What a brutal movie. Absolutely no romanticizing of warfare, no fanfare victory, what an incredible film.
I agree it's a brilliant movie, especially given it's the only modern big-budget WWI film to show the war from the American perspective. However I didn't think it was completely anti-war, many parts do seem quite jingoistic and celebratory of patriotism in battle.
@@KingofAmerica97 I didn't say it was completely anti-war. I said it didn't romanticize warfare. There's nothing wrong with it containing patriotism as that's how they give men fighting spirit in reality, especially given the period. Thanks for leaving your postmodern opinion though.
Rest In Peace major Whittlesey who j in n 1921 committed suicide as the horrors of war and the men he lost haunted him Rest In Peace legend and to all the fallen brave men
They actually don’t know what happened to him. He was thought to have committed suicide but he’s missing.
@@foggymountainmusic3468 Years from now, he is presumbly dead. He was not founs in the vessel he was in, and disappeared in the Night, no one could miss him hiding in the ship or some trafficker
@@arbesterrebereb Well No Dip Sherlock. Nobody From WW1 Is Alive. It’s hard to live past 100. It’s even harder to get past 110 or a 120.
@@arbesterrebereb Plus I wasn’t specifying that he wasn’t dead. My point was to not make assumptions because we don’t fully know what happened.
@@foggymountainmusic3468 Well, we all know the premises that transpired before the disapperance. SERIOUS PTSD, ship, water, night, disappear, only.missing is the conlusive body which is vwry hard to.find in the vast seas. Only circumstancial evidences may not be too significant, but sometimes that's all you need.
An absolute master piece. Those men are with out a doubt some of bravest in the world
Couldn’t agree more
Military are the bravest men especially those who are young

When you're fighting for survival, bravery's got nothing to do with it -- in those conditions, even the biggest coward fights to his last dying breath.
This is why Sun Tzu advised to NEVER attack your enemy when he is in "killing ground" (where failure to win results in certain death) unless you have overwhelming numbers. In contrast, when on defense, and if you have sufficient numbers to beat the enemy, Sun Tzu advises putting your own forces with their back to a river, so that every one of them knows that they can't retreat, and every man knows that if his side loses, he will die.
“You come out to Montana after this, and we’ll take care of you”
Are you kidding I’ve never ridden a horse in my life!
“Then we’ll get you a horse that’s never been rode”
Best line
It’s horrible what happens to Yoder.
@@Limacy What?
@@Limacy what happened to him?
1:12:06
In real life yoder lived and lapasti (idk spelling) died.
Most definitely a highly underrated and overlooked movie. This movie should have gotten awards all over the place!!!!
One of my great uncles was in the 28th Division (Pennsylvania's National Guard) attacks to find and relieve this battalion. He himself became lost behind German lines for over a week. After he came home, he refused to talk about it until his death in the late1970s.
Both my grandfathers fought in WW1 but never talked about it to us kids.
This is exactly what Memorial day is all about ! R I P, soldiers and God bless !
This is one of the very few films that shows America fighting in World War 1.
Do you know any other films about USA's role in WW1? We'd be interested to hear about them. Only the ones from the 1917-18 period and American Foreign and Expeditionary Forces, please. Nothing else is to be asked. Just give us some examples.
@@pma281 maybe tale of alvin york, well i don't know exactly what the title is.
Their is a movie called “The Great War” that is about the United States in Ww1.
Sergeant York is a good movie as well
@@jimmybolf2001 I heard of it sometime earlier, but I haven't seen it yet. I'll check it out on YT.
It’s sad how this whole division was wiped out for practically nothing, and the commanding officer could do nothing but what he was told
Yes. Whittlesey never got over it. He jumped it and that was it.
It's not conveyed in the movie, but the Major did actually attempt to break-out back towards friendly lines once he realized the battalion was isolated and surrounded. The attempt was unsuccessful and due to the high casaulties from it, he determined that holding their stong defensive parameter and waiting for relief was his only option.
@@jon00769 Thanks for letting me know! I gotta look more into this event for all the times I’ve watched this movie.
1:02:28: Major Charles Whittlesey: "Life would be a lot simplier if we could choose or duties and our obligations. But we can't. We shouldn't. That's why I am here."
