It’s a foggy night of August 6th, 1915 and in the trenches near Osowiec fortress the Imperial Russians are facing the Germans in what is now modern day Poland. The Germans are using a terrible weapon. Gas. A huge cloud drifts across the battlefield. The resulting effects on the soldiers gives them an unearthly appearance. Even though they have fallen, they seem to come back to life. The Germans are naturally fearful of these undead soldiers that become vicious, fast combatants full of hatred and revenge. An incredible counter attack where the fallen through sheer will went back into the fight to take their vengeance.

Yo yarnhub can you do about the first female Chinook pilot, relative of mine that I didn't know much about at all because they lived in America
Hi yarnhub! Just wanted to say, I love your vids! The quality keeps getting better and better!
These videos are godly, from the story telling to the animations. Makes me look forward to coming home from school every friday and seeing a new vid :D
Good.
Don't forget making Sargent York
Another fun fact - one Russian soldier who was in Osowiec siege coughed out a lung cancer without him realizing that he had it in the first place, and died in 2001. His family must've been damn proud to have such gigachad for great-grandpa.
Now this is one of the most impressive war tales I have ever heard, having cancer and chlorine poisoning but then living for over 100 years

For those who are curious about how frightening a gas attack is from the perspective of a WWI soldier in the trenches:
Otto Dix was a German soldier who after the war became famous as an artist, with much of his art inspired by his experiences as a soldier.
More than once he depicted soldiers during a gas attack, and in his depiction of gas masks, they aesthetically resemble skulls in his art
Atleast he didn’t fail art school
It doesn’t do it for me, the gas I mean. It just doesn’t sound vary terrifying, it’s slow and easily seen and once you have a gas mask your safe. I’ve looked up Otto dix and I stand by what I said
@@Berserker3624 you would be afraid in the early part of the war when there were no anti gas precautions.
And gas attacks weren't always in daylight, so imagine one night it's so late that you can't keep your eyes open,the sentries can't see anything until it's already too close because the darkness, and by the time you smell that chlorine smell your dead already before you realize.
@@Berserker3624 counter point
it was commenly delviered with artillery near you. Actually this was first way it was used. Has some limitations with some gases.
Many gases could go nearly as fast as the wind. Average sprint speed is 16mph, but not long distance, that's on track, in light weight clothes.
Meaning lets say the wind is going 20mph and the gas goes half the speed of wind cause its heavier one. 10mph will still seem fast in the mud. God forbid its 60 mph wind. And yah you can abandon your postion. When the gas disupates your going to be basically doing a game of king of the hill for the trenchs. (Assuming the side which launched the gas doesn't have gas mask)
mustard gas was also a blistering agent. Meaning while gas mask will help prevent death....most likely you will be unfit for combat for a time. Meaning if your late enough in the war to have a gas mask your still not 100% safe. While you could try to cover most of youe skin to some effect it will eventually saturate the fabric and start burning or more accurately dissolving.
@@Swampy-ci3np good counter point, yup with latest tidbit of info gas has definitely become bit more terrifying. I’d put it up there with burning to death with how unpleasant it would be to die form it
If the animation keeps improving at this rate, we might not be able to tell if Yarnhub's animation is live action or not in a few years.
The movement wad kinda rough compared to previous episodes to be honest, but the storytelling definitely compensated for that.
@@PinkStratovolcano I noticed that too, especially the scene where the soldier ran towards the dying commander.
@@jhypyro probs was started early but had to do a sponsored one first and fast for cash

Seeing the title, I thought this was Yarnhub Mystery video. Surprised it was real! Imagine the powerlessness one must feel seeing the chlorine gas approaching, and horrifying sounds of people dying in despair. The internal conflicts as a German advancing, seeing the human tragedy befalling the enemy, lucky it’s them and not us. Then to be revenged by the seemingly undead. So filled with emotions on the extreme from both side. Mastery of Yarnhub story telling has reached terrific heights, love it!

