Watching the flame thrower scene, I remembered reading the account of an Indian soldier serving in the British army on the Western Front. He basically said that weapons like mustard gas had nullified any sense of honor in fighting this war, because soldiers were like insects being sprayed with pesticide.
there's no such things as honor in a war where people killed another people that's like the dumbest shit our ancestors did before the invention of modern firearms in war they want results and those results have a cost and it's either us or them
@@adelaidesngan604 there were 1,200,000 british soldiers on the western front in 1918. Sorry that you rate their sacrifice so little. Fucking disrespectful prick.
@@maffyg107 vous étiez une minoriter, sans vous la France aurait gagné quand même
@StormCrow As they basically lost the war, but US material, money and british soldiers keept them in. It was stupid from all sides to not accept that it was a draw after the first or second year.
It was stupid that the French went to war for Russian panslawism, and it was stupid that the German went to war for Austro - Hungarias Balkan trouble.
Which movie is this ? Can you please tell me the name
You have to admit the cinematography is amazing.
In this scene, the French are all hidden by the smoke. They don’t talk, and appear brutal, ruthless, and effiecent.
But when the Germans attack the French trench, it empathizes their faces. They speak, run, and beg, just like the Germans did here.
Very simple, but very effective technique.
They are creating empathy for only one side…
@@ronb7931all the years the Germans were shown as brutal in all freaking movies. Time to show our perspective to the world
@@dwertkwert4948 "our perspective?" like : "please see our side guys, we just wanted to invade all your countries and, you know, kill everyone who disagrees, nothing more" lol
@@townsley2 I think you should learn more about european History and the Events, that caused the war. Everyone wanted the war, the french and britisch too. Germany was rising aß a superpower, since it united and was able to compete with the other powerhouses in Europe. Everyone wanted to fight to clear, who is the mightier colonial power. Germany didn't start the war, it joined because of contracts. Germany lost and was handeled aß the Bad opressor, who wanted to destroy everything. That was unfair, especially under these circumstances. This lead to poorness and hate against the allies in Germany, which helped a little guy to to rise up and create Something, that we now know aß the third Reich in our History books. Germany lost the war, but it didn't start the war. The loss just made it easy for the allies, to tell who should be punished and they made the germans the scapegoat.
@@townsley2 lol. There are three leading nations 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇨🇵 who have brutally conquered and plundered the half world in the last few centuries. And unfortunately many countries are still occupied by them today🤮👎🏻
during 1 st world war, french soldiers were fanatized and eager for revenge because of 1870-1871 war (they lost alsacia and lorraine). That's why they resist at Verdun 1916 and died instead of surrender. Verdun was the worst battle of all times. i visited the battlefield. there is a place (Douaumont) with millions of bones from unknown fallen soldiers and graves evrywhere. very moving. Poor young guys
It will take 700 years before they won't find any traces of WW1 anymore in their fields.
That’s true. And it’s sad that THAT is why they defended so hard considering the only reason they lost Alsace Lorraine was because of their emperor making poor diplomatic decisions
@@foolishsuckas shame napoleon took Berlin in 6 day
@@foolishsuckas C'est à l'État Major de l'époque qu'il faut dire ça ! 😁🖕
And they resisted only with the help of British and americans from 1917
Being French myself, seeing French soldiers as the enemy is interesting. The movie rightfully depicts them as ruthless, faceless killers; and this is exactly what enemy soldiers would look like seen from any side. Good or evil does not exist on a battlefield; it's only a matter of perspective. We would be presomptuous to believe that we would act any different if these events were to happen again, even though most of us have spent their entire lives in safety and peace. After enduring horrors for years, even the kindest of us would turn into a psychopath enjoying the sight of an enemy screaming in pain as he's burning alive. War has always revealed the darkest, most awful nature of mankind.
And I read that they were this ruthless because of losing the 1870-1871 war against Prussia 46 years ago (would also make the most outrageous demands in the treaty of Versailles, which would pave the way for the rise of the Nazis and turning the Weimar Republic
@@OperatorMax1993 Our defeat in 1870 and the loss of Alsace/Lorraine fed us with deep hatred towards Germany. Our soldiers in WWI had been raised with revengeful feelings since their youngest age. So yes, they were indeed eager to fight. The defeat of 1918 and the humiliating Treaty of Versailles we imposed on the Germans did exactly the same on their side, leading to the events of WWII.
Interestingly, France was among the first in Europe, if not the first, to extend its hand to Germany after WWII. The European Union actually finds its roots in the early post-war cooperation between our countries. The unbelievable amount of pain we inflicted to each other finally made us understand that we'd better build bridges rather than dig trenches. Our relationship keeps having ups and downs to this day, but I would say it works better than being arch enemies.
@@OperatorMax1993 LOL "outrageous" demands? The Versailles Treaty was actually lenient. Certainly more lenient than what the Germans had in store had the boot been on the other foot!
Spoken just like a Frenchman. Le poilus.
@@gobanito well, 46 years earlier the Germans didn't force France to pay for the next 100 years. Btw the last rate Germany paid for Versaille was in 2005.
Flamethrower operators were rarely taken prisoner, especially when their target survived. Captured flamethrower users were in many cases summarily executed.
@Gordon Freeman I mean looking at how taped together by hopes and prayers those things were im not surprised
@@gordonfreeman1359 Machine Gunners as well. No matter the side, if a trench was finally taken and an enemy machine gunner was captured, they were rarely taken prisoner.