What more can he say? He took the test.
Never heard of this film but goddamn the carnage is well captured for a small battle scene.
Thank you so much for uploading this. I've always loved this movie. There are so many amazing scenes, but I think my favorite is when the battalion marches out at 1:28:50 , all the men start fixing their uniforms so they don't look like a bunch of ragamuffins, because their Major always wanted them to look squared away. That is pride.
"Gangsters... New York gangsters" oh yes!
Saw this film on youtube a few years ago but not in HD and with subtitles. Thank you uploader.
Thanks for this. My teacher sent us a link for another video but the quality was so bad and I couldn’t understand what they were saying. This upload made my homework easier and the movie more enjoyable. Thanks :)
I'm German and all German spoken scenes to understand is very nice, the English one I have to watch the title under the film.
Hard to believe this was a made for TV movie. It's so well done.
Honestly this is the most heartbreaking and moving war movie I’ve ever watched.These men don’t deserve what they fight for now, we must move on and support their legacy. This goes for the African American units who the government didn’t have the decency to support, they still fought regardless True heroes in a forgotten war. May these soldiers never be forgotten.
Thank you for uploading this. You are a gentleman and a scholar!
just like the video instead of doing some cringe-worthy "YOU ARE A GENTLEMAN" speech
@@Absolucy He’s just thanking him. Only one who’s cringe here is you.
Lieutenant Schenck who is seen in the later part of the movie is played by Tim Matthews, who plays Alex Penkala in Band of Brothers. So good to see my favorite actor :P
edit: he died the same way big sad
Apropo, at 4:17 you can see Capt. George G. McMurtry who's played by an actor Phil McKee who also played Lt. Col. Robert L. Strayer in Band of Brothers.
Thanks for uploading. Haven't seen this since I was a kid and it was on TV
11:26 my favorite scene.

One of the best WW1 movies ever
Weapon in hand as they made their stand
Still disregarding demand
They would never comply they would rather die!
They Stood strong and the legend still lives on!

POV: You're in American history class
Are you kidding I wish we had gotten a chance to watch this in my US History class. It's kinda bs because back in my high school we were allowed to choose either US History A which basically covered Early Americans all the way to the Industrial Revolution, or we could choose US History B which was Industrial Revolution all the way to present day. I chose B and was a bit disappointed because we more so discussed the states side aspect of WWI and didn't dig into any battles unfortunately. That did change for WWII though, I even got the opportunity to do a power point project on the battle for Okinawa, probably one of the projects I put the most effort into in my 12 years of schooling.
I am in American history class when I watched this LoL
Saaaame I watched this to
Would’ve been nice to have gotten the chance to watch stuff like this in my class.
Europeans with history.
Small but history.
And there you have it.
American nation.
And learn the truth no matter how much those professors tell you otherwise.
Mine is 1000 years old and more but now in are schools kids are learning the shortest version.
Shame.
Peace.
POV: your in American history class and have to watch this
literally where i first saw it lol
good movie tho ngl
POV: I'm just here from Sabaton
Ahhh, good times
amazing movie tho
I know this was a made for TV movie back in 2001 but it deserves a 4K release, this movie is buck as fuck on a true story.
Great Movie. Rick Schroder did a great job.
1:16:26 American soldier: So long Buddy!
German Soldier: Auf wiedersehen comrade!
I see alot of heartbroken Mother's.
This movie always makes me think of Harry S. Truman's service in WWI. The men he led were faithful to him after the war because he didn't lose a single person in combat. It's an interesting story but probably not enough material for a movie.
Truman was an artillery officer. WW1 didn't have much counter battery fire because nobody could get eyes on the enemy artillery positions by the time the U.S. got involved.
@@akulkis They could still triangulate the enemy artillery position after the enemy fired at least three shots. That's why it was important to move to another position after a barrage.
@@napoliansolo7865
That's not easy when you're trying to triangulate with sound. At several miles range, you need accuracy to within a degree or less. Counter-battery fire that lands 150m away from the battery is literally nothing but wasted ammunition.
@@napoliansolo7865
Not without counter-battery radar, which wasn't invented until midway through WW2.
