"Wow he's been a fan for over a hundred years" dammit indy. Take this like.
Hope he's been a contributor all that time too
alec Quite persistent, aren't I?
Jan Wacławik quite. Nothing wrong with that.
That one fan who watched the Great War for 100+ years, before it was cool...
Fun thing is that I can never get enough.
WW1 allied pilots logic : whatever happens, kill Hermann Göring
WW2 allied bombing logic : whatever happens, DON'T kill Hermann Göring
lol yeah was doing a better job destroying the luffwaffe then the allied airforce combine !
It´s Hermann.
Later changed to Meyer.
PANKI_7 they used AT mines
The FGM-148 Javelin startet production 1996 ;-P
I would like to say that even though field guns were far more effective than flamethrowers in range, the same could not exactly be said by the damage they created to a tank. Unlike more modern flamethrowers which used a gasoline based fuel, the Germans used a variety of oil mixtures. This being said, the oil wouldn’t simply evaporate like gasoline, but rather leak and spill and splash, hence the term “Liquid Fire”. Bernhard Reddemann (the commander of the German Guards Reserve Pioneers) had extensively researched how his pioneers could utilize flamethrowers against tanks. So much so that reports even indicated that he had sat inside of a captured tank along with several other chief of staff to see what would happen if a flamethrower attacked it. Almost immediately they had to evacuate because the flames (even with the vision ports shut) seeped through every nick and cranny and eventually engulfed the interior. Bernhard and the others barely escaped with their lives. Seeing how effective the flamethrower was against the tank, he stated that flamethrowers can and will be used to combat tanks if necessary, but ONLY from the front. This method has been photographed, documented, and proven to be even more effective than say a Tankgewehr. So next to artillery, flamethrowers were a primary anti-tank tactic.
It´s Hermann Göring, later Meyer after the RAF bombed Berlin in WW2.
You madman! what have you done.
Also, we now have to guess who's playing Heart of Iron 4 in the crew.
Also known as Goering, due to wartime shortages of umlauts
Herr Meyer....if you please....only HE decided who was a jew.
Holy flying flaming crap, Indy answered my question!
And totally wrecked Your name ;)
Szopen715 Yes, he totally butchered that, but I don't mind that. I'm too excited. No wonder Indy mispronounced a Polish name wrong, him being American and all.
The chair of wisdom
The last time I was this early the Tsar was still in power.
I've been watching this series for about half a year at this point and I finally got a question I consider worth asking, three actually.
1) In one Out of the Trenches you said you had artillery shell art. Could you show said art and, if possible, give information concerning where the shells were used?
2) What would you likely be doing one hundred years ago if you were alive back in the Great War?
3) Please describe WW1 as if it were a bar fight?
Secret 4th question) which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Keep up the great work. I'm sure you never get enough of that phrase.
WOW, I too always wondered why Indy had that caltrop on his desk. A Dark Age weapon along side tanks, planes and machine guns, crazy
"Its not creepy at all".... Whatever you say Indy
I am very glad that people ask more about German and Austrian tactics because they are not that much covered in your ordi ary documentary in comparison to Commonwealth tactics and French tactics
"not creepy at all" :D
Omg finally! Random episode click and I learn what those spikes are. Injave been wondering since day 1
Caltrops.
I love this channel :)
Peter Kilduff wrote a very good book about Goering's flying career in WWI. Apperently he was already an untrustworthy bully in those days, including when it came to claiming kills.
Is there a chance you will do an episode about Maira Skłodowska-Curie and her role in WW1?
She did great work setting up her mobile X-Ray units.
I have a question for out of the trenches. In ww2 American soldiers were given booklets about the place they were stationed in. Did any nations in ww1 give their soldiers booklets like these.
"Gulaschkanone" has to be the most awesome name for a field kitchen.
you are so fluent and so expert, well done indeed!
Great video 👍🏼 as always.
Thank you .
Let me tell you... As an American infantryman who during the Cold War trained heavily to hunt and destroy Soviet and Warsaw Pact armored forces, it was never easy to go after heavy tanks...
Very interesting as usual👌🏼
Huge fan of the great war cant wait for when/if you guys do ww2 TimeGhost...I would reccomend Simple History to help out with the project if needed 😎😊
+Dragon Dimosthenis They said that they will start this September
Another fine and well researched segment. I'm still amazed by the number of ways to cause harm to both man and beast. War is indeed hell.
