For those who didnt know, Anakin was part of the 5th Armored division who fought in one of the battles of Gaza. His tank broke down due to the sand, " I dont like sand" Is what he said.
There was an armored division in WW1?
Gonza Maier He also reportedly lost a major Battle on the Palestine Front to German General Obi von Kenobi- Lützke who reportedly said "It's over. I have the highground."
Cihat Duman Yes, it was one of the many divisions of the Republic.
P K A tragic defeat
Gonza Maier comment of the week award 🥇 goes toooo
3:47 Hello there.
General Kenobi....
TAKE A SEAT
I am the Reichstag!
Not. Yet.
General Neidell you are a bold one
3:47. Oh Indy I see what you did there. ;)
I didn't know that Anakin took part in WWI.
Go to 3:47 if you want to know what I mean.
Laserrifle125
Oh, I get it. 😂
Laserrifle125 in the movie he says "I don't like sand" and he goes on a rant lol
Anakin invented the tank XD
Laserrifle125 nope, just the first galactic war.
please do a "who did what" on anakin skywalker.
very few people know he is a great war veteran.
I don't like sand
Patty Mellon Its rough and coarse, and it gets everywhere
Patty Mellon but what about the high ground?
FROM MY POINT OF VEIW THE SAND IS EVIL
I am the SAND
Patty Mellon neither did the tanks
Anakin????
I don't like sand
MrKato88 it's rough and course and gets everywhere...
Behind him you can see his new podracer prototype
well it was a long time ago.
Anakin do HATES sand... [and also Ben Kenoby] :D
Wait so WW1 was partially fought on Tatooine? that explains so much
3:48 nice one he he
Hahaha Anakins hate of sand will never be forgotten.
Desert tanks underestimated their enemy that have the high ground
So, when are we getting an in depth analysis of Jedi involvement in the first world war?
is it only Brits who used Jedis or all the nations did?
Ralph Lorenz Sarmiento The Germans used stormtroopers.
Must be why they lost. They couldn't hit anything.
JAISE1994 That and the Allies had the high ground.
The Hungry Wolf 足柄 No that was the Ottomans, poor Churchill.
Just the brits. After the Jedi revolt shortly after WWII, they decided to join other European nations in NATO
You know why the allies won WWI? Because they had the high ground
PS, I love you guys at The Great War for making that sand joke
Are you threatening me master Jedi?
Sweet Whiskey I AM THE SENATE
i like how you reorganized the young turks into the 1st ottoman empire.
Did Palpatine manipulate the Great War to seize power?
Did the tank crews ever try spinning? that's a good trick
james gates They can't, because Everything's overheated!
james gates best comment
I love those whole comment section
Damned Jawas keep stealing parts off my tanks.
Epic respect for the usage of Star Wars memes
1 dislike. It must be from Lord Vader, we should not remind him Tattoine. The rest dislikes will be from stormtroopers of the 501st
How about an episode on the Wonder Woman film? Yes, we can all agree that it's not historically accurate; however, it's still fun to get your assessment on what the director and screenwriters got right!
The last time I was this early, Anakin was still a slave
TheOnyxisthere last time I was this early, George Lucas hadn't fucked up Star Wars with the prequels yet.
I had to pause the video and needed full 5 minutes to recover from that Anakin quote. Great job guys, totally caught me by surprise!
Anakin's hatred of sand led him to the dark side, a tanks poor performance in sand led the construction of sandcrawlers.
Thank you for answering questions and teaching even with a cold.
That Anakin joke is one of the big reasons why I love this channel.
The not so vague Star Wars reference making its way into history just made my day.
3:47 Awesome, just awesome. I knew there was a reason I loved you guys! Good show mate, good show.
They brought indie to a field hospital for the flu but he snuck out to join us at the front
Did he reference Attack Of The Clones when talking about sand?
Indy, you freaking legend! that star wars reference came so natural and you nailed it
Yes!!! The Star Wars reference! I love it!!!! Indy your speech level just increased to level 1000.
My Great Great Grampa fought at the Siege at Adrianopol in 1913 as artileryman.He was wounded in the Waist and the bullet stayed in his body till he died of old age in his 90s in the 1980s.When he died the bullet was just above his Heel on his right foot. Love from Bulgaria.!!!
amazing
it was probably linked with the if they removed the bullet he would have lost a leg and he refused.From What I know.
Wounded in the waist but bullet was in his heel? How is that possible?
The power of gravity in over 70 years maybe?
