A group of women reenactors portrayed the group at the Rockford, Illinois WWI event. They did an excellent job! Their leader even was built like Maria.
Those Women volunteered to fight against foreign invaders to protect their land and culture. She fought and persisted her whole life and that is admirable.
if you die for your people you live for eternity in the hearts and minds of your nation. to die for your country is tragic but undeniably one of the most honourable ways to go
ahahaha 2 questions. did they protect their land or culture? protect from what? i suppose you know the origins of this war. maybe your comment should be like this: "those women were deceived by "sharks around power" and decided to protect those shark's interests on how to share a big piece of cake. naive you are so fu..king naive, me boy. best wishes ^)
Milk Pride World Wide you can't die for your country. because country is not yours (c) maybe you wanted to say "bla bla bla...to die for a country...."
-Shot every time Cadorna fails in a battle. -Double shot if it's in Izonzo. -Shot every time Falkenheyn argues with Hindemburg. -Shot every time Hotzendorff screws up a battle. -Shot every time Haig screws up a battle.
Hello Indi. If you want to talk more about women in WW1, check Ecaterina Teodoroiu in the Romanian Army. She's remembered as a hero. She enlisted with the military after her brother died in the battles along the Jiu Valley when the Central Powers were pushing through the Carpathians. She was drilled and even given command of a unit platoon size. Her story's quite interesting, really. You should check it out. If nothing else, because you are out of ideas for WHO DID WHAT.
No wonder the revolution later started to expand to Germany. A certain number of german soldiers would probably have been delighted for the women's battalion to seize their means of production.
I thought he used the background you're referring to only for the weekly main bit of the show and this one for extra stuff like "Who did what in WWI" etc.
A whole episode dedicated to people who can actually think for themselves and not be pushed to thier, and others' deaths by nationalism, racism and dumb "heroics"? Heresy! Treason!
Rick K No no no. If everyone evaded the draft the war wouldn't have started mate. I wouldn't have called them either cowards or heroes. Whatever reasons they had for objecting were their own, and this tribal attitude of 'dying for one's country is GREAT' only hurts our advancement away from the World Wars that claim tens of millions of lives.
+MRKapcer13 I agree. Tribal mentality still is the number one problem of the human species. However far we like to think we have come, we haven't really. Still drawing borders on maps pretending they mean anything, still fighting over resources instead of sharing, still killing one another over religion instead of letting go of primitive superstition. We're really just cavemen with fancy toys.
Hi Indy and crew. Thanks for the great war serie. Lots of pleasure learning about the war from a global point of view. I am french and love your work but I sometime get the feeling that France is a bit left over when it comes to the western front. Ive got the feeling some facts we are aware of here just dont figure in the weekly episodes. I guess every one has this feeling when it comes to is ow country. Sorry for my English. The point of all this is this : I've got a request : Could you please do a video about Albert Roche "The first soldier of France". He apparently captured 1180 (!!!!!) germans during the war being wounded 9 times and facing a firing squad during the mutenies following the 1917 Chemin des Dames. He survived the war and was quite famous at the time. Thanks again.
Hey Indy and crew, love the show! Could talk more about weapons that were hated or frowned upon by the soldiers, like the sawtooth knife? How commom was the use of those weapons and what happened to enemy soldiers captured with suck weapons? Keep up the good work!
I'm sorry this is an old comment. There kinda was, a Russian made film called Battlion made in 2015 covers the battalion as a whole. It's currently on Prime if your in the US.
I appreciate your fruitful attempts at expressing foreign names and words in something approaching the native pronounciation rather than adding a thick anglicized twist to them. You're doing very well for an englishspeaker! And your Swedish is not that bad either :) I'd be curious to hear more of your Swedish register.