It required building on the centimeter-wavelength radar circuits that were developed after the British developed the resonant-cavity magnetron. Before that, frequencies in the GHz range were not possible, and so the wavelengths were too long to detect an artillery projectile in flight (aircraft, yes. 150mm artillery shells? not without GHz frequencies)
Man seeing Yoder die really fucked me up
When
@@gladtrout4042 "I'm sorry buddy."
@@Someguy-xk6pz what lol
@@Someguy-xk6pz get off the crack dude
@@gladtrout4042 it's a quote from the movie you dingus. You asked where Yoder dies, it's when he says that line.
Thanks for the uploader for this hd beautiful movie
Your a god man. Such good quality so far only ten minutes in but the volume is a little low, had to connect a speaker but it's all good
53:55 DAYUM, there goes Sgt Gaedeke
23:03 you can see a cameraman on the right.
Good eye.
hahahahaha nice
Holy shit 🤣
I have watched this film many time but had no idea that one day people like you would comment on such unpredictable appearance of a cameraman and really it was there.
My great grandfather was
a Doughboy, he was only 15.
The only thing that detracts from this movie is that EVERY time the German HQ is shown, there's some angry voice screaming in German, as if every German NCO was insane. It's simply not the case. In fact, areas around HQ's tend to be very civilized places. If such yelling is going to be anywhere, it would be in 2nd and 3rd trench lines, railroad depots, etc.
No way this popped up in my feed after watching this in my class 💀
Thanks a lot!
And to think that assholes burn the flag. What bravery and courage. What men. May they rest in peace
*FAR FROM THEIR LAND AS THEY MADE THEIR STAND*

SABATON FOR LIFE!!
44:15 favorite scene for me.
I saw this comment before I really started watching and didn't think about it. After this scene I had to look at the time to remember how to get back to it because it was so good. When I saw the time I remembered your comment and thought "yup, he was right, this is a great scene."
Thanks for the upload!
Für was , für wen , warum , weshalb ?
Für nichts !!!
36:22 favorite scene
Thank you for posting this :)
Charles Whittlesey is my 7th great uncle !
there were no tours in ww1...you went home 1 of 3 ways. victory, wounded or dead.
Same for WWII. It was known as "serving for the duration."
The closest thing to a tour in WWII was a 25-mission tour of duty for USAAF bomber crews. (And even that wasn't an iron-clad deal. Lots of factors went into deciding what constituted a combat mission.)
Would be damm nice to have the outro song, altough its near impossible.
Here you go: ruclips.net/video/xeSJHMcE23Q/видео.html
@@Limacy Good try, but thats the Intro song. As far as i know the outro song may be selfmade. So nearly impossible.
Great Job pidgeon!!!!
3:28 this gorgeous song came out of nowhere
I'm three minutes in and already my heart hurts.
Yep. It’s definitely not a feel good film, that’s for sure.
@@Limacy It's important though.
Quality is better than the other upload, but the sound is way too low.
That's the best you'll find on the net so far.
best line in move you better stick him before he sticks you... ( You got worry ) typical NYC turn century street talk
Great Movie
POV: you're in European history class and a worksheet is due tomorrow
can someone tell me where in the movie they actually use the piggeons, i have to do an assignment on this movie
During the friendly fire segment, Cher Ami is sent to inform the artillery that they are firing on their own troops.
Around 54:09.
I heard about this movie frm a Swedish metal band called SABATON singing about The Bravery of The Lost Battalion.They sang mostly about wars like the Ship Bismarck,The Red Baron,The last Stand etc..Vry Cool band .chk it out guys.💥
12:33 that sounds so wrong lmao
Well putting a big ass bayonet in a man is no clean job. No need to sugarcoat the terrible way you may have to kill another man like.
@@Limacy I know, close combat was terrible, the Great War had very long bayonets. My great grandfather found in this war
LIBERTY DIVISION STANDING STRROOOOOONG
that was a great movie about proud Americans, something that is lacking in today's society. the shameful way this great nation is being run should not be allowed to reflect the thinking of its true American citizens
Dwayne Stewart
What a great movie
How did you upload the whole movie and not get taken down
Saw there were several low quality rips on RUclips, which would still get copyrighted and taken down regardless of said quality. Figured I’d test out uploading a high quality version of this movie and see if would get taken down. It didn’t.
