6:40 press F to get into vehicle
lol I get It xD
Now that's funny! :D
2:50 Love that story about the tank crew jumping out to finish off the machine gun nest right in front of them. Maybe not the most 'brilliant' idea, but I do have to respect their bravery.
At 3:23 ....."the French were a little different."
I reacted with a involuntary nod of the head in agreement.
They used the Italian technique of fitting their tanks with one forward gear and &I’ve reverse.
@@blxtothis I feel like on this channel we should know that they suffered and fought just like anyone else.
Might be of interest that tank warfare was predicted by H. G. Wells in his short story "The Land Ironclads" in The Strand Magazine (January 1904), which also describes trench warfare. Wells' tank is larger and more technological advanced than those that actually were produced for the war, but did have a tread system and addressed the problem of crossing trenches. Not sure if the story is available online. It was reprinted in "Science Fiction by Gaslight" (World Publishing, 1968) and probably other places. Worth tracking down if you really interested in WW I tank warfare.
It can be read online here www.gutenberg.net.au/ebooks06/0604041h.html
comet1970 thank you for this, quite interesting indeed
It seems that every technological advancement in history, military or otherwise, has been predicted by some science fiction author decades before they came into being.
Dominic Niedzielski Have you ever listened to the podcast Wind of Change? Oftentimes, the military actually gets their ideas from books and movies.
@@maxdurk4624 its not 1918 anymore no one listens to podcasts🤣
It appears the patient's symptoms are getting better, he didn't go on a wild introduction where he pretended being someone else. Further observation is required.
I half expected the episode to be introduced by the chair, talking about Indy sitting in it, yadda yadda.
Better still, put Snake in the chair of wisdom and have Indy do Snake's voice do it.

"And we'll see you next time, and the time after that, and every other time until there are no more times" lol love that line
Sooo....Germany in ww1 spread it's already limited resources into development of several compleatly diffrent vechicles, wich resoult in none of them beeing finished ? I bet that will never happen again ^^......
It's really weird that they have a reputation for efficiancy.
Americans will always do the right thing. After they've exhausted all other possibilities.
Churchill
Germans seem to have a similar philosophy when it comes to engineering.
I'm pretty sure the only time the Germans decided to produce the cheap and simple option and not the big over the top one is the Panzerfaust.
LtKharn propoganda
ComissarYarrick LMAO
Getting out of a tank to take out a my nest with three guys is best move of the war :P
YOLO!
Yep, that sounds epic.
"Until there are no more times." Well, this must confirm it. The team is going to do the History of Absolutely Everything week by week! :P
You can't just drop "An Armored wheel barrel with a baby and a Turtle" ... and not show us some sort of drawing of it at least... come on guys!!
I could only find one picture of it on a quick google search. Maybe they didn't get the right to that.
Indy keep that one to himself in a special place.
indies keeping that one in the "spank bank" just for himself!
just take your sea turtle and put it in the wheelbarrow and take a roll around the neighborhood, that should be a vivid recreation of the experience
Hey Indy,
The war started with many of the soldiers expecting that they would be home by Christmas. Barring the Christmas truce the soldiers made for themselves back in 1914, the war ground on for 4 years with no respite for the holiday. However, now that war will be over for Christmas, what was the first post-war Christmas like? Were there particularly interesting stories from that Christmas, or mourning for all that had been lost the previous four years?
The 1919 and 1920 were the years of hedonism, basically London, Paris and Berlin became total centers of debauchery- drugs, alcohol, jazz, orgies and endless parties. It took 5-6 years before things quited down and governments started regulating drugs
My great great grandpa was a motorcycle messenger during the war. I was wondering if you could talk about the role and importance of a motorcycle messengers. Keep up the amazing work
LK2 was the most promising German concept and production was about to start when the war ended. It had some similarities to Whippet and FT13.
Howdy, Indy and crew! Mighty thanks for your amazing work! I have a question for OOTT: what were the patriotic slogans and popular battle cries of the waring nations? I mean the things along the lines "for King and country" and such. Once again, thank you. Also, just to clear things out, my last name is pronounced "Vatslavik", cause Indy kinda screwed it up last time, but no offence taken.
Moron
Walter Lilja Why the disrespect
You should have said..Mighty Tanks for the info .... I crack myself up. Ahhhhhahaha
0:47 Whait, are those machine guns mounted on motorcycles?
