"They will never expect it when we attack the same river with the same strategy for the 999th time!" -Luigi Cadorna
luc bos *General Melchet intensities*
luc bos Attacking something for the 12th time in the exact same place and exactly the same way would be a stupid move. No one would expect us to do such a foolish move and so, we shall do just that. We will surprise noone and everyone at the same time!
Briliant!
Evilsamar The 12th battle of the Isonzo was an austro-German assault and was a major victory, as oppose to cadorna's 11 failures.
Melchet: There is, however, one small problem.
Blackadder: That everyone always gets slaughtered in the first ten seconds?
"I mean I wouldn't it's not like I was surprised by a offensive that was prodicted in the pap- Oh" -Cadorna
7:14 he sure isn't skipping arm day
Putting those fappin' skills to the service of his country!
Who? Ludendorff?
Best show on youtube
Samwell Tarly can be seen at 3:23 trying to convince French soldiers to desert and come north fight the walkers! Could that be the real reason behind these mutinies ?
This deserves attention.
Golden
There real I've seen them! Sam go home your drunk!
blopop haha
You have not only maintained your commitment to the telling of the saga, you have improved your coverage of it. I am satisfied that someone, at least, is dedicated to presenting the historical dialectic in a methodical, fair, and even-handed, way. Great work, you lot.
And: "hi Flo!"
Never ceases to amaze; the sheer scope of this conflict that just dragged on, and on, and on.
On a scale from 19.9 to 20, how high is the major countries' war exhaustion ?
I didn't even know you could reach -4 Stability but somehow Austria-Hungary managed to do it.
21
Austria had a -6 -6 -6 -6 general with a +50% casualties trait, so I'm not surprised by their stability.
Duke of Lorraine Europa Universalis 4?
if Austria-Hungary is at -4, Russia is at -5. And we all know the party over there is just getting started.
Are we getting an Isonzo 11th battle?
I feel that 10 just doesn't seem enough.
Nah, surely Italian high command has realized its folly by now, right?... Guys? Where are you all going?
Tune in next week for the 1,000th Battle of the Isonzo
Operation Beach Party.
A terrifying engagement where the Germans crusher the English in both the volleyball and the surfing competition, all seemed lost for the English. That was until the Belgium army under the leadership of King Albert 1 engaged the central powers in a massive sand castle battle, the Germans found the fortification unbreakable. The crisis was averted.
Years after the war a British solder commented on that day "fun fun in the summer time, but for who... but for who.....
Dear Indy and Team, Can you elaborate a little more on how they trained animals for warfare? I find it difficult to believe such stories like cher ami, the bird that saved the lost battalion after it was shot and was critically wounded. How do you train a animal to fight, and to fight against its basic instincts?
Ed Garcia
Cher Ami is really understandable. Since she was wounded, she'd go somewhere she would associate with safety and comfort, which was her cage. Still really badass that she managed to do it with a bullet through the breast, missing one eye, and one leg hanging by its tendons.
in ww2, the Soviets tried using dogs strapped with satchel charges as tankbusters. The fundamental flaw was that dogs have a "pack" mentality, & would come to view the units they were deployed with as their pack. In the heat of battle the dogs would get scared & instead of charging the enemy would run back to their own men. the program killed more Russians than it ever did Germans before being completely scrapped. I know what you mean, it seems like animals could never be safely relied upon in war to perform any autonomous/semi-autonomous action, given their limited scope of perception.
Ed Garcia h
can you elaborate a lil more?
Animals can theoretically be bred and conditioned for a military role but the technology for that and an understanding of that has only recently become available. Back then animals would not be conditioned to perform a specific task but rather a specific task would be similar to one of their life functions. That's why messenger pigeons worked and suicide dogs didn't. Animals are similar to an autistic human. That's why it's always better to have a human or machine performing a task.
Indy. I have been leaning so much from this channel. Thank you for this service
This series is awesome! One of the best. Love the host and his name is the best
Luigi Cadorna want's to see a recap of the Battle of the Izonzo.
"If you don't win at first, try eleven more times." Master Strategist Cadorna, Luigi.
its his favorite rerun.
The world is weary of the war. But no one is weary of The Great War (channel).
I have problems imagining Ludendorf ever at a beach party, Hotzendorf definitely, that dude could party like it's 1899!
Will you talk about gas fans that were used to remove gas from trenches? Also will you guys be at Tank Fest 2018 at the Tank Museum? because I think they are driving World War One tanks
Nice visit to Bovington
Awesome planes in the background!
Isn't this thing over yet? I mean, it's been 3 years. We were promised it would be over by Christmas!!!!
-Jen
Better spend those diplo-points and buy it down before we get rebellions everywhere.
