German officers and NCOs would start to experiment with new assault tactics.
This would lead to the creation of elite ‘Stormtroopers’ or Sturmtruppen who would spearhead the German offensive of march 1918 known as ‘Kaiserschlacht’

Jägers led the way, the pioneers would join the fray
Initiative gained, advancement sustained
Lead through direct command, as they're advancing through the land
Encircling their flanks, and ravage their ranks
Expose their reinforcements, destroying their lines
New doctrine in combat aligns
Infantry attacks, exposing the cracks
New combat ideals, on the Kaiserschlacht's fields
Strike at zero hour

@@yesir6870 shut up
The rifle of choice for the Stormtrooper was the Kar98AZ, shorter than the standard Gewehr 98 and better for close combat.
Simple History Are there any other pros and cons than close combat?
Simple History but the gewerh 98 is sniper fifle like in bf1
The k98 is a bolt action rifle yes, but that was standard during WW1

And these Storm troopers could actually hit their targets.
ComradeBucket well if they actually hit their targets(Star Wars) then their goes the movie. Imagine if Luke got killed by a stormtrooper. Their goes a main character
@@evan9759
Yep, good thing Star Wars stormtroopers are absolute trash. Otherwise we wouldn't have gotten sequels.
@@kaltsssit I read some die hard fans theory. In the story they were tasked to miss Luke, otherwise he had be very dead
@@maxmuller8633 That's not just a theory. We see Tarkin talking to Vader before the battle of Yavin about how he thought Vader's plan of letting them escape so they could track them to the rebel base was risky.

"the myth of the great war" is a fantastic book about German tactics and overall effectiveness of their infantry.
"You are the finest men, handpicked from the best of the armies: Stormtroopers! And today, you will bring the British to their knees!"
-German Officer speech on St Quentin Scar map of Battlefield 1, March 21st 1918.
Rikka Takanashi pfp. Like your style. Also, I wonder if that was accurate
Thank you Lucas films for ruining the term storm trooper
I do not see how. Star Wars stomtroopers were pretty badass, and they missed mostly because they were told to. Now, They couldn't kill the main characters as they have plot armor.
That Strange Guy nice!
Well their primary function on the battlefield was to storm enemy bases, not with elite shock troops mind you but with wave after wave of men because the Empire has so many soldiers they don't really care about high loses. I would say they are pretty well named.

you failed to mention that the majority of the stormtroopers were handpicked elite jägers, they had to be young and unmarried.
För konung och fosterland They can't mention everything in one video.Especially when they're constantly working around the clock.
För konung och fosterland I also heard they had to be small wirey guys that could run for long distances and fast compared to a bigger slower body

Za Kaiser should take that bastard Lucas to court!
I remember watching "The Lost Battalion" in high school, as part of history class. I forget when exactly in the movie this happened, but I do remember that, when one of the German generals quietly, coldly ordered "Send in the stormtroopers," my jaw dropped.
At the time, I was--and still am--a huge Star Wars fan. I vaguely knew the Star Wars stormtroopers were based on real German soldiers, but having said that, I remember thinking "Oh my God, what *is* a real stormtrooper, who were these guys?"
And then when they showed up wielding flamethrowers and machine guns, I was awestruck. Star Wars wishes their stormtroopers were half as badass as the real ones!

The Germans shouldn’t have costed everything in the treaty of Versailles the Austro-Hungarians started the war
Germany didn't start WWI but because of Otto's unification of Germany 50 years earlier central Europe was a powder keg and Wilhelm II was playing with matches. Austria declared war on Serbia because of the assassination, but Germany was already wanting a fight to expand the Reich.
Serbia started the first world war.
@roste Jood also the Germans were building a Navy that could rival the royal navy, they didn't like the idea of a superpower so close to them that could invade them at any moment
@99 Sogar unter solchen Videos findet man euch Spinner. Ich weiß jetzt aber nicht, ob ich das witzig oder traurig finden soll.

Hey simple history,
You know I was dreaming of becoming a history teacher.
Your videos inspires me.
When the time come that I become a teacher. I'll SHOW YOUR VIDS TO MY STUDENTS.
I wish you're gonna make more vids about history. I admire your channel so much.
Fun fact that nobody seems to understand: Flametroopers did not wear gas masks in combat. They would use their gas masks just like any other soldier, (when gas was present). This is a HUGE misconception that flametroopers would wear gas masks, but it was actually pretty rare to see one in a gas mask whilst using his flamethrower. A more accurate depiction of soldiers wearing gas masks would be the German soldiers in the Second World War that recieved Panzerschreck launchers (which were very rare, and also an experimental prototype that was never launched into production due to economical complications at the end of the war), which required the soldier wear a gas mask and gloves while operating. But literally, flametroopers did not wear gas masks like they are depicted to.
I didn’t know that, that’s really interesting
"They're calling them 'Stormtroopers'. Jerry's best!"

"Princes of the trenches," I like that.
"filthy peasants, get off my land!!!"
One thing that didn’t make it into your video that I think is important to keep in mind, is that by the end of 1918 many sturmtruppen units were almost completely wiped out. The sturmstruppen of the Kaiserschlact suffered horrendous casualties, one of the reason many of the later operations failed is many Sturmtruppen units were reduced to skeleton paper units filled with wounded and exhausted men.
I love your videos! Great animations and good, short explanations!

That's actually true, considering Erwin Rommel was part of the Stormtroopers during WW1 and had adapted their tactics into the Blitzkrieg in WW2.
At least they could hit their target

One big reason I love Star Wars is how much it feels like a space ww2 movie I know this a a ww1 video but as the video said there were stormtroopers in ww2 but it’s amazing how Star Wars feels like ww2 with the troopers, some of the helmets, and guns look very similar to ww2 weaponry
also look at Death Korps of Krieg & Armageddon steel legion of warhammer 40k in case you didnt know,
Germans:we have stoormtropper
British:We combined a Naval gun and a tractor
1:11 the best animation sequnce makes this scene look awesome!

These guys are the original inspiration for Imperial Stormtroopers. At least these guys can shoot better than their fictional Star Wars counterparts. :)