Indy or Flo if you're reading this please give more info on this
Yep unexpected
Lassi Kinnunen I need a picture of that, could you send me one?
Also on side cars I think
Pobblebonk just search vespa 150 TAP
This series is fantastic. Your presentation of the material is riveting. This Series has given me hours not only entertainment but education on World War I material, men, machines, it's just great.
Woah party bus as the thumbnail.
WAR WERE DECLARED
*woo party*
That is my painting :)
TOG 1?
Cringey
@@viktro546 proof.
Loved how informative this video was. Great job.
Since I learned about this series I have been binge watching this like mad. Great work.
Hi, Indy and Crew. I was reading Poilu by Louis Barthas, and it mentions the "Kaiser´s Cutthroats" where they some type of early storm troopers or like the french assault troops. Thank you and keep up the great show. Greetings from Spain.
You guys really need to visit RAF Halton, it has restored WW1 training Trenches as well as plenty of history of the early days of the RAF
French Renault tanks took part in training in the US at Camp Colt, right on the battlefield at Gettysburg, PA.
those were some awesome drawings.
Very well done
"... until there are no more times.." i will miss this program when the war is over :(
We must get him to do WW II then!
I absolutly love this channel!! Dont u ditch that chair... EVER!
Excellent "Amoured" Show Indeed !!!
Hello Indy, my name is Antonio and I'm from Mexico. I know you guys covered the revolution and I like your series, full of interesting and unique facts, but I was wondering if you could find out more about individual Mexicans who fought on both sides of the Western front?
Can you make video about Freikorps
I will miss you when "Peace were declared"
B1 Laxson He can start ww2 (:
i really hope he does, love this show!
Did German tank training largely change as the Germans had their A7Vs but also captured enemy tanks
8:50 Indy just casually restarting the German Reich...
My wife's great grandfather was a tank driver with the AEFs 345th Tank Battalion. He worked for Marion Steamshovel before enlisting and we think his experience with mechanical vehicles/tractors is how he wound up there
guten tag Indy and crew a question for OOTT: In TGW how were motorcycles used, was it more for supply transport. Or just a quick way to transport messages behind the frontlines? Were there also any specialized units on any side that only used motorcycles. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Motorcycles had no real place in trench warfare. However, in World War II armed motorcycles, with machine guns on the side car, were used commonly for escort duties though I’m pretty sure they were used for fire support at some time in some place.
If I ever join the Army, I will be ever grateful that we've mastered radio technology.
Wow! That one is the archetype APC! Just a word of advice: Officers and NCO Squad leaders in APCs lead better when fully behind armor. Duck! Duck! Don't be a Goose!
8:28 that thing looks very similar to the Panzerwerfer/half tracks with the slit windows etc.
"We'll see you next time and the time after that and every other time until there are no more time" : another historical quote of the inimitable Indy that I was so glad to meet in person during the last fan gathering in Gallipoli, Turkey
Very interesting Guy's.
Hello Indy and Team! I've been a fan of the show since late 2016 when one of your videos was randomly recommended to me on UA-cam. My question for Out of the Trenches: Is there a plan for making a special episode about the American "Lost Battalion" incident during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive in October of 1918? If not could you speak briefly of the event on Out of the Trenches? Keep up the amazing work!
Hey Indy and company, I don't know if you covered this or not about the American Expeditionary Force but was the role of Tasker Bliss and Peyton March. the Army Chiefs of Staff at this time in getting the AEF ready to send to France. Because there always seems to be this big gap in the Story between Wilson declaring War and AEF finally going into action in the Argonne, I was hoping you could do some dedicated episodes about the lesser known elements about the AEF.
I love his ending quote “until there are no more times” it’s honestly really funny to me
Wow you rock
Question for Out of the Trenches. What was life in a German POW camp during the war? Especially at the end of the war when food was becoming more and more of an issue for both soldier and civilians.
A bit late and quite possibly might not come up again (or then again it might if the WW2 Channel plan does come about), but Pirbright at 0:57 is pronounced purr-bright, at least by everyone who lives anywhere near it. We Brits don't do this stuff with names and how to say them on purpose, honest.
Hey Indy and team, great show! Could you please make an episode about Southern Rhodesia/Zimbabwe?
on this day, 100 years ago, the young man who sparked World War I, dies from Tuberculosis.