Okay, at first I thought this was a joke video given the date (April 1, 2022 - April Fool's Day). But the topic was just too serious to take lightly, so I did a little further research.
Indeed, the Germans did conduct a gas attack near Osowiec. And Russian survivors of the gas attack did repel the Germans with bayonets and artillery.
Thanks again, Yarnhub, for another well researched, animated, and narrated tidbit of history! Well done!
Oh i was very confused too
How did you not know this was a real story?
@@testiclegaming1250 Not everyone who enjoys history is a military historian. Not every military historian is a WW 1 historian. Not every WW 1 historian studied the battles of the Eastern Front. That or the poor guy never listened to Sabaton.
@@testiclegaming1250, I know of the use of chemical weapons in WWI through the viewing of documentaries and reading of several books, both fact and historical fiction.
However, given today’s date, I wasn’t sure if this video was truly fact based, or just made up for today. The last few minutes of narration gave me cause to research further, as I stated in my original post.

A few numbers to help show how incredible this was - The German army brought 7,000 men to bear, whereas Osowiec Fortress was defended by only 900. The barrage and the gas combined killed about 800. So this means that the countercharge comprised only 100 heavily wounded men, who were outnumbered a staggering 70 to 1, and yet they won the battle.
When the Germans fled, they were far too disorgsnised to file back through the paths in the wire traps they had cut, so a lot of the died from running into their own barbed wire and being shot by the five remaining Russian big guns that hadn't been knocked out by the German artillery barrage.
Completely false. The initial gas managed to kill roughly only over 250 soldiers. The German placement against the fortress that was in the frontline numbered a little over 300 only, because they were heavily relying on the gas to work.
While the Russian achievement is great, let’s stick to the actual facts.
@@wake6000 Hey look, I appreciate your efforts to be condescending but not only was I not *not* attempting to stick to the facts like you seem to be implying, I'm actually correct.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_of_the_Dead_Men
Imagine this:
You are Hans, a fresh recruit, straight out of Hamburg. You are ready for combat. Your first battle, Osowiec, a Russian fortress.
You watch as a cloud of green gas descends upon the fort. You wait in your gas mask, among your friends. You feel sorry for the poor Russians in there. Stop it. A soldier cannot feel sorry. After 10 minutes, all 12 battalions are ordered forward.
You walk, sidestepping barbed wire, dead bodies, and craters. Suddenly, your battalion stops. There is a movement in the gas cloud. What could possibly still be living? Silhouettes of humans. You see it too. Your friends whisper in confusion. You, too, are confused. As they get closer, you hear war cries. In Russian. You brace for battle. Did they get reinforcements? Did they have gas masks after all?
However, as it gets closer, your blood runs cold. Your mouth drops open, and you sweat. "Heilige Scheiße..." you whisper, in utter horror, as these, are no reinforcements. These, are the fort's Russian defenders, half gassed to death. They wear no masks. Bloodshot eyes, mouths crying curses in Russian, stopped by only chokes of blood. They charge, firing their guns.
You wildly look around you screaming at the top of your lungs filling with gas to bank courage in your friends. But you see Lieutenant get stabbed by a bayonet. The Russian screams a guttural war cry, spewing blood from his own neck. You turn, with many others, trying to flee. Forget the Kaiser. Forget the Fatherland. You must survive. Get back to Hamburg. You run, dropping your gun. Dear God, what would your squadron leader say?! Clearly it's "AHHHHH!!!!" as a bayonet takes him from behind. His death rattle banks you with adrenaline to run. You yelp, a scared little lamb, as you run harder for 3 seconds.
But your leg snags on a wire. You land on your face in the dirt. Your leg bleeds profusely. You try to get up, but someone stands on your sleeve. You turn around and look at your death. Your heart skips three beats.
A Russian. His face is red, blood streaming down his cheeks, wrinkled from the gas. You plead for mercy, but it's no use. He doesn't understand German, as if he was in the mood to spare even indeed. The Russian lifts his bayonet. It's rusty from the gas.
stab noise Your blue eyes bulge. The Russian twists the bayonet in your stomach. Your blood spills. A crimson river out of your liver. In your last moments, you think of your family, your old father, your girl. Her sweet face. You will never see her again.
The world fades away, and the last thing you see is your Russian opponent rips the bayonet out of your stomach, flexes his weapon, to stab your older brother Heinrich who is desperately fending off two aggressive Russians. The general screams to retreat, the syllables barely out of his throat before 3 bullets take him as the Russians burst forward... An unstoppable force. You hear the screams of your fallen, the begging for mercy, a man stepping over you screaming. "ANCESTORS SAVE ME!" he yelps. He slips on a body and falls in a foxhole.
But loudest of all, is the scream of the damned. The 100 damned who rose again to fight...
Your fingers tremble around your spilling arteries...
The noon sky fades...
You belch even more blood as a man steps on you desperate to run away from the slaughter...
The mud splashes as men run and blinds you..... Your senses go.... The smell of blood... the taste of mud... the wetness of your bloody entrails... your sight seeing the wide eyes of your friends run... friends who you thought would never ever leave you... You watch the army rout in blurred vision...
Death is not peaceful as your hearing goes... their war cries lull you to darkness.

