Don't you guys think it is suspicious how Indy knows the story of this hungarian vampire so well off the top of his head? I mean facial surgery can do a lot today... First he wants to persuade us this vampire died, then tries to shift the blame...
Coincidence... i don’t think so
If he suddenly bursts into 'Fangs for the mammary' in the correct key, we'll know . . .
I like where you are going with that thought line, now we are all getting suspicious of Indy
John Doe Also known as a joke
Indy is totally a vampiric serial killer
At the end Flo will get so many raises that he will be able to finance his own field army
Kampfgruppe Florian
99th Florian Division?
Jagdgeschwader Flo
He'll get so much coal, Trump will knight him for saving the Kingdom of America.
99th Floral Division
Conrad von Hötzendorf was clearly attempting to kill of the vampire with his Carpathians campaigns
Jacob Vanderhoeven would make sense
>Implying that Conrad wasn’t the Vampire’s alter ego.
We've been too harsh
Indiana Neidell declares himself emperor of the southern german republic with Conrad Von Hotzendorf as his army chief of staff, Feb 10, 1918 (colorized)
Red Tailed Hawk yes
And DJ Ötzi as chancellor.
Emperor of a republic?
Red Tailed Hawk that is crazy for a ww1 solder from hungry to be a vampire
Emperor If the republic, yay
Bela Kiss, pioneer of Tinder before 1914.
amazing- Bela Kiss (Kiss bela in Magyar practice) was a common name..... wild
Oh darn. I was thinking about that.
Tinder had got me a few barrel fulls myself
The vampire moved to Austria and became a failed painter
alexander williams Then he shot himself.
Named davinci
alexander williams jk ofc
haha did he have a small mustache
failed painter,great engineer
Gotta love Out of the trenches!
'cause, why not?
Apparently, Bela immigrated to America and changed his name to Billy Bob Neidell. There he raised a son and he taught him the dark arts before his passing. Some say his son is still out there, carrying out his Father's mission.
Austro-Hungarian serial killer vampire... are we talking about Conrad ?
No it's about DJ Ötzi
Duke of Lorraine Probably yes
Conrad Von Draculadorff
Duke of Lorraine WRONG! ITS VLAD THE IMPALER!
More like sloppy commanding
Speaking of vampires named Bela in World War 1, Bela Lugosi was a veteran of the Great War, and was also wounded, which contributed to his later drug addiction as an actor.
I was going to suggest "Went to Hollywood and changed his name to 'Legosi'"
thexalon you mean Lugosi
"...THE DIRTY PAST OF TONY STELLER... Tony's not here, right?"
That cracked me up XD
So glad that these people are being presented to a broader audience: Bela Kiss, Lettow-Vorbeck, Ungern-Sternberg...
My suggestions now:
- Adrian Carton de Wiart, "The unkillable"
- Momčilo Gavrić, the Serbian little-boy soldier
- Enrico Toti, the one-legged bersagliere
Gavric's gotten pretty famous, lately, it seems.
Oooh, de Wiart is still an underrated one. Old guts was almost indestructible! He’s the Vegeta of World Wars, never gave up.
The best joke I've seen so far from the WW1 era:
A German civilian is vacationing in Switzerland. He asks a Swiss soldier in a tavern, "Comrade, if German soldiers invaded Switzerland, would you shoot at them?" "No." "Bartender, a beer for my new friend! And your fellows at the next table, would they shoot at the Germans?" "No." "Bartender, a round for everyone! Now tell me, why would you not shoot at the Germans?" "We're in the band."
John Sproule i dont get it
It's The Real McCoy Some people thought Germany might invade Switzerland to outflank the French. The German tourist thinks the Swiss soldier is saying he would not fight to stop that. But he's only saying that, being in the military band, he would play his instrument while the Swiss army tried to shoot the Germans to pieces.
John Sproule - while the Swiss army TRIED to shoot the Germans to pieces?! I believe that it would have been as Yoda says, "Do or do not; there is no try."
Contrast this with the Polish gag about who they would shoot first.
In other words, they were tooters, not shooters!
Is it just me, or is Archangel the coolest sounding name ever? It sounds like a code name from a John Le Carre cold war novel.
Philip Cowell, I think Archangel is a VERY cool name, too!
I use ARCHANGEL as a code name as often as possible.
Kiss in Hungarian is pronunced as Kish.
More like Keesh?
I marvel at Indie's ability to make a horrific war entertaining.