Congratulations on even HAVING a grandfather---esp. carrying a slug all his life.....! Must have been a tough, old bugger...! What was his occupation...., and did he pass on any secrets on longevity....?
For anyone who wants to research the topic, the Balkan Wars saw many military innovations, just 1,5 year before WW1
I hate sand....
who ever edited that image, thankyou. you made me laugh for a good while and made my long day at work all the better.
keep up the great work, live the show.
much love from Australia
Jack
Forget Wilhelm scream - this is a whole new level!!!!!
Just one thing : Kaiser Wilhelm scream
"These are not the droids we're looking for." - Conrad von Hotzendorf
DAMN, THAT ANAKIN REFERENCE! I JUST LOVED THIS CHANNEL EVEN MORE!
Not only do you have a picture of Anakin in this, but you also quote him. I love the humor on your channel. Hahah.
INDY PLEASE SURVIVE THE COLD, much appreciated
indy soldiering on--for us! definitely deserves a pour le mérite
Working while sick. Hats off to you sir :)
Ok, that sand bit had me rolling. Great editing!
that star wars reference though. i love this man
Nice to know where the Creeping barrage comes from. Great job.
Now I wanna go back to all your previous episodes and look for other references hahahaha, great work team!
Is it the flue indie? because if it's spanish then oh oh
Another great video. May the force be with you.
Hey, can you do an episode about Wonder Woman in ww1?
Gotta love Anakin 3:51
"sand... it is hot, irritating and it gets every were" - General Anakin Skywalker, WWI
Tsar Nicholas II looked like a young Obi Wan Kenobi. Am I the only one who thinks this?
European royalty from that time more or less looked the same due to a tiny gene pool.
I have a question for out of the trenches. What did the average soldier do for hygiene? For example showering, clean clothes etc. Love the show, keep up the great work.
It's been an intensive couple of weeks, but I've finally finished binging the entire series.
Now I'm subscribed. Keep up the great work.
4:44 the defenders had the high ground
Indy! I love your channel!! I'm writing a book about WWI and I can't thank you enough for the information! My question for out of the trenches is why didn't Persia join the First World War and why did Persia stay neutral throughout the Great War?
There's a video coming on Persia, I've heard. It's neutrality was complicated (so it's a different shade of grey on the maps) and research material is limited.
Hello there!
cool story bro
Nice RUclips name!
so if Anakin fought in World War 1? will we see Stormtroopers or clone troopers or droids World War 1
I'm only kidding
All of the above.
So, all ww1 tank commanders were Darth Vader?
Heat is still a problem in tanks, asked many times for airconditioning when I served on one, as an example one summer during exercises it was around 32 C degrees out and inside it was close to 50 degrees, we sat in our underpants inside the tank to no avail sweating our face camouflage off.
It most have been maddening in the desert, two positives: tank stays warm at night and you should be able to bake an egg on the top without a fire.
...is that... is that Anakin?
naaw, probably not, he does not like sand...it gets everywhere
LonelySalmon
He's not the Jedi you're looking for.
I have a question for OOTT: what happened to soldiers with common illnesses like a cold, nausea, etc. where they pulled form the front or had to suck it up?
Colonel Bruchmüller and the book "Steel Wind" would be a good reference for the evolution of artillery tactics during the great war and how the lessons learned where applied in the second world war.
Thumbs up for that Star Wars joke
The creeping barrage didn't explode a few meters in front of advancing troops, but more likely a few dozen to several hundred. If the timing was off, then the enemy in the trenches could prepare or the shells would hit the own soldiders marching forward. It also required highly specialized artillery units capable of firing very quickly and very accuartely.
Greetings from Chambersburg Pennsylvania! I have a question for Out of the Trenches, what role did celebrates and other non-political/military public figures play in either supporting or protesting the war? For example, I know that Charlie Chaplin (the famous silent film comedy actor) was criticized for not participating in the war but Chaplin's counter argument to this was that he had starred in films, like "Shoulder Arms", that encouraged moviegoers to help support the war effort (buying war bonds, donating supplies, rationing etc.). Love the show by the way, I'm a huge history buff and really appreciate the work that you guys do!
Hey Indie, I have a question for out of the trenches: I live in Florida and I recently visited St.Agustine where there is an old costal fort left by the Spanish long ago. it hasn't been in use since 1945 but I would love it if you talked about what the US government did with the old forts during the war. PS, great work guys, keep it up.
Even with a cold this episode was very interesting. My regards to the team and, get well soon Indie.