Going off of the anti tank question:
Would any country use fast-moving cavalry to take out tanks?
Finally at the current video, now i can subscribe
Keep'm coming Indy!
4:48 lol the captions truly did their best
I love your content, and the idea of going week by week of the war is a creative and fresh way to talk about history, but what is your plan for when the war ends? (Out Of the Trenches)
I really hope they do the same kind of videos for WW2.
The crews and indys work is excellent
Last time I was this early there were no poppies in Flanders Field.
The subtitle question marks on German terms are so Funny and little comments.
What a nice monday
Caltrops!
Love,
David
The German high command tended to give the command of Jastas to regular army officers, and the majority of flying aces were reserve officers.
This would really be a factor in who got to command a Jagdgeschwader (fighter wing, of several Jastas grouped together).
You have to remember, that before Herman Göring, JG.1 was commanded by Hauptmann Wilhelm Reinhard. Reinhard took over JG.1 upon von Richthofen's death, and only had 12 aerial victories at the time. By the time of Reinhard's death in a flying accident at the manufacturers fighter competition (see the movie Blue Max, the ending is based on what happened to Reinhard), he had 20 kills and still hadn't been awarded the Blue Max yet.
So when Göring took over JG.1 with 21 kills and a Blue Max around his neck, they thought JG.1 was getting an upgrade. Turns out not to be the case, as Göring's arthritis, wounds, and probably PTSD were affecting him greatly by this time. Göring only scored 1 kill as head of JG.1 thru the end of the war, and really didn't do much flying.
There is the time when, on 18 July 1918, a formation of French planes appeared overhead, and Göring ordered his pilots not to take off and engage (perhaps due to fuel shortages).
Vizefeldwebel Willi Gabriel disobeyed and climbed into his Fokker D.VII and took off, shooting down 3 of the French. Upon landing, Göring reprimanded Gabriel and ordered him not to take off without permission.
Hours later, another French formation appeared overhead, with Gabriel once again taking off and ended up shooting down another Frenchman, for 4 kills in one day.
Göring posted him out of the squadron (Jasta 11) for disobeying orders, and Gabriel never flew in combat again, ending the war with 11 kills.
If Richthofen had still been commanding, Gabriel probably would have had his name put in for a medal (for an NCO, the Golden Military Cross, the NCO equivalent of the Blue Max)
My favorite line from this series:
Museum director: Would you like to get into this tank and see for yourself?
Indy: Not in these pants!
"It's not creepy at all". The judge said otherwise, Indy :)
Awesome channel, I'm so glad i found it! Anyone know a WW2 channel like this? That would be fantastic!
Just wait wars are like buses and cops they come in pairs.
at the time I saw this four people didn't get the hundred year joke.
Absolutely outstanding work gentlemen, ladies too - idk, and wonder if you would do a Vietnam era one or progress through history doing wars and conflicts, thus cementing yourself as the most well known modern era historian?
I've been watching since '14.
i got a short list on "who did what in ww1"
-joseph stalin
-george s patton
-lenin
-trosky
-bruno lerdzer (the bloke you just mentioned)
-herman goring (totally more info about him
-dwight d eisenhower
-omar bradley
-bernard montgomery
-prince wilhelm iii
still so much more. fellow fans i ask ye to add who you would want to see the Great War chaps talk about. like this comment so they can see!
Lenin was over throwing the Tsar and creating Soviet Union. Stalin was helping him. Trotsky too.
But what Fegelein was doing?
Chair of Madness!!
Hey Indi, this is the first time that I ask something
Why at the very beginning of the war neither side tried an amphibian invasion (North of Germany, South of Russia, South of France, West of Austria, Southwest of Ottomania :v)
That's right I crafted a new word
Nikeayuiop Probably because they were still stuck in 1800's warfare at the beginning of ww1 and the navies of rival countries didn't make it easy neither.
Indy snacking of caltrops & peanuts, tough guy!
Dear Indy and crew, I love this channel and all the education of the great war. I have two questions for "out of the trenches", my first question is the paranormal of the first world war, I read about the Angels of Mons and it fascinated me, so are there other amazing stories and if so would you be willing to make a special about them. My second question is out of curiosity, I read about in the American civil war you were more likely the die on a operation table than on the battlefield because of how many of the doctors never cleaned their equipment and hand, since the civil war was more closely to the great war then the others did this carry to the great war? Thanks for all the educational videos and happy New Year.
