Trolling the Fritzies by asking them what time it is :D

Poor devils , they had no clue what they were getting into.

Yes: it was a permanent escape from real life back home:- job wife kids mortgage and as long as you weren’t actually on the front line getting shot you could live in this fantasy world “Strange Meeting” by Susan Hill is the best novel on WW1 that I know of

At least they had a country to go back to WW3 they won’t, or a home, or a family or anything!

So much bad teeth!

This is a problem with many vets. After the war is done, they who were once essential and important find themselves in a situation where they are no longer needed. They are lost.

0:24 well , there is this corporal.....

We've never leaned.

To the staff officer with a watch: don't worry, man, it's just like Star Wars, there'll be a sequel 20 years later and it's gonna be worse than the original

Germany : has watches Britain : Another one for the empire

My feed jumps between chapters randomly. This is a mess. I love this era in history, but Jesus, some continuity would be appreciated.

The death knell crack in the foundations of Native Europeans

We fought the wrong enemy 😢

It is surreal the ending of the gunshots like nothing had happened

Is this real footage ?

Typical British Soldier attitude.. treating Prisoners of war with humanity and respect, despite them being the enemy. Proud I was British Army myself , 2000-2005.

Nice to see they treat each other as humans

sending all my love to you today, my darlings what you did for our country the UK 🇬🇧 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 thank you for everything👍👍👍

It never made sense to me that these two germanic countries fought each other. Imagine if they had allied together.

My great grandfathers brother served for one of the Scottish regiments. Not sure yet which one. They told me he was killed by mustard gas.. hope to find out more about him

Brothers killing brother for no fucking reason

i have one of those canvas gas mask shoulder bag things.. very good strong..

this is amazing but is it sort of staged for the camera? i thought i heard they would re- do things so they could be filmed? not being critical or anything i hope jus trying to work it out...

Bless them all

Many great people fell between 14 and 18 and between 39 and 45 and respect should always be given to all of our fallen soldiers. A person who was “out there” will not return as the person he “went out there” as. I read some in the comments who laugh - the worst war is the one against the dumbing down of people. Here in my homeland, in my fatherland, as an old soldier, I have to watch my homeland die. I have an indescribable hatred for our occupiers, the Americans, because we are still under American occupation, otherwise we would act completely differently. Our Brigadier General Gerd Schultze Rhonhof wrote the book "The War that Had Many Fathers". Everyone should read this.

Poor men on all sides. The big order, the ordinary men suffer….😢

There was no finer example of a gentleman than the German soldier. And I say that as a proud Anglo-Saxon who loves the English-speaking peoples more than any other. They had a sense of class, character, and decency in BOTH world wars that went unmatched. Some of European Christendom’s best stock were swept away in that war to make room for the same demographic that continues to stoke hatred and tension amongst the masses.

Brother wars must stop. Once again we've been put to warring with each other (Rus and Ukraine) by "external forces" outside of our own race, the white people.

Part 2: German soldiers thoughts on British soldiers “after I was captured, I saw this tommy on a stretcher. He looked no older than 18….a kid like me. I felt for him. So I helped carry his stretcher. He was a nice boy…..but for some reason he stole my watch. “

Damn seeing the human under the uniform is heartbreaking

when you think about it, all these men bore huge emotional and physical scars (those who made it to the end) all of them had seen their friends die. How do you celebrate? nobody came out unscathed.

...and the great guns went into hibernation for about 22 years

You can tell the germans had basically been starving for months in this footage, super gaunt and bony faces

In the words of my grandfather who fought from '15 throughout; "I don't give a fig for France or Europe Germans can have it. But we're here now, and can't let them shove us about" he was RFA. Lost finger, part of an ear, the concussion of a shell hitting nearby (which killed 4 of his mates in one go) blew his eye out of its socket (still attached). After the war he worked at the local gas works and had to fib a bit to get in. "Don't mention the war"..not fawlty towers but what they had to endure in the first show. Signs in shop windows 'servicemen need not apply'. Still he smoked like a chimney, drank like a sailor and lived to a ripe old age, seeing me grow a bit before he went and even taught me a bit about gardening which he loved. "Sweet memories of you I'll always keep, God saw you were tired and sent you to sleep". Harold 'Harry' Morgan, an absolute madlad and a best friend to all.

1914 the year Europe committed suicide

A man saved me once. So anyway I took his pocket watch.

I was about 15 years of age, and I was talking to my grandfather about ww1. I said, " I wish I had been there with them boys". He said, " no you don't". And we didn't say anything else.

The idea we live in a world so transformed by something happened a hundred years ago but it feels like less than half of that long ago.

My Thomas OC’s, Dylan & Dexter, Claude, and Axel, felt the same too when the war ended. The only thing my OC’s ask themselves now is: “Was it all worth it? Millions died, and it ends so quietly.”

This is proof that the idea that Germans are "evil" was just pushed after ww2. The real evil was the Soviets. The innocent German peope deserve reperations from Russia and there needs to be trials like Nuremberg over Germans being held in gulags until 1956. If you actually look into it the Russians Committed every crime that the Nazis did and more. They have never paid for their mass rape and destruction of Eastern europe and for their enforced communism.

Waw increible😮

some how, in 2:29 his smile give a feeling of heartwarming

This hits harder after watching the recent all quiet on the western front

0:35 look at the soldiers teeth...

I cannot imagine the feeling when they came home and NO ONE cared or wanted to hear what they’d been doing all those years. No gratitude no recognition. Just disinterest and even contempt for the mutilated ones. And Germans, who lost, had it even much much worse, to see their country in disarray. 10 years of suffering, then Wall street crisis and then the corporal with moustache….

Even enemies back ten were closer together than nowadays’ friends on social network world

Hej min vän,,, super cool pfp <3

I read an article on J. B. Priestley about how he would attend an annual regimental reunion. One year, in The 1930's, fewer attended and he was asking, " Where's so-and-so and so-and-so?" Only to be told they didn't have a decent suit to attend in so wouldn't come. I also downloaded my wife's granddad's army record as he had served and was surprised to find photocopies of letters from him to his old regiment from 1922 saying he didn't want to be a nuisance but when could he expect his service medals? He, like millions of others, had more than earned them. Robin Witting England

Diffrent to my great granfathers experice . They took no prisoners nor did the other side ( stopped after they foud their pals mutilated and no rats or dogs did not do it far too clean and surgical for it to be them ) and one of them nearly ended their own lives when their trench was overun ) No freindly interactions between them apart from a tense meeting with a unit from Bavaria to exchange a few food stuffs . I suppose it depended on where you fought , when you fought and who you thought I guess .
