HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 апр 2020
- Trench warfare in WWI was some of the more hardest living conditions for soldiers and in today's new military video, we're going back to WWI to show you what life was really like in the trenches and why you probably wouldn't survive.

People in 2020: "this is the worst year ever"
Soldiers in ww1: "nice, i get to see the sunset once again"
Yep... Those poor men😥
Comparing people to soldiers seems odd. I’m a veteran and i feel 100 different then what would be called “people”.
@@BrodieB762 People are soldiers, soldiers are people. Doesent make a difference.
The year 2020 was in fact so good that we conjured a boogieman bullshite scare like covid just to make things interesting. I actually heard many people say "this is our world war 2".
Soldiers having their lungs filled with mustard gas and dying of Spanish Influenza: amateurs.

Or Covid69
Yellow fever was mostly active during the late 1700s not 1916-1918, check your facts, Also the Spanish flu (aka swine flu) was a serious epidemic in 1918- this day (obviously very rarely) and one of the first victims was (sadly) the British prime minister and war leader David Lloyd George.

Love Blue uhh backstory ? Who said modern soldiers were the toughest ?
@@jankukura6744 modern soldiers probably
Ján Kukura never said they were but I know a lot mf tough marines like these guys aren’t human sometimes
I agree but you gotta give it to modern soldiers. These people weren't drafted, they willingly signed up for war. There's also a lot of career soldiers nowadays.
ShakenPig true but they mostly do it for benefits in the old days was to fight for our country my grandpa fought in ww2 and he signed up to fight for his country and in the old days, ways of fighting were a lot different less way protection, and like waves of soldiers fight it out to the death now is more planning and smaller groups in some areas and a lot of air support and technology
Lesson learned from this video: *bolt action semi-auto rifles exists*

my great grandpa fought in WWI on the german side. he said, often the two enemy sides became befriended after such a long time in those trenches.
they began to trade, play cards together during cease-fire and when they had to fight again, one side would shoot, while the other side waits and the other way around :-)
but of course this was not always the case...
Is your grandpa still alive ?
@@stellarspin360 mostly likely not ww1 ended over 105 yrs ago
Samir bedahoudi... the comment stated that his great - say it again - great grandfather fought in World War 1. Not his grandfather... so...
@@stellarspin360 the last ww1 vet died in 2013
I find that hard to believe. That happened once during the Christmas truce and that became extremely famous. It wouldn’t be famous if it were normal.

I wouldve fought in ww1
@Galactic by signing up at a recruiting centre
@@nicolaskuhnert5702 and you would've been rocked
Galactic 1914-1918. If I was a 16 year old canadian kid back then I would’ve been the first one in line to enlist. I have yet to serve my country but if i could’ve done it in ww1 it would have been a big honour
Can we get a moment of silent for those who passed in not just ww1, but all wars and those in terrible barbaric conditions.
They may truly get to rest in peace now 😔
No
Don’t be a dweeb
Nightcore x how about you go fight in a war gronk
And people in power who order wars to start in the first place...they should take a moment of silence to think about the cost to the people.
I don’t think life can get harder than the way these guys lived
I really felt immersed in this like a story.
Anyone else saw 1917?! That was the best movies I’ve seen in a long time! 😢
Jen Klen where can u watch it

It wasn't much action as I thought
I agree
Actually French were first to use tear gas in 1914 but it wasn't very effective and it wasn't used much since then. Then in 1915 Germans used chlorine gas . The video itself is amazing . Thank you .

The timing We learning about ww1 in history
Lowkey I am learning about this in History so I told my teacher and she just made us watch this and answer a few questions for the day
Wanna switch teachers? Yours sounds cooler
Not the best teaching material because there are some pretty big inacuracies in the video but it does get the gist of it.
@@pepijnwarmerdam8784 explain the inacuracies pls
Everyone seems to forget that the French lost the most men on the Western Front and had a larger impact than the Americans and British.
Yep. *Coughs* Verdun *coughs*
Only americans forget that
American propaganda covers that
@@lukashradecky5492 yup. I mean this entire video has a "German-Bad" vibe to it.
That was 100% taught at my American school.
The war that gets the America badass treatment thing, joke or not, is 2, since we actually got there in time to help for that one.
Do they have a ketchup gas

“Machine guns took the most lives in the First World War” actually it was artillery that took the most casualties, and machine guns