P.S. I didn't have a Twitter account or one for patreon so I comment this on UA-cam I hope this get to you and have a nice year.
From Michael Ralph Donnahoo
Thanks indy
Great time to have been taking a shit.
Hey! Question for out of the trenches. Why does ever rebellion or mutiny always start in the navy?
You should post it on their website, first link in the description
It does not. The French army mutinied in 1917 but the French navy did not.
Howdy, Indy and crew! Now that you've answered one of my questions, I have a next one. Many countries fielded units consisting of soldiers of different nations: the British had soldiers from dominions like ANZAC, Austro-Hungarians had Polish Legions, Russians had Latvian Rifles and so on. Did Germany deploy such units? I don't mean troops from colonies, but something like Escadrille Lafayette or General Haller's Third Polish Brigade, aka the Blue Army, serving with the French. And a little tip, my surname is pronounced like "Vatslavik".
Some UA-camr's flip up shit in a couple of minutes...
The Great War, is one of the most well researched, well directed and informative UA-cam Channels I have come across.
I hope you continue on to WW-II... but please don't wait till 2037 :P
Indy ,Can you tell me something about the 'Forward observers of WW1' for Artillery use purpose & also how it change the course of Strategy & Tactics from Past , Present & future Warfare.
The biggest problem with combined arms doctrine (infantry and tanks working together) was getting certain commanders to apply what had been learned, either because they despised the tank or because they believed the tank could do things that prior experience had shown it couldn't. This failing even went up to corps level and caused the failure of otherwise well lanner and executed attacks.
I think this is the first Monday out of the trenches.
Question for out of the trenches
You mentioned how caltrops weren't a very effective weapon in comparison to barbed wire but what if you were to drop them over top of a trench from a plane would they cause damage similar to flechettes or would they be to light to do anything useful. I've never touched one so I wouldn't know weight of one. I love the show keep up the great work.
P.S I'd love to know what you plan to do once the war is over.
Have some major action on the right of Verdun (or left for the germans view)?
Thanks for the show. A hug from brazil
Hi Indie tip top show and during the video on German Anti-Tank units the appeared a photo of a German Fahrpanzer. I know they were fortress turrets on rails armed with 53mm Gruson gun and were taken to the western front there is a fantastic surviving example in Belgium. Can I ask how extensively were they used on the western front.
Kind regards
Nicholas Davis
Great show Indy and crew. Question for Out of the Trenches: After 11 Nov 2018, will there be a set of videos about the Treaty of Versailles? Shame the show must come to an end.
How was barb wire maintained and replaced at the front lines?
By guys who pissed off their superior officers.
Steve Kaczynski there's a scene in the movie all quiet on the Western front (1930) wilth Barb wire setup it's super interesting and would recommend to anyone interested in Germany in ww1
How was barb wire maintained and replaced at the front lines? Answer: as quickly as possible
Hi guys
I have a question for you. I have wondered since Operation Albion about the advancement of amphibious assault tactics. If you compare this operation to the disastrous Dardenelles landing, then there are 'mixed' results. Are the successes of Albion due to strength of the attacker and poor ability of the defenders or can it be credited to advancing amphibious doctrines of attack. I was just wondering as it sounds interesting.
Love the show.
Hi Indy and crew! Greetings from California! I have a question for OUT OF THE TRENCHES. Was German equipment in WWI the same as it was in WWII in terms of high quality but hard to mass produce? Btw, I just finished reading "Poilu." Great book!!!
please submit your question here: outofthetrenches.thegreatwar.tv
Thinking the effectiveness of grape and canister, or bee hive rounds I wonder how well Caltrops would be if delivered by artillilary or bombs. (thinking outside the box, of coarce) ;)
Fan Since 1916 :P lol! awesome
Hi Indy and team I have a question four out of the trenches I now the alies took troops from ther colonies could you go more into details like were they were from and if they was forced to fight keep up the good work
A question for out of the trenches how good was the trench armor given to the best of my knowledge the Germans
Ey OOTT, I was wondering, what did the Ottomans use for tanks and weaponry? I know they had German support but did the capture landships like the Germans?
