Soldiers seem happy to have survived the war. Sad to think many of their sons wouldn’t survive the next one.
For now, they'd have to worry with the very state of their nation before this approaching calamity
...their sons and they themselfe!
It is sick seeing all the warfare, brutality, death and destruction. All for the Banksters.
@@VidarrKerr which turns out also precipitated the next great conflict after the Banksters tasted their own medicine in '29 and onwards. The more loose they become, the more the sizeable damage would follow... they can be too big to fail
@@shinsenshogun900 Well, they haven't failed so far, and it has been many centuries since they began "Printing" money. If we could stop them in the 21st Century, it would be the Greatest Turning Point for Good, in Humanity's History, for Millennia.
Love seeing people who are looking at the cameraman, and are thrilled. Probably the first time they've seen a cameraman with his hand crank.
And probably the last too. They were in the middle of a pandemic and a world war!
@@JuniorJr... Well the world war had just ended but yes they were soon to face the ravages of the German Civil War.
@@dertery8724 Unless the areas where the marching armies are filmed were in France, they've just have the flu to worry about
At least there were no more French army mutinies
@@shinsenshogun900 Well they certainly would be demobbed almost immediately. But don’t forget the German Revolution and civil war which was occurring at home.
@@dertery8724 Yeah, plus segments of the Allied army having to remobilize them to war-torn Russia
Absolutely amazing, all of a sudden 1918 isn’t that far gone anymore.
3:50 So fascinated by the camera. Little did they know that 100 years later people would be watching them on computer screens.
And mobile cell phones 😆
I remember the first time I was recorded back in 1990 and just the thought of being filmed and watching a playback of myself was so exciting! Now, every gets to be a star… narcissistic behavior at an all time high.
@@aprilrain4296 Hello! I watched your video! I never knew about that case before I clicked on your channel.
@@superdave354
Poor Summer still hasn't been found 😢.
I want to know what people will think about us. 😄
You have one of the best channels on UA-cam. Thank you for keeping history alive from around the world.
00:50 is insane that little scene where they are all staring at the camera. The two boys run up cheerfully and point and stare. Even the soldier can’t help but peek back over his shoulder. The little girl bottom left is visibly kind of upset and doesn’t know what to even think about it. Incredible.
The reactions are the best. Sometimes you see people posing because they think camera is taking still photo.
It’s depressing to see the joy of the armistice when a bigger war would happen a few decades
a greater war would always loom when major treaties are being torn and nations trampled while conniving stock market crashers sunder world economies
@@shinsenshogun900 That sounds like a statement equally pertinent today.
Greater Wars will Always happen, until ALL Global Central Banks are owned by one, cohesive group of families, or until the World gets Sick and Tired of their Tyranny and finally descends upon them in a hail of pitchfork spikes and .223/5.56.
WW1 was far worse for France than WW2. It’s why they quickly capitulated in 1940. There were around 1.5m French military deaths in WW1 and around 212,000 in WW2, though there were around the same number of civilian deaths and about 100,000 French victims of the Holocaust. Around 4.5m Frenchmen were wounded in WW1, of whom 1.5m were permanently maimed.
My great grandfather had PTSD from that war. He was an ambulance driver then was attached to the French Army. He lived a long life though…
This is very sad. Stupid war affected many lives. May he rest in peace
Its amazing how the world looked simple and slow back then, but anyone who reads the accounts of these people will know that the world had been changing drastically within their lifetimes. Many children in this video will live long enough to see humanity land a man on the moon.
Nobody has seen that yet.
Most of these soldiers would live to see it , too.
Yeah, NOW, we have Global House Arrests, mass Surveillance, Censorship like never before, and Forced Participation in Experimental Injectables. That happened fast.
@@VidarrKerr And most of those things are because of who won the world wars.
@@folksurvival That's Right. Their evilness is so twisted, it makes stopping them very difficult. It seems we can only slow them down, have a war, then start over.
I love these vids -- to see them in high resolution and color makes history come alive. I also appreciate how you use music and not fake ambient sound for the background.
The "fake" ambient sounds, when well done, bring life to the images.
@@Brandespada I disagree... precisely because they're fake.
@@kck9742 The colors are fake too
@@nathanvangoor4979 They're not "fake", they're just not perfectly accurate.
@@kck9742 You tell me the difference between adding your own colors and adding your own sound in terms of "fake"-ness
That music by Schumann was a poignant background for these scenes. I know that the war brought starvation, homelessness and sickness, so I suppose everybody, even the soldiers, were relieved at the war's end.