I think one topic for Special about Finland could be the pre-indepence preparations. All sorts of things were going on while Finland was still under Russian rule. Finnish artists promoting Finnish nationality abroad, plans for making Finland a kingdom "when Germany wins the war", German submarines smuggling weapons to Finnish men willing to start the war for indepence, the same German submarine crew members becoming the first (and not the last) men to die for Finnish indepence. The list goes on. =) Also ages ago there was a mention in one of the episodes that the first Finnish "volunteers" were sent to Germany to train for the future Finnish independence war, any news about those folks? (Spoiler: They later became the first military leaders of Finland.)
can you do another video on the medical knowledge / treatments of the time? the last one was very helpful, but i'm curious to know more specifics. thanks!
I just finished the autobiography mentioned in this video. It's an easily recommended read. Mine is a free Project Gutenberg download, transcribed to e-book format from what I assume is its 1919 original printing. As such, we learn nothing of Yasha's final return to Russia or her death, those events not yet having occurred. But again, it is well worth your time.
this year at the ww1 event in rockford IL we (german reenactores) had a skirmish with the russian woman's unit. I believe its on youtube where you can see me being captured
Hi Indy.It would be fascinating to see an episode about Ukrainian military, precisely about Ukrainian female soldiers in high command, like Olena Stepanyv (Олена Степанів/Ołena Stepaniw-Daszkewycz).She was serving as a higher officer (first officially accepted and appointed in Eastern Europe) with the Ukrainian Sich Riflemen.She was fighting side-by-side with Archduke Wilhelm Franz of Austria (also known as "Red Prince" or "Vasyl Vyshyvanyi"). After the collapse of Habsburg Empire, she joined other Ukrainian military groups and was fighting against Ukrainian anarchists and Russian Bolsheviks.In 1919 she moves to Vienna and studies philosophy.She returns to Halychyna (Galicia) in 1921 and joins Ukrainian Secret University (Таємний Український Університет) and does usual dissident stuff till 1949.In 1949 KGB sentences her to 10 years in Gulag.But Stalin dies and she returns to Lviv in 1956, where she died 4 years later.
Please next episode be about Romania. This week, there are 100 years from the start of the battles in Moldova (Mărăști, Mărășești and Oituz), some of the most important operations on the Eastern Front in 1917. The battle of Mărăști began officialy at 11th of July, I think during the nigth (3 a.m.), after the European clock.
Well, I found an image of Zhúkov that seems from WW1 (according to source it's from 1916, not sure): russiapedia.rt.com/files/prominent-russians/military/georgy-zhukov/georgy-zhukov_6-t.jpg There is another of Zhúkov in the early 1920s, after being promoted to Regiment commander (Soviet equivalent to colonel): upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/Zhukov1923.jpg/200px-Zhukov1923.jpg I found also an image of Rokossovsky in 1916 posing with his everyday uniform: s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/b7/fc/99/b7fc994410285c8e30bd2cc14dc7a94d--soldiers-russia.jpg And this pic is from the Leningrad cavalry school in 1925: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d5/Graduation_Photo_Leningrad_Cavalry_School_1925.jpg/800px-Graduation_Photo_Leningrad_Cavalry_School_1925.jpg Both are on this picture, as both were graduated in 1925 from that school. Other people present on that picture are Ivan Bagramian (later replaced Rokossovsky as leader of the 16th Army when Rokossovsky was given the command of the Don Front, he reached the rank of Marshall in 1955) and Andrey Yemerenko, who fought in the battle of Stalingrad as well.
The quality and resolution of the pictures is very modest. The cavalry school picture has the bare minimum resolution we would need. And on top of that, the license of public domain status of the images must be cleared as well.
Hey Indie, and everyone at The Great War team, I have a question. I recently saw the new Wonderwoman movie (pretty good btw) and in one of the early scenes, one of the protagonists threw a grenade with small fins on the back. I was wondering if it was a real thing used in ww1. P.S. Love the show.
It is wildly inaccurate. It's just a fairytale. It's easier to find the very few parts that are at least based on reality, than to list what is inaccurate, as that is basically the whole movie.
