my favorite though
Red Baron wasn’t good as a film and plot itself, more of just a tool for the appreciation of Richthofen and a withdrawal of war heroes being a taboo in Germany.
The scene was good though.

The reality that this collection of ww1 action battles is on a par and even more impactful than the Private Ryan beach scenes were. I, glad that these movies reflect the stark reality of real WW1 war was truly like, thank you for showing us these scenes the shock and horror comes across as it truly should.
I see no blood and guts on these scene
@@Yeahimman32 There doesn't need to be blood and guts to represent the horrors of the First World War. And there's plenty, actually. 6 days ago an account which goes by the name "Connor Morris" commented:
"I love how death is represented in the first charging scene not by blood and gore, but by contrasting the shot of soldiers charging, with the empty horses passing through."
Again, gore isn't needed to represent the horrors of the Great War in film.
watch a series called 'The anzacs' old but gold and it really shows the horror of that war.
Private Ryan is most stupid movie I ever seen. It feels like dark humor instead of serious movie.
Most ot these scenes range from poor to complete rubbish. Troop deployoments void of any tactical sense but loads of brainless CGI and fireworks instead. The only scenes that look slightly realistic is the one involving French troops (timestamp 11:00) and - to a lesser degree - the last one. The French scene (Joyeux Noel) because it shows a time early in the war when "human wave" assaults really still were a standard procedure. The latter because it looks as if a infantry unit gets surprised by a well timed counter barrage as it prepares itself for an attack and is therefor quite exposed. What those flares were intendet for I don't know but I don't want to pretend to know it all either. The scene from "lost battalion" maybe was the least bad of the bad ones as the Amercians were rather new to the business so they might have used some outdated tactics but even they should have been taught in the use of light machine gun units (Chauchat/BAR), small teams, surpressing fire, hand grenades and such. After all, it was 1918 already. The special effects and the fireworks isn't as much over the top as the other movies either but still... after all it is from a movie who's basic message of 'muricans showing those lame europeans how to fight is an insult to all the victims of WWI to begin with.
DAD: WAR IS HELL. That's what my dad wrote his dad during the Battle of the Bulge when US Army was desperately trying to cross Belgium and enter Germany. His own Dad knew what he meant, he himself having fought in Ardennes during WWI.
the stories they could tell. If they wrote them down you should share them.
@@RileyDude27 I have them in his letters. Also I recollected what he told my older brothers. And at his deathbed his fear of answering The Lord why he killed so many Chinese in North Korea when leading a Tank Unit, probably hundreds of them. I can write them down, but who would read it? Don't think any publisher would be interested. My dad went to France-Belgium- Germany, later on to Korea. They wanted him to go to Vietnam, promising to make him a General in a short time (two promotions). He retired instead, he's not the type of man who'd lead men into battle from a desk or on the rear of the army. The US Army wouldn't let a Colonel or General to go inside a tank shooting at the enemy right in front of him. I suspect that's why he declined. God only knows. He got two important condecorations for war service. He died on 1970s. He (and his Company) entered the atomic bomb site in New Mexico during the Oppenheimer test, as the Army needed to see if soldiers could go in after a blast and finish off the enemy. 60% of them died of cancer eventually, including him. He had one last battle against communists shooting towards the Canal Zone civilians back in 1964. Then he retired years later having turned down Vietnam.
Holy shit

@@churclan000 After the attack the camera shows us a birds' perspective of the battlefield and you can see many dead horses. It just wasn't included here.
WW1 is such a fascinating war in terms of technology. In the beginning (as you see here in war horse) its starts off of with swords on horse back, non practical war uniforms, and bolt action rifles. Then Towards the end you have machine guns, chemical warfare, aerial dog fights, tanks, and flame throwers. Its too bad there are not enough WW1 films that cover a variety of topics, and many and I mean many of them are love stories with fictional characters. I cannot find a single film that has anything to do with Tank warfare? Here are some WW1 related films I enjoy for various reasons:

