Thanks. For bringing out this piece of History.
World War One was friggin harsh man
ALL wars are harsh and horrible, destroying the mind, spirit, and body of those who fought them.😢
Lest we forget@@gloriarangott8803
Somme was an utter butcher's shop, human.
Glad you survived 👏
Thank you Captain obvious. You've been promoted to Major for your keen observational skills.
Fascinating part of WW1 that not many including myself knew anything about. Thank you for the education.
Indeed I was also unfamiliar with with this event too ..WP 4 LIFE
Terrible wars...but still we continue new ones, we never learn...
And we never will
Human nature at least with the war in Ukraine people can see how it unfolded in our own time and perhaps gives us an insight into why our ancestors acted the way they did faced with the situations they found themselves in. History is weird in one way an insight in other ways a distraction from the present and until recently there was a self congratulatory gloating and sense of providence about the WW2 as ensuring our peace and order which we had gotten to taking for granted
I've always loved history especially mountaineering history the war for the dolomites the whole great war! So many great Mountaineers lost their lives
Due nonni che hanno combattuto me 1915 , erano nella cavalleria italiana , tutti e due medaglia d oro
Modern man at it's craziest... 😐😔
A wonderful historical coverage video of undermines and tunnels fighting during WW1 ...
Thank you for taking the time to speak about this one kind of documentary about the World War one 😮of the world of mankind and its all about the World War 2, and nothing more complicated than that one message from the TimeLine and History Hit Vault and others as well-designed. 😮Thank you.
My grandfather was in WWI but only talked about WWII.
The rotting feet and lice...
Going to watch this video & learn something new.
I can’t think of a worse place to fight. The poor buggers on both sides
0:00: 💔 The video discusses the intense battles and underground explosion on Blood Mountain during World War I in the Dolomite mountain range.
6:39: 📚 Uncle Pepino and his father fought in wars and had a strong connection to their Garibaldi ancestry.
12:40: 💥 The video discusses the development of the Maxim machine gun and the devastating impact of artillery in Modern Warfare.
18:48: ❄ The video discusses the defense of a tiny impregnable spot on a hillside during the harsh winter of 1915.
25:56: 🚧 The original tunnel was small and easily hidden, making it ideal for the purpose of driving through with picks instead of drills.
31:30: 💣 Soldiers knew they were in danger of being blown up and said their goodbyes before a mine explosion on Blood Mountain.
38:16: 😱 Soldiers trapped in a tunnel after an explosion and faced certain death.
Recap by Tammy AI
Thanks for the breakdown Tammy AI!
I grew up in South Tyrol and my school was named after Tschurtschenthaler. I remember articles in our local newspaper "Dolomiten" about finding many lost soldiers from WW1 due to the glaciers melting
At 13:00 - the Maxim was recoil-operated, not gas-operated - unlike, say, the Lewis gun pictured somewhat earlier.
Great video but damn some of the sound design is cheesy af
Whoa first one here!! And first comment!!
U want a cookie 😂 🤡
Aaaannnnnnnnnnulucky
Apparently. Here, have a tin medal.
Throughout history many times have people declared well fine if we can't have it No one Will.
People used to eat small pieces of the Dolomites, because they had the perfect balance of calcium and magnesium - built strong bones and teeth and muscles. Dolomite tablets now called.
Does anyone know anything about the man in the picture at the end who seems to have lost his entire lower body?
Wonder if the Guiseppe Garibaldi fella that returned to Italy from Australia made mettwurst...
Whenever I see the word “Dolomites” I think that it is an extinct ancient people , or something that grows between toes. Then I remember the mountains 🏔️
It sounds like an insult to me kinda like troglodyte lol
All war is stupid
It was the storm of the Century?
Sounds like normal weather reporting today sadly
Isn’t this in battlefield 1?
Monte Grappa
Man we'll go to the ends of the earth to kill stuff won't we.
Dolomites always reminds me of those horrible triumph cars
Germany was on the losing end in both WORLD WARS!!! Ummmm.... go figure.
So?

Thank you for the video, I found out that investing is not for everybody, you just need a strong stomach too see your portfolio go down. It might be wiser for a novice to start with copy trading investing, but it is not easy. To invest in growth stocks it is another level, definitely you need to know what are you doing.
From my own point of view, you need to invest smartly if you need the good things of life. so far i've made over $255k in raw profits from just 6 months into the market from my diversified portfolio strategy and i believe anyone can do it you have the right strategy, mutual funds takes long time but investing smartly is the key for short term. Most of us tend to pay more attention to the shiniest position in the market to the cost of proper diversification.
This is a phenomenal advice for a new stock traders and investors who want that quick short term game, but don't see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I've been solely investing in real estate. But with the recent hyper home pricing i've liquidated a few things and have $45k in cash laying around idle. Would love to get your recommendations, I'm in search of something lucrative in the current crazy markets, i will be glad.
My portfolio is very much diversified so it's not like i have a particular fund i invest in, plus i dont do that by myself. i follow the trades of Mrs Karen Gaye Gray.
She is a popular broker you might have heard of. I can correctly say she's worth her salt as a financial advisor as her diversification skills are top notch, because i see that in her results as my portfolio grows by averages of 10 to 15% on a monthly basis, unlike i can say for my IRA which has just been trudging along, my portfolio just mirrors what she trades and not just on some particular industries of my choosing.
