    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.

    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.

    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!

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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    • @wuugaa6776
      @wuugaa6776 7 лет назад

      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'.