@Morgsm There's another aspect of WWI that needs to be mentioned - all the executions for 'cowardice' that took place.
Most of the 'cowards' who were executed, were shell-shocked 16-17 year old boys who had lied about their age, to 'join the great adventure', only to crack under the prolonged and devastating artillery pounding, and were found wandering around dazed, and disoriented. They were arrested on sight, and after a short 'trial', (some trials took only 20 mins-½ hour) they were sentenced to be 'shot at dawn'. Often they were shot already the following morning.
The Italians carried out the most such executions, then the French, closely followed by the British (they also shot Canadians, New Zealanders)
The Germans executed considerably fewer of their troops.
America and Australia did not execute their own troops for 'cowardice'.
God damn that’s awful
Fair comment. But no one said war made sense.
I remember a movie I saw when I was a kid, about an italian soldier that came back to its command post saying that he was from lthe 76th batallion. He is taken prisioner and executed for cowardice on site because "the unit 76 was anihilated and there were no survivors"
@@AlexHuertaA can you remember the title?
They were actually quite rare
Many troops drowned in the water-filled craters, and often there was mustard gas remaining in the craters.
Yeah the mustard gas wouldn’t dissipate and would pool at the bottom of the craters. Guys who fell into these suffered a truly nightmarish fate. Most of them wouldn’t die from mustard gas (as it usually wasn’t lethal) but the burns and damage it does to your body is arguably worse than death.
It’s kinda sad in the horse scene where you see all these riderless horses and what it implies.
why? they defended white supremacist France who owned 40% of africa killing more africans then french soldiers died in ww1. I think that scene is great. Why they don't invade and liberate africa instead?

The British covered one of the shortest frontline of the war but they are everywhere.
And the Americans won WW2.
World War One has always held a certain fascination with me because it was such a pivotal point in human history, the end of the Victorian Era and the beginning of the modern era that we live in today. It's also right at the edge of living memory. Veteran's of World War 1 were still with us until the 1960s and as such we actually know what the war was like still it's hard to imagine armies still using horses and swords getting ripped apart by machine guns and large artillery piece's. Technology had advanced so much that few Western Countries had ever used any of the new modern weapons that had just become available in a real war and as such they couldn't predict just how devasting modern war could be until they were right in middle of it. That's why the first few months of the war started out much like wars fought in the 19th century with calvary charges and large lines of infantry clashing in open fields. Of course that quickly gave way to trenches once it became apparent that fighting out in the open was suicide. Then the rest of the war became about trying to find a way to cross no man's land and reach the enemy trenches without being wiped off the face of the earth. By the time the US got involved technology and military tactics had evolved enough for armies to actually leave the trenches and go on the offensive but it was still extremely costly fighting out in the open even with the cover of tanks and creeping artillery barrages. The US was extremely fortunate to have sat out most of the war because in space of just 19 months the US lost over a hundred thousand men. Had we entered the war earlier that figure would have been much much higher.
It was The AEF and the Australians, who actually started getting things done, breakthroughs through the German lines, by doing things a bit differently...to the dismay of the brits, who wanted everyone to continue with the 'over the top and get slaughter' routine.
That's why the brits insisted on the extremely costly 'Meuse-Argonne' offensive, when American Troops had been making breakthroughs together with the French Renault tanks elsewhere along the front lines...
Yeah, that's not accurate. Monash was supported by the British from the beginning and he learnt it in the Boer War from the Dutch.
The MG is crazy accurate! I didn't see a single horse get hit!
It's hard to hit a CGI horse.
Flyboy is another very good one.

Mission first. The MG is a large amount of fire power, its essential to neutralize it. As you saw it was dug in meaning close quarter combat is probable. The sergeant probably knows its death but a better option then sitting in the open where artillery probably has the data to repeat. Repeat is reserved for whom?