Indy,
I have a question for out of the trenches that is somewhat relevant to your self declared continuous state of Halloween :). Could you explain what happened with the "Attack of The Dead Men" on the Eastern Front? Was it just a folktale? Did they posses salvaged equipment to survive the bombardment? Hope this makes it into Out Of The Trenches. Thanks!
I think Indy actually did a video on that! Not in this channel, though.
ua-cam.com/video/Kzzo0uRPaoQ/v-deo.html
But Indy, aren't you too generous when it comes to giving out coal? How will we power our long outdated warships running on coal if we give all the coal to Flo? SMS Rubber Ducky needs coal more than some Flos running about answering comments.
Wait... you aren’t using the new Dreadnoughts? Not even those that are oil fired and coal fired?
Jason Liu Are you out of your mind? Those are expensive! We already spent most of our funds on SMS Rubber Ducky. A Dreadnought would require much more Patreon patrons.
Jason Liu Stop saying such nonsense, coal ships are the thing you mad German
I'm Canadian... We use oil fired Crusiers...
Jason Liu And I am actually Chinese well 25%, 50% is Cambodian and Cambodia was Indochina which was part of China which was part of France and btw I am 20% French and 5% Canadian
Austro-Hungarian Serial Killer Vampire?
I hope this one will be even better than "Angel and Snake".
Bela now hides under the false name of Indy.
Another amazing episode! You guys hit it out of the park every time. Keep up the Great Work on the Great War.
DJ Ötzi really?😂😅
Great info on some of the overlooked details of the war - thanks for posting!
That thumbnail is just... amazing
1917, Bela becomes an actor and changes his name to Lugosi.
The depth of this show is just awesome. It is a lot more detailed than what, say, the "Western front association" is producing. This channel is a masterpiece from the beginning to the end.
I haven't even watched this yet and still it sounds like it is going to be the best episode of the entire channel.
Nice story you told Indy. Great job.
Hello Indy for special out of the trenches: pls explain how Austria -Hungary manage to make a coordinated attack if there are so many ethic minorities and language
Super late reply but the languages of the army were German and Hungarian. Franz Joseph fought to maintain that for cohesion purposes. While many of the soldiers obviously has their own languages if they were in the army or especially an officer or higher up then they almost assuredly would've spoken either German or Hungarian
Hey Indy my birthday is October 31st. So that makes everyday I watch the Great War my birthday! Thanks!
That thumbnail is perfect.
Such benevolence! Magnificent.
Bands in war were a form of messengers of orders to the troops in the 18th Century AD, they played a tune and you knew what you were supposed to do at any given time: it was a way to convey orders over the noise and chaos of battle.
Best thumbnail ive ever seen
Ayy my comment is earlier so you are copying me
didnt saw it
Jeune Lesquenien ✋🏻😕🤚🏻
Congrats on 800k!
Have you considered that maybe Flo is the one asking those questions that conveniently end with them asking Flo get a raise? :D
Keep it up! Love the show
This is why I subscribe to this channel. Not for the history just for the strange stories that get told. Seriously though that story is crazy.
Hey Indi! Love the work you and your crew do! Can we have a special on Jazz in the Great War?
Very entertaining and educational my Grandfather's fought Love to see series about different types of artillery
Hey guys! Let me join to the choir of the ones that appreciate your great job! And I have a question as well :) I read recently, that Einstein’s papers on general relativity (published 1916) could not reach the Allies before the end of the war. Is it true? What was the situation of science, scientists and scientific institutions during the war? It would be awesome if you could answer! Bests!
He was last glimpsed (supposedly) entering a subway in NYC in 1932 by a detective with a great memory for faces, who could not get through the crowds to see where he was going. A variant of this incident occurs in a Basil Rathbone film, "The Mad Doctor" in 1941, involving an Austrian born detective and Rathbone's associate in killing women, Martin Kosleck.
Hi Indy and crew this show has given me a lot of insight into a piece of forgotten history, I have a question for out of the trenches during the war on the battlefield where food supplies were short enough for men to eat the leather from their shoes were there any cases of cannibalism especially during the Russian winter in the mountains during the war? Thank you and keep up the great work.
Wow - never heard of Bela Kiss before!
Best Vampire Story ever!
As a current combat veteran, ill say that military bands still exist and now include modern instruments. We all resented their arrival, attendance was mandatory and we (infantry in kunar province) would have preferred more sleep.
