The part about Arthur Pearson was so beautiful, I've never heard of this man before and I'm happy you introduced his work to me. It's one of those things that gives you that hopeful feeling for humanity
Week after week, the news of the Great War is full of horror, stubbornness, tragedy: of selfless service, desperate ingenuity, absurd chaos. This report on the efforts of Arthur Pearson, the story of Marie Curie's work, and above all the episode on facial prosthetics touched my heart and brought me to tears. In the middle of Modern War, here are a few shining spots of hope. Thank you for telling of them.
Always wanted to know a little more about rockets used in the Great War. Because I've only encountered one or two mentions in a really old book I've read a few times and that's it. Nice job.
Hey Indy and crew, question to OUT OF THE TRENCHES:. How do you end a trench? Because it got to end somewhere, I'm guessing either ad the sea or a neutral country like Switzerland. Did the soldiers whom fought at the seaside have any problems with the tide, enemy naval vessels or flanking swimming soldiers. The flanking issue also apply to the trenches whom ends on land. What did neutral nations do to insure that both side of the war staid out of there borders and was it affective?
a little known fact is that the wonderful actor Claude Rains (Louis in Casablanca) was a WW1 vet who was crippled by a gas attack. it was what gave his acting voice that wonderful gravelly sound but he was blind in one eye.
Question for OOTT: I know that the Germans used U-Boats to sink a lot of allied commercial shipping, but what I want to know is why some of them weren't used to potentially smuggle essential goods into Germany such food and the like, if you can answer this, I would be very grateful, I have been watching your channel since 2016 and you have inspired me to read up more about WWI, thank you for teaching me more about this conflict and I hope everyone at the great war team has a wonderful day, and everyone reading this comment also have a wonderful day.
I would love to hear your take on Dalton Trumbos "Johnny Got His Gun" and how realistically it approached the catastrophically wounded in and post war care?
Hello, Indy and crew, greetings from Pittsburgh, Pa. I have a question for OOTD: how did soldiers go about capturing enemy troops? Could an advance through a line of trenches be stopped in certain places in order to keep POWs under control or did the captured soldiers simply wait until the fighting stopped and they could be taken back to enemy lines by some other unit? Keep up the great work and thanks to everyone for making such an excellent series
The picture of the blinded veteran at the end of the video pains my heart to see and realize that something similar still happening to veterans of today what a waste of lives of a generation worth of mankind
So interesring to here about braille watches, I just never thought about how a blind person would tell the time. Also I don't know what I expected, but Braille watches are so reltively expensive! Hope there some sort of discount or free ones from the governement, I don't know about.
John Doe well the cheapest ones I was finding was ~ £300. But I have a few questions, 1. how did you read this comment? 2. how do you see your phones time? 3. seen as 75% of blind or legally blind are unemployed, I'd find it a horrible dis service to those people to let them fend for themselves, when it is obviously going to be incredibly hard in all aspects and add to that fork out extra money that could supply there food for a couple of weeks, over something as simply as a watch. 4 no study has ever showed helping out blind people is a dangerous mentality, actually I find your world view a lot more dangerous. 5 I understand your American so you don't understand that everything isn't a zero sum game and that healthcare is a right not a for profit industry. 6 But hey we'd better get rid of wheel chair ramps and schools for the blind, they can just get along with society. Make there standard of living as horrible and detremental as possible, so that even going to the shops can take hours just because we're not allowed to care about you. Oh and that is all because anything supplied by the government is bad just cause it is, no real reason, the fake reason touted is used to deflect from the actual conversation that trys to make the person advocating look bad as there saying desabled are helpless when obviously that isn't even the topic at hand. I know this probably won't cahange your views but for an example why helping people out is benificial, just take the deaf community for example, when sign language was banned and they were only taught to lip read that messed up deaf peoples lives so much (mentally as they couldn't process things in there brain as they had no language), it became classed as a mental disorder. Now that is a possibility your viewpoint has created and could create in the future please rethink your position.
