Ur a legend nick
I have question what was the song at the end?
Question when are we going to see the metal detecting video with the scary find Nick because it’s has be 5 to 3 years since you told us about it and can we see more WWI videos
How do you learn playng song's on harmonika?
Did you ever get that mg-42 that the armored car ran over fixed? In the totally historically accurate battle of Borlo in Belgium.
My great grandfather was a Hungarian soldier in the Austro-Hungarian army. Born in 1873, Imre Csibertics completed the required military service as a one-year volunteer around 1905. at the 17th Army Infantry Regiment in Székesfehérvár. He then became a reserve lieutenant, but was retired "after performing his duties, without retaining his rank, at his own request." He was reactivated in the war as a uprising lieutenant, and from February 1915 he was a lieutenant at the 21st Infantry Regiment in Cluj. In May 1918 he was promoted to an uprising captain. He received the Bronze Military Medal of Merit in July, when the 13 / III. he was subordinated to an uprising battalion.
Wow, that's very interesting!! Thank you for sharing, that's awesome!!
When I was a kid in the 1960s my mother was an antique dealer. We used to go to this place where she bought stuff for resale. It was a gigantic warehouse type building that was crammed full of almost anything you could imagine: plates, furniture, books, etc. The owner would travel to Europe and buy large crates of stuff. I used to walk around while my mother was shopping. In the far corner of the place was where the unusual stuff was that most people had no interest in. I recall finding a large crate, maybe 10 feet long and 5 feet high just full of helmets. I distinctly remember a huge (to me) WW1 German stahlhelm in there that I wanted but my mother wouldn't buy it. If only she had!
You know it’s a great day when history secrets uploads!!
Yeah 100%
fr
Yea
Funnily enough, yes, that’s true.
So true!!
This makes me think a ww1 trench video is coming sooner than later...
I like your content man i subbed
@@YellingRebReenacting why thank you very much I appreciate ya!
I get that feeling too 😄
@@yellingyank1862 no problem!
It's always a good day when History Secrets posts another video.
19:26 Actually the amount of head wounds increased, this perplexed the top brass until it was quickly understood that the reason the head injuries were increasing was because previously fatal wounds were being reduced to survivable injuries. It's very similar to the case of WW2 Aeroplanes being up armoured on the places where returning planes had less damage, as it was clear that the reason they were returning was because they were not damaged on the vulnerable areas. Just something interesting to point out.
My moms side is related to a WW1 veteran. He was in the 151st infantry and lived through the whole war and survived. You did an awesome representation my friend.🤙
Talking about the piping on the uniforms. It’s really interesting how it changes throughout the years during the previous wars before WW1. I do Civil War reenacting and Red Represents Artillery, Blue For Infantry, Yellow for Cavalry, Black for Militia and Infantry. And I have a Blue Hat cord for my English Import Slouch hat to represent infantry
Yeah oddly enough after the civil war in the late 1880s the US Army changed the infantry to white and cavalry to yellow. Unsure when it was reverted
@@BobGeanis I believe was around the 1880s yes. Because it seems like in almost all the wars in the 1870s-1890s only minor things were changed in the US Army uniforms. Like the blue tunics and brown trousers of the 1890s and the famous yellow handkerchiefs of the cavalry especially during the Span-Am War
I renact the 16th Michigan and 114th Pennsylvania
@@westernstudios2484 I reenact with the 2nd Maryland Infantry
Do you know it’s a great thing to upload a video every for five months😂😂 and that particular video deserves 100 million subscribers because it’s so good❤❤
that opening music was outrageously whimsical
I WAS NEEDING THIS VIDEO FOR SO LONG THANK YOU
My great grandad was a vickers gunner at the Somme, he was gassed and blown up but still survived, very proud of him, rest up all the fallen soldiers ✝️
Cool uniform, I can tell that you’ve done very good research
My great-great-grandfather (grandfathers grandfather) was an American surgeon who served on the western front with the artillery divisions, he wouldn’t usually visit the front line trenches but he would sometimes have to venture out there to pick up wounded or dead
Hey Nick, you don’t know how much you have changed my life. When I saw one of your videos back in 2018, it sparked something in me. It sparked a passion for WW2. Ever since 2018 I have been collecting military items and Im now a junior partner at a business that sells WW2 items. Im currently getting ready to board a plane to fly to France for the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings. Thank you so much for all that you do. I love your videos so much.