I love the look on the British cavalry guy's face when he sees the German machine gunner. He and his friends have enjoyed an easy, cowardly "victory" butchering half-asleep, fleeing men, but now that the enemy can fight back, it's his time to die. Suddenly war isn't so glorious, is it?
As an American, I usually root for my side (the right side in WW1 and WW2) but the smug phony gallantry of those British cutting down unarmed men and then getting gunned down by REAL weapons, made me smile a little.
And you can argue all you want that there were no good or bad guys in WW1 but the Ottomans were unequivocally evil, the rape of Belgium was a thing, and the Germans were sinking our ships, and trying to get Mexico to fight us. Seems pretty bad to me. Obviously it wasn’t as extreme as it was in WW2 but I think there still was a “bad side”.
Ur just super anti British that’s why u enjoyed it.

The Centenary was a let down. I understand how most all films center on British fronts, meaning somethings amazing on screen are missed (like Carpetto's mountain and frozen battles, or the whole Estern Front of course). Still, several places where Britain fought have been neglected: Tanganyika, Dunsterforce, Greece etc. But I would really love most of all is a cinematic version of Jutland and the last great naval battle without airplanes. But thanks much for the compilation!

If you are a fan of these Old World War I films look up on CZcams Johnny got his gun either by the digital remastered version or there is a free version of the full movie on somebody's Channel. It's based on a true story of this American Soldier who was sent to France. His limbs and face got blown off by artillery fire while on a night scouting mission. They were spotted and Germany already had the location zeroed in. He is still alive but can't see, speak, move or communicate in any way. The military and doctors decided to keep him and (not in the movie but they did experiment on him.) He remembered morse code from when he was a child. His father spoke to him about how he and a childhood friend would string a wire so they could telegraph to eachother. He got the attention of one nurse over time with slight body movements. She begain to notice his head moving in a conscious state. She tried to end his suffering by cutting his oxygen but she was stopped by a military officer. They brought in a soldier, officers, and many doctors to figure out what he was saying.
*shakes head*
"S-O-S, Kill me, S-O-S, Kill me." Over and over again untill they decide to keep him alive locked away and noone knows what really went on.
The movie was based off a book by the same title, "Johnny Got His Gun." By Dalton Trumbo.
Look up "Johnny Got His Gun 1971" and youll find the free vid
It's also the story that inspired Metallica's "One" and they used parts if the film in the music video. I'm pretty sure they ended up buying the rights to the film after a while
During the 1st day of the '1st Somme', the British lost 60 000 men. The 1st day!
The idiot butcher douglas haig said, from the château he was 'billeted' in, that he "didn't think that was so bad".
60 000. That's a medium sized town.
Weren't these casualties and not dead? Still terrible ik, but I just wanna be sure...
That’s normal, in Asia we have battle with nearly 1 millions battle to the death.
@堺金 is it just like a never ending free-for-all in Asia?
Everybody remenber the Somme because of british lost but the french done quit well on this battle
Another Black Adder history degree recipient.
3:00 I find it hard to believe the horses are unscaved...
Death of comrades of arms is a great tragedy. But men,who lost them can't forget about them
1:21 the definition of caught off guard
almost all of them are pretty good movies thanks
Really wish this list had included the battle scene in All Quiet on the Western Front (1930). Arguably one of the best.
That first battle just shows how unready both sides were being ambushed like that
Awesome!
The battle scene from red baron is absolutely genious. It's like from other world.
You really don't know movies older than 20 years?
All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) (1979)
Sergeant York (1941)
Paths of Glory (1957)
Gallipoli (1981)
The Lighthorsemen (1987)
Un Long dimanche de fiançailles (2004) my favorite
Captain Conan (1996)
My great grandfather was in the 101st light horse division in ww1
Man, we need you on CZcams today...
That Red Triplane, its Epic.
That's What Legends are made of.
Yeah until some random machine gunner on the ground shoots him down
@@obi-wankenobi1750 whats the name of that random soldier...???!!!!
Thats right, no One knows,or care.
History love to remember names,and making heros.
Thats why We all have and "love" The Red Baron ,do you like it or not .
@João Rodrigues the guy’s name was Cedric Popkin lol.

