Ottoman Uniforms of World War 1 I THE GREAT WAR Special

- Опубліковано 1 січ 2017
- The Ottoman Army underwent considerable reforms after the losses on the Balkans. And under German influence, the military tried to bring the whole army up to the standards of modern war. In a lot of way, the results were decent or even good but supply problems led to a great variety in uniform quality across the 400 year old Empire.

The more you realize how under equipped and unmodern the Ottoman armies were, the more you appreciate and realize their soldiers bravery and courage to fight.
Phi6er not if its for your country
Phi6er I am simply saying that the Ottoman troops were very brave, however their government and some of their commanders were not so capable.
Phi6er Look I understand that from what you are saying, you clearly don't have a family history of military service to a country. And that's fine, many people don't. However I come from a family that has served and commanded militaries scents the Medieval ages. So are views may differ, however I would never call a man or women, willing to fight and die for their cause or beliefs an 'idiot'. I believe that is one of the highest honors one can receive, is to have sacrificed much for their beliefs whether or not I agree with them I highly respect anyone who is willing to die for their beliefs. Sometimes fighting for your country is the same as fighting for your beliefs, or even your rights as a human. While sure to some jumping of a cliff or running at machine guns without a weapon may seem dumb to some rather then bravery, what makes them brave is not what they did, but what they hoped to achieve by sacrificing so much. Every soldier can fight, many can fight well, but those who fight with bravery, shall be the true victors. For their cause doesn't die so easily, for their efforts ether succeed or succeed, for if they fail to achieve their goals then, others will see their sacrifice and strive to do the same.
***** they faught in hopes to get back the lands they have lost in the years earlier
+Phi6er I agree with your points. Throughout the history, many people who thought they were fighting for their "nation" were actually figting for "deranged old men." I personally don't even like the concept of "nation", it is like a huge make-believe game to me. However, in that particular case turkoman mentioned, the independency of their country was at stake. If they didn't fight they would've become an indirect colony sort of thing, which for obvious reasons isn't a pleasant thing for the people living in it. So I'd say what they did in the battle of gallipoli was a reasonable thing to do.
Relying on tourist guides for land navigation... Well at least the leaders can always find the best hotels and eateries in a region.
trivago
when you mention the quality of their uniform being poor, what is the difference between poor quality uniform and a high quality uniform. much respect for our Ottoman brothers from Australia
I guess poor quality is uncomfortable, itchy, rips easily, etc
One of the main factors is the fit of course. People have a lot of different sizes which makes it more expensive to produce them in a really good fit.
Besides the suitability was a important deficiency, they also had no choice to wear uniforms in good condition but wretched ones. Especially, if you consider that The Ottoman Empire was in an economic bottleneck at the time and heavy defeats in wars one after another. I even read that the local people of the regions were patching dead soldiers' uniforms to make them suitable for imminent, new fighters. I suggest you to read ''Resurrection - Canakkale 1915'' and ''Those Crazy Turks'' by Turgut Ozakman about this point.
You also have to consider its suitability for the environment. Sufficiently warm for cold conditions and keeping off the sun and keeping you cool for colder conditions. You should also look for materials that don't get heavy when wet.
poor quality doesnt save you from cold nights or hot nights, and stones and rocks could damage your foot.
I think the Ottomans did fairly well considering that the Ottoman Empire was described as the "sick, old man of Europe" prior to the war and lost both the Italo-Turkish War of 1911 and the First Balkan War of 1912, and what they were up against in The Great War itself. They had to fight Imperial Russia on one front, the British Empire with its Commonwealth and colonies in the Mediterranean, "Palestine" and Arabia - where they also were facing a huge Arab revolt and tried preventing a total collapse of their country.
Then again the Ottoman Empire was partitioned at the end of the war and its perhaps fortunate for them that Russian Civil War became the main concern of the victorious allies and that Mustafa Kemal Ataturk managed to win the Turkish War of Independence - or else the Treaty of Sevres in 1920 would have been ratified reducing the remains of the Ottoman land to a small vassal state. Ok, I'd say the Greeks and Armenians probably wouldn't mind that...
James Shunt Even the Italians defeated them before the great war. They were really really weak.
Yes, we suck...but we have defeated you however
alright lets not get dirty gentlemen or I'll lick both of you (considering you guys are of age)
The Ottomans were largely supplied with German weapons. In the other wars they weren't and that's the difference.
James Shunt Let them mind this as much as they can :) since we're not going anywhere (maybe sometime we can manage to teleport right in the middle of Europe in future...i hope lol) they have a good reason to mind this.
i always thought the Turkish war hats were the coolest thank you for agreeing Indy
Kirk Fetkovic
Nah it was the German hats, no body can ignore those majestic pikes.
In Mesopotamia uniform trousers were Kut short
Zog!
Kut that out.
This section of the channel should be called The Great Wardrobe
i see what you did there.........
Kut that out ;)
The uniforms of the Ottomans was certainly unique n interesting. I like their look very much. Nice job with this video.
Mainly based on the German model, speaking about officer uniforms. Soldier uniforms were simple.
@@bodoor8172---Okay
@ichoked yourwife Your name makes this ironic 🤡
@@bodoor8172 lol i didn't know german officers wore a belt withe star and crescent in the middle and the turkish headwear..
You know you're screwed when your military relies on tourist guide books as military maps..
Yep.
hahaha Still won Gallipoli
Claystead To be fair the only reason they lost the cruiser was the fact that a Norwegian fort had a hidden torpedo battery
Well, they still won the battle of Gallipoli, so...
U.S. in Grenada did this also...
On a sidenote the officer at 2:58 is the famous Huseyin Avni Bey, commander of the 57th Infantry Regiment. The 57th was the first Ottoman unit on the scene counterattacking the Allied landing at Anzac Cove, April 25th 1915 to gain time for reinforcements to arrive. It was to the 57th that Kemal issued his famous proclamation - "I am not ordering you to attack, I order you to die! In the time which passes until we die, other troops and commanders can take our place!"
I think it was in Seven Pillars of Wisdom, TE Lawrence claimed that Ottoman supplies were so scarce that Turkish soldiers who weren't immediately in combat or on duty had to give their boots to soldiers that were.
Bf1 should have had a Ottoman soldier campaign.
I haven't played bf1 much but I hated the campaign idea where I played as the Australian guy. That one I STRONGLY believed the player should have been one of the locals in Istanbul fending off the biggest naval bombardment in history. That would a lot more interesting and dramatic than listening to a Aussie speaking how bad ass he is when all he does is just runs around as a runner and is part of the team that failed at their objective. It just wasn't a good campaign representing Australians to me. That level was just a missed opportunity for Turkish people. I am not even Turkish and even I can recognized this.
When did he talk about being a badass?
They should have added Central Powers campaign which they did not. As a turk i thank you about what you wrote that there should be a turkish campaign but show a little respect to the Australian guy it was bloody DICE. You know what i campaign i despise most is the Nothing is Written bloody SJW PC campaign that one really check that out.
"Australians are tough to kill." He states in one of the cinematic scenes. Just watch the videos on youtube. Honestly I don't mind characters stating stuff like this. Frankly when I realized after watching him act very patriotic and proud I said to myself, "Wait a minute. He's doing what a lot of none Americans always complain about Americans do in their media (games/movies)? Oh my f*cking gosh! This is what annoys them and complain about? Haha! What a bunch of over sensitive cry babies. I knew all along they were complaining because they had over sensitive egos and this proves it."
sharkfinbite Well yeah, but he probably just said that to comfort the new guy. He even proved himself wrong by dying in the end.

