It typically happens as the generations go on. Eventually WWII will fade and people will be talking about Vietnam more. The last WWI veteran died over a decade ago but there are still thousands of WWII veterans alive so we can still get a sense of WWII first hand. However, they are dying fast. Same thing most likely happened with the Revolutionary war, Civil war, and so on. We all get lost to time eventually.
The anti-Germanization of WWI wasn't just renaming food, it also put an end to many German-American cultural institutions. German churches, schools and communities rebranded, switched to English and distanced themselves from Germany. It was when Germans joined English as being mainstream white Americans with little German heritage in most cases.
English Royalty even changed their family name in 1917 to distance themselves away from their German heritage. Queen Victoria, a Hanover monarch, married the Austro-Hungarian prince Albert Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, bringing their name to the royal house of England. But when anti-Jerry sentiments rose, they changed the royal family name from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to a more traditional Anglo-Saxon sounding Windsor, which remains today.
In Britain, because of anti German feelings, the German Shepherd dog breed was renamed to Alsatian. This carried on into the 60's and 70's. I first saw a German Shepherd in 1970 but, when I asked what breed it was, its owner called it an Alsatian. It wasn't until the mid 80's that I learned their true name.
I was raised in a small town where before the world wars, people spoke fluent German because this community was filled with German and Swiss immigrants, me being 5th gen Swiss. My town was Berlin, obviously named after the capital of Germany, but we changed the pronunciation of the town, and no one spoke German ever again, the language in my family died with my great grandfather. It sucks cause I didn’t even know my own roots until last year. Me and my father are planning to visit Germany and Switzerland next year to visit our roots and maybe even some distant relatives.

Fun fact about the Spanish Flu. It likely wasn’t as deadly as we are taught. In med school you learn about iatrogenic harm (which is when the treatment of an illness is actually causing the issue), and the Spanish flu is the case example. In the western forces, Asprin was used to treat fever. Spanish flu caused fever and because of the fighting, fever was believed to not only be the deadly aspect, but also was the thing that incapacitated a soldier. So they were issuing huge doses of Asprin in order to combat fever. Well… overdose of Asprin causes fever… so many soldiers were getting fevers from Asprin overdose and then given more Asprin. But when they died of fever, (since that’s what kills you with the flu) they were chalked up as Spanish flu deaths as well. It’s literally impossible to gauge how many deaths were from Asprin and how many from the Spanish flu, but the lethality rate was significantly less than thought. Not to mention battlefield and wartime conditions in general aren’t the best for treating regular flu outbreaks and this likely caused a more severe spread and therefore more Asprin use. Doses you can find in military medical records are sometimes 100x higher than the LD50 known today.
I get your point, and I know doctors are scientists not sociologists, but DUUUUUDE. You must realize that we’re still in a potential pandemic “era,” and SARS regional epidemics have been busting out throughout the 21st century at a rate that makes me assume we aren’t done with this yet. I get the gist of your story - the “cure” could be worse than the disease. But if you know any non-scientists, you know that people conflate the deadliness of a disease to the individual with the spread of the disease as a system. The Flu Epidemic of 1917* was just as deadly as we thought from a public health perspective. I think you intentionally planted a seed to distrust COVID vax and treatment! I do not understand scientists who fight the social studies like this. We’re out here trying to teach people to listen to doctors, doctors are telling people that “woke history is lies.” Do you know why history changed so much? Scientific evidence!!! We use the tools you all give us to vastly improve accuracy in the story of our past, but then our historic truth challenges your wealth and you like your social status, so fuck everybody else, right? *I am assuming you are a racist-leaning person, and most people you meet professionally will as well. You know better and I should not even have to hint at why “Spanish Flu” is a deranged name to use in 2024. Pull yourself together. And please remember that your MD only covers medical science. You are a good memorizer, but you’ll need to read a lot more to learn how to use your MD knowledge in historic analysis, and when/where to appropriately share that.