I am hoping The Great War crew or knowledgeable viewer can help me with this. When I was a kid in the 70's I used to attend a lot of gun shows with my father. There were always a few vendors who would have boxes of what looked like little 2.50" grey bombs. They were heavy for their size and had 4 tiny, sharp sheet metal fins at the tail. They were referred to as "yellow dogs". I was told that they were dumped out of planes over enemy trenches by the barrel full and had had enough inertia to peirce helmets. You could pick them up for about .50 cents each. I remember having a dozen or so at the time. Maybe the vendors were completely misinformed about these or were just referring to them by the wrong name but I can't find any info about them on line. Anyone familiar with these things?
they were called "lazy dogs" when i came across them. from what i understand they were manufactured during ww2 but not used until during vietnam on the ho chi min trail. though ive never come across any hard documentation to back this up. i still have 3-4.
the french (and probably others) used much more wicked looking ones during ww1 in exactly that manner.
mercoid The WWI ones were mostly called Flechettes, the French word for darts
Thank you all! Through your kind responses I was better able to research the "lazy dog" flechette. Apparently the ones I had were developed in the 50's and used in a very limited way in the 60's. They were deployed via canister. The idea originated and was employed during WWI by several nations, but the flechettes looked very different. Much longer. And yes, their ineffectiveness became clear very quickly as aerial bombs developed.
Thank you!
As an aviator I need that aircraft/aerodrome episode stat. I can't wait anymore!
The first episode filmed at the aerodrome will air late August.
awesome eindecker and sopwith camel in the background!
Thanks for the sum
Cant wait for videos on WW1 planes
Hi The Great War team, these are fantastic, long standing subscriber here coming back to it.
What would be really awesome is if you threaded all the eastern front, western front, Mesopotamian front, gallipoli front, serbian front... (you get the picture) into more narrative stories that can be followed. Not by making new content, just by using each of Indy's statements from regular episodes, perhaps with a date for context as a caption. I understand this would probably after November 2018 due to time constraints!
@7:25
Artillery shell cart. Those are the *types of things* to keep an eye out for when garage selling.
Dear Indy first let me say I'm a big fan and have been since the collab you did with Cody on Alternate History Hub and I think it's cool you help DICE with BF1. But anyway, I have a question for out of the trenches. What music was popular with entente and central powers during the war? -Greetings from New York!
Will hopefully talk about that at some point in the future, big topic.
How the guns on that Sopwith aren't firing at that Fokker is beyond me
well with the tail down the bullets would just fly over it anyway. also it so much outclasses the eindecker it probably feels sorry for the little guy.
Damn these men endured a lot much respect for them!
. . . and the summer passes without a single mention of Raymond Collishaw and the Black Flight.
Could you go into more detail in regards to the Army structure i.e. how many men are in a battalion/division/army etc.
What hanger is that? It looks like a museum near me in the states. Love this series, keep it up.
Hahaha you had to say "champing at the bit" again. I'll think of our conversation everytime you say it.
will you ever do a special on the royal newfoundland regiment love your show by the way
What will you guys do when the war is won?
Build a big wall, ready to win the next war quickly, because the Germans will definitely not invade via Belgium or anything for sure.
musicalaviator
I know that you're being facetious, but the Maginot Line was more about directing the enemy in a predictable direction than actually stopping them.
They just underestimated the ability of the German Army to get through the Ardennes.
Garret LeBuis
Understimated is quite understatement. No pum intended.
Boiled Potato new Chanel ww2

The Sedan - Meuse defenses where still not something to take to lightly. However, this is where Stuka's and German Air superiority made the difference and French tank -strategy- doctrine failed miserably at sucking the break-trough up. if the Meuse defenses would have held, the fight in the North might have stalled the Germans enough to bring the allies on a more even field (although German air power was the major force multiplier at play)
Indie always wears the same clothes. I think he washes them though because they always look clean.
Did any soldiers fight from the beginning of the war to the end without being wounded?
Chomping at the bit* is a term used for horses that can't wait to start riding/racing
Indy, In the episode about rare and obscure weapons of the great war, you mentioned the Pedersen Device and its planned use for the 1919 spring offensives. My question is what were the details for planned 1919 spring offensives? You're awesome and so is your channel, greetings from Kentucky.
billy Mitchells chief of staff (dont recall his name atm because mitchell took all the credit) came up with a bold plan to use the 1st infantry div as airborne troops to drop behind enemy lines. i dont know if the idea wouldve come to fruition as it was quite radical fpor the time.
during ww1 both sides had methods to automatically deploying the chutes of balloon observers as they jumped from their baskets, and the germans experimented with a similar smaller system for use from an aircraft.
and the 1st soviet "airborne" troops didnt even use parachutes, simply sliding off the wings trailing edge into deep (hopefully) snow from low altitude.
3:56 I see what petain did to boost moral
ikr, why that picture indeed..
I have no idea
The US Civil War also had trench warfare and an underground explosion during the siege of Richmond and Petersburg. Just look up the Battle of the Crater.
Nonamearisto Of course, trench and underground warfare is hundreds of years old, but it had never happened on such a scale, with explosions in France that could be heared in England
Take care
3:22 is that Samwell Tarly there? Do keep up Samwell!
Wow, never noticed that mole so much before.
Finland was briefly mentioned amongst all this, we'll meet at the marketplace.
I can't wait to find out who wins.
