It's crazy just how apocalyptic WW1 actually was. Imagine staring out at the front lines, no grass, no trees, only mud, barbed wire, and corpses. Every day and night, you are bombarded with dozens of shells per minute, sometimes hundreds at a single time.
"Apocalyptic" sums it up very well. 1918 must have felt like the end of the world. WW2 ended with Americans and Soviets (albeit for a short time) embracing each other and the world being hopeful for a better future, WW1 ended with immense disappointment, hunger in every corner of Europe, and a plague that would claim even more lives than the war. I both wish I had the iron will these men must have had had during these horrific days and am glad I haven't had to live through something like that.
Yeah, imagine unironically living in the Dead Marshes from Lord of the Rings for four years of your life.
Fuck, man.
Now, imagine how it felt to witness the atomic bombing. And people wonder why there's been a huge outbreak of cults over the past 70 years

So we’re not gonna talk about the neville offensive
Imagine your an 18 year old boy, fresh from the farm, missing your mother deeply, and your home. Fighting for your life, and the fate of your country everyday for months straight. If you're lucky enough to survive the horrendous war, you'll have shell shock and PTSD to haunt you for the rest of your life.
Well when the germans first attacked Verdun it was defended with 40 years old soldiers.
Well it was the case for two of my great grandfathers who fought in Verdun at 19 years old
2 of my grand grand father were soldier during WW1, one of the two die in Verdun, the other one wase severly injuryed during "le chemin des dames". 20% of the men who wear my name die during WW1
luckily for them, there's another one 20 years later.
just for some redditor to call you a coward 100 years later because your country surrendered in one war.
This song, if you understand its lyrics, takes a way different tone from the one it's supposed to have. This takes the cliche vision of French resistance at Verdun and contrasts it to real Verdun. While I enjoy this song as art, I can never really ignore its message of defiance and patriotism when contrasted to the truth of it. Verdun was hell. A nightmare which lasted almost a full year. Brutal fighting for mere meters of ground. Thousands upon thousands of artillery shells changing the landscape of the region forever. A stubborn fight of two hateful countries that failed to understand that this conflict was sending a generation, if not multiple, to their end in conditions most cannot even imagine.
The French soldiers did not sing the Marseillaise as they faced down hordes of barbaric Germans coming to pillage their homes. They were just young men sent to kill and be killed by other young men. They weren't all that different, aside from their birthplaces and sometimes (not even always) language. Sold into this war by the very same promise which fills this song: heroïsm and patriotism.
Over 700 000 people either died or were wounded in Verdun. Thousands more were traumatised by it. Please, forget them not. Neither French or Germans. Or the million others who were victims of the First World War, the following, or the many wars before and after them.
this is the rule of the humankind, hunter gatherer already had small size conflict, beginning of cities started more larger conflict, and finally nation state started those huge size conflict, we can't avoid it. sadly.

well said
There’s something so unsettling about these videos. The dissonance between the cheery and triumphant music and the artillery shells raining down are so scary to imagine. It paints a picture in your head of a large group of soldiers huddled up in a giant corridor, singing to take their minds off of the shelling… of the chaos that is about to begin
Military songs are made for this, covering the screams, holding on
This one... Hits different. It sounds like a funeral, and the soldiers are mourning the loss of a comrade while trying to keep their spirits up. But as it goes on, you get the realization that this is not a funeral for a fallen ally. It's a funeral for everyone. They're screwed and they know it. And to hit that home, the music doesn't just fade at the end, it stops. It stops as the sounds of rocks are heard moving, and the bombardment becomes louder. Feels like you just listened to the last moments of everyone there, as the sounds imply that everyone was either blown up or buried at the end. Just... Damn.
The Allies leadership were so hesitant to go to war two decades later, but after this, their actions make much more sense. This war really was so horrible that they desperately wanted it to be the last one ever, against all reason and evidence to the contrary.
It's surprising the Germans didn't also learn to not want war, since they suffered such massive casualties in their failed assault on Verdun and in WWI overall, what with their total death count being higher than the French or British.
@@SelfProclaimedEmperor I'm pretty sure there were plenty of people in Germany who didn't want war, and many others who didn't shy away from its horror. But as it went, there were also many Germans who were angry about the war's outcome, possibly because of how bad it was and having gained less than nothing from it, and they wanted to change things. In that category, you had the old and bitter, loyal veteran followers, and indoctrinated young. Germany would have been more eager for another war when those 3 became the dominant power, and we know what happened next.

My great grandfather was at Verdun during the first days of the german offensive. He loose many men, was injuried 3 times, but managed to stop them where he was. He was decorated after that and continued the war until the end. Then he fought the germans again during the Battle of France, and after the defeat joined the Resistance and after the Liberation he founded the french syndicate Force Ouvrière. He died at 105 years old. He was just at the beginning a random burgundian farmer.
Amazing story, thanks for sharing

@@ricotaline batard xD

Je voudrais vous rencontrer, vraiment
Ah Verdun. My grandfather visited the site only two years after the war ended. He wrote, 13 years later when he started a war journal, that it still smelled of gunpowder, medal, and blood. It was, to say the least, literally hell. Millions of shells fired in less than one year. The village destroyed, hundreds of thousands dead, thousands more shell shocked, injured or missing. We must not forget what war was, and we should be thankful of what it is now. “Hell is called the place for sinners to go. I know half of the men who fought here weren’t sinners, and yet the went through a hell worse than hell. What kind of person, no matter their culture, feel like this was good. I have regret for even fighting for the Germans, but it would be worse to not aid the call of a brother. Now that that demented man has taken power, I can only fear what may come. Nevertheless I will fight against it with whatever means I can. God bless Germany, and God save Germany” - My Grandfather, past the 1934 year entry.