The Christmas truce is really wholesome but also sad to me. They were all having fun and playing games together for a day but then went straight back to fighting each other a few days later probably killing some that just a few days ago, they were just talking and laughing with each other.
A lot of the soldiers were rotated out or reassigned to other locations. Their superiors anticipated that a lot of them would refuse to fight men that they had befriended. Look up the song by Sabaton. And the Sabaton History episode about it as well.
18:03 That is actually a picture of the Canadian soldier Private Robert Lindsay Rogers. The reason he is smiling in that photo is because he survived getting shot in the neck by a german sniper.
I went to school with a lot of Armenians. A lot of their families went through the genocide. During a history when they mention it, almost half of all Armenian students raised their hands for having a family member part of the genocide.
Someone who should have really been on the list is Jiroemon Kimura. He was a Japanese man who was the last living World War I veteran. He was born in 1897 and served towards the end of the war in 1918 in the Imperial Japanese Army, leaving in 1921. He died in 2013 at the age of 116. Not only was he the very last verifiable living WWI veteran but he was also the last verifiable living man born in the 19th century and the oldest verifiable man in history when he died. This means that the last living veteran from a war that happened nearly 106 years ago died not even 11 years ago. Mind blowing to think about.
WW1 has such a creepy feeling. It’s hard to describe. I think the inner empath in me envisions how horrifying it must’ve been. All wars are scary, but imagine being in the first one to use tanks, automatics, chemical weapons. Not only was the war itself a mindf**k, but the weapons of war were probably a mental hurdle of its own. It just seems like such a dark and scary time compared to other wars.
idk about other countries but in canada people were running to go enlist when Britain joined (our status as an independent state was only really in between the 2 wars) a bunch of young boys pretended to be of age to be eligible. they had no idea the horrors they were getting themselves into, the torture of chemical weapons for one. thankfully plastic surgery being revolutionized helped some but even then ptsd was so unknown then too.
Well, I'm 31 now. When I was in school, the only foreign language offered was Spanish. Mind you, the school system I came out of is absolute garbage. It's rare to meet a bilingual American in most of this country because it's not used, and if it is it's Spanish. Mainly Central American Spanish, so it's not even the same as what you would hear in Europe.

Just watched the WW2 Iceberg Video. Great Stuff! I would say the video is perfectly composed. I would've guessed you had at least a million subscribers judging by the video quality.
i'm watching this a year later and i'm shocked that you only have 36k subscribers. i've watched two of your videos and there's so much work put into them and they’re super well done! i really liked the one you made on the mysteries of world war one, def one of the best iceberg videos i’ve seen
Amazing video! If you were interesting in continuing this series further, I think a Cold War Mysteries and Obscurities iceberg would be very interesting!
Dave Munger has a good video on the Gavrilo Princip thing. It's basically a myth. While Princip was actually waiting on that corner, he hadn't called off the assassination (actually, the mistake was that Franz Ferdinand's driver had accidentally turned down the original route where Princip was, instead of the new one) and he wasn't getting a sandwich (which wasn't even a part of the local cuisine at the time). That story apparently comes from a novel, and people misinterpreted the fictional aspect of that story as historical fact.
What I think is really interesting is that there is documentation of civil war veterans fighting in World War 1. The quick changes in technology and war tactics must have been insane to see.

I can’t remember where I learned this, but I remember reading reports of British pilots spotting an unidentified plane in the sky on multiple occasions. A few of these pilots said the person flying the plane was a woman dressed as a Valkyrie.

