- What an incredible sight in the 21st Century
To commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the the end of the First World War and to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Great Dorset Steam Fair. A special WW1 Convoy was organised to run from the Tank museum at Bovington to Tarrant Hinton at the Show Ground. This film covers the the convoys journey from Bovington to Blandford Forum.
Added Note for viewer's in the USA. The date is in the UK/ Rest of the World format, with Day/Month/Year.
During the war in the former Yugoslavia I spent a lot of time around the British Army. Once in the kitchen I asked the chief what was the oldest piece of equipment he had. He led me over to a stove that was roaring away. "This stove was issued to us when we left for the Boer War," he said. "Not one like it, this very stove." That meant it had served not only in Boer War, but in WW1, WW2, Korea, and every where else the unit had gone. And there it was, still at 100%, still working away.
Greetings with love from the rainy city of Addis Ababa in Ethiopia 🇪🇹. Looking the smile and loughter, one can imagin how proud those guys could be to wear uniforms from the older time and parade along side the steam monsters. Such shows inspire youngsters and bring back memories for old. Thank you for preserving this pice if history and show it for the world. Good job boys!
Nicely said mate. Greetings from Australia 😃

That trio of road locomotives is incredible - keeping those three in sync enough to pull a load is a testament to the skill it takes to operate those things. As others have written, what a very well done video this is.
SO PRO
They don't have to be in sync to manage their load. It's like a 10 year old and a 20 year old pushing a car. Each does what he can, the net result is forward motion. That's not to say that skill is not involved, it most surely is.
"My General, the enemy has just destroyed our railway with artillery and cannot perform supply runs with the train."
"Take out the ROAD train."
so everything with a boiler and a smoke box is a train to people?
Looks pretty trainy to me.
@@themechbuilder6171 I thought a train applied to any things in a line probably originally from a number of horses or oxen trained to pull a plough. Will Google it and see
This is something we dont see everyday. This is like timetravel. Love it
Yep sad all that died for this technology I like old tractors too

Steam punk fans must be overjoyed of such an invention.
@@orlock20 Not just steampunk fans. Just about anyone with an interest in historical vehicles.
- What's that noise, are there jet fighters around?
- Nah, that's our steam military vehicle convoy.
Absolutely marvelous. Thanks to the restoration people, organisers and cameraman for making this possible.
Did u realize the traction engines look like trevor from thomas
the fact this stuff survived WWII era, korea, vietnam and were never scrapped for their steel is amazing
They had to be hidden away! Somebody saw the future significance of these historic vehicles
Cody Shell they were probably still in use during ww2
This is less than 1% of the whole WW1 fleet of armored war machines. Where do you think the other 99% went?
Answer: scrapped
Steven SteveO
Or reused for civilian purposes. The brits likely never retired them especially considering the lack of servicable vehicles during BOB. After the war half of them probably got scrapped but besides the point you never know when you need reserves.
This is UK .
I'm from Allentown PA, USA... during WW1 our town built and sent over heavy trucks from the Mack Truck factory the war is also where Mack gained the bulldog nickname and mascot, and we also had an ambulance training camp at the local fair grounds. Camp Crane, Crews would train, build an ambulance from ford parts in crates and sometimes be shipped out with the finished truck.
WW2 - " We shall fight them on the beaches..."
WW1 - " We shall fight them where there's no slight hills...."
IIRC steam powered vehicles, especially steam powered trucks, had incredible torque even in todays standards.
@@matthewpiper4328 They'll get up there no question, but at what speed?
22:00 looks like they have plenty of torque but rpm problems even on flat surface (or didn't want to go faster)
*"Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world."*

Hey good comment man, looks like there’re on there way to search the lost city of Atlantis.
