One of my favorite Sabaton songs. Also that the way Mustafa Kemal said "I don't order you to attack, I order you to die." would fit right in for the Imperial Guard under Lord Macharius.
Since we're *finally* into multi-part episodes, Soldier of 3 Armies is really well done. Love rewatching these with you as it's been quite some time since I've seen most of the Sabaton History episodes. Keep doing what you're doing, it's entertaining as heck!
7:26 A very important historical figure if you didn’t know since to be very short because there’s a lot I could talk about with him was the founder of modern Turkey. The man who built up the institutions, laws, secularized the country and so on.
If you wanna learn more about him and all of Turkish history I suggest reacting to a 3 part very long but good series from the channel Kraut on the history of Turkey.

The ANZAC's were to land on a gently sloping landscape thus allowing them to get inland a lot faster than they did. The reason they landed in the wrong place was that there was an unknown current in the waters along the shoreline which carried the boats full of ANZAC troops to the left of the intended landing area and thus put them at the base of the steep cliffs of what is now known as 'ANZAC COVE' The troops were confronted with terrain they had not been told they would meet! The ANZAC's surged forward until they were forced to withdraw back to their own lines as it were due to lack of ammunition and some lack of co-ordination and the courage of the Turkish defenders. It was here at the base of these cliffs that the ANZAC legend was born! If they had landed where they were supposed to have landed, that legend might not exist today! By the time it was realised that the troops had to be evacuated from the Gallipoli Peninsula they had been there about eight months. The ANZAC's were withdrawn over three nights with such stealth that the Turks didn't realise that the ANZAC's were gone until they had left! A lot of deception was used before and during the withdrawal to such an extent that not one man was lost during the actual withdrawal. A lot of the stores, ammunition, etc on the beach was destroyed or set fire to. It was the best operation of the whole campaign.
Indy Niedell the host, did a full week by week run down of the Great War in real time 2014 to 2018. Very educational. Now he hosts a week by week review of WW2 and is now up to this time in 1945.
"As the landings were taking place before dawn under the cover of night and were intended to be a surprise, empty rifles meant it was less likely that anxious, scared or excited soldiers would fire at what they suspected to be enemy soldiers, thus giving the whole show away." Recall the whole landing was supposed to be a surprise, and so they had planned for total surprise even as the troops landed.
Empty rifles were more to do with the terrain than anything else. They knew until you got up past the second Ridge not much shooting would go on due to the rough terrain. The British had plans from 30 years before as to Wether it was worth landing on Gallipoli. The British were essentially relying on the Turks to run away for their plan to succeed. If the Turks didn't run it was pretty much over. Sinclair maclagan leading the covering force landed with the 2nd wave and ordered them to dig in immediately pretty much sealing their fate.
@@AmericansLearn the terrain at Gallipoli was probably as good as the Turks could get for defensive operations. Also many of the Turkish troops were local men from the area and had defeated an invasion there during the Balkan wars only 2 years earlier. There was a screen of 300 Turks where the Australian's landed roughly 3 companies along with a section of guns their whole job was to hold up and harrass any landing until reinforcements arrived. Which they did rather well.

So glad you did this 1 near the time of the real event . you should checkout the mini series "Anzacs: the war down under ' (1988) with a young Paul Hogan , Also "Anzac Girls" about the nurses .
Churchill was very involved. Trying to force the straits with the navy was his idea. Others added the ground invasion, but Churchill took the overall blame. He resigned his position and took an officers billet on the Western Front. For a time, he seemed to seek his death in battle to restore his honor. So yeah, you could say he was involved. Lol
Over the course of the campaign, it literally was Lions lead by donkeys. However, I will say this, the best planned movement of the campaign was the very last bit of it the withdrawal it was done so systematically great, that the Turks did not know they had left. Even if a aeroplane crashed in the area, just prior to the evacuation. There’s a whole story about that aeroplane to you know I just had bring it up. Greetings from a descendent of a Australian 🇦🇺 soldier whom served at the cliffs of Gallipoli and the Somme. Glad you did this on ANZAC day😊 Lest we Forget
good timing it coming out on the 25/2/24 in Australia as it is ANZAC day here. Lest we forget. And yea this was one of the most annoying parts was that the battle was just intended to take Turkey for russia to keep them in the war by the british. Because Russia had been considering an armistice with Germany. So basically Britain threw ANZACs and a bunch of other soldiers into a meatgrinder to keep Russia happy.
On the 25th of April as well. Excellent timing
Yes :)
Australian here, never knew Sabaton had a song on Gallipoli, also this video releasing on ANZAC Day is very well timed.
Lest We Forget.
NZ here!! I know right, LEST WE FORGET❤
I didn't either, respect to them for creating this song.
Lest We Forget.
One of my favorite Sabaton songs.