Sincerely,
Philip (Your number 1 fan)
Cool uniform! Also nice video as always
"I have an idea- Let's leave." Wasn't expecting that one
Amazing video as always baby! Great work ❤️ I’m so proud of you!!!
Thank you baby, can't wait to see you soon!! ❤
Great Video Nick awsome! Nice to see some different Videos of WW1!
Hi nick nice see you again i happy see you i record your video
You put lots of effort in your videos which I don’t see much in any other UA-camrs like you. It’s really great to see these uniforms. Great job! ❤
This is genuinely the video I have been waiting for! Ever since the unboxing of that pre-war German rifle and the unboxing of your kit!
That “Why!” 17:34 Sounded very thoughtful
Hey Nick! I’ve been watching your videos since you started and wow how a journey it’s been, thank you for inspiring me for learning history and taking part in reenacting!
Wat een toffe video weer,
Zoals altijd weer een 10/10 video van nick.
Ga zo door man!
So glad to see it all come together; I remember seeing the video where you had just bought it. Looked great nick!
My great grandfather fought in world war 1.
He lived in 'Elsass Lothringen' and was force recruited by the germans.
He had two horses, the big ones. 'Ardenner' amd for the german army he was used to deliver food to the front.
Later, during the battle of verdun, he was send with supplies to one of the forts, when he arrived, the fort was already taken by the french army.
They, than recruited him to do the same job, just in a french uniform.
During the war now he switched side nearly dayli and he had afrench helmet, german uniform and frensh shoes.
He never used a weapon because he refused to kill people. And later, for him it was not important which side was inside the forts. He delivered food for the hungry soldiers, and both sides accepted his role and he was not attacked by any side. He was called the 'Wasserträger' by the germans and like this, he survived ww1 without killing anyone.
Seriously Nick, your content brings me nothing but pure joy. It is seriously great quality and extremely entertaining. Thanks!
I live in southen Denmark (Sønderjyland) that was under German rule from 1864-1920 it's really important to learn the history of the danish minded men who fought and died on German side without them having a choice. 26.000 danish minded soldiers fought for the germans where only 20.000 made it home.
I'm polish. My family mostly comes from the areas near and around Kraków, which was part of Austro-Hungary at the time of the 1st World War. My great grandfather served in the A-H army and joined the war around 1917 if I remember correctly. He survived the war and lived a long life afterwards.
Really enjoyed the video mate can't wait for the next one
love the videos Nick, I love how you explain literally everything, and keep history alive.
Trench video?
Wow! Great video i love your ww1 impression. And I also loved the
' I have an idear, lets leave ' ending but nice to see another video from the western front.
GREETINGS from Denmark
I feel very happy when nick uploads a new video
I have mostly a 1917 impression. I need to replace my blouse and modify my belt to fit my waist. Unfortunately, where I live it's too hot to wear a lot of the time
Hope you keep uploading this is always a quick history lesson
I got a great great uncle who fought for the Anzac In ww1 and was even in the Gallipoli campaign and was wounded
Always great and informative videos. Thank You so much!
I have been watching for a long time and you never fail to make a banger!!!
The bread bag strap reminds me of my impression
Nice looking uniform and equipment. Thank you for making these interesting history videos
Wonderful video! Hopefully when the weather is colder, you can show us the overcoat as well. One more thing to add, will you also include the halsbinde neck band with this impression?
Another amazing video
Great vid!
Rest in peace my extended family who fought for the Fatherland in the great war.
Wilhelm Friedrich born December 11, 1880. Kill in action on the 26 of Aug. 1917
Friedrich born September 5, 1884. Kill in action on July 28 1918 in France.
Johann Gottfried born August 6, 1886. Went missing in action on the 30 of August 1914.
All three brothers never to return back home
-Love from your American cousin.
Just know that your videos are the reason im getting early-war German WW2 repro and vintage gear.
Hello nick you might not upload often but when you do you make bangers, You are my fav youtuber. Greetings from Denmark
History Secrets, secretly dropped this video and surprised me. I like these old uniforms, have my grandpa's wwll uniform, and the wool it is made from feels like it would be scratchy and hot. Thanks for taking one for the team and getting all kitted out for us, know you were burning up, especially with the wool wrap around your legs. I hope now that the weather is nice, you will put out more video's. You do such a good job editing everything together. I like watching you restore everything, you make everything look correct, . I hope you get an old wwll vehicle to restore, it would be great with the collection of other stuff you have. The jeeps are actually not that expensive to restore if you get one with a good frame, and decent body. They sell parts that are NOS in the UK, and the US, plus almost any new part you might need. I'm restoring a 54 m38a1 that was never road titled, so it is pretty solid, and the 24 volt wiring and fording parts are still intact. I have to sand it down, because the guy who bought it from the governot auction painted the exterior a dark burgundy. Thankfully the original olive drab inside and under the hood wasn't painted. They left thousands everywhere they fought, and they are very simple to work on, would be great to see you get one to restore for the channel. Thanks for the video, G-d bless.