A question for out of the trenches: I was wondering what happened to left handers,like myself, in the Great War as in were they made to shoot right handed or could they shoot left handed and If the were made to shoot right handed how was it enforced and did it really matter in the heat of an attack or defence - thanks (ps hello the Great War crew and give the camera man a raise)
I'm fairly certain they'd be drilled into firing right-handed. The guns of the time were right-handed models, ejecting the spent cartridges to the right - if you fired them left-handed, you end up with hot brass in your face.
They learnt to shoot right handed. And yes, it did matter. The rifles were designed for right handed shooters so to operate the bolt, which is one the right, a left handed shooter would have to reach over the rifle or tilt it to operate the bolt. This is slower, clumsier and more awkward than learning to shoot right handed.
Hey Indy and team, here's my question for OOTT: Why did the British and French not use the German retreat to the Siegfried line in 1917 to launch an attack? Surely they must have noticed the construction of it using reconnaissance planes and spies? Thanks in advance and keep up the great work.
Question for "Out of the Trenches," I would love for you guys to do an update on the man whose fault it is that we have this damn war. I know Gavrilo Princip is in prison. Does he know about the carnage taking place? Does he know what has happened in Serbia? Has he expressed any regrets about the assassination? Has he made any comments on his role in all of this?
A possible question for out of the trenches, a while back I got the privilege to go on a us carrier in the United States biggest naval yard (Norfolk) I was wondering in Europe. What was the condition of naval yards and their ships within them, were the ships at threat in them becoming targets or was it like tag and and being on base, also were any of the naval yards so significant that they were an essential element in the war by themselves?
I already knew there were rockets because of Battlefield 1. In the Nivelle Nights map you can fire one although they are just for seeing where the enemies are.
Hey Indy and crew. A question for out of the trenches Which side first deployed barbed wire?. And which side had the best rifles for the harsh conditions of the trenches?. Love the show keep up the amazing work!!! Love from Australia
Hey Indy and crew, heres a question for you; what are some of the greatest lingering mysteries about The Great War? Were there any events or artifacts that still puzzle us today? Keep up the great work!
Hi Indy. I was wondering since that Belgium was occupied by Germans how did this affect the remaining or surviving Belgian troops who continued to fight on even though their country was taken over by Germany.
in 1914 the Belgian king kept his army together falling back before the onslaught rather than leaving them to defend smaller areas. Eventually they held onto a small portion of Belgian soil on the Yser river (sp?) They flooded the plains before them to stop the germ,ans and settled into what was a fairly quiet sector for the next four years, supplied by their allies and holding on a small strip of native soil, slowly reinforced by Belgian men who escaped from occupied soil. After amien they will go on the offensive and liberate substancial portions of their homeland.
Golden Eagle : They fought like badgers. If no other army wanted you, The Belgians would welcome you, they accepted tens of thousands of Congolese, and anyone else who showed up. Belgians remained thorn in the side of Germany for the entire war.
Can you make an episode about Thai Army please? I’ve found only few info’ about it and I want to learn more about the Thai that fought in Europe from you. Thanks :)
I've been really enjoying your channel, I find it by accident and have watched it every day since I've been wondering if you have any videos on WW1 aircraft and air tactics, if you don't have any do you plan on doing any in the future?
Question for OTT: Hi Indy and crew love your show and keep up the great work. Since insulin was discovered in 1925 what would happen to soldiers with the disease?
Assuming it´s Le Prieur on the photo immediately following his portrait (at 1:21), those rockets are attached to the wing struts, not the canvas; witch sounds like an incredibly hazardous idea considering it´s flammable propeties.
Dear indy and team, with the end of the war coming, I would love for you and your team to do some film reviews on WW1 films and give your historical review on em. Maybe even collaborate with Historybuffs again for that? Hope to see this on out the trenches or ether after 4 years with ur channel.