Absolute magical. I felt very emotional watching this I'm 82 and my father worked for Grundy at Kettering . Used to form and dredge lakes like the one at Blatherwyke. He also took the steam engines over to Irreland for work near the muntains of morn. He told me whow in the middle of the night Irish men used to come ans steal coal and he and his crew stayed in their van for fear of being attacked. I have watched this before and it will get another view before to long.
ah memories. and mostly good 'uns
Just imagining what these vehicles must've looked like to people at the time, their world must've been just as if not more exciting than ours. This was all so new.
Think about how slow they would’ve been on the muddy battlefields of France 😂
a lot of soldiers still marched to get somewhere and the most common way to transport a lot of people and heavy things was the train
I bet these vehicles were rarely used
Well, imagine the reaction of the older generation back then who grew up in a world with no cars, no planes, no radio, no films, no electricity, no telephones, no tractors, no electric machines and no industrialism (before the invention of the electric machine, electricity and cheap steel, the few industries were almost predominantly textiles made from cotton and crude spinning machines powered by waterwheels and most people still worked in manual agriculture on farms). All this was all-new and beyond the imagination of the world they grew up in.
To them the world had changed fundamentally.
What we're seeing today is just refinement and an evolution of that technology. Computers and the internet is just the latest development of rapid information which began with the telegraph and telephone. Prior to this invention the only way to send any kind of information was by errand - a runner or a horse rider riding long distances to send messages. It was manual labor by a human not a sent and received message by a method which never existed in any similar form prior to this point.
Cars today are just a refinement of the original invention. Cars today have the same role as they did in the past in that they provide mobility for regular people to transport themselves long distances - something which people before cars never did (regular people rarely left their own towns). Planes today carry 400 people over a long distance and faster but nobody had a controllable flying machine prior to the Wright brother's invention in 1903.
Likewise the manufacturing industry is way more refined today than it was 100-150 years ago but it serves the same purpose in that you can mass produce products cheap using machines and people operating those machines. Prior to this people produced products manually and most of what they used was both made by themselves and used by themselves in farms and town houses.
For somebody born in 1850 the world of 1914 must have looked like a dream and pure magic.
It must be said that there was a huge level of technological optimism in the 1890's and all the way to WWI. All the new inventions made people believe things would only get better and better...
This is exactly why WWI was such a nasty surprise. It was believed that all the new machines and inventions would make people so content that wars would be impossible. With the advent of industrialism there was however also the advent of industrial warfare... and industrial slaughter. Perhaps most telling is that the military believed that all the new technology would also make wars much faster too and they'd be decided within weeks. Everything else moved much faster now, why wouldn't wars?...
@Ratso Fatso So is misguided nostalgia
@@paulallen8109 The introduction of the internet was the biggest change you can think of, obviously along with motorized vehicles & early wired phones. Having access to every piece of information you can think of, and the ability to connect to people from other countries on a daily basis unlike beforehand, has changed everything. The chances for major wars are lower than ever, people from these countries are so close to each other thanks to the power of internet, that soldiers can and will simply refuse to serve for their country if their government declare war against the wrong country. You could not force German troops to fight against the Americans if you tried, not even heavy penalties would work if the entire army refuses to fight. Times have completely changed, we have it easy.
Fantastic! Brings back so many memories. I grew up going to dozens of steam rallies. My stepdad restored and drove a traction engine and my dad restored vintage tractors and barn engines. As teenagers working on farms during WW2 they used equipment like this daily as well as horses. With lots of TLC these old engines - many made before 1900 - will be going strong for another 100 years. I live in the USA now, where vintage machinery is rarely seen. Hats off to my fellow Brits for preserving and cherishing our heritage and history.
I expect you know, that there are many Steam Shows all over Britain .each year..
really fantastic to see all those beautiful vintage military vehicles and traction engines.. thank you for sharing my friend
And Hats off to the folks that maintain and run beautiful vintage equipment
Most of them are steam powered ._.
@Andy Proper not in Britain it aint
Hlo friend how are you ❤
I am from 🇮🇳India
when you are 100 years late for the war, because of the traffic
Lol
Damn m25!!!
and, they never aged.