Very cool hope you post more
You know its a great day when Nick uploads! Thank you so much for everything you have done for me! I honestly love history because of you. You have inspired me to make my channel. I am currently doing a 1916 German impression and I am in 10th Va doing a CSA impression in the United States Of America! Thank you for everything you do and never stop!
God Bless!!
Cool video man, love to see when you post
Very nice!
I would love more ww1 content
A bit of a correction for the shoulder boards, the shoulderboards color varied between multiple colors, those colors being white, red, blue, yellow and green. These colors were not for branch distinction but rather corp distinction, so if i was apart of the III corps, mine would be red piped, or if i was in the XXI corps, it'd be green.
Yesss a new video and Nick are you going to Overloon Militracks this year?
Leuke video weer!
It's been so long since I've seen you make a video
Finally this is very nice thank you for posting
Incredible impression! Love it!
I was also wondering if you would ever consider making something like a discord server for your community?
nice video would love to see more ww1 videos
It’s always a good day when you post
I'm happy to hear that!!
I like the music you make using the harmonica
the vid we all have been waiting for
Hey Nick, just wanted to say I have been a subscriber for around two years now and I always watch your videos and they always make my day, I have a similar Wehrmacht uniform to you and I wish you the best of luck. Liebe aus der U.K.
Very nicley played there in the beginning!

Great ww1 impression. I recently had the honor to restore a few decaying and rusted ww1 items, which all turned out great. As always loved the video.
That’s the best sponsor ever and great video HS
Prubens Gloria on the harmonica nice.

Amazing when I watched the original unboxing video it inspired me to start a ww1 impression ❤
Looking Forward to another spending the night in the trench vid
how amazing this makes my day
Hi Nicky good when you post
I love your videos
Mooi collectie man ik dacht altijd dat jij meer van de tweede wereldoorlog was recpect jonge eerste wereldoorlog heel veel geschiedenis groetjes van de Veluwe ga zo door maatje
My great grandpa Matthew Lewis, he was an American soldier that served in ww1. I've always had a fascination about ww1.
my great grandfather he was a French officer in both world wars
Right when im getting back in my WW1 phase you are too. Love from Slovenia!❤
Exited for the video😊😊
Are there going to be anymore Back garden trench videos coming? I always enjoy those videos. Maybe a WW1 theme one for a change?
The legend uploaded!
nice video A few days ago I bought an original Prussian belt buckle in perfect condition, perfect for reenactment
5:52 The gemaschen (putties) were primiarly used for the muscles when for long marches and combat so they would move as much.
Nice!
nice uniform and like your video s
I love your Videos
The French soldiers in ww1 early on saw the helmet as a nuceince because after it was introduced head wounds increased by a large amount. This was actually because more survived shrapnel damage , but the French mistook this as the helmet being the issue .
Hey nick, I have a question. Would you ever do a ww1 reenactment? Do they have them where you live at?
Nice video HS , love your videos keep up the great content 😀😀🥲
My great,great grandfather was a major in the British infantry he fought in the Somme and during the Somme he got a peace of shrapnel in his head and with a lot of operations and time in hospital he recovered and had a peaceful life after his Service.
Thank you for watching!!
@@WW2_X2Wow, that's some very interesting family history!!! Happy to hear that he was able to have a peaceful life after the war!
Also thanks for giving the info about my ancestry website. I decided to get it I have now learnt a lot more about him very pleased with the website. Definitely would recommend.👍👍
Actually the original ammo pouches could fit 4 clips of 5 rounds in each compartment so in total you could carry as much as 120 rounds and 5 in your rifle. Also there was a trench magazine or graben magazin available where you could fit around 20 round I guess.
Also great work I love that you also get into ww1.
Hi nick
Great impression
Yes. More World War I videos please.
I wore my jackboots for a little while at work and received lots of compliments and questions about them.
I love the impression very authentic!! ❤️🤌🏼👍🏼
Thank you!!
