VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 11. 04. 2020
- Trench warfare in WWI was some of the more hardest living conditions for soldiers and in today's new military video, we're going back to WWI to show you what life was really like in the trenches and why you probably wouldn't survive.

Comparing people to soldiers seems odd. Iâm a veteran and i feel 100 different then what would be called âpeopleâ.

Yellow fever was mostly active during the late 1700s not 1916-1918, check your facts, Also the Spanish flu (aka swine flu) was a serious epidemic in 1918- this day (obviously very rarely) and one of the first victims was (sadly) the British prime minister and war leader David Lloyd George.

Todayâs soldiers: were the toughest. WW1 soldiers: hold my beer
Love Blue uhh backstory ? Who said modern soldiers were the toughest ?
@@jankukura6744 modern soldiers probably
JĂĄn Kukura never said they were but I know a lot mf tough marines like these guys arenât human sometimes
I agree but you gotta give it to modern soldiers. These people weren't drafted, they willingly signed up for war. There's also a lot of career soldiers nowadays.
ShakenPig true but they mostly do it for benefits in the old days was to fight for our country my grandpa fought in ww2 and he signed up to fight for his country and in the old days, ways of fighting were a lot different less way protection, and like waves of soldiers fight it out to the death now is more planning and smaller groups in some areas and a lot of air support and technology
my great grandpa fought in WWI on the german side. he said, often the two enemy sides became befriended after such a long time in those trenches.
they began to trade, play cards together during cease-fire and when they had to fight again, one side would shoot, while the other side waits and the other way around :-)
but of course this was not always the case...
Is your grandpa still alive ?
@@stellarspin360 mostly likely not ww1 ended over 105 yrs ago

It wasn't much action as I thought
I agree
The timing We learning about ww1 in history
Actually French were first to use tear gas in 1914 but it wasn't very effective and it wasn't used much since then. Then in 1915 Germans used chlorine gas . The video itself is amazing . Thank you .
Babek Agayev i read âfrench wereâ as âfrench friesâ
"Silently released into the strong winds."
Silent, but deadly.
Do they have a ketchup gas
Lowkey I am learning about this in History so I told my teacher and she just made us watch this and answer a few questions for the day
Wanna switch teachers? Yours sounds cooler
Not the best teaching material because there are some pretty big inacuracies in the video but it does get the gist of it.
@@pepijnwarmerdam8784 explain the inacuracies pls
Everyone seems to forget that the French lost the most men on the Western Front and had a larger impact than the Americans and British.
Yep. *Coughs* Verdun *coughs*
Only americans forget that
American propaganda covers that
@@lukashradecky5492 yup. I mean this entire video has a "German-Bad" vibe to it.
That was 100% taught at my American school.
The war that gets the America badass treatment thing, joke or not, is 2, since we actually got there in time to help for that one.
My grandfather of my grandfather was injured in ww1
Mostafa Nabawy Thatâs cool! My great uncle was blown up on a Jeep WW2

This can be further explained by Blackadder.
I was watching 1917 first 7 minutes clip and minutes later this thing popped out.
âMachine guns took the most lives in the First World Warâ actually it was artillery that took the most casualties, and machine guns

Who atacked Fort Sumter?
@Dëusche SÀnitÀter yeah because they kinda did..?
@Dëusche SÀnitÀter yeah because artillery did take the most casualties, machine guns being a close second
3:12 i heard in WW1 American soldiers were on the front lines for only about 3 weeks, and then sent to backlines to be replaced by other soldiers, so they get less "worn out" by all the stress
and it's the german soldiers who stayed at the front for extended periods of time. one plus of that was since german soldiers stayed in one place longer, they better protected the trenches from mud and water, so they were a bit more comfortable than allied soldier's trenches
even gas mask but we still need exosuit protection
I feel like playing Battlefield 1 now
Sometimes I wonder why it took so long to make the M50. Everything made before it was unbearably uncomfortable, foggy, hard to shoot in, and hard to breathe during intense cardio. The M50 has 1-2 canisters, depending on if youâre shooting or working. It has deflectors in all the right places that keep the visor fog free, and it doesnât freeze your eyeballs in the cold. You can also swap canisters in a contaminated environment.
THS in 5:45 'They are hard to carry through no man's land
Guy at 8:15 I'm about end Germany's whole career
During the Gallipoli campaign the smell was so bad from the rotting corpses sitting in the sun/heat and feces everywhere due to lack of latrines or access to them due to Turkish snipers, that many British soldiers kept their gas masks on just to hide from the smell. They also begged for large amounts of cigars and cigarettes to cover the smell as well.
Goldfish were also used in ww1 when they were cleaning their gas mask when they used water they put the fish in the mask if the fish died then it still had gas in the filter.
Happy easter everyone and the infographics show!
Love the mix of animations, great narrations and world war 1 & 2 history! :D covered them in my A levels, very interesting.
No matter how many videos I watch about WW1 the nightmare it must've been never ceases to puzzle me. People were not prepared for warfare in industrial scale. Nie wieder.
People in 2020: God Covid is so annoying. I got no internet connection either!
Soldiers in ww1: " Finally I get a letter from my family and none of my friends died today. Sweet.

