@@MrBubu1370 Well in the early stages of the war almost no army used helmets. Helmets were used in massive numbers cca from 1916/1917. I have one photo of him in his uniform next to his wife and he has a cap on his head like most of A-H soldiers.
@@saiien2 The French and Germans experimented in 1915 - a French version was basically a metal bowl placed over the skull and the cloth cap was supposed to sit on top of that. The Adrian helmet was brought in over the winter of 1915-16, the Germans began introducing their "coal scuttle" early in 1916 and the British introduced the Brodie helmet in spring 1916. The introduction was gradual, some Germans facing the British on the Somme on July 1, 1916 still had only cloth caps and Pickelhaube leather helmets with the spike removed. Late that month a German officer survived a shrapnel hit to his head - he had only been issued a steel helmet a few days earlier and without it the shrapnel might have killed him.
it sheds light on what early war conflict looked like and how water was a pressing issue also shows captains rightfully going ahead of the men and being the first under fire
My grandfather was rumanian from Transilvania and fought in KUK Armee on the italian front and after on the galizian front. He was taken prisoner by the russians and he said that in the tzarist Russia was treated him very well as prisoner of war. In 1917 he return to Transilvania ( Cluj-Napoca area) on foot, because Red Revolution take place and tzarist autorities were disintegrated.
That makes me think of my great grandfather. In 1914 he was drafted and drove with his regiment to Galicia. There they got off and marched to the next place ... since then they have been missing.
By the end of September, eight out of ten junior officers in the K.u.K army would be dead, wounded or captured. The pre-war army of Austro-Hungary would be destroyed, for all practical purposes. The officers usually wore yellow sashes and carried sabers, this marked them as officers and they were easy targets.
Indeed, the first month of war almost annihilated the old officer corps of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. I recently tried to find background information on the death of my great-grandmother's brother (a k.u.k. Lt.-Col. of infantry who was mortally wounded the first day his regiment encountered the Russians in Galicia, 107 years ago to the day), and found John R. Schindler's book Fall of the Double Eagle (2015) to be a very thorough and gripping history of that debacle. To make things worse, the k.u.k. general staff hadn't fought a war against a European power since 1866, and hadn't bothered to keep up with the tremendous development of artillery during those 48 years, so their preferred tactics were to let their men march into the enemy's cannon fire in packed ranks as if they were on a parade ground...
@@chevalierdupapillon The incompetence at the higher levels of the K.u.K Armee certainly aggravated the damage that actual combat inflicted on A-H forces. Their army was the only major field force that got SMALLER during the decade preceding the outbreak in 1914. The veto of the Hungarian Diet was most responsible for the lack of funding that limited training, investment in modern armaments and technology. One thing that really contributed to the immense losses was that many regiments were brought up to strength by reservists in their 30's and 40's who couldn't handle the marching in the August heat, and their training was hopelessly outdated. This led to the "hurrah taktik", the bayonet charges through the hail of Russian shrapnel and bullets that cut men down in droves. Oddly, the work of the 'Evidenzbureau', the intelligence branch was spot on in it's evaluations and predictions.
@@davidmurray5399 Inappropriate equipment was a problem for all armies in August 1914. The main problem with the Austro-Hungarian Army was that Russia was not expected to enter the war. The deployment in Galicia was therefore only improvised and ended accordingly. My great grandfather was one of the reservists, he was missing in action in Galicia.
It wasn't just artillery development that they hadn't kept up with. The Russo-Japanese and Balkan Wars had completely changed small unit tactics and how command and control worked. This was particularly evident against the Serbian Army, whose officers knew to use terrain to shield infantry, and not to bunch up in large formations. The A-H Army kept trying to use older, larger column formations commanded by senior field officers, and were consistently outmaneuvered by the smaller Serbian formations, in spite of their numerical superiority in every category.