The idea of zombies don't scare many people nowadays because of movies and video games revolving the undead but imagine being the German army.
The only story you've heard of involving the undead was Count Dracula and you believe it to be nothing more than just a story to get a quick spook. Then you're stationed to fight in Osowiec the bodies before you are dead, or are they? Then just before you maybe those undead stories weren't just stories, the corpse ahead of you is stumbling to you and many more twisted bloodied mangled bodies are headed your direction.
I won't lie, for a lack of a better of way to say it, I'd shit myself.
I tried thinking of saying something similar, but you worded it better than I ever could; I, too, would probably run in such a situation.

Hi Yarnhub, its the first time i see one of your videos with an specific bird animation, i think you are expanding your boundaries even more! you have my respect for achieving this feat! Happy April to all your team :)
A few facts: the 9th, 10th, 11th companies of the 226 Zemlyansky regiment ceased to exist, since they where in the lowlands. In the 12th company about 40 people remained in the ranks, another 60 were a little further away, closer to the rear. The Germans were pursued by 13th company of the 226 Zemlyansky regiment under the command of Kotlinsky.

it's a spooky. terrifying and valiant story, "The Attack of the Dead Men"
also love how No men's land has more details now and get a father sense of distance with the shots too
the gas wounds are great too(just detail enough to not be too disturbing as described)
its not no mans land its the dead mans land
I recall another video describing the gas wounds as "men coughing out chunks of their lungs"
Sooo yeah, those trenches must've been rather gory. Imagine being stabbed with a bayonet by a dying russian as he coughs up blood.
When the gas meets moisture it turned to acid, hence the eyes go first. Chemotherapy treatments comes from the effects studied on soldiers who suffered mustard gas attacks in WW1.
It's amazing he survived until 1952, considering he lived in Poland....
An take into account the gas which would probably have effected his health a bit as well (slightly similar my Great Grandfather suffered from poisonous gasses from the Great War an pasted away in the early 50's as well, They served apart of the Scottish Black Guard).
A lot of men suffered from the gas after being subjected to it even post war for decades after.
And the last one died in 2003 that's 82 years after that
One of them lived till 2001.
He survived both World Wars, The Cold War and the Dissolution of the Soviet Union