😂😂😂😂😂
yeh like better late than never ....lol
This was an absolute joy to watch. It's remarkable that enough hundred year old, operating equipment was put together to make the trip and everyone in appropriate uniforms as well. Well done!
Those are some incredible machines. Thanks to all of the folks who preserve and keep these treasures in working order.
I hadn't really considered "100 year old equipment" and really had a moment,thanks! Until like,2005 a 100 year old sword was pretty unremarkable. War is bad,but this historical stuff is neat.
Beautifully restored and maintained machines.
I can just imagine them struggling to advance towards the front lines through the cratered landscape of Belgium. (My grandfather was a veteran of WW1. He was the victim of a gas attack in northeastern France, but he survived the war.)
Thank you for recording these scenes for those of us who couldn't attend.
My grandfather was an ambulance man in WW1. He never spoke of the war to me as a kid but taught me a great deal of first aid. He and grandma were superintendents in the South Yorkshire St. John's Ambulance Brigade. When I sat the Silver award first aid test for DOE awards in "Junior Leaders" I was passed by the Civilian Doctor for my Gold award at the same time, with the dates changed slightly. He asked me who had taught me first aid and I explained about my grandparents. God Bless them both.
Kevin, these machines hauled huge amounts of military equippment and food etc, from the French Ports to, as close as possible to the storage areas. behind the lines. Then, because of the terrible mud, Miniature lightweight Trains on narrow gauge track, took the goods to the front lines.
I had no idea there was so much preserved and heavy WW1 equipment. This is a video to keep and my massive thanks to everyone who preserves these items and associated items including guns and uniforms for us to marvel at. We today have never had it so good.
Great video, thanks.
Barry.Devon
Neither me, but i thing everything shoul be preserved, in a conserative philosofy.
wow, looked like we were 100 years ago. Houses, trucks, tanks, cars, militars, biciclet, Amazing
There's also a handful of naval ships from ww1 that are still with us HMS Caroline is a cruiser in Belfast and USS Texas which is a batlleship in the USA
@@wetlettuce4768 there is also a japanse ship of the Formidable class battleship that is in Yokosuka japan it is not floating
@@jeroenschmidt6685 Yes I've seen pictures of that one, done a good job planting it in cement means they don't have all the issues the USS Texas is going through right now.
One thing i really like about Britain is big effort to preserve these amazing old machines
Well done guys
we are sentimental as a nation, with our great history.
the streets used by the convoy doubtless over a century ago saw these vehicles, uniforms, the young men, just as i'm seeing on a video. my great uncle was a machine gunner in the BEF and then transferred to the CEF. he talked to me in the very late 70s about the war - the trenches, the fighting, the comrades, food, clothing, the writing home and receiving letters, parcels from Canada. Foiund out years after he passed away i was the only one he ever spoke to about his experiences as a soldier.
seeing the soldiers marching in formation made me very emotional. thank you everyone who made this convoy possible. best wishes from Canada.
God bless the Brits for preserving and restoring their old technology, including rescuing some old rusted steam locomotives from the junk yard...
the old timers still have the spirit, this army primarily consisted of 40-60 year old privates.. heh
@@maaz322 Oh, i thought it was the modern british army. So this vehicles are not in regular use? ;)
@@vonrosphe3098 well of course they are, they are just decoys, to fool our enemies.

How lucky we are to have such dedicated people to love and care for these powerful giants, the spectacle of the amazing ability of these old ladies is awe inspiring, wish I'd been there and thank you to the photographers for the chance to enjoy this special occasion.
Magnificent! Deep respect and appreciation to the many people whose work and effort contributed to preserving and displaying this awe inspiring tribute to the people and events represented by these machines costumes and motorized columns, Thank you all!
Found this by accident, what a superb piece of film, brilliant job by all concerned, just driving those steamers through a town was a work of art all on it's own.
What an amazing sight! A fitting tribute to all those brave souls who marched away , many never to return. Thanks for posting.