A common misconception about Rasputin is that he was the man behind the Tsarina. This is simply incorrect. he was also on top of her. and underneath her.
Zing!
Your killing me! But not as badly as Rasputin.
dude you are in the wrong video
gross
*incomplete
Easily the most interesting country for uniforms because of the sheer variety and mix of cultural influences. I would have liked more on Ottoman metal helmets though!
+umjackd good luck finding licensable images of these.
they used some standard m16/17s and also had some with the front and side brims trimmed. theres a visorless m18 that was purportedly produced for turkey but theres no hard evidence of this nor were any delivered. you see pics of them mostly with post war german friekorps. theres some speculation that they were, in fact, produced for tank crews but theres no hard evidence of this either.
I love this channel for the wealth of everyone's knowledge that they're willing to contribute. :)
Srgt Johnson "back in my day we didn't have no fancy smanshy tanks. We were armed with two sticks. And a rock. And we had to SHARE the rock!" Basically the Ottoman Empire
good episode, there's precious little about the turks out there. Osprey does a good monograph on them but the key element was night marish logistics combined with a stuborn nature created an army of soldiers who deserved better masters and should be remembered as more than just the 'baddies' in films like 'Lawrence of arabia' and 'the light horse'
A fun game to play early in the Great War was "Spot the French soldier." The Germans proved very good at this game because the French entered the war wearing bright blue coats and red pants.
Really good job, i like the fact that you guys mention a lot nice little details. And i really respect the way how you guys try to be as objective as possible!
1:55 If they were designed by Envar Pasha they would've had sharp steel spikes on the insides.

