WE CAMPING ON THE BARN WITH THIS ONE 🔥 🔥 🔥 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️

so interesting GNB

a silly question, why didnt napoleon ordered the cannons to smash the walls and the major buildings of the village before the assault? its like modern artillery tactic against a well fortified defense position. and back then, they already have mortars, not sure whether they bought any to waterloo, but these thing i understand had pretty close range but i think they could still bring it to the front as they attack the village and rain down bombs from the sky that will do a lot of damage to the defenders. and i guess this is the downside of having no armor, back in the middle age, heavy plate armor could defect arrows, maybe not super powerful crossbows but they will protect you. but then during waterloo, there is no armor for any infrantry and they get wipe out from musket fires from covered positions. of course, i can imagine that plate armor could probably do not very much against musket thats why they didnt have it.

My grandfather was in the RFA during the great war. Don't know much about his service besides general recorded info he didn't really talk about it besides some funny stories. Funny thing though, he was gassed (mild) during his work over there..he'd smoked like a chimney since 16 and after the war he worked at the local gas works here 😂survived to a grand old age of 104 and was sharp as a pin for his whole life. He left two things to me in his will when I was a child; a small lozenge tin of personal items from the war and (i quote) 'my wit & good luck.' Seems to have worked so far!! 🫡 love ya Harry Morgan.

And here is the story of a very famous 18 pdr that was used by the British during the 1916 Rising in Dublin and after the Irish War of Independence by the Irish in the Irish Civl War in 1922,. It was sold off by Dept of Defence in the 1950's and was found rotting outside a diner in the USA decades later, rescued and brought back to life by the Irish Army Ordnance Corps and is now on display in the Military Museum in the Curragh in Ireland. ua-cam.com/video/0mQ5oGqYHco/v-deo.html

Maori 1st

This is one of the very few video presentations (or any media including print) that goes into any great detail about how the Trench system became established. In most publications or documentaries they cover this important shift in how the war was waged in just a few generalised short sentences and usually culminating in the 1914 Christmas Day truce. I have always been keen to discover just what the practical situation was on the ground as both sides dug their trenches often just a few yards apart. Did they dig under cover of darkness? Were both sides attempting to dig while still shooting at each other or did some kind of strange truce operate while both sides dug deep into the Flanders and French landscape? Or was it a combination of all of the above. Thanks for this short but informative video.

👍

So no mention of the fact that Hougoumont was actually garrisoned by 1bn of the 2nd Nassau regiment and two companies from the 1st Hanoverian Brigade, instead its just talking about two guards companies who were also present? I'd understand if this was a documentary about the Guards regiments but it isn't. I really don't understand why documentaries are made which aren't accurate, the purpose of a documentary is to educate why waste money on it if its incorrect or missing major bits of information.

Interested in Coventry Ordinance Works, Has anyone got some history on this company?

I cannot find part 2, that domain is for sale the link says....

Trenches actually started new zealand

My right ear enjoyed this.

Apparently Hitler was part of the latter hours of the battle.

Is it possible thé rifle used by thé Boer Kommando was thé Gewehr G98 and Not the Karabiner K98?

Nothing to really be proud of but trench warfare as we think of it developed in the American Civil War in the 1860s. Photographs taken of the complex trenches with bunkers and retaining walls during the final days of the war of the siege of Atlanta look almost identical to those used in WW1.

So what happened to the sound????

The main presenter is so bored I expected him to fall asleep on the job!!

I went on a walking tour of the Waterloo field in August 2019, including Hougoumont. I saw that length of wall but did not examine it closely. I did not know about the loopholes.

Y

My dad was in the 4Th from it’s inception

The Boers weren't a problem for the British simply due to equipment...

Where is part 2 the 18 pounder???

The 13 Pounder & 18 Pounder guns were "modernised" in the 1930's with pneumatic tyred metal wheels so as to be towable by motor vehicles. Due to the lack of then new 25 Pounder field guns, both the 13 Pounder & 18 pounder were sent to France in 1939 to 1940 to comprise the bulk of the BEF's field guns. During the 1920's an APHE shell was developed and issued for the 13 Pounder & 18 Pounder field guns as these were the principle anti-tank defence weapon of choice. This was adequate to shoot at, hit and penetrate the slow & weakly armoured tanks of the interwar years. However the War Department knew that there would be a need for something better and started the 2 Pounder anti-tank gun development programme in 1934 with first adoption in 1937.