Question for OOTT: What was farming like in Europe during WW1? Was a lot of farm land affected by the war? Were farmers forced to provide the necessary food or were they payed for it? Finally, who worked the farms? Many countries lost alot of young men who would work these fields. Sorry for the run on question.
I wish more organizations that helped the disabled had Sir Arthur Pearson's philosophy. That encouraged the disabled to learn skills that would not only make them productive in society, but earn back their sense of self worth and independence in a way which wasn't superficial.
Hey love the show, question: The use of Marines in the war, were they like you see these days, storming the beaches, or did they have another role to do with its Navy as well?
A question,maybe two. 1.) Out of all of the Generals of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, I've only heard of Austrian generals as of any record. I have never heard of any Hungarian generals. Were there any to begin with and who were the most well known amongst the Central Powers? 2.)again ,background or anything about the actions or battles the French Navy partook in during the war.
Hello Indy and crew, a question for OOTT: Why were the casualties at the Battle Of Verdun not higher than those at the Battle of the Somme as it went on for much longer and was just as violent? Didn’t both the French and the Germans consider Verdun to be more valuable? If not, then why? Hello from Canada and keep up the great work!
Question for out of the trenches: what was the role that play egypt during the war in know that it was a British protectorate and that there is some battle but no more. Q2: what happen to Abdulhamid2(the sultan that was deposed by the young turks) during the war and what was his reaction after that the ottomans entered the war
leprier rockets werent attached to the linen of aircraft as that would automatically ignite the already flammable fabric. they were attached to the wing struts.
When the Great War reaches 11 November 2018 what will you do next I am hoping that you do another series on another less talked about war in the Korean War my grandfather served in the royal artillery but since he has passed I will never no what it was like over there so I was hoping when this great show for a Great War ends you would be thinking of doing the Korean War but I’m sure what ever you do next will be great!
Hi Indy and crew, I have a question. Were semiautomatic rifles issued in any quantity during the Great War? As far as I know, they never left the experimental stage and weren't issued. Thanks for making such an amazing show!
Do you count the Winchester 95 with the cowboy style repeater mechanism as semi automatic? Seems more like the thing we'd have in mind today than any bolt action rifle... (and those were used in various armies like Russia, I believe Finnland had lots of them too, China did use some... and various smaller nations that had no direct ties to the bigger european weapons producers like Germany, France or Britain) To see more about early self loading rifles of all factions in that war (or almost all factions, i think the Ottomans never had a noteworthy armament industry, neither did the tiny states like Albania and Montenegro) i'd recommend going through the back catalogue of "Forgotten weapons", Ian has gotten his hands on an ASTONISHING number of experimental 1910s attempts to design self loading rifles. Was a lot easier for pistols, those had been selfloading since 1900-ish...
Hey Indy, a question for Out Of The Trenches. After the war had finished were there any soldiers/regiments that kept fighting? Wether that be to lack of information, denial or any other reason?
Been following your channel for the past 4 years and I finally have a question. We’re soldiers of the different armies allowed to customize their weapons or use their own? If so, what kind of customization was used?
Question for out of the trenches What were gloves made out and were they common? We hear alot about boots and stuff, due to trenchfoot and other things. But hands were also important. Since gloves protect against cold weather. (So basically what material, were they thick, where they common or a luxury)
Hello Andy, do you know anything about prison camps in the Donetzk Basin or in Siberia ? My Grandpa was imprisoned there and the conditions where horrible. He mentioned a Place in Siberia called Nikolsk Ussurik.
A question to Out the Trenches: (First of all don't try read my name... is a portuguese one) How much the animals used in WW1 are vaccinated and if had the possibility to spread diseases in the war camp? And could you speak a bit about the codecorations of this animals after the War? Thanks guys to the great videos and keep continue. Greetings from Brazil!