Hi Indy and guys! I have just finished Sleepwalkers, the book written by Christopher Clark and I liked it a lot. It explains a lot of the causes that ended up causing the war and give a refreshing view about the "guilty" warring nations. Can you make a lecture guide about the WW1? It could be cool a video exploring the different books that are avalaible, their strong and weak sides... Keep up the good work!
This Indie guy has so much class and sohpistication that I'm going to turn into a teapot.
I would have never been interested in WW1 if i hadn't saw this channel good job guys keep up the great work!
Im excited to see more of the uniform series. Great work Indy + crew
Hey, another nice video here! As I see, there's not much stuff about Ottoman army. I'll hopefully sit and wait in front of my PC to see more videos like this one... Thanks for all your work on the channel, Indy and The Great War team!
Well, you know how 1917 went along for the Ottomans, so there will definitely be more. If only there would be more photo material too.
OK, I'm on stand-by... Did you ever take a look at "Hamidiye" (or "Aşiret") Regiments especially? You probably meant them while saying "Auxillary Cavalries". Most people don't know what Kurds and Arabs did in Ottoman Army and how was their effect, that would be an interesting video to explain that.
The Empire maybe dead, But Its Sons Still LIVE!

Cardinal Empire Don't mind him/her just stupid Ottoman praisers.
Wax_ Simulacra It is forbidden to be proud of the sacrifice of my grandfathers?

great episode!!! as a collector im always interested in the gear used. it gives one a very poignant to events to hold an article of gear that some soldier used or wore during the events of that time.
i love the kalabak. always wanted one but theyre rare and expensive.
Everything from the Ottoman Army is rare and expensive, isn't it?
The Great War some of the mausers and mauser ammo pouches arent too expensive. yet.
Excellent video, as always. You've done several videos on the uniforms of the various Armies, but the Great War was also a Naval war! As a U.S . Navy veteran (Vietnam), I'd love to see some episodes relating the roles played (for example, thanks to the U.S. Navy's convoy escorts, not one Doughboy lost his life to German U Boats crossing the pond), and on the uniforms of the various Navies, particularly the Royal Navy and the United States Navy. Without the Navy's defeat of the U Boats, and the blockade of Germany, the outcome of the War might have been different.
+Matthew Robinson you can imagine that we're saving a lot of US coverage for later this year and of course 2018. Navy episodes will also expanded.
Thank you. I don't know what roles were played by the French, Italian, and other Navies, but I do know the German Imperial Navy, the Royal Navy, and the United States Navy all played key roles in the war, the United States Navy coming of age during the war, and even equaling the Royal Navy by war's end.
Great show! I have followed it from week 12. Very informative!