Gavirlo Princip
Until there are no more times... The end is nigh. 😭
Don't cry! At least we will be with Indy till the end of times.
That picture of the vertical tank at around 1:45 was amazing! The people inside must have been struggling not to tall back intot he rear...
PtolemyJones Yes, especially with the hot "open" engine in the middle
I totally pictured that...LOL!
Nice
When you said a armored wheel barrow and a turtle I was expecting a crudely drawn sketch by a child lmao
07:00 "Raumpatrouille Orion" is from the 60s and wasn't cheap at all, but okay :D
Wait how many times are left! 😱
This guy’s mannerisms remind me of William F. Buckley. They even look alike. Weird. 😂
7:07 sounds like the Treffaswagen
Hi Indy and team, great show! Could you please make an episode about the spanish flu?
Wurschtl Burschtl My guess is they will do it in 2019 when covering the immediate post war period
Thx
there are some Docos on you tube search "1918 flu"
8:31 reminds me of Muck from Bob the Builder, after he joined the german army.
Question for OOTT: Assaults on the Western Front usually start with an artillery barrage followed by an infantry change but, particularly for the Entente, the territorial gains were relatively small and most casualties inflicted on the enemy were caused by the artillery fire. As it was a war of attrition (in the West) did any of the generals consider just constantly bombarding the enemy in order to inflict casualties but not bothering with an infantry assault in order to reduce losses?
The K-Wagen was an absolute behemoth. When it would have rolled out of the assemblylines it would have wrecked the Entente. Imagine the faces of french or british Troops who thought they had an advantage with their 30 Ton tanks when this 120 Ton beast would roll in their direction with 4 7,7 field guns. But sadly we didn't had the ressources to build more than 2.
FuckinAntiPope Not all about size, one British whippet tank took out 400 German soldiers if I remember correctly, which would be the most successful use of a tank in ww1.
Dumbass lazy man that may be true but the K-Wagen would have easily pushed back the Entente and won the war for germany because it just was so powerful with it's guns. Sure there needed to be other vehicles too like the L.K. II but the K-Wagen was powerful and versitile. It could easily fight of infantry, bunkers, MG nests and other tank and vehicles
I think the k wagon would be next to useless. The terrain would stop it and even if it got through how many bridges at that time could take the weight. Also being that heavy top speed would be so slow and would attract so much artillery as did the British tanks.
Wayne Smith I don't think that there where many bridges in nomansland and also the speed would be no Problem with that armor (and when I remember correctly the K-Wagen was faster than a Mark tank)
FuckinAntiPope that and a field artillery piece could take it out easily.
Do you actually answer these without preparing beforehand? If so your knowledge is quite amazing. If not... you're still amazing
Cool
Ironically it was the Austro-Hungarians that had the best tank design of them all, the Burstyn Motorgeschütz, with a rotating turret, separate compartments etc, this was designed in 1911 however like everyone else the Austro-Hungarian generals thought such an idea was ridicules and never funded the guy.
Burstyn eventually went on to other projects and it was only in WW1 that the Austro-Hungarians realised the value armoured vehicles had after fighting arguably the first mobile war ever against the Russians using armoured cars which both sides fielded, they would run them against each other at high speeds on the few roads that were in Russia mowing down troops and cavalry, it was extremely effective.
War on the East was less trenches and more mobile compared to the west until it eventually bogged down.
Would been devastating if the Austro-Hungarians actually produced the Burstyn in 1911
A question for OOTT: When telephone and radio communications were utilized in WWII often indigenous populations and even Japanese-American units utilized native and immigrant languages to keep communications secret and allow an added measure of security. To what extent did written and spoken communication utilized these groups in WWI to protect communication and German attempts to break that communication?
"...until there are no more times."
I dread that day.
hey indie what are you planning on doing once you finish covering the first world war? Perhaps a segment ( or whole second channel, their a lot to cover) on the american civil war some of the weapons and vehicles used in the great war were invented during the civil war. Some examples of this would be the first artillery piece to fire shells ( the parrott gun), the invention of the dirigible, the design ( and shortly after the war the building of) the first semi-rigid airship, the wide spread use of trenches, the invention of the Gatling gun, balloon based air forces on both sides,armored trains,etc.
Can you do an episode on sports during the Great War in an out if the trenches episode? Was there any international sports event between 1914-1918?