My grandfather was a gunner in the RHA in 1917 (and thankfully survived) Most of the 13 pounders used on ceremony today by the Kings Troop are from WW1. I often wonder if he had manned one of their guns.

The man who would have been my oldest uncle on my mothers side was wounded here while fighting with the 1st Dorset regiment . He was sent home to recover and then took part in the Normandy landings, he managed to survive D day but unfortunately was KIA four days later while fighting for the village of Tully sur seulles . RIP Pte George Edward Broom.

My uncle, a man I would never meet, was killed on Regalbuto Ridge serving with the Devonshire Regiment, during their night attack on the night of 30th/31st July '43. RIP Pte Kenley Owen Chapman. The Devons!!

Thank the prussian's.

1845 Ōhaeawai, the prototype of the ‘modern pa’, was a major advance in the Māori response to new weaponry. Firing and communication trenches gave the occupants maximum protection while allowing rapid movement within the pā. Anti-artillery bunkers (rua) had been dug into the ground and covered with logs, stones and matted flax. Each could house 15-20 warriors in relative safety. nzhistory.govt.nz/war/northern-war/ohaeawai

Where are the other episodes?

ur mom gay lol

Short range vs modern 105mm incorrect comparison. By design the 13pdr was a shortish range gun due to the direct fire strategy it was designed for. The single pole trail was allowed for the sake of lightness, even though it reduced inclination, due to the direct fire role of the gun not requiring high angles of attack.

Wrong hackle. It's supposed to bed solid red

En la Iglesia de Santo Domingo en Buenos Aires hay banderas y objetos de la derrota de este regimiento en las invasiones de 1806 y 1807

Am pretty certain the 13Pdr was on display at The Centenary of the Somme remembrance day on 1st July at Thiepval. Was interesting to see in the 'flesh'. I want t see a six in Howitzer which my g/uncle worked with in WW1.

I only found out about this the other day, my dad told me about it, turns out Joe is one of my relatives haha!

Arguably it was native Maori of New Zealand who introduced the PRACTICAL APPLICATION of trench warfare to the British during colonization around early 1800s and extensively throughout the New Zealand land wars.

in facct the truth is: the tiger tanks that day kicked british's azz. then they called air support. atleast 2 tigers ass knocked out by air by air bomb. wittmann's tiger was killed by air bomb 100000%. stop lying and admit the fact that says: germans tanks wass the best and the crwe was the best.

Always found Wittman and his Tiger tank to be a fascinating story.

no disrespect to Mr. Ekins (god rest his soul) but it turns out he wasn't the ace killer that this docu purports. new info out there on this...

take a sherman 75mm it does not hurt tiger how ever 76 mm up gun will at range must be right on q i wonder if battle feild 360 would to a doc on witmans last stand or better yet 20th centry i like how the did stallingrad

No second part :/

Ekin's could not hit Wittmann's Tiger I from their position, without the shell going thought the turret and hitting the deck of the Tiger I to the left of center right behind the turret. That hit was the only damage to the hull of Wittmann's Tiger. There is some doubt to Ekin's tank even seeing Wittmann's Tiger from his position, as Michael is at a lower level than the 3 leading Tigers.

Many seem to forget the stukas divebombing French civilians n 1940 in the invasion of france. Many also forget Germany AND Russia invaded Poland in 1939.

Nice propaganda movie.

I was at the site where Wittmanns tank was hit and couldn't even see where the site of the British tanks were. In fact a friend of mine went to the British site, and like I said, it was in a shallow piece of ground. Even if the British had seen Wittmans tank, they were out of range to penetrate the armour from the front. Wittmanns tank was hit in the back left corner, fuel leaked out, the tank caught fire quickly and exploded, blowing the turret off the chassis of the tank.