hehehe
I am getting into this all because I recently purchased an Ottoman Mauser rifle. It's fascinating stuff!
My Great Grandfather fought against the ANZAC in Gallipoli 70 Percent of the troops for the Ottomans were from Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Palestine Region, lots of Christians, Jews and Muslim Troops fought like mad men during that battle but they are mostly forgotten
Falconssoar
When your great grandfather died and are you turkish?
Wrong. There was only one regiment (77th IR. Poorly fought, fled from the battlefield on first day, and subsequently kept away from the critical portion of the front as an 'unreliable detachment') in which rate of the Arabs (mostly Syrian Arabs), Yazidis etc. hits nearly 60%. The vast majority of Ottoman soldiers were from Western Anatolia, Central Anatolia, and Eastern Thrace.
spot the kemalist
My great grandfather fought in mesopotamia modern iraq and yes Emre if you are reading this i am a turk so was my great grandfather
If you ever visited the military cemetery at Gallipoli, you must have seen people who were born in places like Beirut, Tripoli, Haifa, Tripoli, Jaffa etc lying dead. Also there were (naturally) many non-Muslim privates and officers. One infamous example is Captain Sarkis Torossian who was wounded in Gallipoli in 1915, went back to his hometown in Anatolia (Kayseri) and found out his whole family was murdered and so joined the Arab Revolt. Many Ottoman Armenians, Jews, Greeks and Assyrians also fought for their country and died defending it.
Watched the video while wearing a Kabalak :)
I really like this new video about the ottoman uniforms and I would like to see a similar video about my homeland army-the Bulgarian one. Thank you in advance.
Any proper English speaking sources about that topic?
best historical channel on youtube. wish to cover other eras and conflicts
Never say never ;)
This channel is fantastic!!!! Watch it every day
Austro-Hungarian uniforms next? Lots of variation there too.
The Woolly Eel I agree
Ottoman uniforms are the best by far :D
Mücahit Toplu I think the Germans look the best

Bluemoon1 11 That’s why their uniforms was the best.
@@MalaKrekarwhat?!?!? Even better than the British trousers worn up to the nipples
@Rose can't remember XD
NKVD uniforms in leather look awesome tho
Great special Indy and crew!
Thanks!! This was just the run-down I was looking for. My grandfather was a cagus at the battle of Gallipoli and I was wanting to know what he would have worn, as we have no photos from that time.
I'm starting to see why Germany was blamed for WWI, they didn't start it but they kept their allies afloat in it. Without Germany the Ottomans would have lost sooner and the Austia-Hungarian's would have been all but self defeating. Germany is the one that was able to keep the war going for years.
+HovercraftHolidays yet, as has been covered in this show and other places, the Axis also had the initiative trying to negotiate peace, and the entente refused more than once.
So it's unfair to say it was Germany keeping the war going, they weren't just going to surrender and let France, Russia and England walk over them, we all know what the entente conditions for ending the war were.
Zoltan Csikos
First the one thing we have seen repeatedly without German Aid the Austria Hungarians couldn't fight there way out of a wet paper bag.
And like I stated this was was caused by Austria Hungary to Germany's protest! Once in I don't blame them for fighting it out to the end but you can see how the Allies would have spent many months bitching that if it wasn't for Germany the war would be over. Austria-Hungary took severe causilties fighting Serbia alone, the Russian line was held with German support. After Austria Hungry and Ottomans surrendered all that was left was Germans who held out and fought hard against the allies. So I can see why they would be unhappy with Germany in the end.
Great work here!
What an excellen channel :D
Muy buen show, felicitaciones!
Very nice and useful info.
Thanks from Kuwait.
When I joined the corps we didn't have no fancy smancy tanks, we had sticks! 2 sticks and a rock for the whole platoon! AND WE HAD TO SHARE THE ROCK.

Dear Indy and whole crew. Great product, with room for basic improvements. I am considering becoming a substantial patron. But with my ultimate goal to licensee this quality history education tool to over 33000 US high school classrooms. Indy needs to take advantage of the fact he is not wheel chair bound and become slightly animated upright in front of a grease pencil board in front of the map doing an old time weather man visual but with troop movement. This small adjustment will increase membership by 15 % in 2 months. Call me back when you want more tips.
As an addition to that, we know that the military history portion of our show (in terms of more detailed troop movements for more than just two scenes in the show) is something where we could improve. That's why it's also a stretch goal on Patreon to introduce a dedicated military history format to the show if we reach 20,000$ on Patreon. This would probably be a bit separated from the main format mainly because the time constraints Indy talked about in his comment.
I love your vids keep it up
Respect all countries from Turkey.
Perhaps I've missed it but, you haven't mentioned that some of the Turkish officers (perhaps even all of them) wore a hat called Kalpak.You know that big, black hat that Ataturk wore.