Could you tell us more about French tank development and use? They had the biggest tank corp of the war, I think.
is that Ending a refrence to youre going on between the wars and even go for history in WW2 =) ?
Until there are no more times? More evidence that Indy is in fact a Time Lord.
I love the A7V but the Mark IV is still bae
Indy isn't kidding. The Orionwagen REALLY does look like that
Can you make a video about Zivojin Misic?
I really need one of those motorcycle mounted machine guns for commuting purposes.
"..until there are no more times." I don't want to think about that.
1:40 that tank marked 3, does that have a turret? it look's just like a leman russ tank from 40k.
Hello I have a question for Out of the Trenches! (If it hasn’t been asked yet), how long was the longest trench, where was it, which side manned it, and what were the complications managing it? I used to think that the frontline trench actually stretched the whole frontline, which I imagine is quite stupid thinking about it.
Hi Indy and team!For out of the trenches I had a question:
Did the germans plan on making Russia a subject(like a puppet state) if they defeated it(before they decided to send the Bolsheviks)
The Germans did have plans to make former Russian territory their subjects(Poland,ect) but do they actually want to make the rest of Russia a subject
I think it’s a possiblility since the Germans can Attack China and Japan and could use Russia’s huge army and ports to fuel its war effort(maybe doing it before 1917 as it was a mess)
And if they intend on doing so will they make the tsar the ruler of it because it was the cousin of the Kaiser
Love your channel!
Hi I have a request could we hear more what happened in Japan? We have not heard much form them during the weekly episodes and the who did what in the great war episodes. I would like to hear about some Japanese commanders like Tojo and Yamamoto I am sure they will make an appearance in the future ;)
Not much happened to Japan after the first year of the war.
They did send a flotilla of destroyers to escort ships from subs, but after the war those commanders were sidelined.
Of course, soon they may go into Siberia to protect it from the Bolsheviks....
The Renault FT was by far the best tank of "The Great War".
Can you please do a video on Simpson and his donkey from Gallipoli
Question for out of the trenches was their ever a posibility of the us joining the central powers
I love Tanks!
What's the name of the tank at 4:00? It looks really cool
A question for OOTT: Theres a book called "all quiet in the western front" I know that the autor Erich M.Remarque fought in ww1, is there a way to know what was his role in war?.Greetings from Mexico!. And give flo a raise
I've always thought the french tanks were cute too :D
7:18 googling orionwagen... yep
will TGW do a special on Ethiopia?
Hey Indy and crew,
Soldiers were exposed to a lot of nasty air during the war, such as poison gas or fumes of the tank engines. Was it common for soldiers to develop lung problems due to this exposure?
18 - 23 Crew? WHATH OW
No picture of the orionwagen?
A question for the next OTT, I was watching a documentary on some tv channel and it talked about German-Americans trying to enlist in the German army in 1914 , but it did not go into much detail. My question is, are their any historical accounts or maybe even books that cover this, and what was the opinion of the Entente after hearing stories of neutral civilians trying to aid the enemy? Thanks and love the show! (Looking forward to WW2)
Question: Did you have any family service in WW1, if so where abouts?
Urgent question for OOTT: How do you choose your impersonations (robot, Kermit...)?
How do i post a question that is seen? Not on here apparently
For the "Chair of Wisdom", I bid 20,000 Quatloos...
the chair is worth much more than mere quatloos! you must gamble your very life!
Did you get the currency from Star Trek episode,"The Gamesters of Triskelion"?
or till the end of times!
Can somebody link me the book about the german tank commander mentioned at 2:51, or tell me his name? I've replayed it like 3 times and still can't get it lol
Kemuel Mora His name was Ernst Volckheim
what is equipped putsa what is it cant understand what he sad at 8:27 pls someone I want to know
Were friendly fire incidents common in WW1 and what were some of the worst incidents ?
To a degree, friendly fire was quite common during the First World War, primarily due to artillery shells falling short and hitting friendly positions. Unfortunately a lot of these incidents were either never recorded or not disclosed because of the impact it would've had on morale, or the details of these incidents are vague. It seems the worst incident of friendly fire took place during the Battle of Verdun. A cooking fire set off an explosion within Ft. Douaumont which forced German soldiers to retreat. The soldiers had been soot-blackened by the explosion and were mistaken for attacking French colonial soldiers. The total death toll of the explosion and firefight was around 679 German soldiers.
Da Vinci would be proud.
