  • On the 11th Hour of the 11th Day of the 11th Month, The War to End all Wars came to an end. World War 1 is often overlooked by its more destructive sequel, but it is just as important to world history as world war 2. It was the first real modern war, and saw the introduction of modern weapons such as automatic gun fire, airplanes, and tanks. But with any war, or any event in history for that matter, it brings on a host of strange and obscure stories. From tales of battalions disappearing, to the most brutal of battles, to giant sea monsters that attacked a submarine. These mysteries and obscruities have been sorted into an iceberg chart, a way of organizing information where at the top, its topics that everyone knows, and as you go further down, the topics become more obscure.

    Fun fact about the most famous "shell shock" image, the guy smiling isn't in fact under shell shock, he is smiling because a sniper bareley missed him, and he's laughing about it. There was a channel on CZcams that talked about him, forget what channel it was exactly, but it's that bearded guy with the hot indian wife.

      Just that it didnt happend like that.Yes there was a cease fire,yes the spoke to each other,but didnt celebrated togther or played soccer.The picture often showen is from Britisch (or franz) troops playing soccer in a field camp behind the front.PPl often thing soliders stayed all the time in the trenches.But they didnt.They would rotate from front trenches to back and then after some weeks in a far more remoter Field camp. A important thing germany didnt do so much as the allied, so the german soldiers were oftne more tired.Same is in Ukraine russia rigth now.Ukrainiens are able to regain and calm down...russians are not....

      You were there? You said you saw it... At any rate, I'm near certain not much like the story happened, my guess is it happened, sort of, at one spot on the line - and propaganda took the ball and ran with it. Sources from the time have peculiar wording, but later it's turned into something that implies it was common. I'm certain it wasn't - because doing what is described would have generated lot of executions for collaborating with the enemy.

      @@Falkriim You're welcome to believe what you want, I have had the chance more than once to compare what's "history", what was in "media" at the time, and evidence actually on the ground, to know that between 99% and 100% of nearly all modern "war history" is untrue. What is "official history" is never true, at least I've never once found it to be - it's somewhere between wildly embellished and completely made up. What's worse even, is that actual events disappear completely, I've been a first hand witness to what I'd consider important events when I was in the military. Not a peep ever came out of it. You'd think something would come out, even if on some conspiracy crank site or so - but nope. Zero. So I'll stick to what makes sense to me, and y'all can stick to what you like, and in the mean time what actually happened has been put 6' under and forgotten long before we were born.

    The russian sentry one is probably about russian soldier who was found in collapsed tunnels in Osowiec fortress in Poland. After the Great War newly formed polish state was rebuilding old imperial fortress, when they found him.
    He was blind, and refused to leave his post when polish soldiers ordered him to. The sentry said that the only people who could remove him from his post were his CO or the Tsar himself
    UPD: decided to get rid of my drunk ass typos and clarify why dude didn't die when he was trapped in the tunnels. Russian Imperial Army withdrew from Poland in 1915 being certain they will return soon enough. Russian general stuff viewed the retreat as necessary step to regroup the army so they wouldn't be sandwiched by German and Austrian army from north, south and west (speaking of their Polish territories). When they've withdrew they've stashed huge amounts of necessary stuff for soldiers - ammo, weapons, clothes and most importantly - canned food. The sentry was trapped in one of this stashes under Osowiec fortress. For nine years straight he was eating canned food and drank water that flowed from a crack in the ceiling.

      Upd: I googled it a bit and it seems that he was in tunnels since 1915 to 1924, and poles offered him to stay in Poland and wrote about him in newspapers in 1925, calling him the most loyal tsar's soldier, but he refused to stay and left to his hometown somewhere in western Siberia.

      It typically happens as the generations go on. Eventually WWII will fade and people will be talking about Vietnam more. The last WWI veteran died over a decade ago but there are still thousands of WWII veterans alive so we can still get a sense of WWII first hand. However, they are dying fast. Same thing most likely happened with the Revolutionary war, Civil war, and so on. We all get lost to time eventually.

    The anti-Germanization of WWI wasn't just renaming food, it also put an end to many German-American cultural institutions. German churches, schools and communities rebranded, switched to English and distanced themselves from Germany. It was when Germans joined English as being mainstream white Americans with little German heritage in most cases.

      English Royalty even changed their family name in 1917 to distance themselves away from their German heritage. Queen Victoria, a Hanover monarch, married the Austro-Hungarian prince Albert Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, bringing their name to the royal house of England. But when anti-Jerry sentiments rose, they changed the royal family name from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to a more traditional Anglo-Saxon sounding Windsor, which remains today.

