    It’s a foggy night of August 6th, 1915 and in the trenches near Osowiec fortress the Imperial Russians are facing the Germans in what is now modern day Poland. The Germans are using a terrible weapon. Gas. A huge cloud drifts across the battlefield. The resulting effects on the soldiers gives them an unearthly appearance. Even though they have fallen, they seem to come back to life. The Germans are naturally fearful of these undead soldiers that become vicious, fast combatants full of hatred and revenge. An incredible counter attack where the fallen through sheer will went back into the fight to take their vengeance.

    For those who are curious about how frightening a gas attack is from the perspective of a WWI soldier in the trenches:
    Otto Dix was a German soldier who after the war became famous as an artist, with much of his art inspired by his experiences as a soldier.
    More than once he depicted soldiers during a gas attack, and in his depiction of gas masks, they aesthetically resemble skulls in his art

      ​@@Berserker3624 you would be afraid in the early part of the war when there were no anti gas precautions.
      And gas attacks weren't always in daylight, so imagine one night it's so late that you can't keep your eyes open,the sentries can't see anything until it's already too close because the darkness, and by the time you smell that chlorine smell your dead already before you realize.

      ​@@Berserker3624 counter point
      it was commenly delviered with artillery near you. Actually this was first way it was used. Has some limitations with some gases.
      Many gases could go nearly as fast as the wind. Average sprint speed is 16mph, but not long distance, that's on track, in light weight clothes.
      Meaning lets say the wind is going 20mph and the gas goes half the speed of wind cause its heavier one. 10mph will still seem fast in the mud. God forbid its 60 mph wind. And yah you can abandon your postion. When the gas disupates your going to be basically doing a game of king of the hill for the trenchs. (Assuming the side which launched the gas doesn't have gas mask)
      mustard gas was also a blistering agent. Meaning while gas mask will help prevent death....most likely you will be unfit for combat for a time. Meaning if your late enough in the war to have a gas mask your still not 100% safe. While you could try to cover most of youe skin to some effect it will eventually saturate the fabric and start burning or more accurately dissolving.

    Seeing the title, I thought this was Yarnhub Mystery video. Surprised it was real! Imagine the powerlessness one must feel seeing the chlorine gas approaching, and horrifying sounds of people dying in despair. The internal conflicts as a German advancing, seeing the human tragedy befalling the enemy, lucky it’s them and not us. Then to be revenged by the seemingly undead. So filled with emotions on the extreme from both side. Mastery of Yarnhub story telling has reached terrific heights, love it!

    A few numbers to help show how incredible this was - The German army brought 7,000 men to bear, whereas Osowiec Fortress was defended by only 900. The barrage and the gas combined killed about 800. So this means that the countercharge comprised only 100 heavily wounded men, who were outnumbered a staggering 70 to 1, and yet they won the battle.
    When the Germans fled, they were far too disorgsnised to file back through the paths in the wire traps they had cut, so a lot of the died from running into their own barbed wire and being shot by the five remaining Russian big guns that hadn't been knocked out by the German artillery barrage.

      Completely false. The initial gas managed to kill roughly only over 250 soldiers. The German placement against the fortress that was in the frontline numbered a little over 300 only, because they were heavily relying on the gas to work.
      While the Russian achievement is great, let’s stick to the actual facts.

    A few facts: the 9th, 10th, 11th companies of the 226 Zemlyansky regiment ceased to exist, since they where in the lowlands. In the 12th company about 40 people remained in the ranks, another 60 were a little further away, closer to the rear. The Germans were pursued by 13th company of the 226 Zemlyansky regiment under the command of Kotlinsky.

    The only story you've heard of involving the undead was Count Dracula and you believe it to be nothing more than just a story to get a quick spook. Then you're stationed to fight in Osowiec the bodies before you are dead, or are they? Then just before you maybe those undead stories weren't just stories, the corpse ahead of you is stumbling to you and many more twisted bloodied mangled bodies are headed your direction.

    Still hoping there might be a coming video of Wojtek, the Polish war bear and unit mascot from WWII that while under heavy Italian fire during the battle for Italy, carried the ammo boxes for his artillery unit and ultimately quite literally turned the tide of the battle. It’s why to this day, their shoulder patch shows him standing on his hind legs carrying an artillery shell. They found him as an abandoned cub and raised him literally as “one of the guys” and would wrestle with him, even. Incredibly, footage of it all still exists. But I would love to see the story truly get the spotlight it deserves, as it’s so largely forgotten.