Will there be a special about "İttihat ve Terakki Cemiyeti" (Committee of Union and Progress)? As far as I know they were the only "secret" organization that actually rose to power at the time. Also was it possible to escape a POW camp deep within enemy territory (more specifically Russian Siberia)? My great-grandfather was supposedly a POW in Siberia but I find it hard for an Ottoman soldier to escape Siberia and join Central Asian revolts alongside Enver Pasha.
There are many Turkish books I can recommend that include letters written by 3 Pashas (even the ones that were sent to their families). Only English source I know is from Mr. Masayuki Yamauchi but his books don't include Pashas involvement in Central Asia. Some Turkish books I would recommend: "Enver" by Murat Bardakçı, "İttihatçı'nın Sandığı" by Murat Bardakçı, "İttihat ve Terakki" by İlber Ortaylı/Erol Şadi Erdinç, "Naciyem,Ruhum,Efendim" by Murat Bardakçı, "Kuşçubaşı ve Yakup Cemil Osmanlı'nın İki Silahşörü" by Hüseyin Tekinoğlu and autobiographies of Pashas (mostly released as "Hatıralarım" by "insert Pasha's name") Turkish Archives are also available on internet but again, they are in Turkish.
7:24 This is a fantastic book. She even saw a member of Women's Battalion f*cking with a soldier in the trenches! Russia's history is very rich, but very weird/tragic.
This is a question for you Indiana ( Indiana Jones) did the Ottamans have armored trains in the desert eg Sinai desert, Suez Canal? I've played battlefield 1 and I noticed there were trains on some of the ottoman canpaigns
Indy I have some info on Maria B "The book "They Fought For the Motherland" The Battalion only went into battle with 170 Women 2 were killed, 2 missing 36 wounded one of which later died they only captured 24 prisoners and 2 machine guns. Note Rodzinko and Kerensky don't mention her in their memoirs.
Where's the feminism in fighting for no real cause? Fighting for personal glory and useless nationalism, killing and dying for nothing. That's just stupid.
women shouldn't be looking to her just as a war hero or solider but a woman who can do same thing as a man. War does not care about your gender. Bullet speaks every language and kill any gender or religion.
Cheka stands for All Russian Extraordinary commission for combating counterrevolution and Sabotage. 20 December 1917 was the date of the founding of the Cheka you might want to do a special on them. see its wiki article. and books like "The Cheka Lenin's Political Police" It looks like these women were carrying regular M-1891 rifles not carbines from the looks of the pictures.
Could you make a video about Momcilo Gavric? He was a boy that became a corporal in WW1 when he was only 8 years old. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momčilo_Gavrić
A group of women reenactors portrayed the group at the Rockford, Illinois WWI event. They did an excellent job! Their leader even was built like Maria.
+Zac Williams that's pretty cool!
Cool, is there any picture or video evidence of this reenactment? I'm happy to see more people interested in ww1
What WW1 Rockford event? My parents grew up there. THat would be great to see
What a glorious life, such a depressing end.
nothing glorious. donkey's stupidity. "we gonna fight till the end" she needed to ask herself "why did she send all those women to die?"
Those Women volunteered to fight against foreign invaders to protect their land and culture. She fought and persisted her whole life and that is admirable.
if you die for your people you live for eternity in the hearts and minds of your nation. to die for your country is tragic but undeniably one of the most honourable ways to go
ahahaha 2 questions. did they protect their land or culture? protect from what? i suppose you know the origins of this war. maybe your comment should be like this: "those women were deceived by "sharks around power" and decided to protect those shark's interests on how to share a big piece of cake. naive you are so fu..king naive, me boy. best wishes ^)
Milk Pride World Wide you can't die for your country. because country is not yours (c) maybe you wanted to say "bla bla bla...to die for a country...."
This woman was really one of the forefighters of female equality. Deep respect!
She fought for her nation, mother Russia. Not feminism. At least not the third wave feminism of today.
@@idunaasgard1183 He didn't say feminism he said female equality (with males).
@@Betrix5060 Both of you don’t seem to get what Feminism is…
She deserves a movie. Because she deserves to be remembered. Great job.
Its made 2015 Battallion,you can see trailer here in youtube.Main role is played perfectly.

