I went to the USMC Museum and saw this playing in the WWI/Battle of Belleau Wood exhibit, the exhibit was amazing and the area where they had this playing kinda felt like you were actually in Belleau Wood because of the way the sound was set up.
You had to have balls of titanium to literally run across a field and have about a 5% chance of actually making it over. The soldiers in ww1 were brave men
I know it takes guts but its probably better if they do it on night while walking low at halfway then go down and starts to crawl slowly and silently until they are near or discovered then throw away grenades and mortars like crazy before charging with fixed bayonets or blasting away with shotguns.
My grandfather was in the British army during WW1, he was gassed but managed to survive the war, but died in his late thirties from the effects of being gassed which severely damaged his lungs. There must have been millions of men who died at an early age from being wounded in this terrible war. God rest their souls.
Our family has a long service history with the Royal Marines. My great grandfather enlisted in 1880 and ended as CSM having fought mainly in Asia. My grandfather served in WW1until he was transferred (against his wishes) the newly formed Machine Gun Corps. My father was in 47 Commando that landed on Gold Beach on DDay. He was later shot and had to be evacuated. Now we have a son serving in the same Corps, RM Commando. Very proud of each and every one. I’m sure that you will never find the exact origin of ‘do you wan to live forever’. My grandfather told me that it was heard in his day and struck fear and courage into everyone of them - along with the order to ‘fix bayonets’ because it meant a particularly fierce fight was coming. It doesn’t matter. I have nothing but total admiration for those who said it or reacted to it. I think of all of the dead; lives lost far too early; loved ones left alone; futures thrown away. No matter which side. And then I think of the politicians and the General Staff who were so keen to use men as as if they were pawns in a chess game.
First time I saw the clip I was (no pun) blown away. Lol, then someone elsewhere pointed out the battle sound FX were Private Ryan battle sounds. The clip's never hit me the same way ever since. Damn shame someone couldn't spring for original battle sound FX. It would've made the clip just so epic.
My ×2 (or maybe ×3) great grandfather was a fought at Belleau Wood. He survived WW1 and lived a long, healthy life afterwards. That's about all I know from hearing other relatives talk about him. My family still has his service records so that's something I'll have to dig up and look at in the future.
My grandfather fought in this battle. Was decorated for gallantry in action. He also fought in Soissons and Chateau Terrary (sp?). Find and read the book “Through the Wheat”. It was written by a squad mate of his. The work is described as historical fiction, but everything in the book actually took place. The names were changed and deeds done by one character may have been done by more than one person, but they all happened to men in his unit. The falling tree branch incident killed the man laying right next to my granddad.
+Steven Antony My grandfather also fought in the Battle of Belleau Wood. He was in the Marines 2nd Division and served under then Colonel Albertus Catlin. Grandpa was seriously wounded at Belleau Wood (shot in the head and lost an eye) and miraculously survived to eventually return home. Col. Catlin was also wounded in battle around that same time. Grandpa never hesitated to talk about the war and he frequently told my brother and I about Belleau Wood, the fighting and the many German soldiers he himself killed. Grandpa always said, "War is Hell". My brother, inspired by grandpa's stories, enlisted in the Marines as soon as he was able and went straight to Parris Island. When he finally left the military, he was a Commissioned Officer. Semper Fi!
My grandfather fought there as well. Was decorated for gallantry in action. He never spoke to me.about his service there. I had to hear of it from his brother when I was about ten years old. I remember playing with a spiked helmet and some leather belts when I was about six or seven, but granddad wanted me to put them up and out of sight. There was a book written by one of his squad mates. The characters in the book go by different names and what they went through was a compilation of what most of the squad went through. Granddad says it was totally accurate of what happened to them. If you ever get a chance read “Through the Wheat”.
Not to underscore the valor of these soldiers, but just to put things in perspective. Belleau Wood casualties 20000 soldiers (more or less 10000 on each side, 1800 american died, 8000 wounded). Verdun 700000 casualties (350000 on each side).