I am loocking for some ww1 books too read. Got some Tips?? (Btw i already read all quiet on the Westernfront and the Road Back from Erich Maria Remarque)
Hey guys question for you about the German soldiers in Africa how did they get home and what impact did they have on the overall war (sorry if you guys already covered this)
Question for the Chair of Wisdom; Could the 1916 Easter Rising be considered part of WW1? Given the contact between Germany and the IRB and the smuggled arms consignment (through Casement), had it succeeded and achieved independence, it could open up a corridor for invading England (similar to the Spanish Armada 400 years prior)
Hey Indy, I was curious if you could give some information about what happened to disfigured WWI soldiers when Hitler came to power. Being a WWI Vet. himself did he give sympathy to those who didnt fair or did he mark them as failures? This may be out of the scope of the show but it has been a question with little answers to me. Thank you kindly Indy and crew!
Questions for OOTT, What were roles for Latino-Americans during the Great War? Was discrimination in the U.S. Military? Who were the most famous historical figures during the war? Greetings from Dallas, Tx.
A QUESTION FOR OUT OF THE TRENCHES To the scholar Indy, While no technological terror is a match for the power of the Force, when deploying with my legion of stormtroopers who are not Force sensitive we utilize the AT-AT walker for assaulting rebel bases. Did any side in your "Great War" experiment with tall walking vehicles or anything besides your primitive tanks to cross no man's land and assault enemy trenches? Also, this Konrad von Hötzendorf reminds me of a general i once knew in the Gungan army. With regards from a galaxy far far away, Darth Vader Lord of the Sith Commander of the 501st Stormtrooper Legion
i'm kind of surprised australian government wasn't prepared considering they treated their soldiers best (considering the fact that they didn't allow any executions even for soldiers found guilty of desertion)
A Question for out of the trenches: What Happened with camera men of the Great War. When did they take pictures. Did they live in the same or better conditions than the soldiers? Or would one side just yell “Hey! Don’t kill this guy!”
Under the siege of Copenhagen in 1807 the English fired 300 Congreve Rockets at the city to initiate fires. Later used under the civil war between England and the american colonies.
Jan Mortensen How is that relevent to the video? and I wouldn't call the American revolution a civil war. I'm also pretty sure England was no longer a country by that point.
Karl Karlos It is. A ww2 era german rocket launcher is called Nebelwerfer, fog thrower. I figured it was due to it leaving big smoketrails, or lobbing smoke munitions. But now I've learned of a German rocketry guy named Nebel, and wonder if the weapon was nicknamed after him. Much like Stalin's organ.
This is for out of the trenches, how do we know Stalin was at the battle of Tsarityn or did he just take credit for that victory and used that to advance in favour of the soviet party
they discussed this... there is a fundraiser so they can make a WW2 one :) if you google it, you should be able to find out more about it, and donate if you can :)
Question for OOT: hi indy is there any ghost stories or report in the trenches? im wondering if some soldier see ghostly figures either in the trench or in no mans land in the night? listening post work at night so if there is any report or ghost stories, i think most likely came from them
Blindness is one of most people's greatest fears. I am glad someone tried to do what he could for the blinded.

Hey Indy and crew, question to OUT OF THE TRENCHES:.
How do you end a trench? Because it got to end somewhere, I'm guessing either ad the sea or a neutral country like Switzerland. Did the soldiers whom fought at the seaside have any problems with the tide, enemy naval vessels or flanking swimming soldiers. The flanking issue also apply to the trenches whom ends on land. What did neutral nations do to insure that both side of the war staid out of there borders and was it affective?
The bit about Arthur Pearson was heartwarming. He sounds like he was a great man.
i live round the corner from St Dunstans, great to hear them talked about, they are now a charity called Blind Veterans UK, and do fantastic work.
a little known fact is that the wonderful actor Claude Rains (Louis in Casablanca) was a WW1 vet who was crippled by a gas attack. it was what gave his acting voice that wonderful gravelly sound but he was blind in one eye.
