9 Year Old Corporal
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 кві 2022
- In August 1914 Momčilo Gavrić was orphaned at 8 years old and was adopted by unit that took revenge for the loss of his family. Assisting the troops during battle he was unflinching in his bravery and was promoted to Corporal at the age of just 9 years old. He fought in the great war and saw action in WW2 once again fighting the Germans and remained defiant even after his capture. An incredible story of bravery, friendship and duty.

I already know it will be
I love your videos
Yes sir!
great videos you make
your videos are always great
To add to video - he survived the slaughter of his family solely because his dad sent him to uncle to borrow a cart. According to what his son said, he was haunted by the image of his family being hanged (mother, father, four sisters and grandma) and his house burnt to the ground to the end of his days. The murderers were from Austro-Hungarian 42nd Home Guard Infantry Division, also nicknamed "Devil's Division" for their horrible crimes.
Damn... even though the division mainly had croatian soldiers the fact that the army of my predecessors allowed such a war criminal regiment to exist saddens me.
Fun fact Josip Broz Tito was in that division and he was the man who led the Yugoslav partizans in WW2 who broke him out

@@mauroancic1254 Do not forget that monster was treating Serbs as if they were occupied. In the years after the War, his commies killed almost all the remaining intellectuals, doctors, engineers, lawyers, clergymen and teachers and stole their property. Scars still have not healed.
@@mauroancic1254 Woah that is a very cool fact
Living in America, many, many stories about men and women, serving in the wars of Europe, are not told in America and the the heroism of them are inspiring. Thank you for their stories.

Because teaching real history is indoctrination or smthn smh idk, at least if there’s a non-white involved
Believe me, i live in Belgium and these stories are also not told to us.
History isn’t taught to anyone anymore or in reality probably has never been taught, you get a snippet.
Bro no war stories are told pretty much anywhere unless you are doing it in your free time or with a friend/relative who was in war.
Schools only teach about the causes of wars and social issues/solutions in history.
It's especially touching how he insisted not to leave his care taker on the mountain, and thus in return saved his care taker!
The fact that there is none Wikipedia or any information about his caretaker milosh mishovich is an insult
Many in the Soviet don't have there names@@GeraltTheMaceman

One important thing he also was part of "Solunski" front that brought the end of WW1, so basically he was from the very beginning of WW1 to the very end of WW1.
There's a excellent Serbian movie depicting real historical figures "King Peter the First" or "Kralj Petar Prvi", of course film is about King Peter but also one of the main characters is Momčilo Gavrić and tells his and entire Serbian infantry story from the beginning to the Crete, later Serbia rejoined the war and fought along side French and sometimes British to reclaim all of Balkan.
Thank you. I will try to find this.

No joke, the first second of the video I thought 'huh this looks like real trees, did they do like a live action part in it?' then I realized the animation was just so damn good. It's amazing to keep seeing the quality progress!
I thought the same thing!