World of Tanks Russia did an incredible live action story of this event. I'd highly recommend it. It's heart-breaking and will bring tears to your eyes. It's in Russian, but there's English subtitles. It's one of the best made war videos I've even seen.
Still hoping there might be a coming video of Wojtek, the Polish war bear and unit mascot from WWII that while under heavy Italian fire during the battle for Italy, carried the ammo boxes for his artillery unit and ultimately quite literally turned the tide of the battle. It’s why to this day, their shoulder patch shows him standing on his hind legs carrying an artillery shell. They found him as an abandoned cub and raised him literally as “one of the guys” and would wrestle with him, even. Incredibly, footage of it all still exists. But I would love to see the story truly get the spotlight it deserves, as it’s so largely forgotten.
Link it please I need to see this
My brain thought it was a guy then recalibrated and went WAIT WHAT?
@@BlackdragonTheShadow my hope is YarnHub might make a video, I should say. Wojtek was a Syrian bear cub bought by the Polish artillery after the Russians formed them up out of their gulags when Hitler invaded, and they came across him in Iran when a boy sold him to them. He became their mascot and was known to smoke cigarettes and drink beer with the soldiers as well as wrestle with the bravest of them as he grew up… though, he often left them a little bruised and clothes torn… after all, in the end, he weighed 500 pounds. When a thief tried to rob them one night, he woke up and though just did his normal friendly routine, he scared the guy so senseless he surrendered to the soldiers after screaming like a little girl so loudly, they probably thought the thief was a little girl at first-if you know what I mean. When the soldiers came under British control (and thankfully out of Stalin’s) in Israel in 1943 and were shipped to Italy, they were not allowed to take mascots, so they responded by making him a fully documented soldier so they could take him with them. He was known by then to be just as bad as the other boys, drinking beer and flirting with the Italian ladies, and at Monte Castillo (forgive my spelling and autoINcorrect) he started mimicking the other soldiers and began picking up the crates full of artillery shells, carrying them to the guns while walking in his back legs. In minutes, they had taught to carry one under each arm and with his help they were able to stop a German advance that without, they may not have had enough shells fast enough to fire. It literally “turned the battle” as the legend goes, and was promoted to corporal. It was after this, the Polish Artillery made their logo an image of Wojtek carrying a big artillery shell on their shoulder patches and painted on the doors of their trucks. He became too big to ride shotgun anymore, so they got their hands on one of those tank chassis built into a tank recovery vehicle, used to move damaged tanks and things, and turned that into his personal valet to transport him between camps, and it’s said he loved riding in the open top like a big old dog sticking his head out the window of a car. After the war, he retired to a zoo in Scotland where even 20 years later, among all the thousands of voices calling his name, TV appearances, and so on: he would recognize the voices of his fellow Polish brothers and would stop, sit, and flap his lips begging for a beer or cigarette as they used to do. Apparently, tobacco was like candy for him. He died in 1963 at the age of 22, which is standard for Syrian Brown Bears which live 20-25 years in the wild. It’s a story so unique, I just hope beyond hope YarnHub makes a video about Wojtek… and if I knew how to, I’d send Sabaton a daily email request to write a song about him: Poland’s Bear Soldier.
@@buckduane1991 I read somewhere that some of those polish veterans he served with actually tried to climb the fence at the zoo to get in and wrestle with him once again
I don't know if you saw it already, but in Yarnhub's community post they tease a video about Wojtek.

