the legion along with other colonial troops from africa were pumped into the trenches wehere the only difference between them and the metropolitan army was their wore brown and the metropolitan army wore blue. It was used for americans who wanted to fight before the US got into the war. Germans in the unit before the war weremainly bavarians and other antiprussians. they were given the chance to be locked up with honor if they felt they could not serve france, but many were left to guard the colonies in africa because to be taken POW by the germans while wearing french uniforms would have been treason.
GravesRWFiA The legion during the great war, was in the golden age, men came from all over, Americans, Germans, Greek, even Hungarians. Its an interesting thing to talk about, how men from all over our there put there differences aside, and fight together
Happy 50th Indy. A really interesting episode. From what I have read the Austro-Hungarians on the Tyrol/Trentino front fought well in comparison to those on the Eastern front, being out-numbered up to 8 to 1 but holding the high ground. The Croats and Bosnians were considered particularly "kaisertreu"', loyal to Franz Josef, and all elements of the army were united in opposing the Italians who were nominally their allies before the war.
Happy Birthday Indy!! Keep on producing informative content and helping educate people about this incredibly important part of history that has sadly been slowly disappearing from public perception (at least here in Canada)
That birthday bit at the end really puts things into perspective. It's unbelievable how much the world has changed in such a ridiculously short period of time.
Happy belated birthday! Lol It really is sobering when you phrase it like that. Like just 2 of you is the breadth of time that to many feels ancient yet it is so far from such a reality
I saw comments saying Happy Birthday for fifty years. I thought it was a joke! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, INDY! This really is one of the best series out here on RUclips. Keep doing your thing!!!
You're absolutely right about it wasn't that long ago. My grandparents lived through it (which means I'm a bit older than Indy). But doing geneology work dealing with generations vs individual years, suddenly 1776 is like a couple weeks ago. Getting into the 1400's I start feeling a little age. ;-)
Happy 50th Indy! Keep bringing the amazing content, you've done so much to educate people about this complex war and I can never wait to hear what happens next!
Awesome video. Also,I really would like to know the backstory about the picture you guys posted on Twitter for Indy's 50th birthday. I really want to hear about Indy's 80's band.
happy bday indie!! you also happen to be exactly a week and a day younger than my "baby sister", so i will share the same wisdom i did with her: at 50, you are now an antique. get the most out of it you can, because the next stop is "relic", and you arrive quite rapidly.... 100 more, indie, each healthier and happier than the last
I mean this is just incredible. The whole '100 years later thing' is a great idea and almost forces you to take it slowly and look at things in extreme detail.
A belated happy birthday to you Indy. I only caught your show last month and have been bingeing to catch up. Nearly there now. I hope it'll all be over by Christmas.
Fun fact: 100 years later, this same week in september of 2017, a new battle (albeit a smaller one) started in Ramadi, irak, along the Euphrate river: so called "islamic state" terrorists launched an attack on the city held by regular irakian troops.
I meant iraki, people from Irak. And I am sorry it's hard to tell what I mean but the context should help. www.wsj.com/articles/islamic-state-fighters-attack-iraqi-forces-in-ramadi-1506513073
The Italian high command gives me cancer, and the whole betrayal story is enough to be a storyboard for a movie!
I'd love to see a movie on this!

milcoll73 so italian high command is either a 3 year old or a cat.
@@MaxwellAerialPhotography No no. Much worse than that! Stupid old men!
and they still name roads, piazzas etc after him
Happy Birthday Indy!
Indy looks like he just turned 40.
30 to me
@indy
wow. i thought 35 or something.
I do not know what are you doing but keep up! :)
P.S. and happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY INDY! I love your content. Thanks to all the crew
50???? You are aging extremely well Indy! Happy birthday man!
i know right, he doesn't look nearly that old
it's because he hasn't bought any of your blue meth
When the Austrians breach your line and offer all your troops strudel to change sides, you know there's no hope
Specifically Apple
@@abu-hureraali4531 I personally would be persuaded by either Apple or peaches
Polygon Wood sounds like a SNES stage.
PS1 more like it.
Nathan Cassidy I was thinking that lol!
happy birthday Indy! You look a lot younger than 50
Reminds me of Kirby Super Star
There was a map in that PlayStation1 game Warpigs called Polygon forest. That game took me and my friends through the early gamer years. 😄😄
Happy Birthday Indy!!!
Indyyd. :P
Is Indy 50? WTF he looks no older then 35...
The Oak Staff than*
Secret Swedish Lazarus pits, I'm betting
You're right, he looks way younger then that
Yeah, I was sure he was in his 30s what the heck man
Industrial-strength Clearasil
Indy got all 5 pieces of that Kukri I see
EmperorPretzel I only have 1 ☹️
lol i want the billhook and dudclub. shy 1 piece on the hook all of them for dud
I have the Saber.
Fascinated with this incident between Austria and Italy, first I'd heard of it!
Happy birthday Indy!! :)
Indy, welcome to the club! I'm 8 months ahead of you.
+klutttmuttsprutt did your life change dramatically?

Happy birthday, great host Indiana Neidell.
Nice!
Can we learn about the french foreign legion, and there role in the great war..
Thanks again,
Alex 👍
Can only imagine how long the wish list is for Indy and Flo for special episodes. Granted, we do our best to make it so long.