My Grandpa would have flipped out seeing this. He loved the old machines. I sure miss him.
I like it too and iam not too old. iMAGINE WORKING IN A FARM, WITH A TRUCK LIKE THIS. NO NEED TO PAY TAXES, CAR MECHANICS, DIESEL fuel, ETC..
And shurely will never be stucked anywere.
I miss my grapa too.
I always keep and conserve old machines, if they do the job well done, why change for problems, not very smart mm?
I never met any of my grandparents.
Send him the video
@Warrior wtf
@Warrior your not wrong ._.
i had no idea that there are so many so old machines, working, with tanks and gun bikes. truly a very nice surprise!
Gdzie to jest?
@@43romantyk Tak to juz jest.
Sat watching this with my dad who’s 90 and has dementia ..he’s loved every minute of it ..many happy memories of visiting Bovington and all round Dorset ...Thank you for a great video
I'm 80 and so thankful for my clear mind. Hug your Dad often. Tell him you love him. You can never know how much he can understand.
all vehicles truly stunning.. congrats to camera operator, got shots which show them at their best
Thanks for posting this, exceptional camera work and also very poignant as we come to a century since the end of WW 1. We must never forget those who fought in this war.
@ 6:38 you can see a Holt 75 Caterpillar Tractor, built in my hometown of Stockton, California over one hundred years ago. Glad to see a bit of my hometown tech still running a hundred years young
Did your granparents fit gopros on them?
Geeze had to push the wheel to make it turn,,,
perhaps it is still on it's way to the front ?
And UK's inspiration for tanks. To disguise what they were building from spies they were supposedly water tanks and the name tanks stuck.
Absolutely Fabulous! I have never seen any of these vehicles, in working order, except in old film footage. What a treat! Thank you, so much, for sharing this with all of us!!! =)
It is truly impressive to see that these Vehicles still run after 101 - 105 Years, not to mention the uniforms of the WWI Soldiers so well preserved. feels like a Mix between 2 Eras
I am fairly certain those uniforms aren't genuine WWI era uniforms but rather modern day reproductions.
@@paulallen8109 maybe, but ,the men are actually, 120.
I am a US army veteran, so first I want to say let's never forget those who sacrificed in this war. I had a great uncle who was there and fortunately came back. I have the picture postcards he sent my grandmother from France. As a video, this is fantastic! I loved it. Just machines, people, narrow streets, old buildings and noise. No music, no voice over.
A rare experience all round eh? Thanks for all the sacrifices our brave American Friends made, in two world wars.
I'd like to see German, French and Russian versions of this.
@@ryanahearne3080 No need to be that rude mate.
I believe the nearest Russian version is the Tank Biathlon and bring out the T 34 to run it every year.
There's a similar event going on every year in Saumur in France. Unfortunately, it's not very famous and the 2 years consecutive cancellation due to Covid didn't help
While there is quite a bunch of civilian steam-based technology still around in Germany, you'd be hard pressed to find anything related to the military from that period - for a variety of reasons.
Firstly, private ownership of military vehicles/weapons is very strictly regulated almost to the point of impossiblity (the only exception being museums, and even those are heavily regulated on that - meaning static displays only).
Secondly, the stigma associated with both world wars and the effects on Germany have led to some sort of distancing from that period
Thirdly, with the restrictions put in place after WWI there really wasn't much in the way of military tech left in Germany, as most was taken away as "reparations". And whatever was left after that, probably was molten down over the course of WWII.
@@ranekeisenkralle8265 Ugh. Reality hits bitterly again.
Unfortunately here in Brazil we do not have all this history much less preserved thus in perfect operation. But I've followed the latest attempts to put a 1918 mechanical ladder to walk, today it is on display at the Rio de Janeiro State Military Fire Department Museum (CBMERJ museum).
GOOD---WELL IT'S A START
Gustavo--I just read that Brazil declared war on Germany, after the USA did, in 1917. But it was your Navy that got involved, no army troops to Europe, so---good for you. Brazil was the only South American Country, to support the allies.
