In 1917, France almost accidentally executed one of their OWN greatest soldiers. Fortunately, he lived-and his story ended up being so crazy that if Hollywood made a movie on it, people would complain about it being TOO unrealistic…

Hey everyone! Starting next Wednesday (October 4th), all future Hidden Stories will be migrating to a new, separate channel for clarity and simplicity. All of the current stories will still remain up on this channel, but all new videos moving forward will be posted on the new "Hidden Stories" RUclips channel here: www.youtube.com/@hiddenstoriesYT. If you want to continue keeping up with the weekly stories and my Hidden Stories series, subscribe to this new channel ✌
DONE!!! I'm subscriber #7!!!!
WOOP WOOP!! 🎉🎉🎉
@@cannablissdreams danggg haha! #7 is insane, you'll look back one day and that number will be quite a bit higher hopefully 😆 here from day 1
Im Sub 11@@andyyjiang
I just missed top 10
You Should Upload the old videos on this channel
when you are so OP in the first season that the screenwriters decides to kill you off randomly and 5 months before the sequel starts, just to prolong the series.
As a French, thanks you for sharing this story, I didn’t know at all about him
im france too and i want to say merci for telling this story

Since you're French I have a question for you. Do you think Andy speaks French? It sounds like he has an accent or something when he's saying the names of people and places.
@@kristaprice1954 I think he might have taken French courses because his pronunciation, which is overall really good, with for example his Rs, but he’s not fluent.
@@kristaprice1954 idk
Man, that’s insane… what an incredible human being and ridiculously courageous solider 😮❤ and on one hand, so tragic that after all that, he was killed by a speeding car on his way home… but on the other hand, I’m so happy for him and his family that he survived fulfilling what he (rightly so) declared was his destiny, and that he was able to see 20 years of peace and a new life after the war, and glad that he received the recognition for his insane contributions to his country.
On a separate note, good to know about the Hidden Stories new channel happening! Hope you’ll put out a trailer or something to make more people aware of the move-I only noticed your comment about it here by chance when I popped in to leave my comment ❤ looking forward to more stories-you’re an incredibly talented researcher and storyteller, my dude 😊 👏
i’ve never seen a truer comment
This story absolutely blew me away actually!! Like I know a lot about WW1 as it’s very instrumental in WW2 so to hear this story only for the main character to die in the same year WW2 started is crazy to me. Who knows, maybe when WW2 started and if had not died he would be in a commanding position in the French army because that man has some serious skill and thank you so much for telling us this story Andy, it really is a sight to behold!! See you next week and keep up the absolutely amazing work!!
if he was offered it he seems like the kind of guy who would reject it, kinda like private smithy of the AIF
You're one of the best true-story creators, and a breath of fresh air. I love your spirit. Wishing you much success.
I agree with your sentiments 100%!!!!
I agree with you. His content is amazing
Bros out here casually dropping the best stories ever
It's sad to think how many Albert-'s there are out there, that weren't quite as fortunate to get the recognition. He has been so close to not making it for numerous reasons, that there's probably 1000 soliders with more fascinating stories, but more tragic endings.
Sabaton has a song about this soldier! It's called "The First Soldier" and I highly recommend everyone give it a listen b/c it's a great song!

This dude went from prisoner to no, you’re the prisoner that’s insane
Imagine you and 41 of your army mates getting kidnapped by your kidnapper, and his wounded friend
I used your link for Better Help! Thank you! Your openness and honesty is wonderful to hear. I actually started feeling better after the first session. Just sharing what was weighing on me was a great help, but I still meet weekly with the therapist and my husband. Great customer service, too. They’ll extend subscription date if a conflict arises and you can’t make appointment that week. And another great story! Thank you, Andy!
This almost happened to me, but it was my own platoon that almost pushed me to suicide and I was damaged for life and the VA won't even talk to me or never have given me anything the military said they would and since I am rated at 100% disabled the VA thinks it knows 100% of what I went through, but the military never asked me any questions and I have never told any doctors what happened, but the VA has told me if I wanted to talk to someone about my military experiences that I would have to pay a private doctor and now I keep civilian female doctors tell me "I know," when I said I wanted to talk about what I went through in the army, but after I am so deeply insulted and then they send me away.
Before the war he wanted more and ran away from home.
The war to end all wars had called his name,
Outcast, an unlikely solider, barely worth his uniform,
Emerging as a devil dressed in blue
Be the lone survivor in the trenches in Alsace
ONE MAN HOLDS THE LINE
only thing this video need is “the first soldier” by sabaton in the background
Literally almost killed by a soldier, ended up killed in an accidents sounds insane to me.
I cant get enough of your story telling and the editing of the videos, its so good!
I normally don’t do this but since you were talking about giga chad soldiers I thought, why not one on Kurt Chew-Een Lee. He was a Asian American soldier who fought in the Korean War.
The stories are always entertaining, informative and presented spectacularly! keep up the good work because i love watching this series!
SO addicted to your EPIC talent for storytelling… Thanks for keeping these stories ALIVE!! 🎉🎉
Ready for another addition to your Hidden Stories, Andy! Great story teller
Man i love your stories so much!! Your wayy too underrated. Hopefully one day you get the recognition you certainly deserve!
Thank you so much for talking about Albert Roche! He was such a hero, he deserves to be (more) celebrated and famous!
From the south to the front to the battlefield

Andy!!!! I'm WEEPING!! what a great story!!!! thank you for keeping Albert's AMAZING history alive!!! your Hidden Stories is a hidden GEM!! great job Andy!!! absolutely excellent
bot
If he would not die. He would most likely fight the Germans during WWII aswell. What a Legend RIP.
Super true.
Humanity really said no to him living
What an amazing man amd an amazing story!! Thank you for sharing it. This is definitely one of my favorites, so far.
Thank you Andy for another well narration of an excellent Hidden Story. Excellent work.