Can believe that this November 11th 2018 will be the end of this show! 😭😭😢😖😣😞😞
Take care
I've gained more knowledge from Indy then any other school teacher in my life
Hi Indy and crew I have a question, was there and weird or odd prototype weapons and vehicles that almost made t to the field?
Please make a bio of Hermann Göring :)
hey Indy and team i had a questions to OUT OF THE TRENCHES about fake spy trees in no-man's land i had read a Article about in a history magazine that will be interesting to know more a about a keep the good work big fan
+The Great War at the end there's no link to that bio about the talented guy. FYI
thanks, it's there now.
I know hindsight is always 20x20, but you would think that the various armies would have been thinking about quick-firing guns somewhere between HMG and artillery (say high velocity 20-40mm) for use against aircraft and that they would then have seen that those guns would also be effective against early tanks.
Here's a question for The Great War: What was the state of the art by 1918 for anti-aircraft guns?
please submit your question here: outofthetrenches.thegreatwar.tv
Indy there is a fine bio of Goring in WW I "Herman Goring Fighter Ace by Peter Kilduff Lets just say Goring does not come across as very likeable
Hi Indy and crew. How are you? Here is my question, do the rigid airships in the the new Charlie Brown movie (the ones that Snoopy see while saving his girlfriend) and the rigid airships in battlefield 1 accurately depict the rigid ariships used in the first world war? I know it is kind of a stupid question but I hope you have the time to answer it. Keep up the great work. Bye.
Hey guys I have a question for you, my family is from Austria-Hungary, almost perfectly given my first name Hungarian and my last name Austrian. But my great grandmother was of nobility in Vienna and she left a diary, in her diary she talks about how the mood in Austria was still quite good throughout 1917, the year of her diary.
Was the Austrian nobility kept in a state of blissful ignorance? Her husband, my great grandfather, died in battle in the Carpathian mountains during the winter offensives, and it seems so strange that she was still confident even after such a tragedy. Thanks! Today's my 25th birthday I hope you could tell me about this!
Hey Indy my name is Sam I'm a young Canadian hoping to study history when I go to university. I was wondering if u could do a a special on the Canadian black watch
Where can I find a picture of the scene at 2:00 of the flamethrower crew against the tank.
Last time I was this early, there were no thumbs downs on this video. Great work as usual! P.S. : not creepy, whahahaa !! :-D
Damn, Indy noticed me.
What about Rudolf Hess in WW1?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Hess#World_War_I
Could you do a bio about Herman goring during ww1
The tankgewher wasn't really something vs the mark iv?
Last time i was so early Herman Göring was so slim he could fly a plane.
Greetings Indy. I am currently suffering from the common cold, coughing continuously throughout the day. And on the topic of the common cold, how did it affect the men in the Great War?
Derptank Be very grateful you not have H1N1. One hundred years ago,you would likely be dead. Nowadays,it is just a cold.
paul manson
Well of course
Last time I was this early, WatchSundayBaseball was still a thing
Josué Caleb it still is
Nice boyo
Goering minus food and morphine looks pretty strapping.
Göring
I wonder what part roles german general ww2 in ww1 like heinz guderian, frederich von paulus, keitel, heinrich himmler, gunther von kluge, von meinstein, karl donitz and erich reider
I will be happy if someone want to answer all :))
Herman Göring Sound like Man of World war 2 Got the same Temper as in great war
simple question: were there supressors in ww1?
7:35 I get the feeling there might be an interesting story behind this.
Hi Indy any chance you could do an episode on the British flying ace Mc Cudden I believe he was killed in action a 100 years ago this year.
im still waiting for my episode or spotlight i did some great stuff in the war your sincerely marshal montgomery
Apart from the tsar tank
did any other nations (except france britan america and germany) have any plans in ww1 to make a new tank?
I don’t know whom else to ask. John Browning was an American gun designing powerhouse, so why was the American Expeditionary Force inflicted with the French Chauchat?
Hey guys, the show you’re doing is awesome, I was wondering, the French canone de 75 is always hailed as the savior of France and all that. I wonder how much effect did it really have compared to the German FKs, or was it more lethal as propaganda than a weapon?
Watch our artillery episode.
You should play hoi4. I'd like to see your strategies and what you think of the game. I mean you have to be decent after spending years studying war.
I read once that caltrops were dropped by plane.
What about Heinz Guderian?, I know he was in WW1