Regarding the hound of Mons - in Iraq and Afghanistan, packs of stray dogs would eat the dead or severely wounded. If the locals/insurgents didn't collect the bodies, which was often enough as they were usually in sectors of fire or assumed to be booby-trapped, then the stray dogs regarded them as a large meal. Soldiers who found themselves separated during patrols for a significant time (yes, soldiers occasionally screw up that bad) would occasionally report being stalked by the feral packs.
What a terrifying thought.....trained for war. Trained to be stalked by the human enemy.... Gets stalked in the desert by wild packs of dogs.....insane.
56:04 When it comes to the crucified soldier, one of the biggest key witnesses was a man by the name William Metcalf. An American fighting in the Canadian army and winner of the Victoria Cross ( England's highest military medal) who came across the body of the crucified soldier with his men first hand, stating he was close enough to see the Maple Leaf badges on the man's uniform and watching another man checking out the body. I think it's interesting that a VC winner had witnessed it first hand is all.
@@ColtTheWolf It happend often, men got trapped in barbed wire, they got thrown around and pinned by shells too. I cant see a situation where German soldiers feel the need to waste time and crucify a Canadian, the odds of the soldier being recovered would be high since death from crucifixion takes a while, then theyd have to contend with accusations of war crimes.
@@dosidicusgigas1376 Yep. Nobody has that sort of energy and there's no way commanding officers wouldn't stop that sort of behaviour. Especially given the religious nature of people those days, there's no way they'd be able to do that, it'd be seen as a mockery of Christianity and massively demoralising. Also consider the mud. How would they be able to hoist up while sliding around in such deep mud without being shot? They'd have to leave the trench and stand upright in plain sight of snipers to lift a crucified man up. Logistically and physically impossible. Your view makes sense, I agree with it entirely.
A little tidbit about the scuttling of the High Seas Fleet at Scapa Flow is that the British admirality was somewhat happy that the ships were ruined as it settled most debates about what to do with the ships.
Considering the sheer amount of goddamn politics it takes to decommission a semi-modern warship I believe it. The US navy still keeps a lot of battleships around for this exact reason. Although they do get some use as floating artillery divisions.

Hey love the iceberg but USS Cyclops was not a submarine. It was a type of ship called a Collier. It is often associated with the Bermuda triangle (which is a load of nonsense b/c ships sink everywhere all the time in higher rates than there anyway).

There was a story that a russian soldier got locked up inside a food basement of Osowiec Fortress(the same from the attack of the dead man) and stayed there for nearly 9 years when some polish people found him, because he lived in darkness for years, when leaving the basement, the sunlight blinded him, at least according to the polish newspaper of the time

The guy smiling with shell shock, wasnt actually experiencing ptsd from what i've read. He was talking to an officer in front of him when a sniper hit him in the neck. The bullet went straight through his neck without causing major damage and killed the officer in front of him. Hes sitting on the ground because he had to wait for 8 hours to be evacuated at night, and hes smiling because 1: he just barely made it out alive and 2: because thats what people did when on camera at that time. His eyes look weird because the cameras were bad in dim light back then.
Pvt Lindsay rogers of the 40th and 25th Canadian infantry battalion. He isn’t she’ll shocked, but this guy refuses to correct his misinformation until he sees a source (didn’t need one until someone corrects him, but go off) he’s smiling for the camera, as it was a big deal to be photographed in that era, and smiling was era appropriate. He’s also probably happy he’s not dead. But the video creator didn’t even know he was Canadian, let alone the actual story, yet refused to clarify. What an ass.
About the cyanide, it is volatile and sometimes neutralized by sugars, that may be sufficient to explain why Rasputin didn't die because of the poisoned cakes.

Shellshock is basically ptsd, from what I’ve read ptsd “didn’t exist” back then and shell shock was assumed to essentially be what we’d see as cte from explosions. Even with my lack of experience from being shot in the head I can guess you’re initial reaction only seconds later would still be a form of ptsd
29:26 if you also scale it for Earth's population differences between the two decades, the Spanish Flu was FAR more deadly. The final entry, "The Wild Men of No Man's Land" makes me think of the SCP 3456. Granted, those are described, one to one, as Nuckelavee. Even the described instances of soldiers disappearing into the ground are similar. While I personally don't believe Nuckelavee exist, they are still easily among the, if not the, most scary mythological beings.

