On November 11, 1918, 1 minute before the official end of World War 1, a soldier died. He was remembered as a hero, and memorials were built in his honor-but that wasn’t the entire story. As it turns out, this man wasn’t quite exactly the hero that he was made out to be. Let’s dive in…

😢😢😢😊Leviticus 18:22 KJV
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Ephesians 6:10-18 says, Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.

7:30 Bulgaria is inaccurate but its fine, barely any 1914 transparent Bulgaria flag maps were around
also 7:33 that's a flag map of the Ottoman Empire in 1900.
I think Henry wanted to die. It seems like he knew that his actions were futile and was desperate to redeem himself in the eyes of his comrades and country, or die. He was depressed, lost his girl, his hard-earned position and the respect of his peers. It was a choice between either gaining all that back, or dying. Unfortunately his depression drove him to this ridiculously dangerous act and cost him his life
Good point but sad just the same
Agreed. As someone who has gone through depression before, I don't think it was all about honor.
Yes, I hear depression above any other motive. He didn't have an apparent reason to face life back home without his girl, without the honor he had just lost. For whatever reason, turning his gun on himself was not acceptable for him, so he took the last opportunity he had to get taken down by the enemy.
Same
His girl really made a bitch move though. The demotion was just an excuse to leave him for another man she had already fallen in love with.
I sort of already knew about Henry as being the last soldier killed in WW1 but I never imagined that his story ran so much more deeply into the pages of history. Thank you Andy for making this video and see you next week.

Bro, imagine him in the afterlife one minute after
*intense rage*
he's probably very annoyed
His honest reaction: 🫤
He accidentally clicked Alt F4
@@CakeKatVR Uhhhh MANNNNNN!!!! I died at the last minute fr fr I want to rage quit right now.
I feel bad for him, his life was terrible after he was drafted. War does terrible things to people and this man is no exception. Rest in peace all who died in these wars, thank you for serving your countries.
Me to
except for japanese soldiers in ww2.
@@floof6896 Only those who committed atrocities(Nanjing)
@@kardona_3 it wasnt just nanjing. other places in china, korea, philippines (my country) and alot more where they committed tons of warcrimes against humanity.

He felt he had lost everything, he lost his rank, he lost his fiancee, he lost his regiment's trust and he lost the place he rightfully belonged, and thus, his deliberate final charge was perhaps suicidal, in a literal sense. He will be remembered
he was punished essentially for just writing the truth about the horrors of the frontlines. Thank you for covering this fascinating story
yeah, proves how much countries actually care about their people
There is no way in hell that he felt ashamed
looking from his perspective, that he lost his job, girlfriend and potentially future wife, life, comrades, and everything because the war started, he most likely would've have hated his enemy, and put the blame on them for ruining their lives. This would then give a better reason for rushing the enemy, for he already lost his position, probably adding fuel to the flame.
He felt he had lost everything, he lost his rank, he lost his fiancee, he lost his regiment's trust and he lost the place he rightfully belonged, and thus, his deliberate final charge was perhaps suicidal, in a literal sense. He will be remembered. He was abused, at least mentally, and also suffered from the trauma of the other soldiers' district in his loyalty. But no, he was not a valiant man who would meaninglessly die for his country and fellowmen - unless he was reduced to a machine. Dying in the final minute of war wouldn't realistically change anything. He reminds me of Olaf, glad and big, who was ridiculed for his anti-war stance, who stood up for the personal principles prevalently dominating his peaceful pacifist personality.
nah he was suicidal and depressed
Another reason could just be he's depressed, feel like the life that he always wanted was gone and didnt have a meaning anymore, nothing else matters. In his eyes, he's already dead.
I think he was suicidal and thought he had nothing left for him back home.
Heard this story many times and I’m glad your spreading it.
You're*
@@NEKOSAIKOU. Man shut the fuck up, who asked
The way you narrate your stories is so satisfying! It makes me feel like I’m the person in the story! Don’t stop this kind of content!😀
so uh you wanna be him
Henry was just suicidal. Really sad story. Disgusting wife.