Question for OOTT: I know that the Germans used U-Boats to sink a lot of allied commercial shipping, but what I want to know is why some of them weren't used to potentially smuggle essential goods into Germany such food and the like, if you can answer this, I would be very grateful, I have been watching your channel since 2016 and you have inspired me to read up more about WWI, thank you for teaching me more about this conflict and I hope everyone at the great war team has a wonderful day, and everyone reading this comment also have a wonderful day.

Ever since clicking like and subscribing all my wildest dreams have indeed come true.
The picture of the blinded veteran at the end of the video pains my heart to see and realize that something similar still happening to veterans of today what a waste of lives of a generation worth of mankind
Wars waste lives. Mostly lives of young people who lose all their future.
Most wars being fought now are actually being fought for a better cause for example the war on terror
So interesring to here about braille watches, I just never thought about how a blind person would tell the time. Also I don't know what I expected, but Braille watches are so reltively expensive! Hope there some sort of discount or free ones from the governement, I don't know about.
Golden Eagle I have seen a few videos from the tommy edison experience. But I'll definetly check it out!
John Doe well the cheapest ones I was finding was ~ £300. But I have a few questions, 1. how did you read this comment? 2. how do you see your phones time? 3. seen as 75% of blind or legally blind are unemployed, I'd find it a horrible dis service to those people to let them fend for themselves, when it is obviously going to be incredibly hard in all aspects and add to that fork out extra money that could supply there food for a couple of weeks, over something as simply as a watch. 4 no study has ever showed helping out blind people is a dangerous mentality, actually I find your world view a lot more dangerous. 5 I understand your American so you don't understand that everything isn't a zero sum game and that healthcare is a right not a for profit industry. 6 But hey we'd better get rid of wheel chair ramps and schools for the blind, they can just get along with society.

Your name and your pfp contradict each other lel
A question for out of the trenches: I was wondering what happened to left handers,like myself, in the Great War as in were they made to shoot right handed or could they shoot left handed and If the were made to shoot right handed how was it enforced and did it really matter in the heat of an attack or defence - thanks (ps hello the Great War crew and give the camera man a raise)
Back then left handed people were forced to write with their right hand, same with shooting
I'm fairly certain they'd be drilled into firing right-handed. The guns of the time were right-handed models, ejecting the spent cartridges to the right - if you fired them left-handed, you end up with hot brass in your face.
They learnt to shoot right handed. And yes, it did matter. The rifles were designed for right handed shooters so to operate the bolt, which is one the right, a left handed shooter would have to reach over the rifle or tilt it to operate the bolt. This is slower, clumsier and more awkward than learning to shoot right handed.
Cheers to all you lot for that
My friend is a left-handed ninja who uses left-handed nunchuks.
Hey Indy and team, here's my question for OOTT: Why did the British and French not use the German retreat to the Siegfried line in 1917 to launch an attack? Surely they must have noticed the construction of it using reconnaissance planes and spies? Thanks in advance and keep up the great work.

Does he know about the carnage taking place? Does he know what has happened in Serbia? Has he expressed any regrets about the assassination? Has he made any comments on his role in all of this?
It's working! All my dreams are coming true!
Thanks, Indy and team!
I've just made some toasters with eggs and cheese, with nuts and honey. You men as always at the right moment. Thx for the great content. Cheers! :)
A possible question for out of the trenches, a while back I got the privilege to go on a us carrier in the United States biggest naval yard (Norfolk) I was wondering in Europe. What was the condition of naval yards and their ships within them, were the ships at threat in them becoming targets or was it like tag and and being on base, also were any of the naval yards so significant that they were an essential element in the war by themselves?
Bio-special for Mannerheim would be interesting, since he was the only man to get iron cross during the great war after fighting against germany.
Excited for this episode
This episode was shorter than the career of the '80s one-hit wonder band The Vapors.
Actually, no... they only had a single sub-4 minute hit.
Robert Cains Turning Japanese? That song is terrible.
Indiana Neidell You're lucky: when *I* was 13 or 14, I saw the end of '90s grunge and the birth of nu metal. Blegh.