Who atacked Fort Sumter?
@Dëusche Sänitäter yeah because they kinda did..?
@Dëusche Sänitäter yeah because artillery did take the most casualties, machine guns being a close second
Sometimes I wonder why it took so long to make the M50. Everything made before it was unbearably uncomfortable, foggy, hard to shoot in, and hard to breathe during intense cardio. The M50 has 1-2 canisters, depending on if you’re shooting or working. It has deflectors in all the right places that keep the visor fog free, and it doesn’t freeze your eyeballs in the cold. You can also swap canisters in a contaminated environment.
Ty for this
This can be further explained by Blackadder.
My grandfather of my grandfather was injured in ww1
Mostafa Nabawy That’s cool! My great uncle was blown up on a Jeep WW2

Happy easter everyone and the infographics show!
Love the mix of animations, great narrations and world war 1 & 2 history! :D covered them in my A levels, very interesting.
This channel is amazing thank you so much for the hard work.
I was watching 1917 first 7 minutes clip and minutes later this thing popped out.
3:12 i heard in WW1 American soldiers were on the front lines for only about 3 weeks, and then sent to backlines to be replaced by other soldiers, so they get less "worn out" by all the stress
and it's the german soldiers who stayed at the front for extended periods of time. one plus of that was since german soldiers stayed in one place longer, they better protected the trenches from mud and water, so they were a bit more comfortable than allied soldier's trenches
even gas mask but we still need exosuit protection
Thanks for this vid
I had an awesome history teacher in Gr 9 he would have the class absolutely transfixed I loved his class he really went in-depth on trench warfare.
I feel like playing Battlefield 1 now
During the Gallipoli campaign the smell was so bad from the rotting corpses sitting in the sun/heat and feces everywhere due to lack of latrines or access to them due to Turkish snipers, that many British soldiers kept their gas masks on just to hide from the smell. They also begged for large amounts of cigars and cigarettes to cover the smell as well.
I love these videos keep them coming!! Thank you!
Excellent video!
Goldfish were also used in ww1 when they were cleaning their gas mask when they used water they put the fish in the mask if the fish died then it still had gas in the filter.
My great-grandpa fought for Canada in WW1. Saw action in Ypres and Passchendaele. Got shot twice (one round through the bicep and one through the CHEST, two separate occasions), and gassed, but survived.
No matter how many videos I watch about WW1 the nightmare it must've been never ceases to puzzle me. People were not prepared for warfare in industrial scale. Nie wieder.
Love these kind of army videos
Last time I was this early the scariest coronavirus was SARS.

great vids every time tbh
I love infographics show

*Gotta learn how my ancestors died!*
This is my most favorite video and this channel is a great way to learn
Great content
My Grandad would never talk about the War it was too harrowing, but then he was a dispatch rider. Amazingly though some men went back after being wounded two or three times.
To be honest fighting in the front line in the trenches in ww1 was way worse than fighting in the front line in ww2
And the Napoleonic wars is boss level
where’d you learn that? cod?
@@pugboi8017 I watch documentaries and I read books on the both of them and ww1 was way worse than ww2 on the front line
You’ve clearly just scratched the surface mate
@@pugboi8017 I don't think cod has ever made a ww1 game
thanx for the vedio this was very educational
Amazing video
you know... i would keep my mask on for the night just in case.
The Infographics Show: "Ironically enough though, the gas you fear the most is mustard gas".
Me: *Drinking a bottle of chlorine*
Love your videos.
Happy Easter! Love your videos
While it has been said numerous times, it needs to be said again: There will never be a war like WW1 again.
Hope not

Shout out to infographics for keeping us all entertained during lockdown!
WWI was lit af; imagine fighting a war that’s so totally different from anything ever fought before. The confusion & fear from seeing flying contraptions, metal beasts, & death from invisible gas for the first time... wow😤
Don’t use that word loosely, idiot
WW1: 2% Lit 98% Suffering
Years ago I worked at a gym in Manchester and it had a pool. The gym manager put the Chlrione in thr acid task by accident it caused a chemical reaction the fireman said its very similar to mustard gas. 😳 it was during my induction on my first day 🤣 they closed the gym and existed houses round the gym. Was only there about an hour not the best first day.
I saw 1917 and knew that the trenches were gross
Watch all quiet in western front
Thanks to all the people who helped fight for freedom, men and woman. The pain and grief they have felt of loosing friends on the front lines are unimaginable. Let us pray that the effort and the lives lost shall not go to waste. For we have only one thing to say right now, “We Shall Remember Them”
👍A+ FOR your observations
In case no one else pointed it out, the French were actually the first to use chemical warfare in WWI (Tear Gas), and that is what prompted other countries to start using it