      @@BlackdragonTheShadow my hope is YarnHub might make a video, I should say. Wojtek was a Syrian bear cub bought by the Polish artillery after the Russians formed them up out of their gulags when Hitler invaded, and they came across him in Iran when a boy sold him to them. He became their mascot and was known to smoke cigarettes and drink beer with the soldiers as well as wrestle with the bravest of them as he grew up… though, he often left them a little bruised and clothes torn… after all, in the end, he weighed 500 pounds. When a thief tried to rob them one night, he woke up and though just did his normal friendly routine, he scared the guy so senseless he surrendered to the soldiers after screaming like a little girl so loudly, they probably thought the thief was a little girl at first-if you know what I mean. When the soldiers came under British control (and thankfully out of Stalin’s) in Israel in 1943 and were shipped to Italy, they were not allowed to take mascots, so they responded by making him a fully documented soldier so they could take him with them. He was known by then to be just as bad as the other boys, drinking beer and flirting with the Italian ladies, and at Monte Castillo (forgive my spelling and autoINcorrect) he started mimicking the other soldiers and began picking up the crates full of artillery shells, carrying them to the guns while walking in his back legs. In minutes, they had taught to carry one under each arm and with his help they were able to stop a German advance that without, they may not have had enough shells fast enough to fire. It literally “turned the battle” as the legend goes, and was promoted to corporal. It was after this, the Polish Artillery made their logo an image of Wojtek carrying a big artillery shell on their shoulder patches and painted on the doors of their trucks. He became too big to ride shotgun anymore, so they got their hands on one of those tank chassis built into a tank recovery vehicle, used to move damaged tanks and things, and turned that into his personal valet to transport him between camps, and it’s said he loved riding in the open top like a big old dog sticking his head out the window of a car. After the war, he retired to a zoo in Scotland where even 20 years later, among all the thousands of voices calling his name, TV appearances, and so on: he would recognize the voices of his fellow Polish brothers and would stop, sit, and flap his lips begging for a beer or cigarette as they used to do. Apparently, tobacco was like candy for him. He died in 1963 at the age of 22, which is standard for Syrian Brown Bears which live 20-25 years in the wild. It’s a story so unique, I just hope beyond hope YarnHub makes a video about Wojtek… and if I knew how to, I’d send Sabaton a daily email request to write a song about him: Poland’s Bear Soldier.

    Imagine this:
    You are Hans, a fresh recruit, straight out of Hamburg. You are ready for combat. Your first battle, Osowiec, a Russian fortress.
    You watch as a cloud of green gas descends upon the fort. You wait in your gas mask, among your friends. You feel sorry for the poor Russians in there. Stop it. A soldier cannot feel sorry. After 10 minutes, all 12 battalions are ordered forward.
    You walk, sidestepping barbed wire, dead bodies, and craters. Suddenly, your battalion stops. There is a movement in the gas cloud. What could possibly still be living? Silhouettes of humans. You see it too. Your friends whisper in confusion. You, too, are confused. As they get closer, you hear war cries. In Russian. You brace for battle. Did they get reinforcements? Did they have gas masks after all?
    However, as it gets closer, your blood runs cold. Your mouth drops open, and you sweat. "Heilige Scheiße..." you whisper, in utter horror, as these, are no reinforcements. These, are the fort's Russian defenders, half gassed to death. They wear no masks. Bloodshot eyes, mouths crying curses in Russian, stopped by only chokes of blood. They charge, firing their guns.
    You wildly look around you screaming at the top of your lungs filling with gas to bank courage in your friends. But you see Lieutenant get stabbed by a bayonet. The Russian screams a guttural war cry, spewing blood from his own neck. You turn, with many others, trying to flee. Forget the Kaiser. Forget the Fatherland. You must survive. Get back to Hamburg. You run, dropping your gun. Dear God, what would your squadron leader say?! Clearly it's "AHHHHH!!!!" as a bayonet takes him from behind. His death rattle banks you with adrenaline to run. You yelp, a scared little lamb, as you run harder for 3 seconds.
    But your leg snags on a wire. You land on your face in the dirt. Your leg bleeds profusely. You try to get up, but someone stands on your sleeve. You turn around and look at your death. Your heart skips three beats.
    A Russian. His face is red, blood streaming down his cheeks, wrinkled from the gas. You plead for mercy, but it's no use. He doesn't understand German, as if he was in the mood to spare even indeed. The Russian lifts his bayonet. It's rusty from the gas.
    stab noise Your blue eyes bulge. The Russian twists the bayonet in your stomach. Your blood spills. A crimson river out of your liver. In your last moments, you think of your family, your old father, your girl. Her sweet face. You will never see her again.
    The world fades away, and the last thing you see is your Russian opponent rips the bayonet out of your stomach, flexes his weapon, to stab your older brother Heinrich who is desperately fending off two aggressive Russians. The general screams to retreat, the syllables barely out of his throat before 3 bullets take him as the Russians burst forward... An unstoppable force. You hear the screams of your fallen, the begging for mercy, a man stepping over you screaming. "ANCESTORS SAVE ME!" he yelps. He slips on a body and falls in a foxhole.
    But loudest of all, is the scream of the damned. The 100 damned who rose again to fight...
    Your fingers tremble around your spilling arteries...
    The noon sky fades...
    You belch even more blood as a man steps on you desperate to run away from the slaughter...
    The mud splashes as men run and blinds you..... Your senses go.... The smell of blood... the taste of mud... the wetness of your bloody entrails... your sight seeing the wide eyes of your friends run... friends who you thought would never ever leave you... You watch the army rout in blurred vision...
    Death is not peaceful as your hearing goes... their war cries lull you to darkness.

      Would not call it courage, just mostly hatered and desperation. Those on the backlines got least amount of the gas hence in better condition. Troops were mostly uneducated country folk at the time, so just usage of gas was wunderweapon and they had no idea what side effects there could be, so bodies rising up all blooded and charging them was enough to scare some of the Germans to run, but not all so it turned into another countercharge. I think from what i have heard about it, it was not that special event, just grown out of proportions, possibly was used as propaganda by Russians and recently Sabaton grew attention to it.

      @@Hellsong89it was all over the news that time when it happened although there is quite a lot of propaganda you have like dozens of different stories from i think this one is one most of accurate since everyone says no one survived meanwhile some did this would be good movie ngl i mean russians did 20 min short movie about it but they didnt make it accurate that much they never showed polish soldiers meanwhile they nearly made half of garrison and they just showed germans running away meanwhile some stayed and held the line

    I like how you used the eyewitness account in his language with the translation, really grounds the story as actual history instead of just a scary-tale.
