Most ww1 footage isn’t from ww1 but right after the war
Re-enactments we’re done with real troops to make a Nickelodeon (silent film with narration) to show the people back home what was happening in Europe
Most of these films are confused with re-enactments as they are sometimes done at the same location and all the equipment is legit as wel as explosions
@Man Face Studios No, most WW1 footage are reenactments.
This is the real spongebob?
As an actual WW1 film researcher i find your message hilarious, respectfully you don't know what your talking about xD
The film is in projector backwards, the RAF pilot's wings are sewn on the left side of the uniform where the heart is and the newspaper images are backwards, too.
All film and photos were like that back then.
Look how war drives technology and development. Started with single shot rifles, ended with 600 rounds per minute guns
nah they had machine guns in the start, but were naive enough to believe that cavalvry charges were still viable
Amazing how death is ramped up with each new war invention. Whereas you would think great inventions would prevent wars. It became the very thing that starts wars. We don’t think anymore and have accepted the ideal about dropping a nuclear bomb with indiscriminate thought as long as it is on someone else in another country. We don’t blink about another country starving or killing its people to fall into their leadership mindset as long as our industrial needs are met or it doesn’t spill over to our economic spending. Even Iraq was a excuse to strategize hurrying up a foreign country leadership snafu in the quest for resuming cheap oil, and keeping the rest of religious nuts from taking sides whom ironically control their own oil economy affecting World powers which at the time were lacking oil themselves. Now that fracking and battery power are leading USA change, our fracking oil goes to Europe,their economic or human suffering is no longer viable for our attention. Africa which is a boiling Calderon of human suffering for centuries is of no use till they offer the rest of the world value beyond human carnage which has no economic value. World powers need the exercise of small wars to always be prepared to take on large wars. It is injuries that fuel anger and clean up training mistakes or equipment failures in war practice, it is death that fuels country pride in war regardless of inferior equipment or planning mistakes...
Started with charge brigades with horses, ended with planes, tanks and submarines.
Interesting that you use fire power as your example of technological advances.
I understand why but in most our lives medical,transport and communication would be far more important than how many bullets a gun can fire. All of which have been driven by the needs of conflict.
Never mind I’m guessing your American and obsessed with firearms.
And still we make deadlier weapons
As predicted men shall destroy menkind the worst enemy of men is their own kind.
No disagree on that ppl
Like eves dropping into the memories of ghosts...
4:14 Downtown Oakville, Ontario Canada, 1915
"paving of the Toronto - Hamilton highway , this is Colborne street (now Lakeshore road) as seen looking west from St George"
Reverse Image Shows "Gulledge's" , So I hunted down any old business with that name , and then researched any large scale, paving/road projects on that street . The Link is Very long, just type in "1915 on Colborne Street" and an image with
Gulledge's should show up. CHEERS !
thank you
Fantastici video originali😮😮
Fantástico mais de 100 anos e ainda existe imagens
Picture is inverted... newspaper headlines in English...use a mirror
A deep and heart touching video...
One day we shell not the part of this colourful world as they are not the part of this world which mens are seeing in this video about wwI....😢🍀💞🌻💖
those pilots looked so happy 😢
Yeah they were, they weren't stuck in a filthy trench.
To my knowledge, American made aircraft never saw action in World War I.
Yes, I believe in ww1 the United states military wasnt a powerhouse yet
@@ptrekboxbreaks5198 American pilots trained with Curtiss Jennies at home, but flew British and French aircraft in Europe. It wasn't considered logistically viable to send over American planes.
It was a French unit made up of American pilots, so they flew Nuieports and Spads.
@@stevenpilling5318 It wasn't an American unit. It was a French unit made up of American pilots, so they flew Nuieports and Spads because they were part of the French air service.
@@arthurmcbride1235 You're thinking of the Lafayette Escadrille, Arthur. That was indeed a French unit manned by American volunteers. When America entered the war, those man were transferred to the I.S. Army Air Service.
oh GOD i hate war , so many dead for greed
Dude wtf, i mean yes the people who started it are greedy but no one else was
War is the worst thing ever but it's essential to freedom.
Without war, there’s no freedom. War is a terrible thing, but sometime it’s a necessary evil. A man was assassinated, a great man to say the least, and he was killed buy a Central Power
All those Kings were cousins that sent Millions to their deaths
4:05 a quälänkh mai FränD?
May god rest their souls
WARNING - This film is only silent if you mute the crap sound overlaid on it.
The camera at the front line👈👈👈⚠️⚠️
Allies in WW1 is a modern day historical mistake. WW1 wa fought betwen the the Entente powers Vs the Central powers
In the ww1 movie called "the road back" (from 1937) they used the word allies " these were drawn up by the allies "
Ww1 a revenge war, everyone wanted a piece of each other. To replace the 1800s battles
@@vhsunknown827 and ww2 was the rematch because it didn't end the way a bunch of those countries wanted.
The entente powers were the allies, the bad guys was austria-hungary, germany, and the ottoman empire
6:38 that poor lad that got clipped by a MG round! It’s really rare to find graphic footage like that... especially in documentaries, it really shows the brutality all sides went through!
are you watchin the same vid?? at 6:38 theres a tank lmfao
6:59 rest in peace.
At about 7:04. Watch.
Newsreel cameraman didn't stand up in the middle of no mans land with a camera on a tripod in the midst of an attack. It's a dramatisation.
@@Jakesmom917 Newsreel cameraman didn't stand up in the middle of no mans land with a camera on a tripod in the midst of an attack. It's a dramatisation.
Ah yes the war that started every single war after it.
"The war to end all wars"
If only they knew.
Ah , yes , the seven years war
I can never get over the women's bathing suits, you could drown with all that clothing.
One looks for actual combat footage & they either get something faked like this or video games.
How the hell is this “faked”?
@@felixash9716 See the comment below.
@felixash9716 most ww1 combat footage is reenacted
This isn’t real
Damn would have been fun to be there and make history
No it wouldn't this was considered the scariest war for soilders.
i weirdly agree...
Only people who want to be in war are those who never lived in one
@@charlesuplifted5216 and how do you know I've never been in war I could be a veteran for all you know you people just like to sound smart for no reason
@@vhsunknown827 my guy any war would be considered scary for any soldier
Obscene carnage and slaughter. Godless heathens.
