I Am a Soldier in the Trench Fighting the Great World War (WW1)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- It's the worst situation a soldier has ever had to fight an extended war. Days, weeks, and months spent in a wet, muddy trench, with shells from heavy artillery raining down day and night. The enemy waiting across no man's land isn't the only enemy that needs to be fought. Rats and lice spread disease and plague through the men and kills almost as many as the guns and bullets do. This is what life was really like for a soldier living in the trenches of World War 1. This video is inspired by true real life events.

Bear The Gamer they killed the rat and put it into the soup
Im_Derpy_ftw yep that was the joke
Uuuuu dark. I like it

i found this funnier than i should have
I am a Michael Wittmann, the Panzer ace
I am a Spanish Civil war volunteer (or a general of either side)
I am the last Neanderthal (or one of the last few thousands of humans during the 70000bc ice age)
I am a pirate (either modern or one during the golden age of piracy)
Hey, don't forget me. I'm still here.
I am Otto von Bismark, the Iron Chancellor
And I am Iron man.
Just kidding, jokes aside, this is a great list for future videos 👍
I am blue da ba di da ba die
I am I Am
Can we all just appreciate the amount of effort they put into these videos, and how just top quality and sometimes emotional they are.
I literally just finished watching a I Am video 10 mins ago and now another one!!!! Today is my day!
Alexander Nunez that’s lucky 🍀🎊
OH YEAH STEAVE IS GUNNA LIVE!!!
No one cares
@@error_1793 i can tell your that one guy nobody likes, and dont wanna hurt your feelings so everyone avoids you. But im here to tell you your hated enjoy.
Grammar po po weeeoooo weeeoooo! It is "an I Am video" ! Not "a I AM video"! 😂😂
Thank you so much for finally making a video about a soldier from the trenches in WWI. WWI is my favorite war and I am glad that you showed us a video that truly captured the us the horrors of that war. So much suffering.
I feel like they could've done a whole lot more to exemplify what no-man's-land was like, and also talked about the use of novel technology like poison gas, planes, illumination flares, artillery barrages, zeppelins, and armored tanks.
I just discovered this channel via a UA-cam recommendation. I've been been watching videos for 2 days. I can't seem to get enough of your content. Absolutely wonderful work, please keep it up.
The sad life of those soldiers lest we forget
But u only remember Britain and usa and France . You don't realise the indian, Australian and other colonized countries by them who gave more life than the British , French and Americans win

The correct term is "commonwealth"
@@teodorogerald oh ok bro
And sorry for bad english
@@tlpranav6668 dont forget the italians
Hey you should make one for D-DAY
As ether a german or american
I would like to see the perspective of a german soldier at a concentration camp
Tank Dempsey yes
I am a Wehrmacht soldier in the bunkers on Omaha beach.
Tank Dempsey Instant demonetization if they do that. UA-cam doesn’t like anything involving Nazi’s.
Im so glad that the soldier is still alive and still has his young voice to narrate his perspective to us
none of ww1 veterans are alive today
JTD55 joke?
obviously its a joke
Wow very de funny let me clap for you
@@Sirgo_07 A. It's a joke B. There are a few
Can we get "I am a German Stormtrooper fighting the Great War?"
*Charges with MP 18 and gets shot with trench gun*
Wait a second..
👍👍👍👍👍
yes pls

If you're going to use his poetry, then please cite him. The poem at 1:04 is called, "German Guns", by Pvt Baldrick
Ahh , yes a Blackadder refference , nice
"boom boom boom boom" is a poem? I thought it was a song by the Vengaboys
Gotta love Baldrick!
rcb0683 It doesn’t mean it was from it
Emperor Hirohito1928 lol it’s so funny because I didn’t realize it was a joke
It's so good to see that I AM actually takes video request
My teacher wanted us to make a WW1 project, this might come in handy.
While everyone wants a new video...
I, "want" to thank you, for your efforts in making these videos! ✌️
Massively underrated channel tbh. I can't wait until the animation "catches up" to general audience expectations because honestly, I can legit see this becoming an actual docuseries
Like most Americans, I thought little and cared even less about the Great War until I saw the 1917 film in January. Since then I’ve studied it and realized how serious it’s taken in Europe and even Australia and Canada compared to the states. The percentages of French and Englishmen lost per capita is similar to the percentages of Americans lost during the war between the states. Similarly, walking through any town or village in England, France, or Germany, you’ll find a monument to the war, just as how in the eastern and southern and midwestern US you’ll find a monument to those lost to the civil war.
Beyond that, the Great War doesn’t have as easy a narrative to follow as world war 2, the revolution, or the civil war. The leaders of those wars are so memorable, and they have clear beginning, middle, and ends.
Remember World War One. Remember history,
cv 33 yeah most Americans only care about the revolution, civil war, world war 2, and Vietnam
Not only England, but also the other countries in the UK. There were more men lost from Scotland than England and there for there is more monuments to remember them. May we remember them. All of them
This video helped me with my college history homework. I enjoyed hearing about this soldier's experience on the battlefield. Great video 👌🏾
sniper: Shoots a enemy
enemy: does not move
sniper: realises wifi is off
:sniper MMMMOOOOOOMMMMMMMmm
Did you steal that comment from a simple history video
lmaoooo 100% original definitely not stolen from simple history
yummy scummy BuT THeY DiDNT HaVE IntErNEt BaCk THeN?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?
@@nessygl ok mister ovious
Jaden Ali *obvious*
When alot of videos talk about the USA during the wars, it is nice to hear this from a brits view. Would also be really interesting to hear from say an Indian one too. Least we forget all who died. From both sides.
Yeah America came in later and claimed victory over the war when that just isn't true same with ww2
Yeah they helped but it was the allies who won both wars
What was Japan and Italy doing?
One million plus Indians soldiers fought the battles for British empire, in exchange of self rule post WW1. Which was, as we all know 'not honoured' by Brits.
@@theRAVEN1337 Most were recruited forcefully and some were already in the British Indian Army.
@@captaindeadpool7174 Indian army was the largest voluntary army in WWII. Nothing such as 'forced'.
I am, is hands down one of the best content creators out there.
Pretty sure it's owned by infographics
More about wars please this is truly amazing and it gives me an insight into the 1st world war from a 1st hand perspective.
I am: an Japanese soldier in the Pacific War
I am: ameircan soldier in vietnam
I am: WW2 soldier of any side or country in a major battle (el alamein would be cool german italian or allied).
Im an american troop in angola
Hell yes! I’ve been waiting for a new video
We want "I am ww2 soldier"
Ww1 was worse imo
Channel for Random Stuff definitely more brutal.
Hmmm japanese WW2 soldier?
bruh ice yep
THE COLD SAMURAI yes!!! I want either d day soldier or the pacific soldier
In my opinion this is one of the best channels on UA-cam. Great work 👍
Great work. Some ideas. A North Korean on Kim Il Sung's death. A Soviet soldier during World War 2. A soviet after Khrushchev's Secret Speech.
can you imagine how much your back is hurting from all that bending from those snipers
You should have said the bit about general Haig ordering the men to walk over no man's land and not run
I love all who ever makes these videos . Thank you for making my day every time I watch
glad you guys are posting more!
WW1: Im full of unnecessary Deaths!
Soviet union in 1941-1942: *Observe*