My town was Berlin, obviously named after the capital of Germany, but we changed the pronunciation of the town, and no one spoke German ever again, the language in my family died with my great grandfather.

    Fun fact about the Spanish Flu. It likely wasn’t as deadly as we are taught. In med school you learn about iatrogenic harm (which is when the treatment of an illness is actually causing the issue), and the Spanish flu is the case example.
    In the western forces, Asprin was used to treat fever. Spanish flu caused fever and because of the fighting, fever was believed to not only be the deadly aspect, but also was the thing that incapacitated a soldier.
    So they were issuing huge doses of Asprin in order to combat fever.
    Well… overdose of Asprin causes fever… so many soldiers were getting fevers from Asprin overdose and then given more Asprin. But when they died of fever, (since that’s what kills you with the flu) they were chalked up as Spanish flu deaths as well.
    It’s literally impossible to gauge how many deaths were from Asprin and how many from the Spanish flu, but the lethality rate was significantly less than thought. Not to mention battlefield and wartime conditions in general aren’t the best for treating regular flu outbreaks and this likely caused a more severe spread and therefore more Asprin use.
    Doses you can find in military medical records are sometimes 100x higher than the LD50 known today.

    Dave Munger has a good video on the Gavrilo Princip thing. It's basically a myth. While Princip was actually waiting on that corner, he hadn't called off the assassination (actually, the mistake was that Franz Ferdinand's driver had accidentally turned down the original route where Princip was, instead of the new one) and he wasn't getting a sandwich (which wasn't even a part of the local cuisine at the time).
    That story apparently comes from a novel, and people misinterpreted the fictional aspect of that story as historical fact.

    Someone who should have really been on the list is Jiroemon Kimura. He was a Japanese man who was the last living World War I veteran. He was born in 1897 and served towards the end of the war in 1918 in the Imperial Japanese Army, leaving in 1921. He died in 2013 at the age of 116. Not only was he the very last verifiable living WWI veteran but he was also the last verifiable living man born in the 19th century and the oldest verifiable man in history when he died. This means that the last living veteran from a war that happened nearly 106 years ago died not even 11 years ago. Mind blowing to think about.

    Regarding the hound of Mons - in Iraq and Afghanistan, packs of stray dogs would eat the dead or severely wounded. If the locals/insurgents didn't collect the bodies, which was often enough as they were usually in sectors of fire or assumed to be booby-trapped, then the stray dogs regarded them as a large meal. Soldiers who found themselves separated during patrols for a significant time (yes, soldiers occasionally screw up that bad) would occasionally report being stalked by the feral packs.

It is often associated with the Bermuda triangle (which is a load of nonsense b/c ships sink everywhere all the time in higher rates than there anyway). It's believed it may have been a victim of a process called ore liquifaction which has sunk and continues to sink ore carriers to this day.

    Some pronunciation corrections:

    Cábrinović: kah bree no vich.
    Schlieffen: shleef en.
    Ypres: eep ruh.
    Mannfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen: mann-fred al-brekt fry-hair von rikt-ho-fen. (Freiherr means 'freeman', not baron. He actually was a baron. Please do not spread inaccurate information.)
    Cavalry: kav al ree (not kal-varee).
    Agincourt: ajjin-kor.
    Passchendaele: pashen day la.
    Croix de Guerre: kwah de gair. Also, Cher Amí was a female pigeon, not male.
    Petaín: peh ton.
    Osowieć: oh so vyech.
    Kadaververwertungsanstalt: ka dah ver ver vair tung zon stahlt. No, insofar as we know, there was no corpse-soap factory. The real corpse factory was the uniforms and equipment recovered from the field, cleaned, repaired, refurbished, and re-issued to fresh recruits, sometimes with the dead men's nametags still on them.
    Beauchámp: bo-shomp.
    Gottlieb Höchmuller: goht-leeb hok-mooler. And no, his experiment could not have succeeded due to simple biological differences between human and canine. But there *was* a huge canid roving those fields, most likely a dogman.
    And yes, 'amongst' is a word. I know literacy has taken a nosedive in recent years, but don't let this generation's failings make you doubt what you know about grammar. If you're *part* of this generation, then I'm sorry - attend remedial English and Literature classes. Make an effort to become fluent in your native language (I can't believe I'm actually typing those words) and improve or master basic literacy.

    In a way, WW1 *was* the war to end all wars
    as far as I can see, WW1 was the last war where rutheless, underhanded tactics were commonplace. And while they are still around, they aren't as common. Also, most wars after WW1 have a very low casualty rate compared to WW1. There aren't 50 thousand soldiers dying every day anymore. So I guess WW1 ended the ruthless, barbaric ways that wars used to be fought in