WAR HOUSE IS PROBS ONE OF THE BEST WW1 MOVIES EVER
Still innacurate
War Horse is a fine film. However, I fail to understand the logic of the German encampment, out in the open, with presumably no pickets or guards on duty. The German machine guns positions in the tree line are to the rear of the open encampment, and their weapons are oriented toward their own camp. They could not logically open fire until their own men retreated to their rear, at which time the British cavalry charge would also be on top of them. The German camp could have been bait to lure the British Cavalry into the open for an ambush, but if so, the camped forces did not seem to be aware of it as they were cut down by sabers.
its a film without any logic. Obviously, this would never have happened in reality. Literally ONE machine gun could mow them all down and make a big carnage.
@@danielrief3927 Well it's better to have the battle take a some of the movie than having the battle on screen last the same amount of time it did in real life. That's why Saving Private Ryan's D-day scene didn't take 24 hours
I wish there was a movie about Vimy Ridge, that battle has so much historical significance to not have a movie based on it
Mostly an epithet about the futility of war. Soon after Vimy was taken, at great cost, it was lost to the Germans, again.
As a Canadian, you're absolutely right. I remember first learning about Canada's involvement in the Great War in grade 10. I couldn't believe that They're involvement was so much. The four divisions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force turned the tide of the Western Front at Vimy Ridge. Canada always seems to get overlooked. Sir Arthur Currie is Canada's greatest generals in Canadian military history. He was way better than Douglas Haig.
@@jordanluyendyk1281come on most of the conventions were created because of Canada in ww1. Good job guys.
the choice of the last scene works perfectly to finish this compilation. After the charges, the gunshots, the explosions and the deaths, it was the frightened cries of the soldiers that were heard. It shocked me...
The third scene I like the first couple minutes really feels empty, like the empty emotion that soldiers were first to have when going into these fights, such bravery, I would not wanna walk onto a flat, muddy, and gray plain such as that
When scotish musician started play I am not surprise everybody run out of trench.
Hhahahaha omg that's funny
01:03 -03:25 No combat guards. No more patrols. You're just setting up a Boy Scout camp in the middle of a field... Seriously?!?! The next thing I want to see is the Polish spearmen attacking the tanks... Mounted spearmen. Ulans.
You know that polish cavalry never really charged german tanks in ww2 ( if that is what you are talking about ). The widespread myth comes from german propaganda and a specific battle were polish cavalry charged a batallion of light and mid infantry. Not tanks
I watched the beginning scene with the horses on CZcams and I saw comments talking about how all the horses lived, and I really think that it wasnt just that they had good air but it was to just symbolize that the soldiers were killed on the field
Crazy to think they began with riding horses and ending with tanks
Should’ve shown the last battle scene for “ Passchendaele “
i love how they dont kill horses, but yeah thats right horses are innocent.
A l’ouest, rien de nouveau:)
WW1 was pure hell for the soldiers that fought. Some of these single battles lost a million lives on both sides for a mile of ground. At the first battle of the Somme there were 60,000 British deaths the first day of the months long battle.
Some 60,000 casualties. A third of whom were fatalities.
@danrooc oh pfft. If that’s the case I don’t see what all the fuss is about! I mean, it’s JUST twenty thousand dead young men from a medium sized country in a single day. And another 40k horrible maimed, disfigured, and scarred.
😊👍
Completly insane the way of fight...
nice contents bro
7:23 why blimps like these only float around, what’s their purpose?
Recon
Artillery spotting, primarily. A section of big guns would have a balloon working with them, and a telephone cable running from the balloon down to the gunners. The guns would fire, and the guy in the balloon would watch to see where they landed,
"Okay, a little the right, and you're landing behind the trenches"
Then the gunners would adjust a little bit, and shoot again
"Good - direct hit. Let them have it!"
2 words. Drum fire.
Magnifique documentaire