@@MrDaiseymayhol up a min,1917? Like i don't think Brazil had any participation in WW1,but it had a litlle bit in WW2
12:20 love how those 3 steam traction engines talk to each other with the whistles and the other 2 respond back to the leading one
Yeah, steam trains and traction engines have their own whistle codes. Usually on rail, 2= forwards, 3= backwards and 1= stop. If I remember correctly, with traction engines it's slightly different
thank you Harry Jmcandrew and clanline35028 for this info. I didn’t know that. I thought they were just tooting at the onlookers, now i see why they do it makes perfect sense. Many Thanks😀👍
@@lisabelamarschild6995 no problem, they often toot to onlookers too, all part of the magic of steam :)
This convoy is so slow, it's still en-route from 1917.
They use the calendar, instead of a map. This is so cool to see, though. I also nominate for best photography and content. Great Job!!
A few years after this...outlaws using the byproduct of cooked fruits and vegetables started Nascar...😐
@johann rüstmann just wish MORE people would open their eyes and quit eating all the propaganda..
"The truth will set you free"
The facts often are too much for people to bare, especially in the US.
With no control and a government beyond regulation we are helpless and left to watch our own mindless morons continue to commit atrocities against humanity

I had been at the GDSF. That is something that is unique in the world. This can only be seen in the UK. I will never forget what I have seen at the GDSF. There are no words to describe what is happening there. If you are an oldtimer enthusiast - visit the GDSF. An absolutely must see event.
One of the best 1/2 hr. vids on UA-cam. Very exciting to watch......and hear!
Thank you for filming this so the rest of the world could see it. You did a great job.
This was a real "time machine" video that I appreciate so much. Love to see that old equipment working, really working. It does honor to those who served in that long ago war.
yup absolutly
Extraordinary and impressive. Fragments of a world that no longer exists. There has been a world in the past where ideals of freedom were above all.
What an utterly amazing event! Thank you for posting this video.
I love that distinctive smell of steam and oil you get from those old steam engines
yeah--i get wood.
Thank you very much for this wonderful video. I found it to be interesting and entertaining. Greetings from an old guy in the USA. I've been fortunate to have enjoyed your great country several times. I love it.

Never seen anything like this. They look like a cross between a tractor and locomotive! Coal powered trucks! Amazing!
There usually called steam tractors or land engines growing up in Pennsylvania I see them all the time
It's called a traction engine and was quite common for construction and military use a century ago
@@parkertaft4167 Then theres the more static, Fairground traction Engines, that produce electicity for lighting and the 'Rides'.

@@hamadilawson4396 AND WRONG
absolutely amazing. so glad to see these things preserved. I want to go to the UK just to attend this! far better than any burning man festival or renaissance faire
Every August, but check out the programme online
Thank you for this video! My dear father would have probably seen vehicles like these when he was posted in France in 1918. It is hard to imagine what he might have thought at the time, his letters home were very censored. Excellent work!!
@@syaondri I have a box of letters and notes from my father to home and vise versa. A lot of his letters have a stamp on the envelope "Censored" and the name and rank of the censor. Most of them are marked "OK" as he was very careful in what he wrote. There is one, however, where he wrote that he had been told that he could tell them where he was, and when he wrote his location, the censor had blacked it out! Evidently he had been told wrong, or someone had neglected to tell the censor!
@@syaondri I can't find it right now to verify, but it was either marked out with ink or perhaps cut out with scissors. They didn't have markers like we do now; all they had was inkpens and pencils. All the people in the armed forces knew, and were reminded every day, that revealing any information that could be of help to the enemy could have dire consequences. Even civilians were reminded frequently. Very different from the present.
Glad I could clear that up for you.
Very, very impressive -- both the event and the good video and audio capture. Thumbs up!
Nothing remotely close this could be assembled and then pulled off in the USA. Thank you for posting this. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
annual event in Dorset steam fair.