Fiancee
Andy is one of few RUclipsrs that never has a bad upload, thank you ❤️
I'm now convinced that it was an intentional suicide.
His mind got broken just like anyone would mind would
A spark of anger can ruin the life of an innocent person.
Henry knew coming back home wouldn't give him any happiness or wholesome hug like that, war ruined his life and he could never turn back
Thats why he just decides to die
It’s so sad, he shouldn’t be ashamed it’s good that mental health for veterans has improved and shaming them for being scared isn’t as bad as it used to be
At least he was able to be remembered by dying at that moment, rather than die and have his name forgotten years later
One must imagine Henry happy.
Loving your Hidden Stories Andy!
I thought his death was just inconvenient, it turns out he lost everything, and died from his anger. The Germans even didn't want to kill him but they had to in defense
Thank you for this story. I'm really addicted to your stories! I'm looking forward to the next one! 🤗
Well, remember, for every name in the history books, there are a thousand names forgotten
even tho Gunther died on the last minute, every soldier deserves a memorial no matter what for what they got in
I’ve heard about this before but you always make your stories interesting and fun to listen too. I’m a big fan and a subscriber
It was Not heroic to commit suicide.
However, it was Heroic to send a letter back, warning others of the horrors of war.
well yeah the diesion was very dumb but i think he could have gotten respect from his comrades. also why was it heroic to send a letter back cause his freinds would have gotten drafted?
Not true he chose to die with honor because he wasn't given any by his own side
@@kuttenburg Yes, you got it. He sent the letter to save other people.
@@epiccrusadr8583 There is no honor in unaliving one's self; that "is the coward's way out." Life is given to us to serve ourselves and others, so that in the end, God can have something to owe us for, that he wants to pay us for, the good we choose to do, every day.
Bro must've been pissed going off to Valhalla.
keep up the great work Andy!
I started watching the long form content only recently, but honestly, your style of storytelling is honestly unlike anything I have seen on RUclips.
this feels the same as dying when the boss is at low health
You're such a great storyteller! And you also know how to find great stories. Keep up the good work!
Great video as always! Loved the story eveb though it was really quite sad!
He was not the last.
A LOT of soldiers died after the official armistice, but their deaths were recorded to an earlier time.
Source?
Trust me bro
What is OP's source?
Source:
Bro just trust me
@@lateral1385probably made up but I mean it's common sense. In 6 hours 3k people died. 6 hours is 360 minutes meaning like around 8 people died per minute on the battle field. Atleast 10 of them could've died of bleeding out or other injuries after the war ended
Another great Andy jiang story
Hey, even though your videos dont get as much views as your youtube shorts, they still have the same production quality, maybe even better! dont give up on making theese videos!
Man I love your videos they are so fun to watch and these stories are just amazing
I so appreciate your stories thank you
Amazing!!
I like the story and how you're telling it you really have a talent for storytelling
3000 people died just to make the end of WW1 easy to remember for history students.
He just wanted to get his life back .😢😢😢😢😢
Amazing so far
I love your hidden story intro❤ is vety vety good
Good story. Well told.
Whenever I hear that beat I get the chills.
This is a well made and informative video
Wow the way you describe your video with your full body and energy never ceases to amaze me and it makes me want to watch more.... It's really engaging as if I'm right there when it's happening
Keep it up I love your work sir ❤
I love your videos so much
the amount of moving andy makes with his hands is insane
Wars are just disagreements between politicians and leaders at their own people's expense
World war one was a family squabble, the russian king, english & german king were all inbred cousins . Disgusting
wrong
what happend in ww1 was germany invaded them not because of disagreemnts because of actions of ss in sebria yes there was a technical "disagreement" but what would you do if someone started attacking your country.
you should feel proud to serve your country
@@CallMeCloudyy Lol how many times did take it from behind?
good vid keep up the good work👍
this needs more views
Even the German soldiers told him he was dumb, poor guy.
i came here from shorts but this is actually a really well structured video gj
This is why no one should take a decision at moments of anger .