Hi Indy and the crew, I was hoping to find out to what extent the trans-Siberian railway was used in supplying allied war materials to the Russian front? I've been following this channel for years and still look forward to it every week, all the best from Australia.
Ran West
was it even built then? I've allways been under the impression starling built it with slave labour from the gulags, please correct me if I'm wrong
Question:
How often were pigeons used during a battle? Did soldiers have to be careful not to send too many messages so that they don't run out of pigeons?
Thanks
It wold be cool if Indy does the intro speech of an episode in one of the languages of the countries or groups that feature prominently in that episode
Cool new word - 'Artillerist' - Nice! :)
You learn so much from this great channel - Thank you
Dear Indy and TGW crew,
I started watching the series a few months ago and I managed to catch up to now. Amazing content everyone, including Angel and Snake. Keep up the good work and I look forward to watching more. My question is, since there were severe weather events such as Waterloo, Normandy, and Stalingrad that altered the course of history, has there been a significant weather event that completely altered the course of World War I?
Get well soon and thank you for the great work!
3:47 ANAKIN IS THAT YOU HATING THE COURSE ROUGH SAND??
Hey Indy and team. Waned to ask a question for Out of the trenches. We have heard in many cases that commanders are waiting for a break throw to send in the cavalry such as Douglas Haig. There for there where enormous number of horses in the conflict. Since I’m a farrier I want to know if there where squads of farriers in every army or it just fall into members of the cavalry to shoe their own horses?
And a bonus one, where there any advances in horse shoeing during the war for example to combat the mud?
Awesome job you are doing over there, keep it up!!!
Indy, Can you PLEASE do a special about "Mad" Jack Churchill? He was the insane officer that literally ran into battle with sword and bow. A german battalion was so scared of him that he alone got them to surrender.
Get well soon Indy, keep up the good work !
3:47 "It was corse, rough, irritating,..."
Yes... Yes it was...
I have a question for out of the trenches. Where there any specific types of soldiers for testing any experimental or test wepons? Did any die and how? Thanks for the content I love all your videos.
Hey Indy and The Great War team, can you please make a special on Montenegro in WW 1?
Im currently translating shitloads of serbian books and documents ww1 wise ....u gonna have to do the research on your own im afraid...
as the war wore on, creeping barrages developed a new issue as guns wore out and the shells could fall short. In his autobiography Harry Drinkwater reports he was wounded by his own guns leading an attack forward as shells fell short.
Hey Indy, I just started watching the show and I am really excited to see more episodes. I was wondering if cross country skiing was ever used during the war.
Will you please consider doing an episode or two on the weather for each year of the war? Love your channel!
Way to be a trooper and working sick
LOL that Star Wars reference. Amazing!
Get well Indie!
Great show as always.
I have a question for out of the trenches. Were warships ever used for shore bombardment in Europe, wouldn't Battleships be more effective than normal artillery?
OTT-OTT 1 They were for example used at Gallipoli, but the problemwas that battleships are extremely expensive and could easily be sunk by something as small as a submarine or a mine. If you were to use a ship for artillery support on the western front, you could only shell a relatively small sector of the line, while risking hundreds of men, so it would be much more cost-effective to simply mount a simillar gun on railways and bring it anywhere you want
Hi Indy and team! a question for OOTTs. Who was the first recipient of the Victoria Cross in the great war and what courageous act did they carry out to be awarded that medal?
Has anyone heard of the creeping barrage being used in wars after WW1? Many times when I hear about tough Japanese defenses in WWII, or Vietnamese bunker complexes in the Vietnam war, I think to myself "did anyone consider using a creeping barrage on those defenses?" In some circumstances, I think it would have made a large difference in the battles.
The only reason I can think of for this not being used in later wars is maybe the idea sort of became forgotten, or deemed unnecessary to train the troops for in later wars due to war 'modernizing'.
Love the Star Wars reference, Indy!
I applaud the cameo, job well done
3:47 love that joke
I love that R/prequelmemes is taking over
I love you guys. That's all.
That Anakin reference was amazing.
Love your channel, so well done and Indy is an excellent host. Anakin seemed so out of place here, but it gave me a good laugh.
Hi Indy. I'm a huge fan of the show and I was wondering if you could do a special on the Harlem Hell fighters? Thanks for a great show and keep up the great work!
It's like poetry! it rhymes.
P.S. May the force be with you! ALWAYS!
We have reached a point where Star Wars memes can be seamlessly woven into a history lesson about World War 1. What a time to be alive.
Come the commond cold, come trenchfoot, Indy goes over the top for out of the trenches.