WW1 Western Front has to be the hardest and most horrific battlefield man has ever endured in war, and it went on for 4 years. Absolutely insane.
Did you forget about the eastern front in ww2?
@@VG_164 The horrific nature of WW1 Trench warfare was almost unimaginable in its horrors and misery. The realization that your only fate was to sit in a trench for possibly years under the most horrific conditions with the rats and nonstop artillery barrages only to face an almost guaranteed death when you went over the top, the extreme mental stress of this fact alone is hard to fathom. Literally a meat grinder of men. I was fully aware of WW2 Eastern Front when i made that statement.
@@stuka80 Now drop the temperature by 40 degrees, throw in a bunch of civilians, mass genocide, mass starvation, higher causilties rate and two opponents with immense hatred towards each other never seen before and you get eastern front.
I really can't say I agree. The accounts of urban fighting in Stalingrad is the single most horrific conditions I have read about. And I say this after having read mamy accounts of trench warfare, including the book.
And the eastern front of ww1 is often very overlooked, but were arguably even more brutal than the western front. It shared many of the characteristics of the western front but even worse conditions.
@@VG_164 Ww1 was far worse for the soldiers themselves

@@joetroll9605That’s easy for you to say. A lot of the time (like in Russia today), if you’re an able-bodied man and you’re conscripted, you either fight or you’re killed, imprisoned, or tortured.

Sometimes brutality can only be stopped with overwhelming force.

I love this movie, and this scene in particular showed how brutal war can actually be, the mud and dirt of ww1 was not friendly to anyone, it was quite brutal in fact. This scene is brutal, and shows how terrifying war can be, which is why I love it.