We Canadians embodied the term "it ain't a war crime the first time."
And it’s only a war crime if you lose
That’s right friend you hungry buddy
Love hearing the horrors we inflicted on the Germans 😂
Fun fact about the Spanish Flu. It likely wasn’t as deadly as we are taught. In med school you learn about iatrogenic harm (which is when the treatment of an illness is actually causing the issue), and the Spanish flu is the case example.
In the western forces, Asprin was used to treat fever. Spanish flu caused fever and because of the fighting, fever was believed to not only be the deadly aspect, but also was the thing that incapacitated a soldier.
So they were issuing huge doses of Asprin in order to combat fever.
Well… overdose of Asprin causes fever… so many soldiers were getting fevers from Asprin overdose and then given more Asprin. But when they died of fever, (since that’s what kills you with the flu) they were chalked up as Spanish flu deaths as well.
It’s literally impossible to gauge how many deaths were from Asprin and how many from the Spanish flu, but the lethality rate was significantly less than thought. Not to mention battlefield and wartime conditions in general aren’t the best for treating regular flu outbreaks and this likely caused a more severe spread and therefore more Asprin use.
Doses you can find in military medical records are sometimes 100x higher than the LD50 known today.
I get your point, and I know doctors are scientists not sociologists, but DUUUUUDE. You must realize that we’re still in a potential pandemic “era,” and SARS regional epidemics have been busting out throughout the 21st century at a rate that makes me assume we aren’t done with this yet. I get the gist of your story - the “cure” could be worse than the disease. But if you know any non-scientists, you know that people conflate the deadliness of a disease to the individual with the spread of the disease as a system. The Flu Epidemic of 1917* was just as deadly as we thought from a public health perspective. I think you intentionally planted a seed to distrust COVID vax and treatment! I do not understand scientists who fight the social studies like this. We’re out here trying to teach people to listen to doctors, doctors are telling people that “woke history is lies.” Do you know why history changed so much? Scientific evidence!!! We use the tools you all give us to vastly improve accuracy in the story of our past, but then our historic truth challenges your wealth and you like your social status, so fuck everybody else, right?
*I am assuming you are a racist-leaning person, and most people you meet professionally will as well. You know better and I should not even have to hint at why “Spanish Flu” is a deranged name to use in 2024. Pull yourself together. And please remember that your MD only covers medical science. You are a good memorizer, but you’ll need to read a lot more to learn how to use your MD knowledge in historic analysis, and when/where to appropriately share that.
Hey would you wanna turn this into a UA-cam video? Bc I would watch it, 5 or 45 minutes doesn't matter, the Spanish flu is tragically misunderstood
18:39 I was gonna subscribe as soon as the video finished but when you made a They Might be Giants reference, I had to stop what I was doing and subscribe. Keep up the good work, buddy.
Idk there A LOT OF historical inaccuracies in this video like the Stab-In-The-Back Myth that he got COMPLETELY wrong.
@@VisibleLeon he sounds like a young man that is trying to make his mark in this harsh circus we call life. He may make a mistake every now and then. He may get the facts a little squirrelly sometimes. If he is given the right criticism, he will probably do better next time.
@@matthewcochran3325 Dawg he gets the most basic thing wrong like the false picture of the Associate of Mata Hari. In this picture was literally Crown Prince William the third.
However i do think you were very polite about it.
@@VisibleLeonyikes. Yeah, he needs to hit the books a little harder before he makes another video
The Christmas truce is really wholesome but also sad to me. They were all having fun and playing games together for a day but then went straight back to fighting each other a few days later probably killing some that just a few days ago, they were just talking and laughing with each other.
A lot of the soldiers were rotated out or reassigned to other locations. Their superiors anticipated that a lot of them would refuse to fight men that they had befriended.
Look up the song by Sabaton. And the Sabaton History episode about it as well.
@@Didymus20X6 that makes it a little better. Sadly lives were still lost but at least they didn't kill people they just made friends with.
@shawnshoptaugh4907you just described every war ever
18:03 That is actually a picture of the Canadian soldier Private Robert Lindsay Rogers. The reason he is smiling in that photo is because he survived getting shot in the neck by a german sniper.
Them WW1 Canadians really were a different breed
It was also a major deal to be on camera back then, that's why in a lot of photos everyone is smiling
And also Larry.
Yeah he died later in the war
@@miguel.s7729 I am aware
I went to school with a lot of Armenians. A lot of their families went through the genocide. During a history when they mention it, almost half of all Armenian students raised their hands for having a family member part of the genocide.
My grandmother had a friend who only herself and her mother somehow survived. Whole family gone
Armenian genocide isnt real
Someone who should have really been on the list is Jiroemon Kimura. He was a Japanese man who was the last living World War I veteran. He was born in 1897 and served towards the end of the war in 1918 in the Imperial Japanese Army, leaving in 1921. He died in 2013 at the age of 116. Not only was he the very last verifiable living WWI veteran but he was also the last verifiable living man born in the 19th century and the oldest verifiable man in history when he died. This means that the last living veteran from a war that happened nearly 106 years ago died not even 11 years ago. Mind blowing to think about.
WW1 has such a creepy feeling. It’s hard to describe. I think the inner empath in me envisions how horrifying it must’ve been. All wars are scary, but imagine being in the first one to use tanks, automatics, chemical weapons. Not only was the war itself a mindf**k, but the weapons of war were probably a mental hurdle of its own. It just seems like such a dark and scary time compared to other wars.
“Inner empath in me” fucking zoomers
Also the fact that as of now, nobody who served in ww1 is still alive
idk about other countries but in canada people were running to go enlist when Britain joined (our status as an independent state was only really in between the 2 wars) a bunch of young boys pretended to be of age to be eligible. they had no idea the horrors they were getting themselves into, the torture of chemical weapons for one. thankfully plastic surgery being revolutionized helped some but even then ptsd was so unknown then too.
Empathetic
you don’t have to be empathetic to understand the banality of evil.

