A really excellent and very informative video, thank you. As user-nb4 (etc) mentioned you omitted the effect of the Boer War. It was that, not machine guns which caused the change to kaki. With Boer 'Kommando' guerrilla. actions the red coats stood out like sore thumbs and were easily picked off. No longer was it a matter of a march-in-line against a march-in-line type of warfare where colours helped discriminate which side you were on. That was a significant pivotal point which you unfortunately missed out on an otherwise superb video.
There was a time when the airport ramps were covered in camo nets, which hid aircraft, but it also lowered the surface temperature. When the war ended, and the nets came down, no one remembered the temperature lowering effect, to the detriment of the area.
@@HistoryWarfareNow123 There is many things we are not privy to when it comes to what we do and how it affects the Earth. When 09/11/01 happened, the average temperature went up two degrees very quickly. When all of the commercial flights were grounded, the contrails produced by those flights reflected heat from the sun, back into space. Without the contrails, the heat reached the surface, and caused it to rise. It seems when humans do something, the net result is to lower the temperature, except for a few things, coating the surface of the planet with huge ribbons of black asphalt, which threw the planet into spiraling temperature rising, and shutting down air travel, which allowed heat to reach the surface. If humans were to paint the roads white, or better, cover them with trees, the temperature would fall, but for rapid effect, we could throw up those cargo camo nets used in the 1940s to lower the temperatures back down. But do we really want to trigger another ice age?
starts off with a false claim early on -- by saying Albert ? Fayer ? is the "father" of camouflage! If they said he is the father of "modern camoflage", that would at least be a plausible yet unproven statement. However, I am quite certain that humans have been using various forms of camouflage from the very earliest time there was a need for it whether for hunting or warfare between humans. It may have been crude forms, but a person hiding in a clump of trees is camouflage. The first definition found on a internet search is: "The concealing of personnel or equipment from an enemy by making them appear to be part of the natural surroundings."
Unwatchable due to the background music. Do you think the human weeds who need background music to prevent them from ever having to think, will be watching documentaries? I think not........
Yeah I think it's pretty annoying. Still doesn't really hold a candle to the insidious video editing that's spread all over youtube. Specially formulated to hijack the viewers attention. Always something moving or flashing or zooming. Hopefully at some point people realize how badly they're being manipulated and start getting angry because I can't stand it.
Not a bad doco', (lose the tunes) but I can't fathom an Aussie production on camo' would miss showcasing a unique and bold contribution to that art -the "Jellybean Pyjamas" This Psy-Ops own goal was inflicted on Soldiers at the end of last century. The missed opportunity as I see it: Starting where the camofleur boffin in lab-ish room points out to camera that if a uniform is too hideous, then personnel won't want to use it. Next shot a street scene pans to reveal a pair of young diggers resplendent in bad skinhead cuts, ill-fitting DPCU and mustard boots trying to chat up some disdainful young ladies whilst Nirvana tune plays (discretely) in the background. Zoom to despondent, embarrassed face of one of the young men. Easily heard over the music is the Narrator: "This apprentice of the martial profession is now realising a cruel fact -The nature of patriotic sacrifice takes many forms..." The shot is slowly obscured by the terror inspiring pattern of hearts and bunnies in baby diarrheal brown and various other colours the garment company got cheap, as the grunge music takes a mournful tone becoming even quieter. Fade to black as we just make out the sound of teenage girls giggling. Some days you'd have given anything for that invisibility cloak.
It's a tv documentary. I don't know what you think they should've done about it. But now that you've told the world how you feel, want a lollipop or something? I know I shouldn't make fun of mentally ill but seriously, how does your brain work??
I put a dazzle scheme over the rear and roof of my car. The sides and hood are next..... What else can one do with an all-white and very bland econobox?
Having studied art at college and being very interested in military history is a fantastic documentary....many thanks for uploading
You're welcome! We're glad we can share these interests with you.
That one's good! Great job
Thank you!
Also, I agree with others who say there is no need for the added music -- particularly loud and obnoxious!
Excellent, thank you.
You're welcome!

Thank you! We're glad you were still able to enjoy it.
The Picts of Britain and the Germanic Tribes during Imperial Roman times also used camouflage .
Dazzeling! I like this.
We're so glad to hear that.
Private!!!
Yus Sir?
I didn't see you in Camouflage class yesterday...well done.
😅
Pity I couldn’t see it. Well done!
😅
My Father's ship USS Biscayne was painted in dazel and fought in 5 D Days. She never got a scratch.
Wow!
You forgot to mention the Boer war, when uniforms became khaki to blend with the veldt.
Thank you for pointing this out! We appreciate the feedback.
it was one of the first time by western forces
in some indegionious people it was also part of the hunts etc
All British troops in the Boer War wore Khaki. Khaki was the norm outside Britain by the time of the Sudan War.

This is fascinating.

Strange, but interesting !
We can appreciate this take!
End war!

Didn’t mention the British rifles regiment from napoleonic wars green jackets

Listen up, dorks. Listen to it through a decent set of speakers and not your fucking Razer gaming headsets. Sounds fine to me.

They were red coats because it was the cheapest colour....fact!
@4:30 bubbles dad haha
Imagine being the 50yr old pencil pusher who pushed the loud ass music. Ruined the whole ambience
Interesting video!
Thank you for saying so!
Ruined the whole video with the loud terrible music

Unwatchable with all that fucking 'music' banging away !
Why do you blur your narrator's spiel with idiotic noise,,, any noise? I can't listen to videos like this.

I'm not sure Gernika would recognize itself as being part of "the Mediterranean Area"...
Worthless waste of time.
I put a dazzle scheme over the rear and roof of my car. The sides and hood are next.....