My great-grandfather fought in WW1. He told my father that all they were doing is standing in the middle of the field at their full height and shooting each other after that they were running and throwing grenades under their feet. It was all like this
Wonderfully done scene showcasing the brutality of WWI. The fact that there are so few movies about this war (compared to WWII, at least) is a sin, as there are so many great stories to tell.
Obviously, like every couch expert and keyboard commando commenting movie scenes, I have to mention few small gripes so that the good readers can call me a nitpicking smart-ass.
1) The flamethrowers. Movies always get them wrong, though it is for practical and safety reasons. Movie prop flamethrowers use propane, and while adequate enough for special effects, it is a far cry from how terrifying the real things which use liquid fuel are. A wall of roiling flames and black smoke projected at a considerable distance and setting on fire everything between the target and the operator.
2) The flamethrower effects. Movies always show victims of incendiary attacks shrieking and wailing as they shamble about engulfed in flames, probably because that's what the audience expects from someone burning alive. In truth, the effects tended to vary greatly. Numerous accounts by flamethrower operators from WWII say that most of the time, enemies who were hit directly like in this scene didn't scream at all, or at most let out a short cry before collapsing. The combination of thermal shock and the inhalation of flames would swiftly render victims unconscious and swell their lungs, so that they wouldn't be able to scream even when they did feel the pain. More often than not flamethrower victims would survive the blast unscathed or with minimal injury, especially in WWI when the fuel mixtures weren't as deadly as WWII-era napalm. This usually happened in cold weather when the targets were wearing thick woolen greatcoats. In still other cases, targets were killed by oxygen depletion and carbon monoxide poisoning rather than the flames, so it would vary greatly. Point is, the real-world effects of the flamethrowers were seldom as spectacular as the war movie classic of screaming, flailing victims engulfed head to toe in fire.
3) Explosions. War films seldom convey just how powerful explosions on the battlefield are, again mostly for practicality and safety of the film crew. Whether anyone would have gotten out of that tank after taking a stick grenade inside can be open for debate, but what can be said with certainty is that the shell which knocks down Paul would have almost certainly been a dud. Someone who has a live artillery shell, however small, land right next to him just doesn't survive the experience conscious and with the same number of intact body parts he had before. A dud shell, however, can still throw men about and cause injury with the rush of air in its wake.
I think WW2 is favored because it was less morally ambiguous than WW1, when there was plenty of blame to go around. Also, WW1 battles were simply more brutal, it was mass slaughter in every direction. WW2 battles looked like battles, while WW1 was machine guns and artillery just destroying everything in sight.
oh you will be surprised, i recall an old war footage in Pacific during ww2, a Japanese soldier got flushed out of the bunker by a flamethrower and the soldier flails around rolling all over the place
@@joshuajoaquin5099 As I already pointed out, it could depend a lot on the circumstances. If they only got splashed with the fuel on parts of the body, they might run, flail and scream for sure but the ones who got caught in the blast directly and got hosed down in flame from head to toe usually expired pretty quickly and quietly (though not necessarily painlessly), according to first-hand accounts by flamethrower operators themselves. These different reactions can also be observed in recent ISIS and Cartel execution videos. In many of them, the victims struggle and scream surprisingly little for the pain they must be undergoing, and their reactions seem strongly correlated to how quickly and how much of their body is set on fire.
The US Army certainly argued at the time that death by flamethrower generally looked much worse than it was based on these accounts and some animal trials in which they incinerated live pigs. It was determined that at least in cases of full body burn, the targets would be swiftly incapacitated by thermal shock and the swelling and flooding of lungs after inhaling flaming fuel fumes. While victims would continue to move for some time after being set on fire, this was presumed to be mostly involuntary movement from the muscles shrinking and contracting in the heat. However, the study couldn't decisively determine whether and how long the victims remained conscious to feel any pain due to having their ability to express pain by vocalization or movement impaired by the fire.
Where there’s war, there’s brutality
makes me wonder if they go instantly unconscious when engulfed in flames and their body flailing everywhere is simply a physical response
nothing has changed, only the weapons.
Korrekt
Yeah. The weapons on todays battlefield are more effective. Terrible way to die!
Also Saving Private Ryan is racist because it doesn't feature diversity in its cast.
russia vs ukraine war has seen fewer deaths in one year and the entire country than a single ww1 battlefield. So no, you are wrong
@@cashewnuttel9054 the film focuses on a small group of soldiers, and that the U.S. army wasn't integrated at the time. In fact there was an all black rangers battalion in WW2 (2nd rangers airborne) an elite unit, but this again, is not diversity as we know it today because it was an homogenous unit of African Americans. Units were segregated in WW2 and the movie is faithful to that historical fact.
Ironically it was the Germans who introduced the flamethrower in WW1 against the French first
and chemical weapons too
Well if you make somthing that kills effectively everyone else is gonna use it
and everyone in the comments calling the French psychopathic monsters. People are so hypocritical
But it was the French who used poison gas first
@@Brough1111 No, it wasn't. The German military first used poison gas in Ypres on April 22, 1915. They used chlorine gas.

It really captured the feeling of Absolute violence unleashed by modern weapons of war. Chemical weapons, tanks, flamethrowers aren't evolutions of hunting weapons or tools. It's not a spear, or a sword that Is an oversized knife for fighting, or even a rifle. It's something made only to kill as many people It can, in as Little time possible. There Is no armor, no trench, no cover that Will save you. Really terrifying
This is tragically epic. The cinematography is phenomenally well shot.
Alberts death was terrifying, and it was as if the French flame trooper had absolutely no care for his screaming, and it was sad to hear him asking to surrender. It makes me angry that this happened a century ago.
And he has no care about the tank crew who were armless after getting out
Still a little shitty yeah, but im sure the tank crew had arms on them. He was legit begging and put down his weapons but was burned alive lmao

Well that was uncalled for. Flamethrowers as a weapon to clear trenches is brutal, but it's war I guess. Not taking a guy prisoner who is on his knees is messed up, but maybe in the heat of battle (pun intended) it wasn't an option. But ffs, at least have the decency to end it with a simple headshot or something instead of lighting him on fire.
The French were out of pity by the end of the war
It was the Germans that started using giant zippos to light up the enemy. So no quarters given.
Wasn't even the worst of this war.
This is when they started using Mustard gas and other types of poisonous gas on trenchlines, they basically liquefied your lungs while you were still alive... The shotgun was also invented during this time, and the Germans called it a brutal weapon because you could literally cut troops in half during a trench push with such a weapon. Of the gas, the flamethrowers, and the tanks, the shotgun was the weapon the Germans claimed was inhumane.
Earlier iterations of the shotgun date back to the 16th century, but the modern shotgun found it's use in this war.

