To me as an Aussie, Gallipoli means maturity of Australia. Gallipoli gives us pride and sorrow, a lasting resentment to Britain (not the British) and a respect of the Turks. We realised we were no longer a colony but a nation, the Crown would throw us to the wolves if we let them. I think it shows a lot about how we feel about NZ, brothers raised together.
much love from turkey bro. unfortunately the british crown has a habit of making its subjects fight for them on faraway lands. i have lost family members in that war too (the ones obviously i've never seen in my life) we know how it's important to you and new zealanders so you proved you were nations of your own. tbh it would be an easier defence on our side if they didn't sent you guys, you fought like demons lol. still, you were brave and proud, there is an old turkish saying that goes like "better to have honest and valiant enemies than treacherous friends." anyways, you are friends to most of us now. cheers.
I always tear up a little when I hear Atatürk's words.
Lest We Forget
I have fond memories of sitting in front of the fire while my great grandfather talked about his time in Belgium, France and of course Gallipoli. He was a brilliant storyteller, able to convey himself in such a way that by the end of his tales I'd usually blink and look around confused at the fact that I was in a cosy living room as opposed to holding a trench line under artillery fire or caught up in the middle of a bayonet charge as the vivid world he crafted slowly melted away and reality asserted himself once more
I wish I could hear them again
There is a video called "Three Great British Wartime Deceptions" by Lindybeige that goes into a little more detail on the Gallipolli evacuation for those who are curious.
So happy I found Sabaton all those years ago when I heard Primo Victoria and Wolfpack.
Hey on the part one reaction I linked 3 long videos from a channel called Kraut on Turkish history but accidentally said Eastory because I was tired. I changed it to kraut but late so I hope you understood that I meant kraut from the start on those 3 video re commendations.
If you’re confused you can just go back and read my comments from part 1.
You really gotta hand it to the innovations of the Anzacs, especially during the evacuation.
As the last people were evacuating, they had set up a way for them to keep firing the guns without anyone there. They filled ammo cans with water with a drip hole. The water would then fill a small vessel tied to the trigger of a gun, and when it reaches certain weight, it would pull the trigger, giving the impression that the defences were still manned.
As an Aussie 🇦🇺 myself, desperation breeds innovation, especially in wartime.
Although having a plane crash in your backyard during the evacuation, doesn’t help matters much.
An observation aircraft was critically damaged and put down right in the middle of their evacuation efforts, this compound of the problem. Now they had to figure out how to destroy the aircraft and get the pilot out at the same time they were evacuating without the Turks finding out. They succeeded, surprisingly enough, and the Turks did not know that the Anzacs were evacuating till after they were gone.
Greetings from Turkey.
The commander Mustafa Kemal who said that quote “Mothers wipe your tears…” became founder of the Turkish Republic after WW1. That wasnt said during the documentary.
And happy ANZAC Day to our Australian and New Zealender friends there.
The song " And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda" by Eric Bogle is about a soldier landing at Suvla.
A very descriptive story. Worth a listen to by the original artist.
I highly recommend watching TimeGhost History's The Cuban Missile Crisis series, which is also hosted by Indy Neidell.
Sorry for being that guy but don’t forget the Ottoman Empire is the reason the word genocide was created
Well the term was coined in 1944, sure there were genocide before, but they didn't create the word.
isnt that country germany
I had hopes for America learns but sabaton has no idea and neither do you. So no longer following you.