@@chevalierdupapillon These seem to have been common tactics in most European armies at the time. It was very stupid, but not quite as moronic as is usually presented today. the modern armies of that time recognized the incredible increase in fire power from machine guns and bolt action rifles, artillary etc. They concluded that the key was to get through the danger area as fast as possible and close with the enemy (not a completely foolish theory). The French army had almost no defensive tactics and believed "Elan" (the fighting spirit) would carry them through the field of fire that modern tec created. unfortunately when combined with barbed wire and defensive trenches you ended up with a slaughter.

There's a common misconception that everyone was eager for war and rearing to go but this wasn't really the case. Many Europeans wanted no part in this but were thrown into this terrible conflict.
@@firingallcylinders2949 - What was it that brought you to that conclution? There are many, many cntepory articles from newspapers, both with long held attitudes for or against, many thousands of dairy entries made in the lead up to, and the first year or more, that are brimming with the very same (and today, so very much more dangerous) kind of unthinking, uncaring "their all beasts, and should all be put into a shallow grave", and "hurrah for the Armies/Navies of (f i l l i n b l a n k)", and WHO could blame them? In the Europe of their Day, and let's not forget that although it may be, and rightly so is, called a "World War", the overwhelming majority of the fighting that took place in the War, occured on European soil. The Europe of that time was SO very, VERY different in almost every concievable way,, that to just hand wave away the true enthusiasm held for this conflict by every strata of society, in ALL the beligerant Nations in this "mightiest of conflagrations", is to I think "miss the point" that these very ordinary, run of the mill type of people were trying to tell us from way back over this ocean of time. You might also keep in mind, the fact that for so very, VERY many of the writers or those they wrote to or about, a great deal of them were speaking of, or too, a Man related to them in the first person, I.E : - a Father, Brother, Cousin, Son or even beloved Husband and Father of Children of their own. Secondnly, it was very easy for the Press of the day, to let us say "make an oaf, out of an oaf", which is to say, report EXACTLY what Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, had to say of the goings on in the international relations of his day. Now, what the, er, "Good Kaiser" didn't seem to factor in (or maybe he did, but for very deeply held psychological reasons, that we may but only "muse" about in 2020, but, never the less, are just as important now as they have ever been) is just how badly his blustering, and bellicose statements were taken by the World at large, particularly by the English and their Empire, and most of all, when one considers that this Man was the "eldest and most beloved" of all the Grandchildren of Queen Victoria. I could go on ranting all day, but I shall not bore you, or anyone else further, unless perhaps they may be so enclined. My last point was to be about the compulsory years of Military Service a Man might have been called upon to do, between the ages of 16-45, and also how this varied, between Country to Country, keeping in mind all the while that these were of course very real, living breathing blood and bone human beings, that were a VERY great deal MORE UNLIKELY, than LIKELY to come home after being wounded, much less killed outright, witch in those day was more or less considered by the Men to be "more of a blessing", than a long, drawn out death in a disease filled hospital. Hence the great hope held in a "swift victory" "home by Christmas" malarky!! Sorry, I do carry on .... I'll see myself out now!!!
The beginning of ww1 did not differ much from the napoleonic wars in tactics. Only the weaponry made it a much deadlier affair. Just look at the battle of the frontiers in wikipedia. These where the first clashes of 1914 with colorfol uniforms and cavalry on both sides. Look at the amount of casualties this did to only 1 month of fighting
It happens just like that in the novel. He dreams of a glorious death with the march playing in the background and disappointment engulfs him when he dies in the act of getting water... in the novel, the disappointment and disillusion are more vividly depicts, although his face in the film when he is shot sort of encapsulates the author's rendering quite well.

The Russians had good gunners who could fire well from closed positions. But the Russians had little long-range artillery at the time. And the Russians had very few shells to fire not at the troops, but at civilian targets.

This is a 3-part TV adaptation from 1994 and only available in German. They could at least have added French and English audio and subs, after all France and Germany co-produced it together with ORF. Maybe it didn't happen because director Corti died during production. Anyway, I quickly checked and saw no rip available atm but you could order it from some Amazon seller although it's pricey.