As a german, hearing him butcher the red barons name is one of the most painful things imaginable

Well, I'm 31 now. When I was in school, the only foreign language offered was Spanish. Mind you, the school system I came out of is absolute garbage. It's rare to meet a bilingual American in most of this country because it's not used, and if it is it's Spanish. Mainly Central American Spanish, so it's not even the same as what you would hear in Europe.
@@extantfellow46The problem with that is that German words and names are pronounced exactly how they're written yet people still fuck up because english is legit confusing to pronounce itself
Also doesn't help that the J is a Y and the V is a F
As a Czech, hearing him butcher names of Edvard Beneš and the Czechoslovakin Republic, that must be one of the most painful things imaginable
Just watched the WW2 Iceberg Video. Great Stuff! I would say the video is perfectly composed. I would've guessed you had at least a million subscribers judging by the video quality.
Hopefully one day, thanks for watching!
@@tanman5123 If you keep up the good work you'll get there in no time. 👉👉❤️
i'm watching this a year later and i'm shocked that you only have 36k subscribers. i've watched two of your videos and there's so much work put into them and they’re super well done! i really liked the one you made on the mysteries of world war one, def one of the best iceberg videos i’ve seen
Thank you so much! Im so happy with how far I've came, and I have no plans to slow down.
Amazing video! If you were interesting in continuing this series further, I think a Cold War Mysteries and Obscurities iceberg would be very interesting!
Korean War too! There's so little out there in the public mind

Dave Munger has a good video on the Gavrilo Princip thing. It's basically a myth. While Princip was actually waiting on that corner, he hadn't called off the assassination (actually, the mistake was that Franz Ferdinand's driver had accidentally turned down the original route where Princip was, instead of the new one) and he wasn't getting a sandwich (which wasn't even a part of the local cuisine at the time).
That story apparently comes from a novel, and people misinterpreted the fictional aspect of that story as historical fact.
Finally someone with a lick of sense.