The message at the end is just to politely tell us that mr. Narrator-man didn't make it to the other side, God it must be terrifying to be doing that in person. My respects to all that were involved in any charge
Maybe: I am Lawrence of Arabia?
Omg yes
Yes! Please do it!

You definitely have to do hugh glass next, this guy is a legend
The soldiers are wearing 37 pattern battledress that was used in the 2nd world war and some have GERMAN K98K Pouches
I like your videos keep it up :3
You should do “i am a 9/11 survivor”
Now THIS is the REAL D-Day
How is this channel doesn’t have more subs
Interesting format
2:50 lmao he put m67 grenades in a ww1 setting. Funny guy
I can't believe they don't have more subscribers
nice exploding noise 1:02 LOL
Hey... been waiting for like 2 years for new videos. Hope you return
Make one for Stalingrad the battle that almost killed 2,000,000
Or Berlin
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
I love WW1 animations there not enough of them. In this small world
When your not early
truly hell for those who fought in it
2:34
“I know I’m 19 and still have a baby face.”
*S A M E*
This videos are great.
103 anniversary of the end of the horrific WW1 on November 11 and sadly wouldn't be the last world war until 1945. Thanks God our grandparents and great grandparents served so we don't have to but war is bad and hoping none of our family members have to go through this! God rest them all in peace! 🙏🎖️
jokes aside tho, honor to those who fought for us in the war :(
One the first comments btw so good to see this video after some time
Someone: Who are you!?
I am: *y e s*
I bet some are here because of Sabaton's The Great War album.
Hopefully they can do I Am: a driver of the first tank, Francis Pegahmagabow, a devil dog at Bellaeu Wood, Lawrence of Arabia, a Russian soldier at Osowiec (now that I love to see), so on. Of course let's hope I Am can do more interesting figures.
lovely video
This is better than watching a documentary
These are always good aslong as the voices and accents are proper
Please do a Alcatraz I am story love your channel
0:35 the way they're holding their rifles is oddly modern
I too hold my Enfield by its built-in pistol grip in low ready position.
Also at 2:50 the "Mills Bombs" are M67 frags.
@@volt1068 these guys know nothing about World War One. They probably studied it through Battlefield One
@@babyinuyasha In an earlier video I was recommended from this channel it showed a member of the 3rd Inf. take part in an airborne drop over Anzio, Italy in the Audie Murphy video. Audie had no airborne experience whatsoever, and there were no Airborne landings over Anzio. Also in that same video, a Soldier loaded the M1 Garand as if they where swapping magazines.
I was so sad when you stopped posting
Heres an idea as ANZAC is coming up you should make one about the ANZAC's during their tour in Gallipoli. :)
Do “I am Richard Jewell”
Can u do some more ww2 stories and your soooooooo good keep making vidz
I like the graphics bro
Share this vid guys we need to give him moral
We need more bring the channel back plz
Can you do I'm a german panzer ace of ww2? That will be so cool to watch🇵🇭💖
5+4 in English.
Soldiers: who are we fighting? Why are we on the trench?
General: To fight rats of course..
I know you made a video about the white death but i want to see one about Carlos hathcock the white feather
A tinge of 1917 movie is what i felt.
How the hell did they have time to dig these intricate trenches BY HAND in enemy territory? 😕
World war 1 never get any recognition. Everything was world war 2 and some middle east war. World war 1 is one of the most terrifying experience for young enlisted from 15-20 something like that i heard. A lot of this kids didn't knew what they were signed up for. Some came back home traumatized or ended up dead. Even worse, Spanish flu were there during that times. Literally killed 1 millions of people even soldiers in the Great War.
I am glad that the movie 1917 came in. It was one of the best ww1 movie i ever watched. The cinematography, Wayfaring stranger singer and One take film. It was not a movie, it was like a marathon.