Oh my God!! This is amazing I have never seen so much live working machinery of this caliber, First World War Military Vehicle, I only saw some of these in old films here on UA-cam. But to see this in excellent filming this is a Five ***** incredible film, Thanks great job and most of all great vehicles.
THERE ARE 'STEAM FAIR'S'' HELD, ALL OVER BRITAIN EVERY YEAR, NOSTALGIA IS BIG HERE, ESPECILLY FOR ANYTHING STEAM DRIVEN. FROM TINY MACHINES, TO MONSTER'S.
That one guy pushing the wheel to do the turn even tighter made me laugh 6:20
There is no engine, it’s just his firm hand doing the job.
That was a grand sight. I go to a local Threshing Bee once a year. Never have I seen quite as many pieces in such fine shape. So glad I was able to 'stumble' on this great view.
share it some more ---well over 2million views---for Traction Engines , incredible. I think we all long to go back in time.
This is perfect so old machinery that performs in real conditions with real heavy and people! This is just great! Thank you very much...
Jolly good show :) ! Specially loved those railless trains, but also that EVERYBODY was in contemporary Uniform. Excellent !
Road engines.
Really good to see these wonderful machines being looked after and put on public display, keep up the good work guys
82 years old..What a fantastic display of vehicles. So very well presented. At times I felt quite emotional. thank you
Wow that was a real treat watching this thank you for posting
Love the name
Brilliant! What a cracking spectacle. Love the "clutch control" on the last traction engine through Blandford Forum; that takes some skill. Well done on the video production, too.
What a STELLAR video of lovingly restored antiques! Thank you!
The tractors are like me, old but keeps chugging along. , fun vid, a lot of organizing goes into this
What a show of great steam-powered machines, great noises.
They're alive.
Thanks to all who receive them! Great job!! Thanks for uploading and showing.
I have also read the critical comments here and would like to commemorate the soldiers of all countries who have fallen in many senseless wars, the civilian victims who were carelessly accepted and would like to express that we humans finally learn from our mistakes.
Never again to fight a war, only verbal arguments bring us forward and mothers do not cry.
Sorry for my English, it's not my mother tongue.
WELL SAID
Never apologize for your English. You have conveyed your thoughts and sentiments perfectly. English is a very difficult language to master. Many native speakers in the US and UK can't seem to get the hang of it.
Wonderful machines, it is hard to believe it has been only 100 years since we went to war, using steam power. Thank you for sharing this amazing day.
I don't understand why 1.5k would dislike this video.
This video is amazing.

NOT JUST ME THEN ? I'LL GET A MESSENGER ROUND THERE FIRST THING ER NEXT WEDNESDAY
Godspeed, my dear fellow!
Lol. This is Britain already preparing for a post oil era..
Now THAT was a quick trip! Pre-oil - fuel tax - bus lane on M4 - post-oil.
Love it. Superb machines. I bet the convoy caused havoc on the roads. Good!
Amazing. Thank you every one who has created this video. Hats off to all those genius who has restored all these vehicles.
Saw a Holt 75 artillery tractor on one of the wagons. It is truly wonderful to see all these beautiful specimens of 100+ year old machinery on convoy parade....the motorcycles, cars/trucks, armored cars, steam tractors and tanks! Salute!
Wow, just AWESOME! Thanks so much for recording, uploading and sharing this. What a great video.
I would love to go and see this in person! I love that they preserved these equipment. Thanks for sharing!
''The Great Dorset Steam Fair'' is an annual event, but this large military turnout, and Parade, was a special one, to celibrate the WW1 centenary ,for 1918 war ending. Contact them online, to enquire of the details for next August.
This is, without a doubt, the coolest thing I have ever seen!
great stuff eh?