@@One-EyedCorvus I like this comment given the theme of the original post.
What I think is really interesting is that there is documentation of civil war veterans fighting in World War 1. The quick changes in technology and war tactics must have been insane to see.
Man imagine going through some of those battles, Antietam, Bull Run, Manassas, etc.... And then going on to fight in World War 1.
50 year difference, js. 15 yo in '65 would be 65 in '14.
@@thatlittlevoice6354it’s actually possible being that even at 13yo at the youngest, who made a career out of the military would be high ranking NCO/Officers if commissioned. That’s also assuming at the tail end of the Civil War
@@thatlittlevoice6354 yes 50 year difference but there are some books on these guys that really did see both sides. I’ll snag some titles if you’re interested. I think they are on audio books too if you’re working or whatever.
I can’t remember where I learned this, but I remember reading reports of British pilots spotting an unidentified plane in the sky on multiple occasions. A few of these pilots said the person flying the plane was a woman dressed as a Valkyrie.
First, are you related to the guy who plays in Aether Realm? Second, I wonder if you might be thinking of the Night Witches, a Russian unit of female pilots who flew outdated biplanes to do silent bomber runs in the Second War.
@@Didymus20X6why do you ask that? I just found one of their songs lol
Was excited when I saw your recent upload. I recently saw the iceberg on WW2 and it was really good.
Great video my man!!
Finally, a WW1 iceberg, I imagine more uncanny things happening in comparison to WW2.
This channel should blow up, the content is top notch

Rasputin died from DROWNING. Not the bullets, not the freezing temperature of the water. He was just unconscious when he was dumped in the river💀

bruh i keep accidentally finishing your videos 😂 i dont know why but youre just so like genuine its so enjoyable and calming to watch
Regarding the hound of Mons - in Iraq and Afghanistan, packs of stray dogs would eat the dead or severely wounded. If the locals/insurgents didn't collect the bodies, which was often enough as they were usually in sectors of fire or assumed to be booby-trapped, then the stray dogs regarded them as a large meal. Soldiers who found themselves separated during patrols for a significant time (yes, soldiers occasionally screw up that bad) would occasionally report being stalked by the feral packs.
What a terrifying thought.....trained for war. Trained to be stalked by the human enemy....
Gets stalked in the desert by wild packs of dogs.....insane.
Liked and subscribed, simply because of your reference at 18:36
Nice video too!
56:04 When it comes to the crucified soldier, one of the biggest key witnesses was a man by the name William Metcalf. An American fighting in the Canadian army and winner of the Victoria Cross ( England's highest military medal) who came across the body of the crucified soldier with his men first hand, stating he was close enough to see the Maple Leaf badges on the man's uniform and watching another man checking out the body. I think it's interesting that a VC winner had witnessed it first hand is all.
Considering what atrocities austro-hungarians and germans commited in Serbia at the start of the war, I wouldn't be surprised they crucified someone.
It is much more likely the soldier was pinned by shrapnel from a bomb than purposefully crucified
@@FearOfTheDarkS312Did you get this from the Passchendaele film? lol
@@ColtTheWolf It happend often, men got trapped in barbed wire, they got thrown around and pinned by shells too. I cant see a situation where German soldiers feel the need to waste time and crucify a Canadian, the odds of the soldier being recovered would be high since death from crucifixion takes a while, then theyd have to contend with accusations of war crimes.
@@dosidicusgigas1376 Yep. Nobody has that sort of energy and there's no way commanding officers wouldn't stop that sort of behaviour. Especially given the religious nature of people those days, there's no way they'd be able to do that, it'd be seen as a mockery of Christianity and massively demoralising. Also consider the mud. How would they be able to hoist up while sliding around in such deep mud without being shot? They'd have to leave the trench and stand upright in plain sight of snipers to lift a crucified man up. Logistically and physically impossible. Your view makes sense, I agree with it entirely.

Came across this channel because of the ww2 video, and I must say, I love your vids.
Keep up the good work!
A little tidbit about the scuttling of the High Seas Fleet at Scapa Flow is that the British admirality was somewhat happy that the ships were ruined as it settled most debates about what to do with the ships.
plus we got the scrap metal..
Considering the sheer amount of goddamn politics it takes to decommission a semi-modern warship I believe it. The US navy still keeps a lot of battleships around for this exact reason. Although they do get some use as floating artillery divisions.
Ive watched all 3 of your iceberg videos, would love a pt.2 for ww1. I dont see enough of them
Ive watched a few of his videos by now and its crazy the number of times he's said he didnt know what a word was and its a common english word that any native english speaker would know and my first thought is, how young is this guy and how can someone avoid coming across these words for so many years?
Bro just asked if "amongst" was a word. What the fuck
Dawg English from England is way different then American documents and he prolly hit most of his info from the us and British papers from the time
@@Elchinoalto I'm an American and I understood pretty much every word he didn't know
Chronically online
I don't know anything about him, but i assume that English might not be his first language

