100 years after the whole area is still "Zone Rouge". Definition: "totally devastated. Damage to properties 100%. damage to agriculture 100%. Unfit for human life. impossible to clean".
You can still see shellholes and you should never leave open paths (unexploded shells including many gas ones).
While a traitor during WW2, Petain was arguably one of the most capable french commanders of WW1, his tactics, organization and grasp of how modern war works were ahead of his time. He even earned the nickname "Lion of Verdun" for his actions
So sad that he betrayed his nation so shamefully smh
@@spicefactor9604 Was he though? Or did he simply accept that France had lost. Were the Germans that signed the surrender traitors? Were they traitors to submit to Russian and American occupation? Were they traitors to sign Versailles?
@@antonymash9586 Yes he was, do you not know what he did? He collaborated with the Nazis, he was a shameful man
@@antonymash9586to be fair hitler probably would’ve said yet for that last one lmao
@@antonymash9586 On the basis of French surrender he was not a traitor, he was a traitor by collaborating with the German military government and activly arresting French jews to be given to the Germans.
To put this battle in some statistics, over 700,000 casualties were suffered during 302 days of the battle, that's over 2300 casualties per day of the battle, its estimated that between 40 to 60 millions artillery shells were fired in the battle meaning that about 130,000 to 200, 000 shells were fired everyday on average. In a very small area of about 30 square km as said in the video, that's about the size of 10 Central Parks in NYC, that's a very small area compared to many other WW1 battles
One thing about verdun, it was a rather small battlefield. 1,000,000 artillery rounds per sq km were fired.
Fun fact: The Battle of Verdun is also featured in Battlefield 1's multiplayer mode
Also, yes you should definitely watch All Quiet on the Western Front. It's an absolute masterpiece
All three versions are great in their own ways, tbh. The 1979 version is my personal favorite.
The Great War channels special on Tolkien.
Fun fact after Fort Douaumont was taken by the Germans, the french practiced taking back an exact replica of the fort to where they could do it blindfolded. When time came for the french to take it back, an extremely heavy fog rolled in but with the french training they went through, they still took the fort with ease
VERDUN. How can a subj that there's so much to say abt leave one speechless? This song & video are amazing. "They Shall Not Pass!!!" God willing, there will nvr be another war like WW1 again. As an American, I can't imagine how the Doughboys, trying to support their families during the Great Depression, felt when sending their kids off to WW2 (to do it all over again).
Regarding the All Quiet on Western Front - it is ok, but if you are familiar with the previous adaptations or the book, you may be disappointed by how they handled certain parts of it.
For sure. Amazing movie. Beautifully shot, amazing cinematography, brutal combat choreography. But, big departure from the real AQWT.
Loved the reaction man and especially that you react to the song at the end.
Also did you see my last comment on your last Sabaton reaction where I recommended a certain order you should react to the Swedish album in that also includes you reacting to both the English and Swedish versions of those songs?
Yes, the war is cruel, atrocious, inhuman, bad times100 -we can't even imagine, true.
This is one of my favourite songs of Sabaton. The video was made in Poland, Świnoujście.
When buying merch from them I chose the hoodie (it's my standard jacket really) for this song bcs it is one of my favorite songs and Verdun just fascinates me greatly.
I have a massive interest in the limits of a person, both physically and mentally, and not much has pushed both of those to such extremes as Verdun
Pétain lived long enough to go from hero to villain.
Notice not only has Tolkien served but he served in Somme, same river the Brittish were shown stationed in the map
Yes. You need to watch "All Quiet on the Western Front". Great adaptation of the book.
I really like this way of reacting to both history and song together.
Verdun, just like the Somme and Passchendaele, were bloody and inhumane. An atrocity of mankind. Lest we forget!
While it might not be a music video, yarnhubs SS vs Postmen might tickle your fancy.
I'd say that All Quiet On Western Front is worth watching, point of the movie is to show the horrors of the war and it does it very well.
SISU is an splatter comedy. if you want good Finnish war movie check out The Unknown Soldier 2017 or Talvisota 1989. The Unknown Soldier being anti war war movie.
All Quiet depends because it’s not a faithful adaptation to the book and it’s previous films in 1939 and 1979. However, it is a good film in its own right even with its historical inaccuracies for the specific part of WW1 it was trying to portray.
Its really a shame what happened with Petain. I can only imagine an alternate universe where he would be remembered as the "Lion of Verdun".
YT deleting comments...again. I had to post something in the Community tab...again. 😢
I shall find your comment my good friend
Kit's eyes look old, like they've seen too much. I wish peace for you, even between these songs of war.
10:25 Yes it’s worthwhile seeing. Sure there are better war movies it is certainly is high enough up that it’s worth seeing.
Just found your channel. Lover this reaction. Keep it up. Subbed!
All quiet on the western front is amazing. You have to watch in the original german with subtitles though
All quiet on the Western front is great
If I sat in a trench and got shelled by 1 million rounds I'd have gone insane after the first couple thousand
I said it once I will say it again. Think I would rather take my chances in the air. Then in the trenches 😊
If you like Metal and History Sabaton is phenomenal
Also, Tolkien lived his first years in the country side. Then they had to move to the city. The green, beautiful place the Hobbits live and then the dark, horrible place with mount Doom. The swamp with the dead in the water is a memory from the trenches in the war.
Hello, I'd like to give my humble opinion, which you asked for... All quiet on western front was rather disappointing for me. Kind of typical Netflix of recent years, where they try to make up for the lack of story behind the abundance of special effects and explosions and action. Which is very sad as the original novel referenced here is itself one of the most important literary works in history, precisely because of how it describes the psychological hardships of soldiers at the front. And that's exactly what the film lacks, a connectivity with the characters, a real sense of their feelings. For me, the visuals are 8/10, but the story is 2/10.
I'm a ww1 and WW2 reenactor I patray 3rd kings army british 1914-1916 british 1st SAS 1940-1945
14:12 What?
You should read "All quiet on the Western Front". I don't believe the film adaptations are nearly as good as the book - though I haven't seen all of them. The one from the 70s was terrible.
"sequel no one asked for"
-oh yes, the planned trilogy
All is quite was OK.. not as good as original though..
thank god the germans won
Someone's played HoI4 Kaiserreich too much.