I don't think looking good is very important in combat... just needs to do a good job at protecting you from the elements and enemy.
The pomp and graduer of military tradition didn't exactly match reality of modern war
Mr Plague
*looks at France*
Red Pants for the win boys!!!
the whole "looking good" thing dates back to louis XIV, when the armies became more professional, dangerous and doubled in size. The gradual elimination of mercenaries and the rise of the National Army required new troops, a lot of them, and as you can imagine, trodding to the dirt only to stand in lines 30 meters apart and fire at each other is not a good selling point. After all: if morale fell, a line broke, and the battle was lost. Fancy, bright uniforms provided a great sell to the poorly clad and poorly fed peasants, who, often as a umptieth child had little to look forward to. On the other hand they created a sense of unity and uniformity, greatly enhancing discipline and boosting morale (regiments became tight knit micro-societies with their own songs, colours and prestige). And lastly of course it was a way for a ruler to show off, to make clear he was the best, the richest and that his troops were superior, if only in dress. Probably totally irrelevant in ww1, but seeing the mythos around the old guard, the black watch and other famous and distinct units, it is understandable, yet not excusable.
Ward Vermassen
also fosters a sense of national pride and encourages further militarism, as these become popular figures back home which aided in recruitment and justifying the further commitments to wars, but as I said, it doesn't match up to the realities of modern war

I think the ottoman uniforms are ok, the worst are the russian ones. In my opinion the best looking uniforms are the german ones, especially with the add of the stahlhelm. German uniforms are so beautiful, it shows the tradition and power, I really like them.
In BF1 I think the shock troop of the ottomans, looks too much like the german sturmtruppers, they should had changed that.
Lucas I The Great you suck because you using the nazi simple
Lucas I The Great What's wrong with the Russian Uniforms?
Italian and Japanese WW1 uniforms are some of favourites. Imperial russian uniforms look fine to me.
I actually really really like Russian uniforms
I think that the ww1 Stahlhel look really goofy
Thank you for this episode
Your fairness and impartiality is truly admirable, particular in a time that Truth seems to have no value and producing Lies earns people popularity, fame and fortune.
Thank you Sir.

Thank you for this Film
Names for headings feel a bit wrong, traditionally what we see Ataturk used is "Kara Kalpak" which mostly reflect Anti-Ottoman for protesting the Ottoman Government during Independence War rather than Anti-Islamic. I can prove that by giving some photos of Islamist pasha's wearing Kalpak. Comments about rebellion against heading or hats is more related to Republic's era and it is about civilian hats more than army headings. That is still a crucial matter for Turks, wrong information might serve as a false source for bad guys :D
The wrapped heading (Kabalak) which looks similar to British headings sometimes called "Enveriye". It could be a refenrence for who designed it maybe.
durukanus1 Atatürk didnt protest or riot. He made a revolution.
On the riot, yeah he did not. But in order to make a difference between Ankara Goverment and Ottoman Government (Istanbul) he used a different heading which is Kara Kalpak and that can be called protesting.
I still think that the Turks were the second strongest after the Germans, between the Central Powers.
1. Germany
2. Ottoman Empire
3. Bulgaria
4. Austria-Hungary
alperen kral Ottoman was first ? Haahahahh.Germans 100 times powerful than Ottomans.
Alvaro De Grandes I think Austria-Hungary was second,Ottoman Empire was third.
HistoryMan The Austrians had a major problems within the army like intelligibility between the soldiers due to their mixed heritages. Sure the Ottoman army had many many problems too, probably even more problems than the Austrian army had, but the Ottoman soldiers were braver. Just look at under which circumstances they were and how they kept on fighting till the end. I may seem a bit bias due to the fact i'm a Turk but that's my personal opinion.
@@AFT_05G u are kid of German?hahaha.ottoman have a great history u know?they ruled the world 600000000000000 y3473
Izzul Danish I’m Turk but this is WW1.Not 16th(Ottomans golden age and they were superpower this century)or 15th century.And Germany is strongest Central Power.Accept or refuse they had Great military. Ottoman Empire👍Germany
Great video, keep up the good work.
Always thought the Ottoman uniforms were a bit rough looking. This clears it up.
