this guy was really engaging Indie - he really knows his stuff. Nice episode.
"John" is an awesome addition to these specials, Indy and crew seem to always find the best and most knowledgeable people on their trips
His name is spelt Can. I believe that C makes the sound like 'ts' which makes it sound like tsan, or john.
RoyRoger No it's pronounced pretty much exactly like John just shorter. It means "life" in Turkish.
It's hard to lean a new phoneme :(
Just like my name.
It is like "Jahn" but shorter
That expert is so dedicated to his job, that he even has 1915 tattooed on his left arm (MCMXV)
I've got a LEGO astronaut minifig tattooed on my right arm, but sadly I've never been in space.
Julius von Brunk But I bet youa have stepped on a LEGO
Andrés The Royal Marine A bold sacrifice, for sure
I noticed that too. It was interesting.
@@baron_von_brunk If Shatner can do it, you can too. You're not 188 years old yet!
3:50 "It's over Churchill ! We have the high grounds."
"You underestimate my naval guns".
"you underestimate our naval power"
Don't try it
(lands to Gallipoli)
Allahu ekber hocam blows of 1 arm and 2 legs of all your troops
I really like that Turkish expert.
He's a Turkish Flo.
With better English
Rick Moreno Can graduated from Sabancı University. It's maybe the best university in Turkey and in Sabancı use of English is important for them so
I graduated from Bilgi University actually.
CB SPQR ah alright then
I love this chap. So fluent and articulate in second language and pretty even handed too, despite his healthy and quite proper pride in his own people. It would be easy to do otherwise but he’s fair.
Can's arms got me thinking, how about a special on the tattoos of WWI?
Id love to see that in an Out of the Trenches episode
Louis Steffano ha bf5 trailer
What a beautiful place. So surreal.
TheKo9IsAlive It really is beautiful, it boggles the mind it was a scene of so much carnage.
This guy Can is a fantastic guest on the show. Well done Great War
Greetings from Turkey! Thanks for quality content Indy! Great job as your channel's name suggests! Can abi size de ayrıca teşekkür ederim. Bu vatan uğruna verdiğimiz savaşı ayrıntılarla güzel İngilizcenle çok akıcı ve güzel şekilde anlatmışsın. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Every summer I stay at that white building on the shore called Seddulbahir Mocamp. It is still possible to find ammo fragments in the sand while swimming if you search carefully.
Frat Peker Be careful with live ammo
Andres I think he means shrapnel shell fragments but live ammo may still be there also. We still occasionally find cannon ammunition on the battlefields around Atlanta Georgia from the American Civil War.
We need a whole episode dedicated to this guys tattoos.
That was a really interesting story about the medal he's wearing.
I think that French cemetery is quite a simplistic yet beautifully designed place. The landscaping and that monument. I'd love to see it for myself. Thanks to Indy and crew for showing us.
Thanks Indy -- and Can ! -- for a great report! Gallipoli has interested me since reading about it in a Churchill biography: since the Peter Weir movie, it has FASCINATED me. (I even saw a full-length documentary in Turkish [English subtitles] in a Turkish-run movie house in Hamburg.) Any new insights are welcome, and you delivered.
I've only ever seen the grainy, wartime photos of Gallipoli, and read about it on books or heard it on podcasts and documentaries. I never imagined how beautiful the landscape is. Watching this video, I can almost imagine the smell of piney wood, sea breezes, and dusty sand. I can see why the Turks would fight so hard to defend this place; it's a view worth dying for.
Thank you to Indy and Can for the informative virtual tour of this gorgeous landscape.
Hello I COMPLETELY APPRECIATE YOUR WORK. you have no idea how awesome your vids are. I have learned so much information. In school it wasn't appropriate to learn anything of our pasts.. I've learned more in five videos than I had my entire life..!! 45+ LoL I am VERY THANKFUL FOR YOUR HELP.
Is there a Can t-shirt? There should be a t-shirt.
Preferably one explaining how to pronounce the Turkish version of “John”.
I can see it now - an aluminum can with “John” superimposed over it, complete with a kickass beard.
Love it!
I am going to miss this show, when it is over. Such a great journey. You should bring out a DVD with all clips and content. Just to be sure, that this gem stays with us even after a time after CZcams.
