Hey everyone, sorry for the audio issue. I will get a new microphone set up as soon as possible!
Just duplicate the left channel to the right if you can. Easy fix for this video in the meantime.
@@MobileInstinct thank you for all your hard work with these amazing videos!!
You must've fixed it? I don't notice anything wrong with the audio
@@jellybear35 It's only on left channel.
I didn't have any problems with the audio. More please 🙏
How awful to spend 3 long years in those tunnels/trenches. Freezing in the winter, sweating terribly in the summer. With all that water around, the mosquitoes would have been wall to wall. Those men were so physically and mentally strong to have endured this. I know that many on both sides didn't ever see home again and their families didn't even have remains to bury in a lot of cases. My uncle fought in France and he never spoke of any of it. In his house, he had a large shell casing that he brought home. I was just a youngster back then and didn't ever ask about it. We cannot forget them...ever!! ❤🤍💙 Thank you for telling their story, Chris!!
I'm loving this series in Belgium I'm impressed, Chris with your thirst for knowledge and you're phenomenal way of explaining what we're all looking at. That has to be one tremendously exciting trip. Thanks for bringing us along on the tour
Glad you like them!
So glad these trenches are still there. This stuff needs to be in history books. Thanks Chris for another important fact of history.
It is. It’s called WW1.
@@Tobi-ln9xr ... I'm talking about the trenches. 🙄
@@Liz-cmc313
Trench warfare was a large part of WW1 and is also being taught in history books and classes.
Thank you, Chris!❤
Thanks Chris! I enjoyed this.
Whoa! Thanks for filming & sharing Chris!
Thanks Chris for your video. I enjoy history. And enjoy all your videos. You just have a very pleasant personality, relaxing to watch your videos. 🤗
I agree
Not to forget that the Germans used mustard gas and that there were also fraternizations and truces and that Germans celebrated Christmas together with the French/English or played a football match. That's why the commanders on both sides were regularly exchanged to keep morale high. There are books and films about it, one movie is called “Merry Christmas” from 2005.
Yeah that also happened on the eastern front between Germany and Russia.
Thank you, Chris, for another illustrative video. One cannot imagine the horrors that took place in those trenches.
Hope you're having a wonderful week
Hello Chris looking forward to this one
Great video Chris! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for a great video. Hope you are well and safe. Take care
Great video! Thank you!
Wow, another amazing video. Love how you’re traveling and sharing all this with us once again another great video. Keep up the great work.
good stuff as always
That location is censored on Google Maps....
It sure is!
That was incredible thanks so much. You are amazing historic facts and story telling about the battle
One of your best videos!
Wow..mind boggling 3 yrs? Great video..really enjoyed..P S. Where were the Latrines?
Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
A lasting reminder that war is hell. And we still haven't figured out how to stay out of it...
the strength of the soldiers to be able to stay there for 3 years is amazing. the things they've seen and heard must have been heartbreaking.
Trench foot too would've been awful.
Hello Chris, the bunker you thought was remade is actually original as well. The only thing non original in the trenh is the replacement of sand bags by concrete "bags" as you mentioned
Thank you for a great video and narration.
the walls are sacks of concrete stacked when still wet
They were sand bags, turned to concrete over the years.
Another great episode
Thanks Chris I always thought I would like to visit Belgium
Looks miserable! What they show now is dry, but those trenches were pits of mud, water, urine, excrement, blood, rotten food, dead bodies of men and beasts.
Would love to see you do a video series on the various locations for the first battle of Manassas in VA, especially the Old Stone House along Lee Hwy. Theres still the names of wounded soldiers carved into the floorboards and baseboards in some of the upstairs rooms from that battle, as it was used as a field hospital. I grew up in that area so would love to see you cover it if you haven't already done so! :)
That tunnel was like a little nature reserve 😁 great history and information thanks for showing us Chris 👍
I am completely blind so thank you for describing it so well it felt like I was there :-)
Awesome video!😎👍
Thanks for sharing 👍🤓
Trenches were zig-zagged/zippered so if an enemy got into the trench, they could not straight fire down a long straight line. Also if a shell, grenade, bomb, etc hit inside the trench, the shrapnel would be limited on travel distance.
I love this history it's so interesting to me. Thanks for sharing this one
Hi all. Let the good times roll.
Claustrophobic inside there , the heat / cold must of been pure hell 😖
Do the story of the missing 72 year old Annie Laurie Hearin. Her husband was the wealthiest man in the state. It happened in the 1980s. She was abducted from her own home. It may have been an inside job being only her close people new when and where she would be in the house.
I'm thinking it had to happen in Belgium too but the trenches in France added the decking cause they were losing so many soldiers to trench foot. You walk around in mud for a year or two you're gonna catch something,
Thank you for showing us this. Always wondered ( and it would make for a fantastic video) what was the greatest horror of each war, duration,fatalities? I.E. Trenches of WW1, Auschwitz WW2 or Russian front.
Andersonville of the Civil War.
Thanks so much for this. World War II or history is a favorite of mine.
This is not far from the IJzertoren.
How did the Germans build that under fire!! Also, 13:52 the Poppies are nice 🥀
Awesome history.
your recent videos have a weird audio thing where it only comes through the left channel
Ive been having a problem with my microphone. I ll buy a new one as soon as possible
@@MobileInstinct no worries, videos have been amazing regardless!
I wonder how the Germans even made that bunker being so close to the enemy. How did they pour the cement and all that without getting shot?
no audio on two different browsers
How did the Germans build that fort so close to the Belgium diggings without getting shot up ?
Are those sand bags or 1000s of rounded rocks?
Yeah, sand bags just turned to concrete over the years.
Hello.
Yes? Can we help you?
Chris you always say forget the light, most of your videos don't show very well without your light they're dim, next time please bring it would see much better, not the light from your phone it's frustrating
WW1 was in some ways worse than WW2.
Cool, but where's the graffiti?
Audio issues. No right channel.
My microphone is having issues. Gotta get a new one as soon as possible
Shave.