9:04 i loved this scene... Its like the old one waving goodbye to the new one before leaving
I don't know if you are reading any comments, seeing as you posted this in August of 2018, but this was really neat. I didn't even know these vehicles existed, and now to se them operate fascinates me. I love the teamwork shown on the 3 engine crew, using the whistles to for instructions, like on the railroads. Thank you for putting this on UA-cam and sharing it with us. This is something unique, and glad to have seen it.,
Lovely video brilliant footage of everything ☺
It is a perfect show of history, this town went back in time 100 years this day. Such a shame I didn't get to see it for myself.
We love this. You guys are great. Thank you from California.
That was such a fantastic video. As Andy pointed out. No dumb ar!e music, just natural, got the ambiance. So refreshing! Well done.
This was such a joy to watch, very well done footage. These old machines are incredible and the time went into restoring just one of them must be almost endless, and they just keep comming. Love the uphill parts when they go "full power" - Thank you so much for uploading :o)
Well done ! I enjoyed the video and experience !
Greetings from the USA. It is great to see that history is being preserved. Well done. If this is not an annual event, then it should be. Wouldn't that be grand?
The Dorset Steam show is, but this was the special centenary year, of WW1 ending. So, maybe not a usual sight to see.
@@MrDaiseymay how sad.
Those steam engines are in amazing condition they are a pretty sight. I’m from Minnesota the home of the largest antique tractor show in the United States and even here it’s hard to find maybe three well restored engine like these. If you live in the northern Minnesota area check out the WMSTR in Roland it’s an amazing place
These machines were built and then restored by very talented men.
There may have been some beer involved as well.
Possibly Cider as well as ale....
Glenn Howden possibly many cups of Tea.
@@jamesellis5445 yeah and it was sharpened with rum
No absinthe :o
Well, actually-( and keep this quiet) the steam is created out of the best scrumpy, and not water.--OK ?
i really enjoyed watching that,what a well shot film ,do more,many thanks.
an older friend of my dad was with the Americans in ww1, he was a corporal-engineer. The tanks had to be scary when they were first seen. Amazing pieces of kit.
Scary for the crews if not anyone else.
@@taekatanahu635 More so for the men in the trenches who at the time had to remain in the trench and fire back using only their bolt-action rifles. Effective portable anti-tank weapons didn't arrive until the second half of WWII and even so they worked best in urban warfare where you could get close to the tank without being spotted. You could also flank it. This obviously wasn't an option for your regular infantryman in WWI.
At any rate, inside a tank as horrible as it was, you still were protected from bullets and shrapnel from field artillery. For the advancing infantryman there was *zero* protection in no-man's-land.
It’s very useful to know the story, and it’s even more beautiful to touch this story with your own hands! With love from Russia
Is there any kind of preservation scene, in Russia? for old trucks or machines like this ?
@@MrDaiseymay Yes, in rural Russia the "preservation" scene is very real for they still use old military trucks and such. They're incredibly rugged and robust and anybody with a simple spanner and hammer can fix them. It's a living preservation scene. Ok, fair enough I know what you mean - if you mean WWI and WWII era machines and trucks I'd say most of it is in museums or used as "mechanical monuments" around the country.
@Pferd Schild why NOT ?
@@paulallen8109 Good to know , thanks.
All held together by thousands of rivets, before welding became the preferred way of joining metal!
Very impressive footage, I really enjoyed, thanks
This is a phenomenal video! Thanks!
There is power in those old steam tractors. Such a lovely sound they make when pulling a heavy load. Glad to see they are still around.
This video was an absolute pleasure to view! A real first class job on the video and the subject matter. NO idiot off-subject music or other strange distractions, and your sense of composition and steadiness was excellent to pull in all of the many details shown. My complements and a friendly "Howdy" from the Dallas, Texas area. Thank you.
Thank you so much Scott, it was a pleasure to film and edit.
And in Colorado
must appreciate the efforts spent to preserve those awesome machines! absolutely great video!
Amazing! Very nice video, enjoyed watching the well maintained vintage army vehicles.
I've seen this a couple times before, but when it comes up again, I just have to watch it again! Amazing! Well done everyone!
Me too, it's hypnotising