True, when you see war or battle-videos in english on UA-cam, they will usually minimize French involvment in case of Allied victories, talk less about French victories but emphasize their defeats, with many videos about them (Agincourt, beginning of WWII..). In my opinion, doing so is the sign of the stil real Anglo-saxon feeling of both superiority and inferiority regarding the French. As everyone who studies history and facts - not opinons or propaganda material - knows France has had more military victories than England and Britain or the US (or Germany) and a far greater influence on British culture than the other way round (medieval England elites, who created the base for English power, were mainly French and imported French warfare models and customs). So it is very interesting to notice how the vast majority of English language videos of battles on UA-cam, even those made by accurate and impartial history channels, are nonetheless about English or American victories (or other countries), but very rarely French : in doing so they insidiously continue to spread this decadent and less "manly" image of France and the French compared to the Anglo-Saxon. I don't know why they do it but it is a bias which tells you about the dominant point of view on the internet, which is far from being objective - as a dominant narrative always is.
The French are the central power and the true winners of WW1
Look at this. No cell phones, no electric scooters. Just everyone playing outside and living in the moment
WW1 was something else.
While WW2 was far more deadly, the different new technologies introduced combined with the close quarter engagements of trenches just made it so brutal. No wonder they went insane.
Yep, and the terrible living conditions in the trench,
Imagine waking up from your sleep just to see a bunch of rats chewing your wounded hands
Oui.🗿
WW2 on the Russian front was at least as terrible. Violence that should never be seen again. Remember the Germans killed basically every Soviet prisoner they got, and the Soviets were nearly as brutal. When I think of the Western Front in WW1 or the Eastern Front in WW2 I always get sad.
@@gagagagagagagaism not every prisoner, im sure they kept the high ranking one alive,
The soviets didnt kill Friedrich Paulus when he surrendered at Stalingrad,
Idk about the Germans, but i remember they actually kept Stalin's son alive but later they killed him when Stalin refused to negotiate his exchange
Death seemed more industrial
French soldiers and flame throwers are no chill.
World War II might be the deadliest war ever but in my opinion World War I was the most horrific war to occur.
World War I introduced technology that was never seen before on a large skill such as artillery, tanks & planes though the latter two were still relatively new to the war. For example the tank was introduced in 1916 while planes were only invented in 1903 11 years before the war. Despite this the new arsenal gave soldiers advantage. For example tanks could crawl over No Man's Land and capture the opposing trenches, though the earliest ones were poorly built and sitting ducks for the enemy once they broke down. Planes could be used to observe enemy lines and drop messages and gun down enemies while artillery improved and could fire from 5 to 6 miles away behind the trenches. And of course poison gas arguably the most infamous weapon in the war.
And if it wasn't the weapons that killed the soldiers it was things like sinking in mud like quicksand, diseases like cholera.
It was the invention of the machine that changed ww1. Generals were using the same tactics they used with muskets, swarm with numbers to take position when they reloaded. 120 rounds per minunte heavy machine guns changed the rules.

This movie easily became one of my favorite war films because it managed to show the horror of war and the humanity of it with Paul and his friends. Most usually show one but not the other while this one captured both mesmerizingly
The fact that the flamethrower is underexagerated and still look menacing is terrifying
I liked how they fired back from a safe distance at the flame throwers hoping to bring as many down. In effect they were protecting their comrades
this is the principle behind the tactics of "fire and maneuver", a very important basic infantry level tactic in modern warfare involving firearms
I dont know how these guys did this. I watched Hacksaw Ridge the other day, the same thing with the battles at Iwo Jima, just utterly insane brutality. I think these guys must have gotten to a point where they just really didn't care if they died, somehow they were able to throw themselves into battle much like jumping out of a plane without a parachute. You know you will most likely die but somehow don't care

The term tank was an attempt to keep the machine secret.