Time-Life series History of the United States published in 1963 has an impressive illustrated battle scene of Belleau Wood. Can anyone else recall it? Very gripping!
And their actions earned them the name "Teufel Hunden" german for hell hound or Devil Dog. A name that a good friend that I consider a brother wears proud to this day. Semper Fi brother
@@noblepower1813 Journalist H. L. Mencken wrote in 1921 that the term "devil dogs" was the invention of an American war correspondent 6 weeks before the Battle of Belleau Wood even began
It amazes me how many professional historians, armorers, military strategists, General officers, film directors, gaffers and USMC experts have offered comments here.
Imagine that. Inexperienced US Marines not getting bogged down in 4 years of stalemate like European Armies had, and earning the nickname “Teufelhunden” in the process. The Germans admitted to not being used to this aggressive new style of warfare.
Bullshit the devil dog name is a fiction it's made up. The Germans called them no such thing & as for the rest of the comment, smh. It's just delusional.
MartianProductions Running is better than walking into machine gun fire, in parade formation, in a open field, with blue coats and red pants.... Aug 22 1914 26,000 French KIA, in one day
Maybe he knew my Great Grandfather who was there too, as a Lt. Colonel in command of an artillery unit. He also survived but apparently saw some bad stuff which he would not talk about when he returned stateside.
I can’t imagine the mindset those men had crossing an open field like that. I guess you have to have tunnel vision, in that you block everything out but getting to the other side. Much respect to those Leathernecks!!
There was a 3 episode deal on Netflix on ww1 I believe (Canadian Netflix) 1 was a tank crew, other was about a defensive point with Australian and usa crews at the start of the war and how no one was taking it too serious at the start, and then another one also but can’t remember. Can’t remember the name and it’s gone off Netflix , but was really really good! If anyone knows please let us know
This battle is were a lot of marine lore came from. For example the quotes "retreat hell we just got here" and "Come on sons of bitches do you want to live forever" were said st this battle. This battle is were the marines got the nickname devil dogs
Funk Enstein Tbh the level of fear and the 90% you would be killed would be enough to scare the toughest sob. Any battles before D Day and the D Day Beach Landings wouldve been the worst battles to be an infantryman.

were we inconveniently inexperienced when we first arrived in France in 1918? I'm just assuming since we didn't declare war til 1917, and didn't get to the actual fighting til 1918, during the Kaisershlacht campaign in the spring.
I saw a lot of shotguns in this scene. I guess the marines loved shotguns. Great for close combat, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable going into battle without a rifle.
I own several 12 gauge shotguns, I still stand by my statement lol. If I were in battle, I would rather have a 30-06 rifle. But it would be cool to have a short 1897 Winchester shotgun strapped to my back for when I actually got to the German trench.
well the Marines actually didn't know how many Germans were in the wood and sent the entire 5th Marine regiment into the woods on line in close order drill similar to the civil war...the Germans didn't even start shooting at them until they were 500 meters out and then the Marines went every man for themselves to get into the wood...after that they formed little maneuver teams to take individual guns using hand to hand combat...this is where the devil dog names came from because the Germans had not seen this from anyone else...they did the same thing at Soissons. the 6th regiment went around the wood to take Bocourage (spelling?). The famous book "I will hold" is a great book on the battle taken from the diary excerpts of a lieutenant there.
Back in the days when America acted with integrity an allies actually meant more than nations to be manipulated and treated like shit............ How times have changed.
Most of the combatant nations fielded well trained, volunteer armies at the beginning of the war but as the thing dragged on and bogged down into a trench warfare, meatgrinder of a stalemate, the quality of the soldiers dropped steadily. By the end men were being rushed to the front with only the most basic training.

Interesting choice to use (1998) Saving Private Ryan for the sound effects and war sounds.
Ruined it for me
The audio was too familiar for me as well, they had us in the first half
Interesting to me they had the crossed rifles on the rank patches, since that didn't come along until way after WW2.