I wish you guys would make longer episodes! These Gallipoli field pieces have been AWESOME! Just wished they went longer! ;)
Can has very interesting tattoos.
Dat S.P.Q.R tattoo thoooo
"Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives...You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours...You, the mothers who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well" -Mustafa Kemal (Ataturk), Anzac Cove Memorial, Gallipoli
Nakrin27
Someone's cutting onions around here.
Nakrin27 they even honored those who dared destroy their 600 year old empire, now that my friends is true peace
the turk has some interesting history tattoos, you gotta be a serious history nerd to get spqr tattooed on your arm
Great work and indepth story, thnx Can Balcioglu!
I love his tattoos: MCMXV indeed.
Mr Ali Selim you are a great addition to the show, thank you!
His SPQR Tattoo is the ultimate troll and I love it
That's actually Can Balcıoğlu...
was scared Can wasn't going to get that highfive
Great episode! Mr Ali Serim impresses with his knowledge!
Ali Serim is the guy who sponsored the trip. The guide is Can Balcioglu
Ah thank you, missed that
Thanks for this. My great grandfather Archie ( 1st Inniskilling ) landed at x.
My great Grandfather fought at Gallipoli for the Lancashire Fusiliers, he was injured and hospitalised four seperate times in the Gallipoli campaign alone, being hit in the hand by a bullet on one occasion. He then went onto win a Military medal for taking out a German machine gun position at paschendale in 1917. After the war he broke his medal in half.
We say no to pay to win wow!...
Didn't you mention this on the last video?
muh_crackhead I think so
Я Русский блять I don't know what division he was in at Gallipoli, all I know is he landed on the morning of April 25, 1915 there was the famous “Six Before Breakfast” happened, in which half a dozen Victoria Crosses (VCs) were eventually handed out in recognition of the bravery shown by the 1st Battalion, the Lancashire Fusiliers. It was the capture of “W Beach” that he was involved in, there were 700 members of the regiment killed or wounded, one would have been my great grandfather, when getting off the "landing craft" he was shot in the hand.
why did he broke his medal in half?
Really like these on location Gallipoli Campaign episodes
Indiana Jones it would affect the turkish independence war quite alot right after ww1, as italians left their guns and ammo to turks before retreating and taught them how to use some of the machine guns
V beach - many an Irish man met his fate there. RIP to all
Amazing guide is so knowledgable. Thank you both for the presentation.
Great guide, great channel, great Indy and Company!
Making Cape helles on a game called Men Of War Assualt Squad 2 map will be released in some time but Gallipoli is one of my favorite topics of WW1
Awesome that channel has gone so far can't wait to see another war episode!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
These are some of my favourite episodes
Excellent presentation.
Love this channel
Very striking to see V beach in pictures after having been introduced to it first while playing BattleField 1
I know, the similarity between the pictures and the game is uncanny
Nicely informative video. Great job.
Great video from Indy and the crew as always and Can ofc! Hope you're having a great time at the wedding with Lord Albin, Indy!
Love you guys
John is outstanding.
I love the mini-series Gallipoli(2015) if you have not seen. I highly recommend it. Great job Indy,, Ali and crew. Thank you or another great video.
Amazing video
You should do a comparison on the cemeteries of the different powers. Perhaps even those in gallipoli. In flanders the Germans were buried with over twenty soldiers per grave whereas the Belgians were buried in large graves and the cemetries are more decorated and have more statues to remember the war contraty to the german ones.
I have sailed by this place so many times but never actually gotten to go ashore and see the sites and monuments!
Gururlandım XD 🇹🇷
♥
Can you please show the tunnels at anzac cove, Onya cobber.
Nice shoes Indy!