what this comment proves is that private ryan never had any reason to be so well-made, low IQ modern audiences will see this shit as literally the same exact thing anyway
I really enjoyed how this movie portrayed the French as a ruthless adversary, comparable to how the Germans are portrayed in other movies. Instead of feeling relief of seeing those tanks roll up (like we would in a movie that follows a French soldier), it was portrayed as terrifying and something to truly dread.
Love war movies that show different points of view rather than following the same narrative of the victor. War isn’t black and white, and is hell for everyone involved.
(i'm French) We are ruthless, even today, check the war we manage... The French Elite made our defeat in 39 and the french elite made millions of french death during the WW1 by stupid charge. In my family story goes on generation by generation of how german where.... They are savage, brutal. Today, if you go to Berlin or hambourg... you anderstand, they can make car, but they can't think and know how to live, they don't have a good spirit.
This is exactly what I’d always wanted Star Wars to be
The most disturbing part for me was the dude getting burned even though hes begging for his life and surrendering with the enemy showing no emotion or mercy
Its sad, but in war its either you, or them. And you have to choose.
@@arcticfn4242 Bro the middle ages ended over 600 years ago. And we’re not on the pacific front.
@@KriegCommisar tf that gotta do with anything. all that matters is that if you dont shoot the person in front of you there gonna shoot you.
@@arcticfn4242 You are utterly clueless and completely have missed the point of the scene. There's a deliberate reason the scene was set up so the other Germans would be shot quickly and the last made to die an agonising death. Its nothing to do with 'you or them' mentality; it's the way they did it. Some viewers really lack perception
@@user-qi5jw2hg1c you acting as if I'm talking only about this specific point in the movie. I'm talking about war in general.
It always saddens me how many people think shooting a flamethrower tank sets everything alight, unless you got some special bullets he is a little roughed up from the pressure release but orherwise fine.
Amazing. Incredible scene.
The St. Chalmond is still one of the coolest tanks ever made
I will never talk trash about the French army again,those dudes were ruthless 😬
you don't get the most battles won and wars from not nothing
Something I don't think gets the recognition it deserves is how good Katczinsky is as a section commander under fire.
Off the line he's somewhat quiet and introverted, and happy to let others take the lead.
Under fire he's courageous, realistic, a calm and clear thinker under pressure, and exercises a very firm and direct method of command that's totally different to his behaviour off the line
Germany : Shotguns Flamethrower Tanks not cool!
Allies : Chemical Gas not cool!
They're both wrong, all those things are cool as fuck
"flamethrowers are humane" said every person who's never been on a battlefield in thier life
This is one of the best war movies in my opinion but i highly recommend watching it in german with subtitles instead of english!
Imagine watching the English dubbed version
Dude this movie was gut wrenching 😳 should be shown in school before lunch(like they did Saving Private Ryan at my high school😆)
tbh i feel bad for those soldiers in the trenches on fire, so brutal :(
0:22 must have been dreadful for the men stuck inside
2:25 Damn that was dark
0:22 well perhaps they shouldnt be that tank.
When the US entered the war in 1917 they used shotguns to clear out trenches. They were highly effective at clearing out trenches as they could easily take out several men at once. So deadly was it at trench clearing that even Kaiser Wilhelm II denounced it as "barbaric and ungentlemanly warfare."
Did Kaiser Wilhelm II condemn the war as barbaric and ungentlemanly? A soldier killed a soldier, and Kaiser Wilhelm II killed millions of soldiers. Politicians are fighting for their power and ordinary people are dying.
Los americanos se cagaban encima al ver a los alemanes. Tipos que llevaban casi cuatro años en las trincheras, contra unos recién llegados sin experiencia en combate, y que usaban tácticas más parecidas a las usadas en la guerra de secesión, que a las que se usaban en esta guerra. Su influencia en el desarrollo de la guerra no fue decisiva, y el número de bajas, en relación al número de soldados que vieron acción, fue simplemente escalofriante. Pero no pasa nada, se hacen dos o tres películas y ya nos creemos que ganaron solos la guerra.
@@Xx-pg9do éstos gringos ignorantes bro, se siguen creyendo todo lo que Hollywood les cuenta
Kaiser Wilhelm II saying this is peak irony. What a bastard
@@Xx-pg9do Tu estas muy equivocado. Los alemanes le dieron el nombre de "perros del diablo" a los americanos cuando llegaron a la guerra. Les tenian temor desde bien temprano en la guerra. Lea lo que paso en la batalla de Bellawood en Francia. Hay fue donde los alemanes les dijieron "tifel hunden." No se de donde tu recibes tu informacion.
"War don't ennoble men, it turns 'em into dogs. It poisons the soul."