This story kinda reminds me of the story of, Sergei Aleshkov. He was a six-year-old orphan who was rescued by a Red Army unit (142nd Guards Rifle Regiment of the 47th Guards Rifle Division) and would not only be adopted by the unit's commander, Commander Kutzenov, but would become part of the regiment.
Is he still alive?
@@xhg7a no
He died of a heart attack
@@shermantankstudios9086 at 50 if I remember correctly
And is also known as the youngest soldier to fight in war
Momčilo Gavrić (Serbian Cyrillic: Момчило Гаврић; 1 May 1906 - 28 April 1993) was the youngest known soldier ever and youngest Serbian soldier, he became a soldier at the age of eight.
How about that russian soldier from ww2 he fight the war at age 6
@@aryandrasetiawan5386 yep i know that to
So If the dates are true than he saw Yugoslavia Rise and fall
@@aryandrasetiawan5386 lil russian boy was in wwII,lil serbian boy is from wwI...30 yrs earlier
@@fuxk_your_life yeah i know what im trying to say is that he say the youngest known Soldier ever but what i say contradict this the one im saying indeed came from ww2 but he is 6
bro survived the first world war. second world war, prison camp and auschwitz. what a legend
Gotta be one of my favorite stories yet! That boy was a man since age 9. He survived too much to be held captive either, it would seem.
Let’s just apreciate that they actually got serbian voice actors for the voicelines
This brings a whole new meaning to “When I was your age…”
when the company requires at least 20 years of experience...
His family was more than "harmed", they were massacred by Austro Hungarian troops, like many others during the savage invasion and occupation of Serbia.
I encourage anyone interested in WW1 history to read about Momčilo Gavrilivić, story is way longer and obviously cant fit in a short video, but im really glad this story is covered, hopefully it sparks some interest for "forgotten" front of WW1.
And i would also recommend reading about retreat of Serbian army and civilians across the Albanian mountains. Its an incredible story of struggle for survival. Never before or since has something like that happened. It was such an incredible feat that survivors who managed to return alive to Serbia received an award called "Albanska spomenica".
There is a monument built in city of Loznica, it belongs to our boy, Momčilo.
Thank you Yarnhub for keeping the memory of Momčilo Gavrilović alive.
Živela Srbija!
It might interest you to know that the Swedish metal band wrote the song "Last Dying Breath", commemmorating the defence of Belgrade. No idea if it's your type of music but still, the world remembers!
I belived his family was hanged
The word "harmed" is probably used to avoid YT censors.
Do not place this on the shoulders of the Empire, this was a Croatian Division, this was nothing but the ethnic horrors of the region, many will twist this into Austrian crimes and horrors,
Austria, btw never apologized for the atrocities committed during WW1 till today. Nothing in this regard is taught in Austrian schools.
This kid was so much braver than many grown men at the time. Serious respect to him for going through that kind of life 07 (that's a salute btw)
Yarnhub the animation quality that y'all have accomplished is amazing. What's next? Live reenactments with actual people? When are we going to see Yarnhub time travel and just interview the people in real time. Astounding work. Keep up the amazing stories
Good video, there is also a funny story about his recalling to royal yugoslav army: when he recieved a call, he was still young, and he joked that he was already in the war, and they didnt believe him and he was put in prison, only later the older officers who knew him said to guards that he was actually talking a truth, and he still fought in ww2, as mentioned in video. I heard this story from my history teacher, but I cant replicate the way he told it to my class, he really knew to talk stories.
in April 1941 he 35 year old. Is that still young?!
@@danieljani7981 well, not that young, but he was in his thirties, best years acording for people. And pretty young to tell that he was already in war.
@@andrijasaviccsavic1124 okay. Can be understood. I see what you mean.
As Serb I gota tell you I am proud of you and Momčilo. My hart is warm when I watch videos like these.
Kepp good work up!
This reminds me of one of the last American WW1 veterans I met when traveling through West Virginia. Lied about his age and joined at 12, got into Artillery and served with distinction. Became a construction contractor, and was captured by the Japanese in the pacific at the outbreak of WW2 and survived all 4 years as a POW, and swore to never leave the US again after he came home.
What a life these people had, amazing honestly.
12! Jesus. The look of shock on anyone taller and more mature would’ve been huge
god dude people escaping nazi prisons manages to be common and still insanely badass, man fought in ww1 twice, not even 13, fought in WW2, helped resistance, and lived a peaceful life with his wife and children. balls bigger than apples
Balls bigger than basketballs
Balls bigger than Jupiter
"I'm the captain of our school's football, what makes you so special?"

my guy became a soldier at 9 while i lay on my bed watching videos about world wars
it's not exactly a fair comparison either.
@@oliviersavard8676 True XD
Your videos are super entertaining and really do teach a lot about history, I never skip your videos at all! Keep it up and hopefully you can get 600k soon.
With these animations I’m surprised how you’re not at 1 million already. Good luck 👍
As a Serb, I really love this Yarnhub video. It takes a big difference from any other Yarnhub videos. Hell, even other videos from channels such as Extra History, Eastory, and so on can't compare with this single video. It takes a story that everybody knows and nobody has covered, goes into detail, and then release it to the public. Although some chunks were left out, this was top-notch. I really wish to see more historical videos focusing on Serbian history. But not just Serbian history, but other histories from other minor countries like the Czech Republic, Estonia, and many others! Besides that, great work Yarnhub. Hope you reach 1,000,000 subscribers before 2024.
Awesome a 9 year old soldier even at this age being courgageous like that nice video to know more on history and thing like this great job
Vasilevna: "I salute you, one legend to another."
Gavric: *tips soldier's hat in appreciation*
Small context:
Mariya Vasilyevna Oktyabrskaya was a Soviet tank commander (T-34 medium) who joined the army to avenge her husband's death in Barbarossa. She served the Red Army valiantly until dying from injuries in 1944 while trying to fix the 34's track.
Gavric took his revenge too, and never gave up. I feel the two would find the other quite amiable to talk with.
I believe they made a video on her aswell
@@roadtrain_ They did.