This channel is amazing thank you so much for the hard work.
I had an awesome history teacher in Gr 9 he would have the class absolutely transfixed I loved his class he really went in-depth on trench warfare.
My great-grandpa fought for Canada in WW1. Saw action in Ypres and Passchendaele. Got shot twice (one round through the bicep and one through the CHEST, two separate occasions), and gassed, but survived.
To be honest fighting in the front line in the trenches in ww1 was way worse than fighting in the front line in ww2
And the Napoleonic wars is boss level
whereâd you learn that? cod?
@@pugboi8017 I watch documentaries and I read books on the both of them and ww1 was way worse than ww2 on the front line
Youâve clearly just scratched the surface mate
@@pugboi8017 I don't think cod has ever made a ww1 game
I love these videos keep them coming!! Thank you!
Shout out to infographics for keeping us all entertained during lockdown!
My Grandad would never talk about the War it was too harrowing, but then he was a dispatch rider. Amazingly though some men went back after being wounded two or three times.
you know... i would keep my mask on for the night just in case.
WWI was lit af; imagine fighting a war thatâs so totally different from anything ever fought before. The confusion & fear from seeing flying contraptions, metal beasts, & death from invisible gas for the first time... wowđ€
Donât use that word loosely, idiot
WW1: 2% Lit 98% Suffering
great vids every time tbh
doctor: âyou have 11 minutes and 19 seconds left to liveâ

*Gotta learn how my ancestors died!*
I saw 1917 and knew that the trenches were gross
Watch all quiet in western front
Thanks to all the people who helped fight for freedom, men and woman. The pain and grief they have felt of loosing friends on the front lines are unimaginable. Let us pray that the effort and the lives lost shall not go to waste. For we have only one thing to say right now, âWe Shall Remember Themâ
Love these kind of army videos
While it has been said numerous times, it needs to be said again: There will never be a war like WW1 again.
Hope not
I love infographics show
I love your channel. You provide awesome knowledge.
This is my most favorite video and this channel is a great way to learn
Years ago I worked at a gym in Manchester and it had a pool. The gym manager put the Chlrione in thr acid task by accident it caused a chemical reaction the fireman said its very similar to mustard gas. đł it was during my induction on my first day đ€Ł they closed the gym and existed houses round the gym. Was only there about an hour not the best first day.
In case no one else pointed it out, the French were actually the first to use chemical warfare in WWI (Tear Gas), and that is what prompted other countries to start using it
Ty for this
Thanks for this vid

5:35 The WW1 machine gun is probably where the phrase "the whole 9 yards" comes from; the standard cloth belts that fed them held 250 rounds, and would be about 27 feet long. Thus, to dump all of your ammunition on something, to hit it with everything possible, is to give it "the whole 9 yards".
Was actually a term from ww2 air pilets... For that exact reason you stated

Trench foot was a problem in 1914, after that they started making wood floors in the trenches above the water & mud

Alternative Title: Life of a British WW1 Soldier that is biased.
No mention of the French whose land they were defending and who had the most deaths on the Western front.
Pioneer I had relatives who fought in the Belgian army and their experience seems similar. I think the disgusting situation on the front trenches was mostly comparable on al sides although the german army generally build better trenches. They all had to endure the endless torture of waiting for the next attack or artillery barrage for 4 long years. They all had to endure the no mans land and the mud and stench of bodies, the huge rats eating your uniform while you stand there. Every soldier on every front was just stuck in a never ending nightmare with no way out.
Oh, look! Another easily offended snowflake who has to find SOMETHING to be offended about everywhere.
This is crazy to imagine wars years back.
My grandfather was in ww1. I can only imagine the horrors he endured...đ„