sexy zeit
German POW's in Russia with female guards be like...
Don't you mean their means of 're-'production? :)
Hehehe
the old background was more homely and the map was cool
I thought he used the background you're referring to only for the weekly main bit of the show and this one for extra stuff like "Who did what in WWI" etc.
I love your videos and I have watched all your videos in 3 days
In the name of the tsar
A person in the comment section we need "In the name of Lenin" DLC
Yakov I wanted Lenin as the new behemoth
A person in the comment section press A to overtrow the bourgeoisie
A person in the comment section i'm calling the political comissar
Beep Boop maybe next we can hear about the great grenade spam of 1916 especially after the crossbow DLC
Love your channel! Could you do a special on the Richmond sixteen conscientious objectors please?
we will talk about objectors at one point, yes.
awesome video

Rick, go home. WW1 was a stupid war fought for stupid reasons, not a war of conquest. If everyone evaded the draft, there would have been no war.

Anywas, good job with the chanel! I like it very much and I always find out something new.
What an amazing story. Someone should really make a movie about this.
I'm sorry this is an old comment.
There kinda was, a Russian made film called Battlion made in 2015 covers the battalion as a whole. It's currently on Prime if your in the US.
Amazing video guys
I'm really looking forward to the upcoming episodes in October, something to look forward to in that dreary month!
Could you do a special on the French ace Georges Guynemer since in 2 months it will be the 100th anniversary of his death ?
we intend to.
Glad to hear that =)
Keep doing a great job, you're all awesome ^_^
The Great War what about world war 2
Hi great war crew, Ray from A Brief History of Nothing, we did a episode on on her, I must say your version is better
A true hero
very well presented.

You're doing very well for an englishspeaker! And your Swedish is not that bad either :) I'd be curious to hear more of your Swedish register.
For anyone interested, there is a movie called BATTALION that came out in 2015 about her and the Battalion of Death.
Do a special on Finland.
only a special?
The Astro Gamer Torilla tavataan!
I think they can do it at the beginning of '18. When civil war between red and white finns erupted and Germans were heavily involved...
The Great War you can do way more than just a special.
I think one topic for Special about Finland could be the pre-indepence preparations. All sorts of things were going on while Finland was still under Russian rule.

Just a few hours ago I saw a TGW clan member on BF1 for PC; I love that interest in WW1 is metastasizing.
Yeah, we have quite a few platoons.
hello big fan of your show. Could you please explain more about the US marine corps role in ww1.

Who is thinking brienne of tarth while looking at her?
Me. Even saw Gwendoline Christie's face on her on portraits.
I love to see an HBO mini series about the Women's Death Battalions. Gwendoline Christie would be a great lead as Bochkavera.

Please do an episode about Zhúkov and Rokossovsky in WW1. Both served as NCOs and were promoted to lieutenants.
Depends if we can get pictures of them from WW1.
Well, I found an image of Zhúkov that seems from WW1 (according to source it's from 1916, not sure): russiapedia.rt.com/files/prominent-russians/military/georgy-zhukov/georgy-zhukov_6-t.jpg
There is another of Zhúkov in the early 1920s, after being promoted to Regiment commander (Soviet equivalent to colonel): upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/Zhukov1923.jpg/200px-Zhukov1923.jpg
I found also an image of Rokossovsky in 1916 posing with his everyday uniform: s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/b7/fc/99/b7fc994410285c8e30bd2cc14dc7a94d--soldiers-russia.jpg

Both are on this picture, as both were graduated in 1925 from that school. Other people present on that picture are Ivan Bagramian (later replaced Rokossovsky as leader of the 16th Army when Rokossovsky was given the command of the Don Front, he reached the rank of Marshall in 1955) and Andrey Yemerenko, who fought in the battle of Stalingrad as well.
The quality and resolution of the pictures is very modest. The cavalry school picture has the bare minimum resolution we would need. And on top of that, the license of public domain status of the images must be cleared as well.
Sorry, I couldn't find bigger images.
Why do you say Boshkareva instead of Bochkareva?
But good episode still
Will you guys do a bi on Marina Yurlova?