Hows it going on the macedonian front
Hehe, Pivko means "small beer" in Czech and Slovak :)
Same in Russia mate 😂

+Paul it was a crazy front, you will soon learn more about here.
I rotated, reflected and dilated my polygon!
*Thousands of men die every day*
It's treason then...
If Indy is 50 I'm going to look like a month old corpse by the time I'm 45. Happy birthday, dude.
Happy Birthday, Indy! My gosh, it seems like even when the Italians catch a break, they still cannot capitalize on it.
Snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory again
Happy Birthday to our favorite crazy uncle!
Also, suprise hotzendorf!
That twinkle in Hotzendorf's eye kills me every time.
Happy 50th Birthday Indie! And kudos to all the staff and the TGW community for continuing to produce an amazing show!
Happy Birthday Indy!! Keep on producing informative content and helping educate people about this incredibly important part of history that has sadly been slowly disappearing from public perception (at least here in Canada)
Italian incompetence well explained!
Happy Birthday Indie!
"A major boost for morale instead turned into a major debacle." That should be the slogan of the Italian Army during both World Wars
Peter Gray 😂😂😂😂
That birthday bit at the end really puts things into perspective. It's unbelievable how much the world has changed in such a ridiculously short period of time.
wow Indy is 50. Had no idea. Figured he was in his late 30's. Handsome young man.
Happy Birthday Indy!
As a sidenote I want to add that the show is still the best thing I've watched on the internet!
Props to the entire team
Conrad killed me 😂😂😂😂
Happy birthday 🎂 Indy great work.
This is one of the best episodes. So interesting. Happy birthday Mr neidell! :)
Happy belated birthday! Lol
It really is sobering when you phrase it like that. Like just 2 of you is the breadth of time that to many feels ancient yet it is so far from such a reality
What a fascinating story. It's incredible how many times failures in high command led to failures on the field in this war.
Happy Birthday, Indy. Thanks for a great series.
Haven't watched you in a long time. Feels nice to be back! Happy to see that you finally decided to get a map that shows the front lines (0:29).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY INDY !!!!!! You guys keep up the great work!
Happy birthday to Indy! Looking forward to another year of the best historical channel on RUclips!
Happy birthday Indy!!!!!!!
I really like the "new" maps with the small map for the overview. Your maps are getting better and better!
+phillip boyman thanks, took us a while but we're also happy with them
Happy Birthday Indy ! Thanks for the hard work to you and the whole team !
I saw comments saying Happy Birthday for fifty years. I thought it was a joke! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, INDY! This really is one of the best series out here on RUclips.

My son was born today on the same day as Indy.. must be a blessing
Awesome video. Also,I really would like to know the backstory about the picture you guys posted on Twitter for Indy's 50th birthday. I really want to hear about Indy's 80's band.
+steelhammer103 Indy did play and is still playing in a variety of bands
Oh that's cool, I never knew that about him
The entire Italian front this week was better than any soap opera out there.
Happy Birthday! My father actually turned 50 today as well. Quite the coincidence!
History is, and continues to be, so short. Happy Birthday Indy!!
happy bday indie!! you also happen to be exactly a week and a day younger than my "baby sister", so i will share the same wisdom i did with her: at 50, you are now an antique. get the most out of it you can, because the next stop is "relic", and you arrive quite rapidly.... 100 more, indie, each healthier and happier than the last
Cheers for your birthday, Indy! You look great for 50. Of course, 50 is the new 35.
Happy birthday Indy! keep rocking for the next 50 years.
Happy Birthday Indy! Keep up the EXCELLENT work! Appreciate you and the crew very much!
Happy birthday, Indy!
Happy Birthday Indy. Hope you have a great day. Keep up all the great work you and the rest of the crew of "The Great War" do. Keep it up guys.

Happy over the hill Indy! Thanks for all you do sir
Happy 50th birthday Indy 👍
Happy birthday, Indy..!
I wonder what happened to the Czech soldier who was wrongfully arrested.
Is nobody commenting on that brilliant Conrad von Hötzenglitter at the end? I really liked that touch.
Happy birthday Indy
Happy Birthday, Indy! Best wishes from Guadalajara, Mexico!
Happy Birthday Indy ! Thank you and all the guys of the channel for the great job you do!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Indy! May it be an most grand one!
Grattis på 50 årsdagen Indy!
I mean this is just incredible. The whole '100 years later thing' is a great idea and almost forces you to take it slowly and look at things in extreme detail.

Happy Birthday Indy !! Santé et prospérité !! Greetings from France !!
Hey, it's my birthday too, 28th September, one year older than you.
Who were some British national heroes in World War One?
Indiana Jones As far as airmen go, Albert Ball is among the greats.
Indiana Jones the Lord Flashheart
Everyone in Black adder 4
Kitchener is an icon from the war but I'm not sure he's considered a hero.
I guess T.E Lawrence became a national hero after the war.
Happy 50th birthday from Sweden Indy!! Great content, always something new to learn about ww1 👍 :-)
... Its treason, then.
Happy Birthday to you Indy.. keep this great show going!
Today is also my Grandfathers birthday.
Matthew Arenson No one cares..
Up yours Indy! Happy Birthday mate! And it's really true that 100 years doesn't take long to go by.
Lest we forget (to raise our glasses Friday haha)
Fun fact: 100 years later, this same week in september of 2017, a new battle (albeit a smaller one) started in Ramadi, irak, along the Euphrate river: so called "islamic state" terrorists launched an attack on the city held by regular irakian troops.
Did you mean Iraqi or Iranian? It is quite hard to tell what you mean.
I meant iraki, people from Irak. And I am sorry it's hard to tell what I mean but the context should help.

That was not a fun fact. Any fact involving DAESH is not fun.
That is a pretty interesting fact
Not fun fact*
Happy birthday, Indy! The show's awesome!
15 minutes in and already someone disliked the video, times have changed on this channel.
Cadorna was!
This is modern RUclips
Happy Birthday Indy! May the next fifty years be everything you wish it to be!
Happy Birthday, may you have many more!
Happy 50th Birthday Indy ... amazing coincidence this week indeed! :-)
Have a happy one Indy... I enjoy everything you guys do... Wonderful concept!