I already knew there were rockets because of Battlefield 1. In the Nivelle Nights map you can fire one although they are just for seeing where the enemies are.
Abian36
And attack planes use Le Prieur rockets.
Akane Miyoshi True, forgot about those
Battlefield 1 is not historically accurate
Hey Indy and crew. A question for out of the trenches Which side first deployed barbed wire?. And which side had the best rifles for the harsh conditions of the trenches?. Love the show keep up the amazing work!!! Love from Australia
Hey Indy and crew, heres a question for you; what are some of the greatest lingering mysteries about The Great War? Were there any events or artifacts that still puzzle us today? Keep up the great work!

i saw a post on facebook about tgw doing on the location thing answering your question
Golden Eagle : They fought like badgers. If no other army wanted you, The Belgians would welcome you, they accepted tens of thousands of Congolese, and anyone else who showed up. Belgians remained thorn in the side of Germany for the entire war.
Can you make an episode about Thai Army please? I’ve found only few info’ about it and I want to learn more about the Thai that fought in Europe from you. Thanks :)
I've been really enjoying your channel, I find it by accident and have watched it every day since

Question for OTT: Hi Indy and crew love your show and keep up the great work. Since insulin was discovered in 1925 what would happen to soldiers with the disease?
Assuming it´s Le Prieur on the photo immediately following his portrait (at 1:21), those rockets are attached to the wing struts, not the canvas; witch sounds like an incredibly hazardous idea considering it´s flammable propeties.
I don't want this show to end ;-;
The show will end with cristmas
Wonder if this channel will discuss how the unresolved issues from this conflict would lead to Part II.
Thank you for introducing me to Sir Arthur Pearson. It sounds like he did valuable work. Makes me detest this war even more, though.
Dear indy and team, with the end of the war coming, I would love for you and your team to do some film reviews on WW1 films and give your historical review on em. Maybe even collaborate with Historybuffs again for that?
Hope to see this on out the trenches or ether after 4 years with ur channel.
This one is gonna go viral

I haven’t been this early since the the 7 th battle on the izonzo river
Hey love the show, question: The use of Marines in the war, were they like you see these days, storming the beaches, or did they have another role to do with its Navy as well?
Hey, I don't know if you guys saw it when I suggested it before, but you should do a special or OOTT on tattoos of WWI. Also, Flo is awesome.
A question,maybe two.
1.) Out of all of the Generals of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, I've only heard of Austrian generals as of any record. I have never heard of any Hungarian generals. Were there any to begin with and who were the most well known amongst the Central Powers?
2.)again ,background or anything about the actions or battles the French Navy partook in during the war.
Hello Indy and crew, a question for OOTT: Why were the casualties at the Battle Of Verdun not higher than those at the Battle of the Somme as it went on for much longer and was just as violent? Didn’t both the French and the Germans consider Verdun to be more valuable? If not, then why? Hello from Canada and keep up the great work!
Indiana Neidell that would make sense! Thanks for the info, as this question has been on my mind for a very long time.
editing a ww1 themed video when the notfication popped up! :DD
Best channel ever
Question for out of the trenches: what was the role that play egypt during the war in know that it was a British protectorate and that there is some battle but no more.
Q2: what happen to Abdulhamid2(the sultan that was deposed by the young turks) during the war and what was his reaction after that the ottomans entered the war
is Rudolf Nebel that guy who made the Nebelwerfer, that infamous artillery piece from world war 2?
Rudolf Nebel - inventor of the Nebelwerfer : )
Where large scale boobytraps ever used by fake retreating so the enemy would be caught off guard? Or something similar? Keep up the great show!
leprier rockets werent attached to the linen of aircraft as that would automatically ignite the already flammable fabric. they were attached to the wing struts.