P.S. Love the show.
now THATS Wonder Woman...without stupid fake fiction and mediocre "love" story.
Well said and Why not make true story movie of Marie? Instead they put a tall ugly woman. Who doesn’t belong near a battlefield.
will there be a week by week series of the world war 2 and when ??? please i need to know
www.reddit.com/r/TheGreatWarChannel/comments/4ksvy2/will_you_guys_ever_do_a_ww2_channel_our_official/
Quite the different ending to her story compared to Milunka. How tragic.
Milunka's story is very sad in it's own way.
Hey Indy here is a question for Out of the Trenches? How accurate is Wonder Woman in portraying WW1?
It is wildly inaccurate. It's just a fairytale.
It's easier to find the very few parts that are at least based on reality, than to list what is inaccurate, as that is basically the whole movie.
Will there be a special about "İttihat ve Terakki Cemiyeti" (Committee of Union and Progress)? As far as I know they were the only "secret" organization that actually rose to power at the time.
Also was it possible to escape a POW camp deep within enemy territory (more specifically Russian Siberia)? My great-grandfather was supposedly a POW in Siberia but I find it hard for an Ottoman soldier to escape Siberia and join Central Asian revolts alongside Enver Pasha.
do you know a good source about them?
There are many Turkish books I can recommend that include letters written by 3 Pashas (even the ones that were sent to their families).
Only English source I know is from Mr. Masayuki Yamauchi but his books don't include Pashas involvement in Central Asia.
Some Turkish books I would recommend: "Enver" by Murat Bardakçı, "İttihatçı'nın Sandığı" by Murat Bardakçı, "İttihat ve Terakki" by İlber Ortaylı/Erol Şadi Erdinç, "Naciyem,Ruhum,Efendim" by Murat Bardakçı, "Kuşçubaşı ve Yakup Cemil Osmanlı'nın İki Silahşörü" by Hüseyin Tekinoğlu and autobiographies of Pashas (mostly released as "Hatıralarım" by "insert Pasha's name")
Turkish Archives are also available on internet but again, they are in Turkish.
Hm, that's going to complicate things.
Awesome
i know its a bit late,but why they changed the office from the videos?
because the old one was old.
+The Great War well,the map was cool,you guys could keep it
Austria-Hungary had the colony of Tianjin in China, it was easily overrun but can you elaborate more on it?
+Indiana Jones do you write a list of questions in the beginning of the week that you post one after another?
The Great War Actually Yes, I write three to four questions a week on Fridays
This is why I love this channel and its viewers. Ever Austria-Hungry for knowledge.
You could do a special about August von Mackensen.
Might come this fall.
It would be a real pleasure if you can spoke about those men who war against the war, one of the heroes of the 20th century....Romain Rolland
We will at some point.
It would be greath...thanks a lot
Well she was brave for sure..! Thanks anyway guys for this vid. Have a glorious week. :)
Hey, could you please tell me how many Germans were deployed on the Eastern Front in WWI? Thanks!
very cool
Do you plan to make video about "Oath Crisis" of Polish Legions?
I think we will talk about it, yes.
man im halfway through season 2 but dang the office has changed a lot trying to catch up haha
7:24 This is a fantastic book. She even saw a member of Women's Battalion f*cking with a soldier in the trenches!
Russia's history is very rich, but very weird/tragic.
The faiths of the women in the red army are very interesting, also in WW2. The book by Svetlana Alexievich is very interesting and shocking.
Big fan
This woman deserves a movie :O
This is a question for you Indiana ( Indiana Jones) did the Ottamans have armored trains in the desert eg Sinai desert, Suez Canal? I've played battlefield 1 and I noticed there were trains on some of the ottoman canpaigns
can you do a video about life inside a army tank in ww1 or 2
Indy I have some info on Maria B "The book "They Fought For the Motherland" The Battalion only went into battle with 170 Women 2 were killed, 2 missing 36 wounded one of which later died they only captured 24 prisoners and 2 machine guns. Note Rodzinko and Kerensky don't mention her in their memoirs.
You should do Herbert Hoover next!
How was the movie of this battalion?
awesome.
wow, she actually went around the world. Recruited at Tomsk, then to Vladivostock to US then Archangel then back to Tomsk.
Hello!
Quite a different approach from handing out feathers..
Needs to be a movie...
I can sense the salt from both sides of the Battlefield one crowd
u are awsome really

All that... and she put her hands in her pockets. Absolute badass.
cool story!
She had such an amazing story sad how she went though
kale Well this sjw comment definitely doesn’t make sense
"woman's battalion *of death*"...makes it sound scarier.
I salute you ma'am.
Also you can create 2 of these women's death battalion in Hoi4 Kaiserreich as Russia
Can we all agree, that is real feminism, that is real empowerment, sexual harassment victim to hero. Crazy.
John Harms Doesnt matter. She proved herself worthy and tons of leaders saw that. WHAT DOES suck is the fact she got rekt by her own country.
Where's the feminism in fighting for no real cause? Fighting for personal glory and useless nationalism, killing and dying for nothing. That's just stupid.
I can't agree. Real feminism is not getting yourself killed in a stupid war your country has got itself involved in.