Would not call it courage, just mostly hatered and desperation. Those on the backlines got least amount of the gas hence in better condition. Troops were mostly uneducated country folk at the time, so just usage of gas was wunderweapon and they had no idea what side effects there could be, so bodies rising up all blooded and charging them was enough to scare some of the Germans to run, but not all so it turned into another countercharge. I think from what i have heard about it, it was not that special event, just grown out of proportions, possibly was used as propaganda by Russians and recently Sabaton grew attention to it.
@@Hellsong89it was all over the news that time when it happened although there is quite a lot of propaganda you have like dozens of different stories from i think this one is one most of accurate since everyone says no one survived meanwhile some did this would be good movie ngl i mean russians did 20 min short movie about it but they didnt make it accurate that much they never showed polish soldiers meanwhile they nearly made half of garrison and they just showed germans running away meanwhile some stayed and held the line
Men literally too angry to die.
these are stories that are not taught or forgotten..Thank you for bringing them out for all of us to learn about..Ret.USN Chief Petty Officer Deleon Steven L.
Video:**BEGINS**
Man: It's a fucky night
Me: great start
Turmoil at the front
Wilhelms forces on the hunt
There's a thunder in the east
It's an attack of the deceased
They've been facing poison gas
7, 000 charge en masse
Turn the tide of the attack
And force the enemy to turn back......
Beat me to it
@@Ethan.YT. add on then 😉
And that's when the dead men are marching again
The comment I was looking for 🤟🤟
На востоке гром
План Вильгельма обречён
Опьянённые войной
Решив, что будет лёгкий бой
Немцы выпустили газ
Сотни душ прибрав за раз
Но увидели бойцы
Как вдруг восстали мертвецы!
Totally the zombie apocalypse of WW1! Amazing how these animations are made so fast, you’re awesome Yarnhub 👏
Yea ikr
AND THATS WHEN THE DEAD MEN COME MARCHING AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!
5:14 * Fetch me their souls!*
I love hear Russians voices of persons,also Polish narrator bring tears at eyes. Great work,team!
Your animations are getting absolutely incredible!
Especially for the a 9 min long video
a war so terrible, not even the dead could escape it
This is the first time I am learning about attack of the dead man’s first world
always soothes my heart hearing "died peacefully of old age"
Thank you to cover this war story. It's my favorite war story of WW1.
Much work is put into this videos and it shows! Please keep up the great videos😁
German soldiers: I think they’re dead…
Russian soldiers: yeah, I think they will be dead.
God you gotta think about it from the perspective of the germans though. Something like this:
Its been months, this one russian fort is practically singlehandedly slowing your advance, you just watched your old boss get sacked for not taking the fort and the new one orders a new weapon to be used: Gas. you watch as this strange green fog creeps towards the russian trenches. Then the screaming starts, grown men screaming in fear as they know their dead already, then even more unnervingly, the screaming dies. The silence is the most unnatural thing you've ever seen after the constant background orchestra of guns and bombs.
Your Sergeant orders you to go over the top, and after beating a few to get the rest moving, your over and in *NO-MANS-LAND* you should be dead already, cut down by russian machine guns and rifles. But all you can hear is the deep silence. So you and your buddies go over this pockmarked land of shell holes and swampy mud. You get right up to the first lines of wire, and still nothing. You watch Otto cut the barbed wire without the danger and it scares you, because thats how it should be, thats how all this should have gone: with you mercifully dying three steps from your own trench as the enemy fought tooth and nail like they've always done for the past couple of weeks or so. You arrive at the first trench, and hell awaits you. Corpses everywhere, all of them in poses of agony and fear, these men knew they where dying and died slowly and in pain: the soldiers worst nightmare. This isnt how war should be, this isnt how a battle should go, its even farther than the cruel reality you consoled yourself with the moment you got into your first battle, its worse.
Then you see him, a single survivor. clad in the muddy and now bloodsoaked uniform of the enemy. This, creature, lays there coughing and writhing in pain. As you get closer you see it roll its head over to the side, pull its bloodied cloth down from its face, and spit blood onto the mud next to it. **You see fleshy chunks in the blood.** You can't look away as Claus bayonets' the thing in the chest. As it dies you see gratitude in its bloodshot eyes, it wants to die. You move onto the 2nd line of trenches and its more of the horrible, bloody same. More Death, more corpses, no one survived in this one. Either they died clutching these piss soaked rags to their mouths, or they died in corners and half out of the trench trying to escape the death. You hear Corporal Holger comment that we were going to just walk into the fort and take it. No one replies.
The air carries a faint trace of the choking death you unleashed upon these poor souls, and even that sets fire to your throat and makes you cough harder than you have ever coughed before. To think that these men had worse just a few minutes ago. As you come up to the reserve trench you hear it, the call for a halt and to ready for enemy contact. Bringing up your rifle you peer into the haze, and what you see sends ice sliding down your spine. Its the vague shape of a person, getting up from the mud and stumbling towards you. That is not possible, it cant be, they're all dead! And yet here this impossible thing stands, and now stumbles towards you. You hear gasps of shock from around you and you also see that the shambling figure is no longer alone. Around it all along the trenches other rise up seemingly from the grave and begin that unsteady shuffle towards you and your friends. What emerges out of the green tinged fog is the stuff of nightmares.
These are dead men. They have to be! the fronts of their uniforms are caked in their own blood, their eyes no longer have white in them, only red. Some have skin bubbling like a pot of water. Others are actively spitting up palm sized chunks of flesh! A ragged moaning roar soars from the trenches and then you know, you know. Hans says it best, "God save us, the dead have risen!"
Next thing you know, your hands are empty, your half way over the no-mans land, and your the only one whos gotten this far. Behind you, you can hear them, the dead men. The burbling ragged shouts from their blood soaked lips sings in wrenched harmony with your friend's terrified screaming. Once the noise dies down, your commander finds you in the deepest parts of the dugouts used to shelter against artillery. Your in a little cubby hole you've dug with your own hands, and now with bloody tips you clutch your crucifix, muttering and babbling the lords prayer over and over. Your sent home for 'battle fatigue' along with whatever is left of your unit.
Yeah, Did You Know, That most Russian Soldiers were also Couging up Chunks of Their OWN LUNGS?
I like how you used the eyewitness account in his language with the translation, really grounds the story as actual history instead of just a scary-tale.
German: I think the gas killed them
Russian corpse: What gas?
German: What?
Russian corpse: What?
love the animations
keep it up!
And that’s when the dead men are marching again…
100 men charge again die again
Osowiec then and again attack of the dead hundred men
@@MB_airsoft facing the lead once again, hundred men, charge again, die again.
@@blackshirt5004 Osowiec then and again
Attack of the dead, hundred men
Facing the lead once again
Hundred men
Charge again
Die again
Two combatants spar
Hindenburg against the Tsar
Move in 12 battalions large
Into a Russian counter-charge
They'll be fighting for their lives
As their enemy revives
Russians won't surrender, no
Striking fear into their foe
And that's when the dead men are marching again
*AND THAT'S WHEN THE DEAD MEN ARE MARCHING AGAIN!*
"War is hell" The most relatable thing I've ever heard
Attack of the dead, hundred men
I got introduced to this channel through the Red Baron video, amazing to see how much it has improved again. The mic quality and the overall animation quality never ceases to impress me. Keep it up yarnhub.
Soldier: hey what happened to you comrade?
Am dead why?
Soldier: what?! Nobody told you to die GET UP IMMEDIATLY
I like the way you and Sabaton make the videos from your end and there’s and I do enjoy learning about history
"Turmoil at the front