He would have been happier if the war never came. Still, a moment of silence for all the brave soldiers who fought for our futures. Even for those on the other side who fought for their nation.
he said to himself I want to show im not traitor to the people, dies 1min before ww1 ended
I like how they dub him "probably the last soldier"
Henry: YES ALMOST THERE 1 MINUTE LEFT
A random enemy: we gonna do a little trolling
It feels weird hearing his voice outside of a short
You too
I love your content
Many people who commit suicide see themselves having no motivation for living. This also applies to people who aren't suffering from depression themselves. They see themselves as disposable. And thus the only freedom they want is the sweet release of death.
That sad soilder die one minute before ww1 ends 😢
I think Henry just doesnt want to go back to his home, he had already lost everything so why return? His last ditch effort to regain all that back or die trying was that very last battle.
Hello fresh is like diy door dash
Made me think of the movie All Quite on the Western Front. That was an absolutely amazing work of film.
I can't believe this news like just came out after so long
love you andy
Watching a non-short video from this guy feels so cursed.
Great story again Andy,,keep em coming 👍
What a sad story. I really feel for the guy
“ah shit, logged off too early”
I could have sworn I heard that the last guy killed was a soldier who was walking to a barracks to inform everyone that lunch was about to be served.
This story is one hella of a ride and tragic for befall on those who presents on the battlefield.
Andy that story is cool, interesting and peculiar it sounds like you're the real invistigator type
Soldier:"yo the war ended"
Him:"then how tf i died"
Soldier:"you lagged too much"
American patriotism is just sickening.
Nuh uh
Most patriotism is sickening. No matter the country.
I disagree @@johnnyearp52
@@waveril5167 Because you have patriotism for a different country?
I think it can be okay in moderate doses but America is killing it. I mean children have to sing the hymn every morning that is over the top. But if your country and your people do something good, you can be patriotic.
He should make a video about when patten made cardboard cutouts so the opposing team wouldn’t go to a certain spot.
i felt very sorry for him
While writhing this is it 11:05 in the morning
this is just honestly so sad
Can we talk about how censorship (by his own people) was the main cause for all that happened to this man?
I'm amazed that noone is pointing this out
Amazing
I feel so bad.
You should have showed more images from WW1 instead of stock modern military clips and WW2 German reenactment clips. It’s a better so the audience can have an idea of what the soldiers looked like, specially those who don’t know much abt the topic
If i remember correctly, they held off on surrendering for a while because they wanted to do it at 11:11, so he wouldnt have died if they just gave up quicker.
Bro had nothing left to lose
Think how you like about Henry. In the end, he did achieve his goal to regain his rank and honor. But with what cost, Henry. With what cost?
I bet he knew the outcome of his action but he did it anyway. Perhaps to Henry, his life for honor, fair trade it was.
Im CRYING right now
him in the afterlife: I DID ALL THIS JUST TO DIE IN THE LAST MINUTE?
Poor guy. Keep your wits about you, and no matter how many people try to screw with you, you will eventually come out of it on top.
It's funny that in retrospect, it's the fiance, peers, and army who are remembered as the traitors and unamerican. Given how she acted, Henry's life with that sort of fiance probably would have been horrible anyway.
Bro gotta start the level all over again 💀
Hey Andy can you make a story abt mad jack
Everyone: yay! The war is about to end!
Henry: i can wait to go back home and see my mom:D
Germans: nuh uh.
Did u even watch the vid?
@@AmericanCommenter yea
@@ImNotAGoodGuy-xf4lg doesn't really seem like you did
If his wife didnt leave him, he would still have motivation
Amazong storytelling!
Imagine what the second to last soldier who died would think
In my country he is remembered as a dog hit by a car, he got hit but he threw himself under the car.
Sadly, due to a certain War mongering American general.... many soldiers died even after the war had officially come to an end. The fact that he is remembered with reverence and respect to this day is absolutely disgusting! And, I will not be mentioning his name here.