You mean especially the soldiers. They had it worst
THE VIDEO IS EXCELLENT,IT ALLOWS US TO TRAVEL THROUGH ALL THE CENTURIES,THE COLORIZATION IS FASCINANTING THE GENIUS OF THIS CHANNEL HAS NO COMMENTS.THANK YOU VERY MUCH💡
There is a scene in a ww1 documentary where the soldiers get confused and a bit lost after the armistice and the sounds of the weapons goes silent
They then realise that the fighting is over and they now have find something else to do!
Uwielbiam stare filmy. Dzięki że mogę oglądać twoje. Siła to jedność ✊
Thanks for always including the music composition title in the description!
You always pair well.
this was beautiful, thank you!
Wow this is so powerful. Thank you for all the hard work you’re doing sharing this with us I will be passing this to our three children so future generations do not forget!
Semper Fi!🇺🇸👍🏽
104 years apart and we''re both amazed at each other.
one of my favorite channels in youtube.this is amazing🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Crazy how many horses there still were, and how a full-scale invasion was literally done on foot. They just walked from Germany to France. Taking the long route.
This was largely true in the Second World War as well. While the propaganda reels always showed German tanks and vehicles rolling into neighboring countries, Germany’s army was not very motorized at that point either. With the exception of maybe the American and British armies later in the war, most of the supplies were still towed by horse
Now they have to walk back!
Horses were highly praised and very valuable assets. We get confused because the lame horses are shot, but in the peoples' minds and the conditions back then, it was a good moral choice for them to shoot the horse, versus letting a wounded, sick horse suffer mercilessly until it died. It wasn't like they could take the horses to a clinic, or stop the war to treat all the horses. Different times and War sux.
@@VidarrKerr Who knows if those horses got home to Germany, but the British horses were left at the French ports, to become horse meat.
@@chuckemmorll2821 Yeah, they still eat horse. My comment is odd now, because I was responding to someone and they deleted their post.
Incredible piece of history! thank you!
Fascinating footage thanks for sharing!
Priceless documents ! What a brilliant idea to restore It and publish It . Just note that the french flags were not colored entirely at the 4':05 " but all the other details are astonishing .
Thanks so much for sharing.
This is so amazing! Looking back into history the way things " used " to be. Notice NO automobiles. Truly another time. I learned in a college Civil War class about riding Wheel, Swing, and Lead. The riders on the horses puling the cannons are doing exactly that! The rider closest to the wheel is obviously wheel the middle rider is Swing and the rider on the front horse is riding Lead,, History in motion!
I’m enjoying getting a glimpse of all the vintage films, especially colorized. To think, All of this people are long gone!
Great video as always. I'm just getting started in colorization and the one thing that's challenging is every non-human thing is either grey, blue or brown with random magenta. I mean, obviously everybody wasn't wearing blue or brown clothing. I imagine much of it was black or dark grey. AI still has some growth ahead. Cheers.
What kind of software you are using?
Heard many common folk were shocked that the German military list the war. Censorship was strict so many didn’t know what was going on n at the front
Yeah. Also, the Entente never had many soldiers step onto German land in the war so the German people presumed the war was yet to end but thankfully, she did.
I admire the respect and polite behavior of people, after 4 years of cruel war.
I think today's society is much more stupid.
Today, the people would be calling out ‘Go home ya bums!’.
I wonder how many of the infantry who went to war in 1914 were there for the end.
@@sauron9883 I can't even begin to comprehend a soldier seeing active service from the beginning to end of the First World War. What a miserable business war is
@@sauron9883 My family immigrated to our USA before the war so we had relatives on both sides...
@@sauron9883 Its the quiet times when I feel down that memories are most alive. Sometimes I think the basis of PTSD is the never ending unanswered question....
I would imagine that most of the men that survived from the first battles of 1914 until the end were missing a limb or their health was ruined by typhus or gas. I remember an old WWI vet shaking like a leaf and coughing/hacking away as he entered the clinic. I was getting a physical so that I could compete in 5th grade basketball. He was going to breathe oxygen, I guess.
That was in 1971or 1972.
I wonder how many of those people in that town were present 22 years later when the German Army returned?
Historically speaking, WW1 was not all that long ago when one considers the scope of human history. Great video!
Some say, it's all the same war
@@barbfrank917 I've heard historian describe that as well; WW2 is an extension of unresolved matters from WW1.

Really Enjoy your Channel, Thank You. Seems were heading once again to that place with this Europe War once again. What did we learn .
¡Saludos desde Azua, República Dominicana! Felicidades y gracias por tu canal. Mantienes la historia en imágenes.
thanks!!