When the Great War reaches 11 November 2018 what will you do next I am hoping that you do another series on another less talked about war in the Korean War my grandfather served in the royal artillery but since he has passed I will never no what it was like over there so I was hoping when this great show for a Great War ends you would be thinking of doing the Korean War but I’m sure what ever you do next will be great!
Hi Indy and crew, I have a question. Were semiautomatic rifles issued in any quantity during the Great War? As far as I know, they never left the experimental stage and weren't issued. Thanks for making such an amazing show!
Nathan Villiger the rsc rifle and the mexican móndragon were used. But they were unreliable in the mud.
Do you count the Winchester 95 with the cowboy style repeater mechanism as semi automatic? Seems more like the thing we'd have in mind today than any bolt action rifle... (and those were used in various armies like Russia, I believe Finnland had lots of them too, China did use some... and various smaller nations that had no direct ties to the bigger european weapons producers like Germany, France or Britain)
To see more about early self loading rifles of all factions in that war (or almost all factions, i think the Ottomans never had a noteworthy armament industry, neither did the tiny states like Albania and Montenegro) i'd recommend going through the back catalogue of "Forgotten weapons", Ian has gotten his hands on an ASTONISHING number of experimental 1910s attempts to design self loading rifles. Was a lot easier for pistols, those had been selfloading since 1900-ish...
Rudolf Nebel. Is that where he name of the Nebelwerfer used in WWII came from?
CNIB the Canadian National Institute of the Blind, check it out, it was formed after the Halifax explosion.
Hey Indy, a question for Out Of The Trenches. After the war had finished were there any soldiers/regiments that kept fighting? Wether that be to lack of information, denial or any other reason?
Been following your channel for the past 4 years and I finally have a question. We’re soldiers of the different armies allowed to customize their weapons or use their own? If so, what kind of customization was used?
about Nebel- did he help develop the WW2 Nebel wuffer (sp?) the multi barrel rocketlauncher or was it named in his honor?
Question for out of the trenches
What were gloves made out and were they common? We hear alot about boots and stuff, due to trenchfoot and other things. But hands were also important. Since gloves protect against cold weather. (So basically what material, were they thick, where they common or a luxury)
Hi Andy you are amazing 😉
Sorry autocorrect
Hello Andy, do you know anything about prison camps in the Donetzk Basin or in Siberia ? My Grandpa was imprisoned there and the conditions where horrible. He mentioned a Place in Siberia called Nikolsk Ussurik.
A question to Out the Trenches: (First of all don't try read my name... is a portuguese one) How much the animals used in WW1 are vaccinated and if had the possibility to spread diseases in the war camp? And could you speak a bit about the codecorations of this animals after the War? Thanks guys to the great videos and keep continue. Greetings from Brazil!
up
Nice
I am loocking for some ww1 books too read. Got some Tips??
(Btw i already read all quiet on the Westernfront and the Road Back from Erich Maria Remarque)
The Price of Glory: Verdun 1916
Thanks i will check those books Out
Hey guys question for you about the German soldiers in Africa how did they get home and what impact did they have on the overall war (sorry if you guys already covered this)
Question for the Chair of Wisdom; Could the 1916 Easter Rising be considered part of WW1? Given the contact between Germany and the IRB and the smuggled arms consignment (through Casement), had it succeeded and achieved independence, it could open up a corridor for invading England (similar to the Spanish Armada 400 years prior)
Hey' Indy and crew, What did Siam do in the Great war?
Hey Indy, I was curious if you could give some information about what happened to disfigured WWI soldiers when Hitler came to power. Being a WWI Vet. himself did he give sympathy to those who didnt fair or did he mark them as failures? This may be out of the scope of the show but it has been a question with little answers to me. Thank you kindly Indy and crew!
Questions for OOTT, What were roles for Latino-Americans during the Great War? Was discrimination in the U.S. Military? Who were the most famous historical figures during the war? Greetings from Dallas, Tx.
