    Hi, French viewer here and I love your videos.
    The Jean-Pierre Danner character is from Kolmar (now Colmar) in Alsace. The départements of Alsace (Haut- and Bas-Rhin with the exception of Belfort) and Moselle were taken from France during the 1870-1871 Franco-Prussian war. Because of the Kulturkampf, Alsaciens sometimes defected to the French side and they were later affected to the Russian front.
    Also the pickelhaube started being made of metal sheets in 1915 due to leather shortage in Germany.
    The game seems very inspired by All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque.

    Many would misunderstand if I said that I think the First World War was worse. By this I am simply referring to the way such wars were fought. This was the time when old tactics slowly merged with new tactics, such as storm attacks that could then turn into close combat, cavalry attacks that were completely ripped apart by the new machine guns, the constant fear in the Trenches of being surprised by a grenade, gas attacks and the introduction of new military equipment and weapons like flamethrowers and the first tanks. When you consider that the French and we once played football (americans call it soccer) against each other on public holidays, even though we ripped each other's asses off both before and after, that's the only humor in it.

  • @cornfield755
    @cornfield755 12 днів тому

    What are your sources for stating that German troops were regularly rotated out of the front? While I know this became routine for British and French troops, I have not seen many claims regarding the other side. In fact, quite the opposite - at Verdun, Falkenhayn believed the french (who began to rotate depleted units to the rear) were experiencing greater loses due to the appearance of these new divisions, whichbit was believed were replacing destroyed units. The Germans, in contrast, would be kept at the front for longer, with smaller units rolled into others when fighting effectiveness requited it.
    True, this is comparing operations during a major battle to day-to-day routine, but still if does suggest a wider difference in mindset. It is also the case that when german divisions needed a rest or re-equip, they would likely be posted to quieter sections, such as around Cambrai.
    WWI is not my specialism, so any further information or corrections from those in the know is appreciated, particularly regarding my opening question.

    • @TheHistoryGuy
      @TheHistoryGuy  12 днів тому +1

      You're not talking about the same thing as I am. You're talking about the rotation of units. I'm talking about the rotation of men. At any given time, the majority of a regiment or division was not on the front lines. Men would be rotated within those units. So while a division might spend months at a time on the front, the men within those divisions did not. German soldiers were rotated off the front line trench every 4 to 6 days.

      @TheHistoryGuy  9 днів тому

      For US forces it was about 50/50 between disease and combat deaths but that is because we joined so late (so the flu pandemic took a greater percentage of ours). For the other combatants disease was far less a killer than battle deaths.