I've been looking up that symbol on his chest, not finding anything online and thinking he could just be a Red. Glad to know I'm wrong. Respect to you and your great-great grandfather from a former Australian soldier with a great grandfather with the Royal Scots Fusiliers that also fought in Gallipoli.
it is called 'ÇANAKKALE CEPHE LEVHASI MADALYA BARI'
It would be awesome if you make an episode comparing the Battlefield 1 Gallipoli maps, with the real places where you just been, to see how accurate the developers did their job
The overall Ottoman strategy with their German allies was to hold the ANZAC, French and colonial troops in a campaign of attrition indefinately so they could not be used on the western front or elsewhere. The terrain of Gallipoli suits the defender, and we read a lot about the bravado and chivalry of the Allied soldiers but from the start this campaign was doomed. The forcing of the Dardenelles was another wishful attack. Did the Allies seriously think they could break out into the Black Sea. The Ottoman high command and Gen. Liman von Sanders would have studied Gallipoli on paper and in the field, its defences and overall strategy before the war had even begun.
Since Enver was pro-german and Liman Von Sanders was the supreme commander in Gallipoli your argument is true (Keeping the major forces in the rear etc)But I believe if commanders like Mustafa Kemal had higher ranks the invasion would have been a failure on day 1.
Your Great Great Grand Uncle would be so proud.
Ah, now I know how to pronounce Kum Kale. Brilliant. Thanks.
I really like John. He's great
Also a quick note, the Republic of Newfoundland was at Gallipoli. After that they wete at the Somme, but that's a different matter.
How goes the move to the new studio?
V. Athanasiou they’re touring to hide the fact they’re homeless
Rene Quiñones not a bad tactic, would've made great WW1 commanders!
When is peace coming. Could you do an episode (it would have to be long and in several parts) on the Treaty of Versailles.
Do you plan one doing a bio on Sgt York or ,Gen Pershing?
Anyone know how long that ship in the background at the beginning of the video is?
❤️
Herlig nebb på 1:15 Indy. :)
Didnt know you are a fellow conoisseur of the snus.
But then again, all the chewing tobacco of the baseball scene must have accustomed you somehow :)
Flo, we want to hear about the SS River Clyde landing in detail Indy just touched on it
I mentioned Mr.Unwin. We didnt have the time to cover it sorry.
Fun fact: During ww1 and 2 you can find cases of people throwing unconventional things (sometimes funny) at the opponent when they have used up all their grenades and ammo. In some cases both would experience the same situation. Sometimes an object was mistaken as an grenade, and you can see soldiers doing the normal procedure and process of handling it. One of such case was when Americans on a ship started throwing potatoes at Japanese who were standing on top of their ship. (Their ships ran out of naval ship ammo. So they ran up alongside each other and started having a gun fight on board their ships at a distance.) When they landed to their surprise they saw men doing that, "Pile on the grenade to save your teammates," and picking it up to throw away before it blows, and etc. Haha. It was after a few moments when they finally started realizing they were throwing potatoes and started doing the same. Suddenly... it became a food war. Haha. I think both sides eventually got tired and just gave up and went away. (both were too exhausted to start invading each other ships, or fend off them trying to take a hold of their ship.) The explanation for why Japanese on board did not recognize it was potatoes is because they were so focused on dodging and in the heat of battle emotions they did not had enough time to quickly observe closely what was being tossed at them. Basically, the moment made them distracted and could not afford paying attention at a closer observation to long, out of fear the time spent might get them shot. All they could notice in the brief period that something round just got thrown at them and rolls around. Their rush to figure out what it was instinctively assumed, "It must be a grenade. Grenades are round, roll, and people throw them!" No one EXPECTS a POTATO to be thrown at them in a war. Haha. I think it is not really unheard of for stuff like like this to occur. I think you can find other strange odd cases of people making mistakes like these and doing odd things in wars if you dig enough
Can you do a bio about Horthy? He was to become a pretty imfluential figure post war.
"Exactly"
Hey Indy, I live in Georgia, the state not the country and me and my best friends are getting ready to move to France to join the French Foreign Legion. What role did they play in the First World War? Love the show!
Wow !
A question for out of the trenches
Why didn't the allies make any amphibious invasions in Belgium behind the lines? They appeared to have the upper hand at sea..
You are doing great work btw :)
Anyone know what ships are depicted at 4:12?
G’day Indy, once again very late: you seem to forget the Generals most to blame for the carnage at Gallipoli, they were Birdwood and Godley at ANZAC and Hunter-Weston at Helles.
You can forget Hamilton; he was out of the loop most of the time even though he was in overall command.
