  • This episode is about the "Attack of the Dead Men". During the third battle for Osowiec Fortress in July 1915 during the Great War, German artillery was bombarding the defending Russian soldiers with a new deadly weapon: Poison Gas. The fatal mixture of chlorine and bromine descended like a green fog over the Russian trenches. Without adequate gas-masks to protect themselves, the defenders were believed to all have died in agony. However, as the German infantry advanced, they did not only march right into a Russian counterattack but also encountered the dead, seemingly rising from their graves.

    As someone who's accidentally gassed themselves (in the lab) with HCl and SO3 gas before i can say its super unpleasant. It was very dilute (most of the gas went up the fumehood) but still sucked, burnt all the way down my throat and lungs, stupidly painful for hours had to just sit in fresh air for ages nothing can be done for this type of injury really, it was only a mild exposure. Can't imagine a deliberate high conc. gas attack must have been sheer agony for the forces being gassed.

      Yeah, almost any chlorine-based compound is extremely unpleasant if inhaled/exposed to.
      Had my experience with it, when I was working in hydrochem. Had to dive into the lab, flooded with the tear agent (namely Cl3CNO2, aka chlorpicrin) during the accident, to drag out the guy, who accidentally synthesized it. And then one more time - to knock out the window, because ventilation was on fritz. Spent the next few hours with my face in the sink.

      I was making ITO (indium tin oxide) using stannic chloride (historically used as a chemical weapon used to deliver chlorine and HCl gas) and it reacted very violently, couldn't get the fume hood down fast enough and got a good lung full of gas, the HCl then reacted with a sulfate compound in the fumehood releasing the SO3. Learned my lesson keep stuff further in the fumehood and make sure its extracting at maximum when dealing with something tbat spews those gases

    Just a small correction on the gas part:
    Chlorine gas is subjected to a redox reaction in the presence of water. One chlorine atom gets reduced to chloride, forming hydrochloric acid, while the other gets oxidized to hypochlorite, forming hydrochlorous acid. The latter, unlike the former, is an oxidizing acid, which arguably makes it even more dangerous.

It's insane that people can have the will to fight after a chemical attack like that. Soldiers are brave and I need to be as strong as they are while facing the small challenges in my daily life because what i'm faced with is nothing compared to what they went through. If even dead men can fight I sure as hell can fight too.

    Спасибо шведам за такое внимание к нашей истории. Особенно учитывая то,что наши страны никогда не были союзниками и большую часть своей истории так или иначе воевали друг с другом. Я считаю, что такое отношение к сопернику может вызывать только уважение. Надеюсь, что русские и шведские солдаты больше не будут убивать друг друга. Давайте жить дружно!

    My friend and I dressed as a Russian and German soldier respectively when we went to the Sabaton concert in NYC. I had a helmet with a gas mask and a uniform, and my friend had a uniform with bloody rags. It was a great time and a great show, though I felt kinda weird walking around NYC with a German helmet on...

      Diver_01 In 1915 in the trenches on Christmas, the Germans yelled “ Merry Christmas Canadians” and started to wave cigar boxes. The Canadians opened fire. While we have a reputation as being nice, our boys were very ruthless in war.

    I've been looking forward to a video on The Attack of the Dead Men for a while, and y'all finally delivered! The Attack of the Dead Men is both one of my favorite songs and events from the album, and strangest one too.
    The whole song sounds like a zombie is apocalypse, which is fitting since it was a zombie apocalypse for the Germans.

    Just a quick question: How often do you get asked to do a song about the scuttling of the German High Seas Fleet at Scapa Flow? I've wished that this would be on the Great War album. Since it isn't, im hoping that this will someday be a song.