Sabaton, if you are watching... you know what you must do.
oh yes
Potential lyrics:
A 9 year old came to us
Alone abandon
His cries for help
Of war and famine
I've seen the picture of real Gavric. Your animations are really world class.
this is a great Video! I would like to see more about the "forgotten" heroes of the great war ;)
For a second, I thought this is the story of Sergei. After he's village got burned down after helping Russian partisans, the boy was found in a forest covered in scabs and bug bites. After the Russian scouts found him and take him into the regiment, when he was 3 or 5 years old when he joined. He did a lot of things like finding German artillery spotters inside a pile of hay, helping his adopted father who is commander of the regiment survive a couple times getting buried by artillery explosion, carried machine gun ammo to the machine gunners and many more. He was the mascot of the regiment, he even requested a child officers uniform and a custom rank was made named Junior Officer. This uniform almost got him killed when one time, a German bi-plane mistaken Sergei as an officer and shot in the leg. Another time, he was visited by a general that gave him a Browning pistol as a gift. He's adopted father would also marry a nurse in the regiment that Sergei was really fond of.
Same!!!
Best kids ever
Wow, I got a stack of likes.
No words can describe the progress in the animation quality.
“significantly better” pretty much sums it up
A Good Video Before going to Sleep, Thanks YarnHub!
Dang it’s only 1:00pm here lol
@@nyxknight7555 heard of "siesta"? You should try it
He was the probably best grandfather because he could tell stories about both world wars, POW camp imprisonment, and Concentration camp imprisonment, and survived it all
4:40 Greeks only joined the war in 1917, even though since 1915. both sides egregiously violated their neutrality. The Entente armies on the Macedonian front alongside whom the Serbian Army fought in 1916 were French, British, Italian and Russian. By 1918. the British and the French had some of their colonial units from India, Senegal and Indochina, on the Macedonian front although I am not sure if any of them were there as early as 1916.
God bless Serbia!🇷🇸
Finally someone is talking about Momcilo Gavric, i am so happy about that. He more than deserves it. Вечна ти слава Момчило.
The ”It's (Date), (Year)" Never gets old.
A brave soul who faced the austrians and the german huns without any confusion.
Three cheers for the brave boy 🇷🇸🇷🇸
Amazing how one man can fight in two of the greatest and most tragic wars ever. Thank you for his story.
Fascinating story, extremely well told with excellent graphics. Congrats on another masterpiece
:( Such a sad but interesting story. He is like Tintin, a brave soul. I think he lived a great life
Yes, but this kid was real. Like a certain great lady we have just lost, they don't make people like that any more. (More's the pity.)
Another Great Animation, You guys never cease to amaze me
Потрясающая история,хороший человек ,который много пережил,судьба его хранила ,хотя он не прятался от смерти .Сербы наши братья ,единственные кто не прогнулся перед немцами ...
Wow. This video was absolutely amazing. Too bad he didn’t meet with his army caretaker after. Has anyone made a movie in this? This is absolutely movie worthy.
I have heard this story before, but never in such detail. Please keep the amazing vids coming.🙏👍🙏
This is so awesome and inspirational although only 100+ and not many years ago in the grand scheme, this could never happen today in this retched world.
Dammit Yarnhub, every story you tell moves me near to tears. Keep doing what you do so well!
Once a soldier, always a soldier.
Amazing... This would be a incredible movie if done right.. Thanks for this
This Is The Best Story Yet I'm Literally Crying While I'm Watching The Video I Love It I Want More. thanks Yarnhub Big Fan.
Small in stature, a giant when it came to heart and courage.
He lived the rest of his life like a true hero deserves❤ may he rest in peace
refreshed youtube, immediately clicked on the yarnhub video without even reading.
because thats what i should do to experience this godly channel
me too
When Yarnhub hits 1 million they should do a QNA video with all the Yarnhub animators and writers like a podcast on a stream
This is the best story I've heard ever
I am glad to hear that our heroes are honored around the world by making great videos like this
Thank you
I am a serb and I can say that this is all true
Thank you so much for this video big thanks from Serbia i love your channel.
The animations especially of the trees were so realistic. Your content are getting better and better.
Thaks yarnhoub for representing my countary and for the work you put into theese
Amazing video, He was a true warrior throughout his whole life.
An interesting story and the animation is getting smoother and smoother, good job YarnHub team👍👍👍
Wow I never thought that animated stories could get any better
Thanks for the videos best quality never seen this much hard work making history videos then any other history videos on UA-cam!
Another story of a young soldier that would like to see yarnhub do is James Charles Martin he was the youngest Australian known to have died in World War I. He was only 14 years and nine months old when he succumbed to typhoid during the Gallipoli campaign. He was one of 20 Australian soldiers under the age of 18 known to have died in World War I.
O prvom svetskom ratu sam krenuo da učim pre dve godine,hvala ti što si me podsetio o Momčilu Gavriću, on je bio jedan od naših najvećih ličnosti tokom prvog svetskog rata.