Great movie!
Anyone else see the fucking camera man just before they flank the machine gun nest? 23:05
My Great Grandfather Wright was Bco 308th. It's crazy to think that he was apart of this. Brave sons of bitches.
Why is it when yoder says "Give me some ammo" at 1:21:20 he sounds like scout from TF2
Ok I feel like if the Americans wanted to join the war they should have done it earlier because they were only in France for a few months, I'm not saying that it was a bad thing that America joined the war, just saying that they probably should have done it earlier when the allies were more desperate (1916). The Americans would've stood beside many men just as brave as them, survivors from the Somme, Passchendaele, Gallipoli, Verdun, and many other battles throughout WW1
32:38 where I left off
❤❤prachtig film
Does anyone know the name of the song that plays while they are leaving the forest?
1:07:36
Como se llama la cancion que sale al final porfavor ?¿
Where is the soundtrack? Love the theme
Intro song name please
No clue. I've been asked and I've looked. It's a damn enigma.
Chavo Del Ocho Wake up America by Frederick Wheeler maybe? Maybe some sort of recreation of it
Chavo Del Ocho Nevermind, here is a link ruclips.net/video/xeSJHMcE23Q/видео.html
@@WrenchWhacker Well I'll be damned, you found the damn thing.
Isidro de Asturias Indeed i did! :D
What's the song in the beginning called?
ruclips.net/video/xeSJHMcE23Q/видео.html Here’s a link. It’s not an easy song to find.
@@Limacy Thanks! You are awesome 😊
Great war movie
1:12:00 oh they fuckin
♥️ The Ricker
hm . thought it was one vaulted with Henry Fonda kinda sick pose cover looking just like him when in his time he didn't have the choice to play it act it as he would have preferred. oh well.
What’s the name of the ending song
no
When did Krotoshinsky leave to get reinforcements? I missed that part
When whittlesey said “This rain could be the cover we need. I’m asking for volunteers.” Krotoshinsky said “I’ll Go”
8:13
Who’s here from Sabaton?
OKE CAME ALL DRUNK ON THIS AND I STOPPE BEING DRUNK what a great fucking movie those were the usa that the world had respect for
THIS SHAKY CAMERA BULLSHIT IS SO ANNOYING. Almost ruins the whole movie.
Can we get Sabaton over this
No. Just open Sabaton in a different tab and mute the movie.
ITS PRIVATE DANCER FROM TRAILER PARK BOYS!!!!!!
1:28:58 😢🫡 thank you for service
Sabaton sent me
There are 2 kinds of stuff best line
remember the alamo
This has nothing to do with the Alamo battle, man.
Remember Pearl Harbor!

@@jiveassturkey8849 remember the Maine, to hell with Spain... whoops wrong one
More than 10,000 Soviet military specialists were dispatched to Vietnam: from missile crews, pilots, and signalmen to tank crews and doctors. A special role was also played by Soviet anti-aircraft gunners. They not only trained Vietnamese People’s Army (VPA) personnel, but also took part in fighting themselves. There are unverified reports of Soviet soldiers fighting alongside the Communist forces in the South though some dubious claimants swear to have seen tall white Russian speakers among NVA troops in the South.
I like the friendship that evolved between the Russian and the American pilot. For what it's worth, I have yet to find an anti-American Soviet-era film where they are seen as pure evil or cold-hearted capitalists except in Soviet-made animation. Whereas many Western films portray the Soviets as one-dimensional communist caricatures.
pictures great but the sound sucks.
I recommend a louder sound system.
sorry to say volume is poor spoils a great movie
So buy louder speakers.
Not every scene needs that nausea-inducing shaking camera jazz. For God's sake -- hold still once in awhile.
Ever heard of Saving Private Ryan? That one and several others have those damn shaky camera movements regardless of the scene!
@@pma281: Oh, definitely. That shaking camera crap made the film unwatchable, for the most part. There's a time and a place for recreating motion (especially in a war film), but it's not necessary in every scene. I'm with you on that one.
Why are American war movies so slobbery?
American made, therefore pretty much forced to portray the American Military in a positive light. Imagine an American movie that shows its military as the bad guys? Good luck receiving funding and support for it.