Great restored time document!
Here in that movie those comrades at both sides looking rather relaxed. I think the hate between nations rised by peace treaty in Versailles, in Europe and Near East as well. This was perhaps the second tragedy of ww1, not have spent enough time and good will setting up a long lasting peace contract like it was done after Napoleonic wars?
Amazing. watching those people looking straight at the camera is incredible. I guess this is the real time machine. be able to watch each other through times. thanks to a camera.
I didn't know they were allowed to keep their weapons. excellent video, thank you.
Why not? This was an armistice. They were not defeated. They went home not into captivity. I'm much more surprised that everything is so civilised here between the Germans and the French.
Btw when the Germans in WW2 defeated the French who saved the British a lot of time in Dunkirk they let them parade through the city in arms because even the Nazis respected the honour of the French soldiers.
@@apfelschorle1988 yes, you are right. they weren't prisoners. It's usually the horror of the trenches I think of, all that animosity, and then to see the soldiers marching home as if nothing had happened is a bit mind boggling to me.
@@apfelschorle1988 So in 1918, the French didn't defeat the German, it was only an armistice. In 1940, it was also an armistice but the German defeated the French. Classic…
@@lysithea9293 the French had the honour of the march but went into captivity and their country was occupied for years v. These Germans in WW1 were marching home. The defeat of their country came later.
There's a huge difference between being defeated personally and your country being defeated (later).
@@apfelschorle1988 And the US didn't lose in Vietnam because they occupied the country for 20 years and retreated peacefully… we got it.
For your record, the French occupied the Rhineland after the armistice for more than a decade.
I feel bad for the horses that had to carry riders and pull artillery at the same time.
Me too. Those poor horses suffered more than the people ever did……with most of them lame and ill shod just walking on their last bits of strength. Heartbreaking. The animals didn’t cause this war but they suffered the most…no doubt.
Who in their right mind would use cavalry in a war of automatic and vast guns?
@@penelopelopez8296 yes, because carrying heavy objects is worse than being shot, losing a limb, choking on air from a gas attack, being stabbed to death by a bayonet, and having the spend months in a disease-filled muddy trench for years.
@@Dr.KarlowTheOctoling Even in the WWII a lot of horses were used and millions of them died.
@@Dr.KarlowTheOctoling Who wouldn't? One cannot wage war without a tool to pursue and exploit breakthroughs, not to mention transporting stuff. They've used what they had available at the time. A horse is better than nothing at all.
i dont know why but its super creepy how the people look into the camera. Like its alien technology or so
People were not used to having cameras filming them in those days.
Imagine all the french veterans 21 years later seeing France fall in weeks to Germany. I cant fathom how they must have felt.
So WTF did all the soldiers have to die for in World war 1? Just what did it achieve? At the end of the war, the lucky ones to survive, get to go home! The unlucky one get to stay for an eternity in France, their young lives cut short, and for what? Only a handful of men in power, on both sides, actually wage war, and whole nations of young men are duped into fighting the enemy! Whilst those who started it, never pay any penalty for their irresponsible actions that they took in starting the war! I am not a pacifist, and believe you must defend yourself against attack! But the war criminals that wage war, should pay for it personally with their lives! they shouldn't be allowed to live, after inflicting so much pain suffering and death!
It all started when one Bosnian nationalist had the bright idea to kill Archduke Ferdinand....
World War 1 brought MANY necessary changes and inventions to human life that were could not of previously been thought of before. Primarily, technology and medicine that we all take for granted today.
Even though you clearly see the wonder and awe of the children at seeing a movie camera there is a certain sadness to it.
It is just eyeopening how much leaner and fitter folks were back then. Even the folks of leisure and the bourgeoisie were much trimmer than nowadays. Sure goes to show how life without Mcdonalds and Netflix did wonders for a person's constitution. No one walking around in their pajama bottoms or appearing generally unkempt either. They can keep their ww1 tho. Love this channel.
We are a degenerate society of ignorant, graceless, slobbed- out ingrates.
I'm surprised how civilised this was.
Beautiful
Perhaps you can add a pinned comment with the questions that come up every time.