(Translate from Serbian to English)
Brilliantly told and illustrated. A truly great story of endurance, humanity and love, and pure, straightforward simple guts. I know next to nothing about events on the Eastern Front but am very glad to have watched this film. Thanks.
Could you do one from "Soldier boy" the russian 6 year old soldier in WW2?
Poor child but he got something from them and that’s hope and courage to fight the enemy.
I’m so happy to hear he was able to escape the concetration camp and lived with family he trully deserved it.
5:51 My eyes watered on finding out he had brothers to come home to.
Great story.
While you're in that area of the world, you should also check out Milunka Savic.
I agree as Sabaton is actually made a song about her
Can you provide a brief summary about this person… I want to have some context on who she is
I love this video because i am Serbian and when i see somebody talk about out great history and our heroes like Momčilo Gavrić, thank you guys for this awesome video!
Im a Serbian and i know this.There is a Serbian movie called ,,Kralj Petar prvi"❤
Hello from Detroit Michigan USA Great video Brother thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and for taking us on your adventure through time and space
Respect to this kid, he literally joined the military just to get some sweet revenge for his family, I love this.
Chief : WHAT IS THIS 9 YEAR OLD DOING HERE?
Other soldiers : Child Labor.
Wow, an amazing story.
That child was so brave
You should also cover the similar story of Sergei Aleshkov, he was rescued by a Red Army unit when 6 years old at the time, and ended up being adopted by the unit's commander. He is considered probably one of the youngest soldiers in ww2.
the fact that those guys weren't bandits and literally actual military with training just shows the skill of milosh
Inspiring and moving, is unavoidable to think, what a precious life he lived
Incredible story so glad he made it through all thet.
Great video. Y’all do amazing work with these stories and animations
Thanks for adding serbia and yugoslavia again,love from serbia❤
9 years old boy bravery fighting war because his family lost his life and after fight promote into corporal man Wow wonderful animation 👌 narration of historical story of Little boy who fight the enemy
Animations get better and better every video. So underrated.
This looks so realistic. I love the content. You guys are really setting the new bar!
Another great story that nearly brought me to tears.
Mad respect for respecting the names and saying them correctly.
this guy, fought in both WW1 and WW2 still survived to see modern tech???
they were crossing Albania by walking over mountains entire Serbian army with people that fallowed them, also the king Petar his son and entire government were going with them. It was extremely cold winter some local Albanians helped them and some were waiting for soldiers to die so they can steal their weapons, sometimes Albanians attacked smaller groups lost behind. And the biggest problem was food, they were starving they were walking from one to three months, from around 300 000 Serbs that went over Albania only around less than 200 000 survived.
And the point is they didn't want to surrender at any cost because they knew what was done to the prisoners
Just incredible!!! I can't get enough.. I've watch almost all your videos now, yet you still surprise me with almost everyone of them. Keep on keepin on!
Wow, even better quality!
Bro wdym

This has got to be the greatest story i ever heard, im subscribing
Momchilo Gavrich was one of those people of whom it was written in the cards that he was meant to be a survivor. Only death by old age could claim him.