bro, your story telling is something else, the way that you tell a story is so insanely good
the first solider from saboton depicted this perfectly

That’s a great story. Americas most decorated soldier, Audie Murphy, was 5’5.5” 112 lbs when he enlisted at 17 years old. And then there was 4,9” Richard Flaherty who was a Vietnam vet called the “Giant Killer” in the army special forces. Short Kings!!!!!
Your videos are simply amazing. You can just feel the effort put into them.
I watch one of these almost every night and have a story to tell for my friends the next day at school :)
Thank you for this intriguing, amazing story. Subscribed to your new channel 🥀
I think this is one of the best stories i have listened to from you. And i love the way you say Albert 😊
Thanks Andy another great story from a fabulous story teller. I just subscribed to the new channel.
It’s kinda sad that this only has 70k views, this is amazing, you deserve better!!! Keep going!
Andy is becoming such a huge comunicator that you almost can mute the video and understand his words, or you can gaze away and easily the story he tells will unfold in your mind like a movie
Another amazing hidden story !
i really found your videos interesting! keep up!
I usually don't care much for war stories, but this was a top notch tale! Talk about a case of SMS (short man syndrome) yet this was in a great way.
Albert needs a movie about his life!
For sure. There is a song about him though. The first soldier by Sabaton, look it up!
yeah its called john wick.
This guy has the best storytelling skills ive ever seen
47th subscriber, sir. Thanks for all the fantastic entertainment, I always like to start my Wednesday with you
very good story , God bless bro.
Andy I appreciate your work. Thank you. 🎉
Great story thank you!
I always see your shorts but never checked out your channel. You are great story teller
He was doing so little surrendering, the high command doubted he was really french.
🤣
So funny and so original...
😂
@@AlexRonai true
Andy i like all the hand motions you do
i really enjoy these longer videos, sad that they dont get as many views as the shorts, even if its higher quality
I know a story about someone similar to Noche. The White Death himself, Simo Häyha. He was a short guy like Noche (but Simo was 5 feet 2.9 inches) he was a bit underestimated but he "made the Soviets jealous to their core"
Honestly, unsurprising that France happened to fight that well against its own soldiers
I love these vids so much
What an ANIMAL! R.I.P. Albert.
Thank you for the video before work.
love your transition from short form content to long form
This man is the definition of looking both ways crossing the road and then going to hit by a plane
Wow that was a wonderful story thanks for all your wonderful and informative content
Albert took "never judge a book by its cover" literally, also great story.
This guy sounds like he was a descendant of Napoleon Bonaparte
You have one of the best intros on YT broski.
This video needs to be more popular
subscribed to the new channel! amazing content btw.
I've never heard of him, but this really needs to be a movie; I'd definitely watch this *_superhero_* movie _a few times!!_ 🎬
I was waiting for the "Alberto however wasn't ready for the true horror of war" bit.
Truly an amazing gentleman!
i love this guy's storytelling
Short kings; a toast to our messiah, Albert Roche "The First Soldier".
ONE MAN HOLD THE LINE!!
As a French i dident even know this story thanks for giving me more knowledge of us.
Bro that soldier went savage fr💀💀
While I was watching this, I was imagining parts of the story. It genuinely would be a good movie.
I am always here to watch your hidden stories
From the south to the front into no man’s land
From a farm to the end of the road
Son of France he is the first on the frontline
Coming home
Coming home, let his story be known
"oh no! they've accused us of a crime what will we do!"
"there is nothing we can do..."
What happened to Hidden Stories? I can’t find any recent ones anywhere. I love the series and will always want to hear more.
He made a new channel for these videos called “hidden stories” but he hasn’t posted in like 4 months
@hiddenstoriesyt
Sorry i am late but i have yet to miss one of your videos not starting now
The fact that he turned in over 1000 German soldiers in total mostly by himself is saying something, it's crazy how 1 man can get an entire darn squad to surrender to him!
I love the accent when he says “alberte”
I love the way you read us books ❤❤❤.
His hand motions r the best🤣
Great job! Absolutely love the way you tell stories
Damn bro capturing 1000 Germans who were already imprisoned is crazy.

Its a crazy story and honestly...
Too good to believe. Its just too good.
Best video is this 😮
the random bits of lore of your dad's past that he randomly adds in a conversation:
Thanks to you my family gets to hear alot of great stories, and i want to be exactly like you but English is my second language, and I'm not that good at it
You seem good to me
@@Nicole-tv7hy thanks 😊
What words do you struggle with? You have good English
@@Treebutstupid with pronouncing long words btw I'm 13
@@origov773 Oh, you speak very good English for a 13 year old!
This is how I imagine in war, but I'd be under the bus shivering in fear lol
"BUT I SAVED HIM!"
Soldiers:- yeah right bro
Captain:- YEAH RIGHT BRO!
Soldiers:- What the fu-
Andy do you have sources for this informaton? I would love to see them : )
WWI is such an interesting topic yet so cruel
these stories are always great if you are doing homework or doing hobbies(for me i just solve my biggest rubik's cube)
What his father’s reaction? What was his family’s whole reaction to him being in the war, and becoming a veteran after?
Don't forget the ones that love this long format of videos!! 😢
They should really have some tiny people soldiers. Great sneaking around.
Yes
I just saw the thumbnail and not the title and i was like:
The end of the story tells us enjoy your live as loong as you can enjoy every year every month every day and every minute and so seconds of it. you never know when it will end
Waw what an amazing story