2:15 Under which grounds did Austria hanged two Orthodox priests? Did the war declaration also declared against the entirety of Orthodox Church (and thus ban this religion). And why don't Austria use bonfire of purity anymore? Did Roman Catholic church still have prayers to curse the heretic souls? And did the Eastern Church demands any reparations payments from Austria or from any Hapsburgs? or demands from Roman Catholic Church which is the official religion of Austria at that time?
I'm at 1:01 , and I'm very impressed by the diverse cast: Orthodox Jews singing prayers. Prussian army officers with their pointing hats. Ottoman army representatives with their red felt hats. Gentlemen civilians tipping their wide brimmed hats. Others. It's like everyone is so identifiable by some sort of uniform, by their choice of clothing. These days, we are all so anonymous. I don't know. It keeps the peace, I guess. But this scene sure looks colourful and lively.

Europe enjoyed almost 100 years of peace before WWI. Vienna was a cultural capital of Europe, it was hip and then this happened. My great grandfather was wounded somewhere in Poland 1914, that the only reason he survived The Great War. PS There were regional wars, but nothing on the scale of Napoleonic era combat.
Regional or not, these wars were still numerous, map-changing, and big enough to consider '100 years of peace' a gross overstatement: Greek War of Independence (1821), Russo-Turkish War (1828), Polish-Russian War/November Uprising (1830), First Schleswig War (1848), Crimean War (1853), Second War of Italian Independence (1859), Second Schleswig War (1864), Austro-Prussian War (1866), Third Italian War of Independence (1866), Franco-Prussian War (1870), First Balkan War (1912), Second Balkan War (1913). Not to mention a dozen of revolts.

@@jeanlucdemeulemeester7677 Thanks, in that case they got the equipment very wrong. No german helmets in 1914,even the germans only started using them in 1916. Small error but quite obvious one.
@@samuelgordino Germans used Pickelhaube at the start of the war, the only helmets shown are a variation of those. There are no Stahlhelme in sight it is accurate
Russians. After an initial Austro-Hungarian victory at Komarov, the Russians inflicted one defeat after another on A-H forces in Galicia, partly offsetting defeats at German hands in East Prussia.
I noticed just how much the Austrian uniform looks like the Dutch uniforms (little to no changes were made between WWI & WWII), basicly the only difference being the colour (fieldgray/fieldgreen)
Local Ukrainians. In the beginning of the war Russia invaded Austrian Galicia, and when Austrians recaptured it they suspected local Ukrainians of treason, since they were Orthodox Slavs as well as Russians.
Many orthodox priests in Ukraine in this period were trained by and loyal to the Russia. It should be noted however that many Ukrainians also fought against the Russians and supported the Austrians, google Legion of Ukrainian Sich Riflemen.
@@Adson_von_Melk не надо оскорблять мертвых. Это были русины, русские, православные или греко католики. В 1914 австрийцы устроили сеть концлагерей для русинов-Талергоф, Терезин и др. Около сотни тысяч русинов было там уничтожено. Еще десятки тысяч австрийцы и венгры просто убили и повесили в Галиции как прорусских. Из оставшихся трусов, предателей и доносчиков наделали т.н. украинцев-которых до 1914 вообще не было.
Even though this scene diverts a bit from the source material, in the book he is shot in the head but still conscious for a little while. He tries to speak but his mouth doesn't move as his body grows cold, then he dies. This might be a little mistake or maybe (it's unlikely though) they tried to portray the book version of his death.