And the less said about Stopford the better!
What a beautiful place for a war!
Bigboss & Bigben Channel 100 years can sometimes “heal” the wounds of war.
Unless you are the one who gets killed after several bullets piercing your livers.
i like can's tats.
Can, do you think the entente couldve won galipoli had the campaign been managed differently?
Depends on how differently. I think if they had not underestimated the Ottomans ,the geography, the currents and the mines in the straits they would have won. I dont like doing "if i were there" but if I was in a position to call the shots I would have much more cautious in the naval approach. And if were to land troops as a must I would have changed the aging officer corps in the entente side and get off my ship and observe the battle on the frontlines (as Mustafa Kemal did on the Ottoman side) instead of drinking tea on board the Queen Elizabeth.
Canadian Newfoundland Gallipoli war campaign 19 september suvla bay extraction they withdrew peninsula coribou hill 🇨🇦
Conquest Assault...
My grandfather was an ANZAC who from what we gather from family stories semed to suffer from what we now call PTSD. My mother often said he had been gassed but in my research I've never seen mention of gas used at Gallipoli. What's the true story?
ottomans never use gas in ww1
Today 100 years ago was the 1st Livermore Rodeo
The Ottoman Army was indeed , VERY WELL equiped, it was one of he genuine superpowers thad had been waning, BUT it was ,becuase it was a super poower, very well equiped, they were just on the downward slippery dip at this point in time.
That kind of looks like the campaign map in battlefield 1
Bruh Army_YT Battlefield 1 is based on world war 1, incase you didn't know..
Bruh Army_YT well “the runner” is set in cape helles
The Cape Helles map is actually pretty accurate, especially the landing craft positions in the pictures at 2:40 they look exactly the same
But the German general was right, the sane thing was tot take the narrow point and cut the peninsula from reinforcements. I will defend that point too, having the smaller fleet, or no fleet. So don't be harsh on him.
It was like the mistake of expecting landings on Calais instead of Normandy in WWII. The most obvious choice often isn't chosen because it's so obvious in war.
Question for OOTT:
Hi Indy, I have some alternate history speculation for you: If Italy had remained with the Central Powers and followed them into the war, how do you think this would have affected the Western Front and the Austro-Russian front? I imagine Italy could have joined either through promises of seccession of Austrian Italian territory or CP support in annexation of French Savoy, Corsica and parts of North Africa. Could the Italians have hit the French hard enough in the south to let Germany break through to Paris?
did he say after armageddon
Also, can you do some more of the Russian revolution after the trip
Losif Dzhugasvili Stalin That would be really awesome
Maybe they should have recruited Dennis the menace in the ANZAC
Tactically, how difficult of an operation was Gallipoli on paper?
On paper every operation is easy to moderate. Its the implementation that gives you the difficulty.
That's fair. I imagine it was planned as pretty simple.
Can you start a Ww2 series ?
CAN YOU DO THE YUGOSLOVIA WAR
hahahaha
In a previous episode, Mister Can Balcioglu said that the Turkish army had no field kitchens. How did the Turkish army feed its men?
by "field kitchens" I meant the equivalent of allied field kitchens meaning sustainable and reliable field kitchens which made the men sure about their next meal. Hot meals were very hard to come by and the soldiers had to feed themselves off of anything that had nutritional value. During Ramadan they were fed once a day.
My dad told me that sometimes they ate their shoes
Wow, Achi Baba looks a lot diferent. Is not like in BF1
Frederick Bishop
This guy kinda looks like saul Goodman
Mr Nidell i invite to Trabzon to recall Russian invasion..
Before this I had been under the impression that Gallipoli was a dry, dusty place but the video shows that that is not factual. But the combat could have denuded the terrain from vegetation.
In British and ANZAC traditions, medals of relatives should be worn on the right. Is this the same for Turkey?
No we wear them on the side of our hearts.
Dude wears a Gallipoli Star which are very rare nowadays.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallipoli_Star
It's over, ANZACs, we have the high ground!
Indy,...I super love you (no joke, you are amazing) but it's about time to loose the waste jacket which was too small already but soon the great war will stop so you are saved by the gong.