The Great War channel where do you guys get your photos and how do you make the photos bigger? Thank you!!!
Only days left now until the Great Fire of Thessaloniki
Hi Indy and team, here's a question you might address on Out of the Trenches. In my local paper (Winnipeg, Canada), they mentioned a submarine attack on the SS Belgian Prince on July 31st, 1917. They mentioned that the sailors were taken from the lifeboats, ordered to remove their lifebelts, and taken a few kilometers away. The submarine submerged, and only three sailors survived, 2 with hidden lifebelts and one who made it back to a piece of lifeboat. My question is, was the reporting at the time more propaganda and hyperbole, or was this really one of the worst atrocities in Germany's campaign of unrestricted submarine warfare? As always, everyone at the channel does a spectacular job!
I just have a question that just requires a simple answer. When footage of artillery is shown in any video, it seems just like a constant barrage without time in between to focus on another target. Was it common for field guns and other big guns to hit the same target over and over again? Great work on the show!
Peace,land and bread
Hear them whisper
Voices from the other side
Evilsamar Galipoli
hear them calling
former Foes, now friends, a'rest in side by side
You show a picture of a soldier in Giza, is there a video where you discuss the war in Egypt?
A question for out of the trenches, What tank did the Mark VIII drop from your original list for top 5 tanks?
i bet it was the whippet.
Any thoughts on the UA-cam Ten Minute Rule? Would it result in more ad revenue? Hope so!
Can you do an episode about the 87th Infantry Division During WWI?
I came to say hello, haven't been here for a while.
Dear Indi and team, I found a German metal its similar to a iron cross but it says 1914 on top then 1918 below so I was wondering if countries gave soldiers recognition for their service. Thanks for the great show! A Fellow Houstonian -Tyler F
I found the metal in my great grandfathers war chest as he served in Europe from 1917-1918 and wasn't sure of what to make of it
I got a question for out of the trenches. If the schlieffen plan worked and Germany got to Paris, would it have knocked France out of the war or at least be a contributing factor to that end?
Hey Indy, you do know that General Petain is pronounced "Pay-tan" and not "Pay-ton" don't you? I'm just saying
That Eindecker…
its like, so monoplane!
milcoll73 More like, monointeresting
@00:05 teeeheee Fok Em. Its on the grey plane to the right. Maybe a new t-shirt design? One ponders if that was planned.
My dogs name is Indy after my favorite host
On the Italian front did anyone in the Italian military think of trying to land on the Adriatic coast and attack the Austrian-Hungarians from two sides? I know Cadorna would be unlikely to think of this but somebody should have thought of this. Maybe someone in the Italian Navy.
Im the 47th viewer and thats special because no one else can be the 47th view
48th viewer
Cris py NO IM 48TH I WITH GET RUSSIA TO NUKE YOU IF YOU DONT ADMIT IT!
Riad al-Assad /MappingArm/ Ahem... Im 48th. Deal with it.
I am the first... To watch after the 120th viewer...
42nd is way cooler.
when italy is named there is 90% possibility that ?th battle of the isonzo river is named as well
Explosion underground how about the Battle of the Crater at Petersburg in the American Civil War
did the Different Slavic groups of the Austria-Hungary Empire do better on the Italian front since Russia was seen as the Slavs big brother but Italy was not a Slavic nation? would Slavic units from the AH empire desert on the Italian front vs the Russian Front? Stay Great!!! Viva la France!!!
When you remember soldiers get paid
Can you blame them for committing mutiny, no you can't.
Does the border war count as ww1
Say it like "pe-täin", not pet-aan, Indy... ;-)
Macedonia for Macedonians!
Eindekker!
I thought it was 'chomping at the bit'. What is champing?
Like a racer at the starting line, you're chomping at the bit,
you are here to find your purpose and a place to really fit
Yes I do get the majority of my information for life from my little pony songs...
If I recall correctly 'champing' is basically an older/outdated way of saying it. Might be that some places still hold to saying it 'champing'.
So what happens to this channel in 2019?
Probably do WWII since that would be the 80th anniversary. (assuming you start the war when Germany invaded Poland)
MortisLegio well this channel only covers ww1
I know. I was saying the people who run the channel would switch. They might keep the same channel, but their focus would switch.
paris treaty talks
I blame transcendentalism for how long WWI and the US Civil War went on. Too many people who opposed the wars were convinced that just thinking at the problem would change it.
something something, first
i saw you first
Raz0rking may I receive the 2nd spot or will it be as annoying as shouting first?
ferbthe2gadgetguy yeah, why not?
*BLAM*
"Something something, dark side
Something something, complete"
Yeah just throw men it'll work for sure
Really?
WE WILL TAKE JERUSALAM
Finnisch episode, when IS IT guna come out? (this question might seem retarded But whatever)
Fok.E.m
Spoiler alert! The Allies win!
The Allies? Do you mean the Central powers or the Entente powers?
yah the allies won ww2 not ww1
Indy,,, your body posture and swaying back and forth are getting a little corney and making you look unprofessional. Just sayin'
Nice green screen and annoying echo