The hanged priests seem to be orthodox. The burning church on the other hand seems to be Roman Catholic, according to the style of architecture. The Eastern front stretched through Poland, which was - and is - a Roman Catholic country. At that time Poland did not exist as a free country but was divided between Austria, Russia and Prussia/Germany. It is quite unclear what orthodox priests did in Poland, but perhaps there might have been orthodox congregations in the part of Poland which then was held by Russia. In this case the hanging might have been a retaliation for these priests who had prayed for and blessed the enemy soldiers. Or they were suspected as spies. But all this seems contradictory,. In the early phase of the war the Austrians were pushed south by the Russians, and the front was on Roman Carholic territory which had been held by Austria. But if I recall the novel right then lieutenant von Trotta died around the same time when the old Emperor Franz Joseph passed away, and by that time the front had moved far into eastern Poland after the big German/Austrian push of 1915. There might have been orthodox churches built on Polish territory for Russians who had moved to the Russian part of Poland. The fighting might be a part of the offensive of the Russian general Brussilov, who had quite great initial success in his offensive in summer 1916. He used a new type of tactics which soon was copied by the German army. Perhaps Polish people could tell more about that.
At the start of the war, there weren't dedicated snipers, but sniper programs were eventually set up. That being said, they could have sent a rifleman or two with him to provide covering fire. ruclips.net/video/HLd0nYN9Bwg/видео.html

There's a common misconception that everyone was eager for war and rearing to go but this wasn't really the case. Many Europeans wanted no part in this but were thrown into this terrible conflict.
@@firingallcylinders2949 - What was it that brought you to that conclution?
There are many, many cntepory articles from newspapers, both with long
held attitudes for or against, many thousands of dairy entries made in
the lead up to, and the first year or more, that are brimming with the very
same (and today, so very much more dangerous) kind of unthinking,
uncaring "their all beasts, and should all be put into a shallow grave",
and "hurrah for the Armies/Navies of (f i l l i n b l a n k)", and WHO could
blame them?
In the Europe of their Day, and let's not forget that although
it may be, and rightly so is, called a "World War", the overwhelming majority
of the fighting that took place in the War, occured on European soil. The
Europe of that time was SO very, VERY different in almost every concievable
way,, that to just hand wave away the true enthusiasm held for this conflict
by every strata of society, in ALL the beligerant Nations in this "mightiest of
conflagrations", is to I think "miss the point" that these very ordinary, run of
the mill type of people were trying to tell us from way back over this ocean
of time.
You might also keep in mind, the fact that for so very, VERY many of the
writers or those they wrote to or about, a great deal of them were speaking
of, or too, a Man related to them in the first person, I.E : - a Father, Brother,
Cousin, Son or even beloved Husband and Father of Children of their own.
Secondnly, it was very easy for the Press of the day, to let us say "make an
oaf, out of an oaf", which is to say, report EXACTLY what Kaiser Wilhelm II of
Germany, had to say of the goings on in the international relations of his day.
Now, what the, er, "Good Kaiser" didn't seem to factor in (or maybe he did,
but for very deeply held psychological reasons, that we may but only "muse" about in 2020, but, never the less, are just as important now as they have ever
been) is just how badly his blustering, and bellicose statements were taken
by the World at large, particularly by the English and their Empire, and most
of all, when one considers that this Man was the "eldest and most beloved" of
all the Grandchildren of Queen Victoria.
I could go on ranting all day, but I shall not bore you, or anyone else further,
unless perhaps they may be so enclined. My last point was to be about the
compulsory years of Military Service a Man might have been called upon to
do, between the ages of 16-45, and also how this varied, between Country to
Country, keeping in mind all the while that these were of course very real,
living breathing blood and bone human beings, that were a VERY great deal
MORE UNLIKELY, than LIKELY to come home after being wounded, much less
killed outright, witch in those day was more or less considered by the Men to
be "more of a blessing", than a long, drawn out death in a disease filled
hospital. Hence the great hope held in a "swift victory" "home by Christmas"
malarky!! Sorry, I do carry on .... I'll see myself out now!!!

The beginning of ww1 did not differ much from the napoleonic wars in tactics. Only the weaponry made it a much deadlier affair. Just look at the battle of the frontiers in wikipedia. These where the first clashes of 1914 with colorfol uniforms and cavalry on both sides. Look at the amount of casualties this did to only 1 month of fighting
Als Englander mit nichts zu viel deutsch finde ich diesen dialog erstaunlich einfach zu verstanden.
It happens just like that in the novel. He dreams of a glorious death with the march playing in the background and disappointment engulfs him when he dies in the act of getting water... in the novel, the disappointment and disillusion are more vividly depicts, although his face in the film when he is shot sort of encapsulates the author's rendering quite well.

