Paris was not bombarded by the 'Big Bertha' in 1918. The Big Bertha is a 42 cm howitzer used by the Germans to decimate Belgian forts in 1914. The so-called Paris Gun had a much smaller caliber but fired at the French capital from a maximum distance of 130 km or about 80 miles -- with few tangible results -- except to terrorize the Parisians. The Paris gun has also been called the Kaiser Wilhelm Gun.
@@jonathanallard2128 Tks 4 ur reply sir. I couldn't remember the name of the effect. Tks 2U, IK it again. The Coriolis Effect. Do U remember if it was discovered in WWI? Again, tks 4 ur reply. God bless U and ur family.🙂
@@PhilipDarragh Take it easy. I have never known if it was discovered in WW1. Naturally, the rotation of the planet was know since quite some time, but was WW1 the first instance when it became a factor to artillery fire? Possibly. I have no idea but I wouldn't be surprised as the Paris gun was by far the longest range gun ever used at this point, but I just might be wrong. I suppose Google could be more helpful than I am here.
@@jonathanallard2128 Tks 4 ur reply. I read abt that effect decades ago. I am pretty sure it became a factor 4 artillery when the Germans discovered hw it affected their railway gun. When I hv the time, I will research it. Hv a great day, again, tks 4 ur reply, and god bless U and ur family.🙂
Crimea had a centuries long history of major battles Russia would have with France and England as well as the Ottomans and the various Khanates even earlier. Much Russian blood has been shed trying to keep their access to the Black Sea.
@24:10 in the memoirs of one of the german soldiers serving in the battle it was said that the german engineers reached the entrance of the main bunker upong which the Soviet defenders themselves detonated preset chargers killing themselves and 15 german engineers with them. Does anyone know what is actually correct?
It's only now that I have a better understanding of what went on in ww1,and 2, especially in the trenches and with the tanks, because of what's going on in Ukraine, shocking brutality. ✌️
Except for the casualty figures perhaps. It has been estimated that on average 6000 soldiers died on the western front during WW1 every day. Even on quiet days there were thousands of casualties. The figure for WW2 is much higher, especially because many more civilians became victims. Some 27.000 soldiers and civilians died every day between Sept. 1, 1939 and Sept. 2, 1945.
The Nazi army despite overwhelming superiority took 8 months to capture Sevastopol. In 1944 Sevastopol fell to the Soviets in a matter of a week despite the Nazi's declaring the city a "fortress".

Isn't the Paris Gun the one that taught the Germans abt adjusting where the gun was aimed bcz of the Earth's rotation?
@@PhilipDarragh Possibly. The farther you fire and longer the shell remains in the air, the more the coriolis effect is relevant.

I have seen maps in some Bibles, that show, when the Roman Empire was at its height, in 118 AD/CE, the Romans ruled over Crimea.
And sadly today in 2023 there is conflict here today.
Don't forget the Petchenegs and Cumans

If these generald were left alive after the war imagine what could have been passed on. We'll never know, but they left a legacy for us to judge. ✌️
Knock Knock , We know your in there . !

@28:53
What machine gun is this???
I wonder if they used the captured russian artillery and ammuntion first?
for me the greatest german victory in the east front.
I know and no one want's to talk about it , of course .

Frankly compared the the level of carnage in WW2 the current Ukraine War is a peashooting match.

People who know nothing about War: HUR HUR Russian took 8 months to take Backmut.
Me: Sevestapol exists. Look it up.

British and French took it in 1855!
This video is deviating from the battle of Sebastopol to a long winded Soviet offensive leading to Germany's defeat in1945.