That They Might Be Giants reference was cheeky, just gotta remember that New York was once New Amsterdam
USS Cyclops wasn't actually a submarine-she was a collier. These are large vessels meant to supply and support other ships, including submarines.
@@amerifatcheeseburgerhe found out what scuttling is, look in the grand scheme or things it’s not that important.
@@chugachuga9242 Except it very much is because misinformation muddles and ruins history, and detracts from the sacrifices made during wartime.
Hey love the iceberg but USS Cyclops was not a submarine. It was a type of ship called a Collier. It is often associated with the Bermuda triangle (which is a load of nonsense b/c ships sink everywhere all the time in higher rates than there anyway). It's believed it may have been a victim of a process called ore liquifaction which has sunk and continues to sink ore carriers to this day.
39:41 My great great grandfather served in World War I and he told my grandmother which told me that every night he had to put all the covers on top of his face in the barracks like in the sleeping quarters area, so the rats wouldn’t run all over his face, and he did it until he died
There was a story that a russian soldier got locked up inside a food basement of Osowiec Fortress(the same from the attack of the dead man) and stayed there for nearly 9 years when some polish people found him, because he lived in darkness for years, when leaving the basement, the sunlight blinded him, at least according to the polish newspaper of the time
It's a popular legend in Poland and Russia but a urban legend
1:14:00 Drawing can be like a form of therapy. My most disturbing sketches have been from times when my mind was in a really dark place. Its almost like journaling, it gets it out of your mind and onto paper. Helps you process emotions.
I remember that there's a photo of a polish girl, whose family was killed in ww2, tasked with drawing a house. It was unrecognizable.
It feels like a lot of people either forget or don’t know that art therapy is an actual thing that’s encouraged but mental health professionals, whether it’s drawing, writing, knitting etc. I write, and honestly, the worse I’ve been the more I’ve written. Bad mental health can be amazing fuel for creativity, which is why the whole “I don’t want to be on antidepressants, what if I lose my sparkle?” mindset is a thing.

Lol, yeah I'm paused at 9:35 exactly, looking at the comments to see if anyone else caught it.
ik they seemed familiar
The guy smiling with shell shock, wasnt actually experiencing ptsd from what i've read. He was talking to an officer in front of him when a sniper hit him in the neck. The bullet went straight through his neck without causing major damage and killed the officer in front of him. Hes sitting on the ground because he had to wait for 8 hours to be evacuated at night, and hes smiling because 1: he just barely made it out alive and 2: because thats what people did when on camera at that time. His eyes look weird because the cameras were bad in dim light back then.
Pvt Lindsay rogers of the 40th and 25th Canadian infantry battalion. He isn’t she’ll shocked, but this guy refuses to correct his misinformation until he sees a source (didn’t need one until someone corrects him, but go off) he’s smiling for the camera, as it was a big deal to be photographed in that era, and smiling was era appropriate. He’s also probably happy he’s not dead. But the video creator didn’t even know he was Canadian, let alone the actual story, yet refused to clarify. What an ass.

The most famous picture of a shellshocked soldier is even of a shellshocked soldier. He was smiling because he got shot and survived.
There aren't mutually exclusive
Shellshock is basically ptsd, from what I’ve read ptsd “didn’t exist” back then and shell shock was assumed to essentially be what we’d see as cte from explosions. Even with my lack of experience from being shot in the head I can guess you’re initial reaction only seconds later would still be a form of ptsd

The final entry, "The Wild Men of No Man's Land" makes me think of the SCP 3456. Granted, those are described, one to one, as Nuckelavee.
Even the described instances of soldiers disappearing into the ground are similar. While I personally don't believe Nuckelavee exist, they are still easily among the, if not the, most scary mythological beings.