Explaining how film worked, why often the movies were at the wrong speed after the switch to 24 fps from 16-28 fps, that sound existed in phonographs but no synch sound so all is added by you, etc
amazing, 104 yrs ago & so interesting, especially with the colorization; however, this retreat was just Act I, with Act II to follow 22 yrs later☹️🇺🇸
@ELIE KOPTER ur exactly right, thanks!🤓🇺🇸
Great video find. Experts can correct me, but it looks like there is an American or Canadian keeping the crowd back. If he is American he's adopted the British overseas cap, the way man doughboys did. I imagine he is going to be part of the Army of Occupation. Since words in the shop windows are in French, but one of the policemen seems to have on a leather cap, perhaps this is near the French/German border? Too bad about how loud the piano music is--why put in the sound of horses' hooves if you can barely hear them--but this is nonetheless a terrific video. Thanks loads. I love it.
* It brought tears to my eyes, considering the current resumption of war in Europe, not against some people or countries in particular, but out of compassion for humanity in general.
* Cela m'a fait monter les larmes aux yeux, compte tenu de la reprise actuelle de la guerre en Europe, non pas contre certaines personnes ou certains pays en particulier, mais par compassion pour l'humanité en général.
* Trouxe-me lágrimas aos olhos, levando-se em conta atual retomada da guerra na Europa, não contra algumas pessoas ou países em particular, mas de compaixão pela humanidade em geral.
j'avoue, c'était émouvant. Les personnes du passé, le contexte du passé, avec notre vue actuelle, les évenements, nous passons aussi par là ou ils sont passés. Il y'a une épitaphe anonyme qui disait "Par ou tu passes, je suis passé, comme toi vivant j'ai été, comme moi mort tu sera" Et c'est tellement frappant en regardant le passé par ces vidéos.
So beautiful wish i had a time travel 🧭 machine… to leave this modern era dump.. 2022 💯💯✌🏻
People just make the same mistakes over and over...even today.
You have to realize that usually wars aren't made just for some land or fun, there are always enemies, no one can rest when theres financial, aristocratic and political enemies in all nations, against all nations, against each other.
that second kid at 1:07 went from having a big smile on his face to thinking to himself "what the hell is that thing?" when his pal pointed out the camera to him lol
Most had never seen a movie camera before.
まだ、馬車ですね。何かゆったりと時間が過ぎる感じが良いな。
Just before the end it shows a group of Soldiers and it looked like an officer was getting on their case, wondering what they did wrong.
Also noticed the look on one of the Soldiers face, looked like the "Thousand Yard Stare"
One page of the human history, but all witnesses are gone a long time ago, and only this film remembers it.
Those kids could very well be alive who knows maybe one of these soldiers aswell and doesn't have a way to proof his age. It is all speculation but in theory possible!
@@kelvinsurname7051 No.
Kelvin, I am absolutely certain that none of those people….even the children are no longer here today. They would have to be, at least, over a hundred years old today….unlikely that anyone in that film are still here. Most of the WWII veterans are just about gone. There are only a hand full left.
@@penelopelopez8296 the oldest 'verified person' alive is 119 and could be theory the mother of world war 2 veteran. It is sad that the greatest generation is dying. Some World war 2 veterans are extremely healthy!
The last Great War veteran, Englishman Harry Patch, passed in 2009.
1:06 - Little did those kids know that people would be watching this same footage over 100 years later.
Goodbye thank you for the memories!
Так страшно- они не вернутся назад! А люди; смеются! Плакать надо!
As some of their kids say "we'll be back".....and then leave again
gerçekten de müthiş bir video sanki zaman makinesiyle yolculuk yapmış gibi
Is it just me or do you guys too want to live in this bygone era?
Hats off to the scientific revolution and the invention of cameras that we can see and feel our past!🥰
Actually this was a better time to live when one considers the lunatic we have today who wants to conquer all of Europe, starting with Ukraine.
Fun to see those [then] kids at 1:06. Gone now, just like the rest, no doubt.
War is insane
Two things stood out for me.
That girl in the black dress with the pony tail at the beginning was a heart breaker within a year or two.
And wouldn’t you know it, the first American soldier I see at 5:35 is chewing gum. LOL!
I'm surprised that the german soldier knows english, or the american soldier knows german.
While everyone is distracted with the camera, some guy on a horse pulls out his smartphone and makes a call.
Would you be willing to do any combat footage of The Great War. I would love to see it
There wasn’t much to see. Just a whole lot of men in wet, disgusting trenches shooting at each other.
Only one known example of filmed combat in the Great War
Does anyone know what camera is being used in this video? Because the people in these videos are always staring at the camera and I'm curious to see what they're staring at.
It's difficult to see properly, but in that last section I was wondering if those are those US Army officers with their backs to the camera talking to the two German officers? Their uniforms are covered by coats but their caps and the high neck collars you can just see when that middle guy turns around appear to be American. Anybody?
yes.look American
What a beautiful video. Where are their rifles though? I know there's an Armistice but there's a field gun at 2:08 so that's got to mean they didn't have to give up their arms.