I’m glad you guys did this story as it is one of my most favorite stories from the Great War and this has to be the best video on this event that I have ever seen
-Ганс, этот яд точно смертелен?
-Да.
-Тогда почему, этот русский пулемёт поворачивается в нашу сторону?
i just love the cinematography of these videos.
Мертв - не значит убит! За Веру, Царя и Отечество!
Epic one, Yarnhub, as always! Love your videos.
For some reason this made me cry.
I won’t die without there being a Zombie film based off this.
Good to know that men from my country was a part of this attack. Glory for Poland!🇵🇱
Większość tych "Rosjan" to byli polacy
Considering Poland belonged to Russia, no
@@jakubwojtek1039 No, in your vet dreams
@@pomiklom2499 w żadnych snach towarzyszu
@@jakubwojtek1039 Why would I? Do you think that everyone who was in this fortress was polish? And only Kotlinsky was russian? The majority of russian imperial army were russians, and poles in this battle were a small part. Stop appropriating other nations victories / achievements for your own
I've wanted to see a full explanation video of this story and my wish came true. Thank You Yarnhub!
Sabaton has a song about this battle, aptly named the same as the title. Great song, and as usual, great work from Yarnhub!
kids when school ends and there are serval german teachers wanting to give you homework:
Germans: Why do I hear WAW theme boss music-
*WAW zombie round theme music plays and the 2 round begins*
Polish sapper and Russian commander: *FETCH ME THEIR SOULS-*
I saw my first video from you guys right after covid started, and I'm thrilled with the progress you guys have made. Keep it up!
Germanys: haha ez imagine no gaz mask
Russia: who need gas mask when you have a rag
I love your channel keep up the great stuff!