A QUESTION FOR OUT OF THE TRENCHES
To the scholar Indy,
While no technological terror is a match for the power of the Force, when deploying with my legion of stormtroopers who are not Force sensitive we utilize the AT-AT walker for assaulting rebel bases. Did any side in your "Great War" experiment with tall walking vehicles or anything besides your primitive tanks to cross no man's land and assault enemy trenches?
Also, this Konrad von Hötzendorf reminds me of a general i once knew in the Gungan army.
With regards from a galaxy far far away,
Darth Vader
Lord of the Sith
Commander of the 501st Stormtrooper Legion
Remember Havrincourt 12.09.18
i'm kind of surprised australian government wasn't prepared considering they treated their soldiers best (considering the fact that they didn't allow any executions even for soldiers found guilty of desertion)
Nebel as in the Nebelwerfer of WWII?
A Question for out of the trenches: What Happened with camera men of the Great War. When did they take pictures. Did they live in the same or better conditions than the soldiers? Or would one side just yell “Hey! Don’t kill this guy!”
Nebel = Nebelwerfer of WW2?
ahhhh
Where can i put my questions?
Which peace treaty do you think Germany should have gotten, the Treaty of Versailles (1919), or the 2+4 Treaty (1990)?
So would Rudolf Nebel be the namesake for the German Nebelwerfer in WWII? Seems like an odd coincidence to me.
When the show ends they do another one but with ww2
Under the siege of Copenhagen in 1807 the English fired 300 Congreve Rockets at the city to initiate fires. Later used under the civil war between England and the american colonies.
Jan Mortensen How is that relevent to the video? and I wouldn't call the American revolution a civil war. I'm also pretty sure England was no longer a country by that point.
Pull yourself together, Indy and crew and answer this question: what was the role of Alfred Redl and what impact did he have?
What happened to the companies that were producing weapons before the great war? Did they get nationalised?
Do Hans von Seeckt
Nicknamed “The Sphinx”
Rockets were also used in the Maratha war in 1804 against the British.
How scary would it be to touch off 6 skyrockets from a cloth and wooden plane, while setting on your gas tank....
@Van Hendrix, are you here ?
Is Christoph Krachten still in your team?
Nebel, eh? I wonder if he gave the name to Nebelwerfers (they werf nebel) later.
I'm not sure if I miss a joke or something, but you know that Nebel is the German word for fog, right?
Karl Karlos It is. A ww2 era german rocket launcher is called Nebelwerfer, fog thrower. I figured it was due to it leaving big smoketrails, or lobbing smoke munitions. But now I've learned of a German rocketry guy named Nebel, and wonder if the weapon was nicknamed after him. Much like Stalin's organ.
Jari Heiska Well, no. And the Cruise Missiles are not named after Tom Cruise either.
Karl Karlos And things like aeroplanes and such are often named after people working on them. I don't remember Tom working on missiles.
Yet
NEBEL is that the Nebelwefer inventor from the NEXT WAR?
What infantry was superior than the other ?
Sergeant York what about him
These young guys, quite ironically, had a lot of their lives left because blindness was what got them in the trenches, rather than a bullet.
This is for out of the trenches, how do we know Stalin was at the battle of Tsarityn or did he just take credit for that victory and used that to advance in favour of the soviet party
What will honestly happen when the great war is over indie? Will you move on to Ww2 or something
they discussed this... there is a fundraiser so they can make a WW2 one :) if you google it, you should be able to find out more about it, and donate if you can :)
World war 2?
Hmmm never herd of it
Next, a video on French West Africa, please. Please respond to this comment.
Ekmal Sukarno yess
Dude, I admire your persistence. You've said this at least 3 or 4 times that I've seen.
Question for OOT: hi indy is there any ghost stories or report in the trenches? im wondering if some soldier see ghostly figures either in the trench or in no mans land in the night? listening post work at night so if there is any report or ghost stories, i think most likely came from them
Im leagally blind myself this is interesting....
I only knew of rockets because of Titanic.
what role did the French foreign legion play in the great war?