Hitler later in his propaganda used that as an argument that Germany wasn't beaten in ww1 but lost everything by traitors. Of cause this is a complete madman's view ignoring the fact German army and sources was beaten in any manner in November 1918. The Kaiser had the understanding to accept that status but not doing total war like the insane nazis did.
They are all hoping that such a tragedy never repeats yet here we are again in the verge
😊👍
There is a meager possibility that some of the kids seen on the footage may be still alive today in their nearly 110's.
That must've been a long journey home.
Depending on how far would they get back into, with some losing their entire estates to new nations
Tell that to the horses who had to pull and carry all those soldiers.
They really liked their hats
The closest to Time Machine ⏳⏳⌛
You can see how sore the horses were walking 😔
Yes, and they were not properly shod or shod at all. Poor things…..it’s really sickening.
It's so sad that almost everyone in the world from those days is dead or in their final days. :(
My mum grew up without any grandfathers.only discovered recently
is this AI enhanced? - love the stiff collars.
We will be back few years later

That would definitely be a good idea, as with the 1919 Peace Day parade. But you sound like you’re giving an order rather than submitting a request!
Amazing. 104 year ago
This was over one hundred years ago. All these people are now long dead. Life is incredibly short. Like most of these people, in a hundred years from now, we will all be dead and forgotten.
wow...freaky...thought provoking
Nagyon érdekes felvétel. 4évi öldöklés után egyszer csak vége lett. Mint ha egy gyakorlatról térnének haza.. Egyszerűen össze pakoltak , elmentek. Vajon mi járhatott a katonák fejében ennyi öldöklés után. Öröm, hogy túl éltek, félelem a jövőtől? Sajnos már nem fogjuk megtudni. Még csoda,hogy francia lakosság nem ment nekik.
It's a french city, i Can read "hôtel brasseur" "tissu anglais français"
Yes, that's what "retreats from *France* " implies
💖
The crowd is telling the German soldiers "We'll see you in 20 years."
0:55
It's not France instead it's Luxembourg.
You see the Hotel Brasseur and Hotel Continental (incl. Restaurant Continental).
KR
The Army that returned to Germany was an UNDEFEATED Army. When the war ended they were STILL on foreign (not German) soil that they had conquered and ruled for years. To return home to a Germany that was in chaos and in the midst of a civil war stunned and enraged them. Then when the terms of the “Treaty of Versailles” was released and they read the “War Guilt” Clause….that was simply unacceptable.
Don't be an incel Wehraboo.
👍😊
Would like to see who the Camera man was with his Camera
What we see here is the huge vacuum of uncertainty. Ordinary people trying to get their heads around a Europe without mass conflict.
Then the following year comes Versailles, the clock is re-wound, and the countdown begins again...
It's as well we can't see into our futures.
5:28... some weird eye blinking before photoshop ..can anyone help with that?
Germany didn't lose the fight on the field. The politicians lost the war for Germany.
Eh they did lose lmao
@@epicfish8134 no they did not lose in WW1. That's why everyone was shocked about Versailles. When they signed the armistice the Germans were still on French soil and the war was never on German ground. But they would have lost anyways after the US joined with all the manpower and resources.
@@apfelschorle1988 _"When they signed the armistice the Germans were still on French soil and the war was never on German ground"_
Do you realise how absurd what you say is? You don't determine a defeat based on where the army is when signing an armistice but when an army fails to reach the initial goal of the attack and/or when you're not in a strong position to negotiate peace. Following you, the US didn't lose the war in Afghanistan because they were still in the country when negotiating peace and the war never was on the US soil.
No. I think between the British blockades of the German ports, the exhaustion of the armed forces, and the emergence of the Americans on the field…no matter how inexperienced, the war was over for the Germans.
My grandfather was a dapper in the British 5th Army, 30th Division. The war diary of the unit describes the utter chaos of the retreat during the German March 1918 offensive. In May 1918, the diary describes the work they have been doing near the coast to build a camp for Americans. « Thus far, 500 latrines. » Very laconic remark. What it means is, « We are going home at Christmas ».
Not dapper, but sapper. On parade, doubtless both.
I wonder what street that was
Hard to believe that every breathing creature in this film has been dead for decades now, just like we will be eventually.
Most of them had normal similar life with us if you include the war , they had their own stories , loves , successes and failures , illnesses and ultimately death , they are all dead and you watching someone's time frame from the past stuck in the eternity , they would never guess that the future people will watch their moment from "smartphones"