great
Names of the movies would be a great help.
You can find it in the description
In cavalry charges they would poke the enemy not slash at them. 10:13 you can’t court martial them or whatever if they r died.
The Red baron is the BEST air battle movie ever
6:23 there’s something about hearing a choir and the Great War. It was truly a time of great sacrifice and who knows what else.
If I've got to be honest, if it wasnt for the americans helping us out at the end. We wouldnt have won this war, the german militaries technology was way better and their intelligence aswell
I'm an American who believes the British army of 1918 was a war-winning force. After the failures of the German spring offensive the Brits were very successful at driving the German army back. The American battlefield contribution was important but did not rise to the level of the British or French in 1918. Where the American entry into the Western Front was decisive was in forcing the Germans into a massive offensive to try to end the war in 1918, lest they find themselves facing an enormous American army of 100 fresh divisions in 1919.
Don't forget the Royal Navy's blockade that contributed mightily to the home front starvation Germany was facing that put extra pressure on her armies and caused much low morale and food shortages at the front.
@@jeremyd1869 WHY R ALL YOUR COMMENTS SO LONG
@@ArthurPendragonyearsago Guess I have a lot to say. (You don't have to read them.)
@@jeremyd1869 it wasn't an insult or anything like that I was just saying
@@ArthurPendragonyearsago I didn't take it that way at all. No worries.
The bit about warhorse was when the horse broke through the German trenches single hoofed and galloped to Berlin up the Albertstresse and biffed the Kaiser seven times on the chin, knocking his tash side ways, then he run out at full gallop and without stopping raced to Gallipoli and defeated the Turk. Great movie
😂😂😂😂😂
😂 exactly. Hollywood sucks
The truth is that the flamethrower operators rarely taken as prisoners, they were executed.
Did you spot the French soldier?
Well the German artillery sure did.
#oversimplified
Hollywood has been around for nearly a century and still cant get battle scenes right. Its usually hit or miss. Why is there no studio that write and setup the scene that offers within a limited budget? A lot of the costs comes from creating their own stuff but cant there be a company that has pretty much everything they needed on hand that does most of the setup for them? A company that offers stunt people, costumes, and props as well as how the battle scene should be set up and filmed?
looks like you just found your new business venture lol
@@buddhaboi3020 probably not. Hollywood is a cut throat industry that doesnt make any money. At least on paper.
they do it like this because it is cheaper. otherwise they wouldnt do it like this lol
My great grandfather was in the Great War he was a private medical Corps he suffered cost him dearly
He survived
He was the one through God that won the war
What bravery and courage! On the same note what ignorance for the higher commanders to send all those poor soldiers to their deaths! It must of horrific for the soldiers knowing before a senseless charge that their odds of coming back alive or in one piece was slim to none! War is hell!
Не хватает фильма "1917" и "На Западном фронте без перемен".
It all started in 1914 the bomb exploded, tanks, planes, mustard gas... You soldier are in no man's land, no one expects you to survive, we thought it would be with a rite of passage... but all we found was, pain, fear, and blood. Planes that at first were just for reconnaissance and became deadly weapons, after all that was why Santos Dumont killed himself. New weapons like the tank, were growing more and more, but the Germans invented the war zeppelins, a flying beast.. ........ God save me, every dead person had family, children, friends among others, and 16 million of those people, never saw them again, war is a horror, you never know what awaits the other aside, we sleep with rats, pests, insects. when rats are hungry, they eat our food, the only "good" thing we have, sometimes they don't pull bodies out of the trenches, most soldiers died in the trenches, you could step on a body at any time, the definition of war it's fear
The most curious thing is that monsters aren't the ones under your bed......they're the men
Purely brutal!
You forget "Un long dimanche de fiançailles" who is a insane french movie
sum of all = all quiet on the western front