What…?
This gives me some intense flashbacks from the days I was playing Verdun. A good game, it was as if yesterday that it was launched (that was actually 6 years ago), I've been with it ever since it was just a free game on Kongregate.
I remember when they added Fort Douaumont and the German specialist troops, with a realistic gore model. The sound of the machineguns, the characteristic crack and clank of the bolt action rifles, the screams, the howling of artillery, the terrible sound of the Wechselapparat... that game nailed WW1 atmosphere like no other.
it is an awesome game. shame the playerbase is so low
@@greydivisiongaming8316 I still play on occasion on ps4, and there is a maximum of 60 players online at 1 time, when I first got it (2019) it was really fun tho, but was also a great depiction of the true horror faced by soldiers fighting for all causes.
yo I've been playing it since the demo on Y8
I was just playing Verdun (on Douaumont no less) and yeah, Verdun is one of the best WW1 games out there (to my knowledge. I think there's also Beyond the Wire but I haven't touched that one yet.
Thank you so much for a such brillant tribute to my country. The '' Great War '' was so terriblr and useless, such a shame so many brave men died in there.

@@barontuna "abandonnez !" is an order if there are multiple soldiers you're talking to. "abandonne" is fine if you are talking to only one person.
@@captain-pepper Yeah but im guessing he is addressing whats left of his comrades as its very unlikely to use abandonne (as it will be used to address only "tu").

Hearing the sound of the relentless artillery fire ... it's hard to even fathom the sheer amount of firepower unleashed just at Verdun, let alone the entire Western Front. How human life endured that to even render resistance to one-another is baffling to the odds.
To have the real experience :
Put the sound 100 times louder
Sleep only a few hours if not at all
And don't forget to eat just some bread and soup
Oh also think about your lost friends and your wife in your village or working in the cities sometimes
I have an idea: "Always look on the bright side of life from Monty Python's Life of Brian, but you are a sailor on the sinking HMS Sheffield waiting to be rescued".
my great grandfather was sent to Verdun last before he was declared MIA. We can't know for sure because they keep finding bodies. Maybe soon they'll ID one of them and say "yep, that's him"
Maybe they already have and we haven't heard about it
When you go there it feels really strange. It's all nice and green with beautiful trees but you can tell it's been bombed beyond recognition.
And you walk around thinking "how many bodies and bombs are down there right under my feet?"
The amount of severity, truth, and respect you give these awful battles and events while also delivering minimum glamorization is appreciated. There is no hell created in the mind that isn't eclipsed by the shadow of war, and no amount of blood has ever been spilled that will soak into the muddy earth deeper than the blood of the young men of WWI. Never forget their deaths, for they are already in vain.

Earlier this year I visited Verdun, I live maybe 1h and a half south of it and I went to it by the "sacred way" (la voie sacré, the main logistical road for the french during the battle)
Coming at the top of the hill of Douaumont ossuary and seeing rows upon rows of white crosses was a chilling experience, more so than Omaha since the earth is still scared to this day by the intense bombardments that took place here for months...
Just in case you want to sing with all these merry french lads, here's the lyrics:
Un aigle noir a plané sur la ville

De tous côtés, les corbeaux se faufilent
Dans les sillons et dans les chemins creux
Mais tout à coup, le coq gaulois claironne
"Cocorico, debout petits soldats"
Le soleil luit, partout le canon tonne
Jeunes héros, voici le grand combat
Et Verdun, la victorieuse
Pousse un cri que portent là-bas
Les échos des bords de la Meuse
Halte là, on ne passe pas
Plus de morgue, plus d'arrogance
Fuyez barbares et laquais
C'est ici la porte de France
Et vous ne passerez jamais
Les ennemis s'avancent avec rage
Énorme flot d'un vivant océan
Semant la mort partout sur son passage
Ivres de bruit, de carnage et de sang
Ils vont passer quand, relevant la tête
Un officier dans un suprême effort
Quoique mourant, crie "à la baïonnette
Hardi les gars, debout, debout les morts"
Et Verdun, la victorieuse
Pousse un cri que portent là-bas
Les échos des bords de la Meuse
Halte là, on ne passe pas
Plus de morgue, plus d'arrogance
Fuyez barbares et laquais
C'est ici la porte de France
Et vous ne passerez jamais

I read The Price of Glory at the beginning of the pandemic. What happened at Verdun was the height of mechanized slaughter. Franz Marc, the artist, wrote about the horses he saw killed and maimed on the battlefield. He himself was a casualty. His art is fantastic and it's terrible he died there.

My Great-Great Grand Father actually defended the Fort de Vaux, i'm so proud and I love this video
*THEY SHALL NOT PASS*
The main target for the German army during the battle of Verdun was not to capture the city itself, but the line of heights near the River Meuse known as the "Cotes de Meuse". Since antiquity, those heights had been a strategic stronghold, dominating the whole region. The Germans were initially able to cross the Meuse and drive the French out of their positions on the west bank, even advancing so far as capturing Fort Douaumont, but the battle for the heights further north soon became a living nightmare for the troops on both sides. Camouflaged machine-gun nests and relentless shellfire from French 75mm field guns tore deep holes into the advancing German infantry columns, at the same time as German flamethrower units and heavy howitzers smashed into the fortified French positions. Hills like Cote 304 and Mort Homme, the "Dead man's hill", became lasting synonyms for the truly unbelievable slaughter there, as the Germans tried to wrestle the heights from the French defenders by sheer force. Only after a 36-hour bombardment from 500 artillery guns (9th April 1916) were the Germans able to rout the broken French lines and take the two hills. The fighting on the hilltops was perhaps the worst of the entire war, with soldiers dying of thirst, and the wounded drowning in the mud.