The Russians had good gunners who could fire well from closed positions. But the Russians had little long-range artillery at the time. And the Russians had very few shells to fire not at the troops, but at civilian targets.
They still had better, or at least a lot more artillery than the KuK. The Austrians had the poorest artillery of all the major powers by a long shot.

Hello. Where can I watch this film in full in English or Russian? Is it possible to find torrents on it? Please help me. I would really like to translate this film into Russian. So that Russian-speaking people can get acquainted with the products of the Austrian cinema.
This is a 3-part TV adaptation from 1994 and only available in German. They could at least have added French and English audio and subs, after all France and Germany co-produced it together with ORF. Maybe it didn't happen because director Corti died during production.
Anyway, I quickly checked and saw no rip available atm but you could order it from some Amazon seller although it's pricey.
better with subtitles to not take away the german feel.
@@AbrahamLincoln4 Yeah this gem should definitely be watched in German, they also chose excellent voice actors for von Sydow, Rich and Rampling. Just a shame that there are no subtitles available because this is such a faithful adaptation of Roth's novel, the dialogue, the setting... and such a tremendous cast. I've seen it close to 10 times and still discover something new each time. Highly recommended!

My great grandfather was wounded somewhere in Poland 1914, that the only reason he survived The Great War. PS There were regional wars, but nothing on the scale of Napoleonic era combat.
Regional or not, these wars were still numerous, map-changing, and big enough to consider '100 years of peace' a gross overstatement: Greek War of Independence (1821), Russo-Turkish War (1828), Polish-Russian War/November Uprising (1830), First Schleswig War (1848), Crimean War (1853), Second War of Italian Independence (1859), Second Schleswig War (1864), Austro-Prussian War (1866), Third Italian War of Independence (1866), Franco-Prussian War (1870), First Balkan War (1912), Second Balkan War (1913).

Russians. In Galicia, if I recall correctly.
Of course Russians, it is in Galicia. ;)
Russians. After an initial Austro-Hungarian victory at Komarov, the Russians inflicted one defeat after another on A-H forces in Galicia, partly offsetting defeats at German hands in East Prussia.
Read the novel in translation, it's good. _Hotel Savoy_ is really good too.

I can tell that they are Austrian but much of the rest of this is a mystery to me. Who are those Orthodox priests that got hanged and why?
Local Ukrainians. In the beginning of the war Russia invaded Austrian Galicia, and when Austrians recaptured it they suspected local Ukrainians of treason, since they were Orthodox Slavs as well as Russians.
Many orthodox priests in Ukraine in this period were trained by and loyal to the Russia. It should be noted however that many Ukrainians also fought against the Russians and supported the Austrians, google Legion of Ukrainian Sich Riflemen.

Who the hell would hang priests?!
The hanged priests seem to be orthodox. The burning church on the other hand seems to be Roman Catholic, according to the style of architecture. The Eastern front stretched through Poland, which was - and is - a Roman Catholic country. At that time Poland did not exist as a free country but was divided between Austria, Russia and Prussia/Germany. It is quite unclear what orthodox priests did in Poland, but perhaps there might have been orthodox congregations in the part of Poland which then was held by Russia. In this case the hanging might have been a retaliation for these priests who had prayed for and blessed the enemy soldiers. Or they were suspected as spies. But all this seems contradictory,. In the early phase of the war the Austrians were pushed south by the Russians, and the front was on Roman Carholic territory which had been held by Austria. But if I recall the novel right then lieutenant von Trotta died around the same time when the old Emperor Franz Joseph passed away, and by that time the front had moved far into eastern Poland after the big German/Austrian push of 1915. There might have been orthodox churches built on Polish territory for Russians who had moved to the Russian part of Poland. The fighting might be a part of the offensive of the Russian general Brussilov, who had quite great initial success in his offensive in summer 1916. He used a new type of tactics which soon was copied by the German army. Perhaps Polish people could tell more about that.