GREAT, GREAT FILM.......WELL DESERVED ALL THE BAFTAS WON....."War is a place where young people who don't know each other and don't hate each other kill each other, by the decision of old people who know each other and hate each other, but don't kill each other." (Erich Hartmann)........
Brutal !
*All Quiet on the Western Front*
like we didn’t know.
@@auruxwilldecideyourfate full of dead soldier's which makes it quiet
I was Quiet when i see this
Tbh the english title makes no sense. The original german title is "Im Westen nichts neues" (nothing new in the west)
@@derBleistiftkritzler Yep, the French traduction is pretty similar "À l'ouest rien de nouveau". Litteraly, "nothing new in the west".
This is a flammenwerfer. It werfs flammen.
"war is fun" kid should know it's a hell on earth
Ironically, it was the Germans that first used the dreaded flamethrowers in warfare, also the same case with Gas.
My great grandfather's (british) survived the somme and passendale what horror they went through
Flamethrowers moving in line formation 😂
sure master we are waiting for your genius tactil ww1 knowledge.. please teach us what you made? Perhaps you know better than historians ? XD XD... omg all those kids... Go back playing BF1.
According to actual historians, yeah, flamethrowers were NOT used with this tactic
9/10 us flamethrowers died in ww2. WW 1 was even more fighting in open no mans land. But sure believe filmmakers.
@@petitflocon647 LOL somebody's mad 🤣
Why does this scene go so well with do you belive in magic by a lovin' spoonful
That is the history of FIREMAN 😂😂😂
The Germans were the first to use flamethrowers in 1914, and gas in 1915 for the first time...
El gas fue usado por los ingleses por primera vez y también los ingleses fueron los primeros en bombardear con aviones una población civil.
@@Xx-pg9do what is the date of these bombings and where?
Ok maybe the Germans were the bad guys for using it first but the allies were like, oh cool! A new toy to play with!
Apart from the ancient Greeks, who used it as a long-range (for the day) naval weapon...modern scientists have still not worked out how they did it with the materials and technology of the time.
@@richardsimpson3792 there were a lot of Greek soldiers during the first world war do you think?🤣
Did anyone else notice how close Paul came to death when the bullet barely grazed his helmet at 1:20?
Oh yeah, I saw a little spark on his helmet.
This should be mandatory footage for anybody considering going to war. That and a walk through the Veterans hospital.
Whoever composed the music deserves an oscar it personifies death
Met an old WWII brazilian veteran when i was 9, he said he did not see much action, but what he saw he would like to forget.
Go back to Germany
Flame thrower units were also very vulnerable as they could have easily been picked out. The reservoir was very flammable.
There are very, very few movies which get flamethrower casualties right. Flamethrowers do things like make your body parts melt completely off and make you vomit fire while your eyes blow out of your head.
Nobody asked, nobody cares.
It's the most unimaginably terrifying & excruciating way to go. No one should have to endure it. The only acceptable end is a bunch of immediate mercy headshots.
@@Justin-zz4yh I agree. Yet at the same time in the rare but theoretically possible event of a invasion from space or a zombie apocalypse or the rise of the planet of the apes or something like that I want the flamethrowers. The 1980s The Blob movie got flamethrower casualties right, but the practical effects to do that were costly, I'm sure.
@@Justin-zz4yh No, even worse is what the Chernobyl firefighters had to endure.
the actual flamethrower spewed napalm liquid out
This shows how traumatizing war can be
0:48 It's like a war in ancient China or ancient the Middle East.
I enjoyed this film then now I have to watch it again. The end was 😢 but it’s life
Nam the film
Kropp was firing very ineffectively right before he tried to surrender. I saw some footage from WW1 where you can see a German laying prone on a hill, firing a rifle basically over the heads of two advancing British soldiers who should have been very easy to hit. He wasn't aiming or anything just operating the bolt and firing as soon as he could. The Brits were walking not running, and looked like they didn't even know he was there. I have no idea what to make of it, unless it was from some old movie instead of actual footage.
Maybe he was missing on purpose hoping the british soldier would realise this and spare him
@@BrainLikeEggYoke Hard to say. maybe it was from the final moments of the war and they were all really not into it.
My guess is that he was just exhausted and overwhelmed at that point. He just wanted to run and barely had any strength to aim and shoot properly with all the madness around him.
@@AAAmedia1994 Maybe.
They posed no threat to him, he might not have wanted to kill them. Or it was a movie
War is the LOWEST possible point humans can descend to. It´s just mind boggling.
PTSD in its finest
I can just imagine a western front soldier of any country in a room with men who fought on other fronts in the war hearing them explain how tough it was and the western front soldier either shaking his head or being unsympathetic