2:34 *King Neidell I of Coolsylvania announces more coal for everyone (Feb. 10th, 1918, colorized 1993)*
Very funny!! Great video!!
OMG! What a story! They should make a movie!
Ty
Hell yeah DJ Ötzi 😅 Best Schlagerstar out there
I believe that in some British Commonwealth military forces, band members were also used as stretcher bearers during battle.
I love you Indy !
My grandfather was a Hungarian Hussar Colonel. Was hoping you could dedicate an episode to their story... Cheers.
That cover lol. Indy you are a genius
I love your guys sense of humor. So funny 😂
Hoffman represent!!
Hello nice video very creative thanks for you videos saludos
Yoooo fellas! You guys are like legit stars now a days! Woooooohooooooo! Go History Buffs, Tomorrow's movie stars!!!!
PS....no addiction is cool, boys...lol :)
Reading the title i thought it was about Elizabeth Bathory, i was pretty confused about what a 16th century hungarian countess was doing in the great war. Turns out there's more than 1 hungarian serial killer vampire, well something new to find out every day. Great work guys!
He’s an ancestor of mine!
Hey Indy, have you ever seen the Australian mini series Anzacs? I recommend it for anyone who is interested in the Great War
Indy and the team, a question for Out of the Trenches: as a translator and linguist, I am interested in use of languages in WWI. Most monarchs and generals at that time were highly educated and spoke several languages e.g. Nicholas II spoke Russian, French, German and English at a native level, there are lots of letters where he speaks with his future wife and Kaiser Wilhelm (WIlly) in perfect English. Did the generals of the western front communicate in English or French? What language was used in the Austro-Hungarian army, what language did the participants of the Brest-Litovsk talks use? Cheers.
To the language in the austro hungarian army: I'm not sure if indy already told it or if i read it somewhere, but as far as i remember Officers had to at least speak german and hungarian, so at top level those 2 were used, breaking it down to smaller units if you get down below offivers level of command: usually they used the language of the majority of the soldiers of the particular unit, and all soldiers had to know the usual commands in german and hungarian. The exception of that was the AH-Navy which used german as official "service language" (since 1850 before mostly venetian and everthing else to the proportion of participants)
Love this subject so much and like this Gene Wilder-esq host. Joy
What a great thumbnail! 👌
Reminds me that Bela Lugosi of "Dracula" fame fought in the Austro-Hungarian army during the war, and that F.W. Murnau, director of the 1922 vampire horror film "Nosferatu", partially drew inspiration for the film from the stories about vampires he heard while fighting in the German army alongside Eastern European Habsburg troops.
Bela Kiss is now a worker in a Fish and Chips shop in Wigan.
When those decorations popped out I busted out laughing lol. Great channel
That intro deserved a like.
Could the Germans have used something like a submarine of some sort to start trading at least in a small scale?
They actually did launch two merchant submarines, the first payed for itself 4 times over after arriving the US. The main things they purchased were chemical dye and nickel. I think it did two journeys to the US before the US declaration of war and after that it did a fine business sinking ships as a regular submarine. The second left port on its first journey and it never arrived at destination, no definitive facts are known of what happened.
They actually did. They build two and one of them made it successfully to the US. The second one disappereared and they never tried it again.
WE WUZ wow, interesting indeed
Yes Germany did to some degree during the conflict with the USA before they took the side of the allies after Germany sank the Lusitania passengers ship.Germany traded pharmaceuticals with the USA for metal's and food stuff's.
Submarines during WW1(in fact, until the development of the nuclear sub) were basically submersible boats that used their batteries while travelling underwater. Their speed and range is very limited this way, and a sub will always have a considerably lower cargo capacity than a cargo ship. It is not worth it, especially against a blockade by the most powerful navies in the world. Conventional subs subs spend most of their time surfaced
Hi, Indy and team thanks for the great and educational content. I have a question for Out of the Trenches due to the vast amount of time the soldiers had on their hands did they play any games while they waited, and if so what were their favorite games. Once again thanks for the great content.
Hi indie! Question for out the trenches:
When a central or allied army occupied a territory or a nation, what did they do about criminal cases that were already being investigated before they occupied the nation? And what did the military do if they discovered a Crime taking place when they arrived?
I really liked that bedtime story about Bela Kiss
Could you make a special episode on Scotland and the great war as I am covering this topic in my history class (in scotland) although most things we learn are not specific to Scotland and relate to Britain as a whole. Thank you.
Hey Indy and crew! Love the show and appreciate all the hard work you guys put Into it. Give your self a raise Indy!
I have a question for out of the trenches. Considering the amount of counties Britian and France had on their side, how was Germany able to keep up, take on the allies on so many fronts and still give the allies a run for their money? If Germany were to go to war against a single nation at the time, do you believe they would have been able to secure an easy victory? For example France vs German or Britian vs German.
Cheers from Toronto, Canada!
There is a military march named Black Jack March, named Gen. Pershing which is still played today. It was published in 1917 or 1918.
Hey Indy, question for Out Of The Trenches. I heared Kaiser Wilhelm had a crazy plan to navally invade the US in 1912? Thanks, love your channel, keep up the great work!
sweet chair
An Austrian HH Holmes
hey guys glad to see you are still going strong with the show :-) I was wondering if in the next out of the trenches you could talk about the story of the crucified soldier? also since it is halloween all the time in the show know any good ghost stories?
Best thumbnail ever
Great show, guys! What about Out of the Trenches about athletes who joined the cause i.e. Eddie Grant, first major leaguer to be killed in action, 1918?
"If you're a WW1 Hungarian serial killer, swipe left!"
My Grand Father was a bandsman in the 4th London Rifle Regiment and was in Mons before WWI started or the British Expedition Force had even left Britain he had two Mons Stars as he was there on the first day of WWI and back again in Mons on the last day of WWI most of his regiment were wiped out at Ypres
Hey Indiana Neidell (cool name by the way,) and The Great War Team. Thanks for a very good show, it's really amazing! I have learnt so much and it's changed a lot of my opinions as well. I haven't even seen them all yet. But I'm going to try and watch them all. They are so interesting, that I've found myself coping Indi's actions and the way he tells stories. The best thing about that is: people are listening more to what I have to say.. these videos are the best for learning about the great war and how it happened..
I have a question for you:
Would you have joined the war if you was the British prime minister? ..
Thank you!
If Eric Hartman really is his name, that is awesome, both because of the WWII ace and the South Park character!
This is really funny, i'm sitting in front of my computer just like 20 minitues of walk away from Cinkota! :D I've heard these stories and i even searched for his house but i couldn't find it tho...:/ Keep up the great work!
Man! I doubt I would go near that place haha
Yeah, he may be still lurking in the nearby forest, altough i'm a man and i wouldn't fit into a can like that so i think i'm safe. :D Gonna increase my garlic consumption to be sure :D
Also, I've never heard of gasoline or anything, I read that he was a tinsmith and when the landlord of his house went to do some renovations on the house, he went to the backyard for some materials and that's when they found the bodies.
Well isn't that interesting. Strange how some stories have differing versions, and begin to enter an almost mythological dimension. Pretty good gruesome story either way. RIP ladies.
I was excited to finally learn more about ww1 in 8th grade social studies class, but it only lasts for 2 weeks of learning while other historical subjects were 1 or 2 months. We did not even talk about a single battle!
Hey Indy! Your show is truly a public service in the way that it makes history accessible to a generation otherwise largely uninterested in the subject. My question is: Have you considered writing books? Perhaps you could write about topics which don't receive enough attention in history. Just a thought. I am sure that many of your fans would buy any books you write.
The best thumbnail ever
History happens with very few individuals.
Hi Flo, Indy and team!
I have a question for OOTT. When looking at maps of WWI, I noticed that a small part of Germany near Mulhouse and the Swiss border was behind French lines during most of the war. How was the French occupation of this area? Did they treat it like an occupied part of Germany, or like a liberated part of France (since it was part of Alsace-Lorraine)? Thanks in advance for answering the question, and keep up the good work!
A awesome question that should have been answered
its funny what you said about the grenadiers march, actually spanish anathem is a grenadiers march, or at least is called that way "Marcha Granadera"
A+
Hi Indy, many in Ireland know about our country's role in the Great War, from soldiers and divisions fought on the front line to the evolution of the political landscape at home, which isn't entirely unlike the Balkans under the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Unfortunately, not many outside know the extent of it, if that makes sense, especially when looking at pre-war relations between Irish and Irish-American republicans and the German Empire. Could you possibly explain a little of Ireland in a future video?
pls feature the avenging angel of neuve chapelle during the great war. more power!
Nice Ministry reference! Everyday is Halloween 😉
Anton aus Tirol, yay!
Would be nice to see a video about Amrican colony like Puerto Rico on ww1
When do you do a special about Sgt York?
