Passchendaele #1 (WW1)

- Canadian soldiers are pinned down by a German machine gun nest in a Belgian village during WW1.
Taken from the 2008 movie 'Passchendaele', the scene at the end with the young German soldier was based on the experiences of actor/producer/director Paul Gross's grandfather, who killed a young soldier in just this manner, and it haunted him to his dying day. The horror of war and no mistake.
I worked on this film in 2007. God, I was filthy. I was actually talking to the guy who supplied the trench mirror used in this scene 3 days ago.
Wow, that is ultra cool! What were you? Were you an extra or in the crew?
@@foreverblueclassics I was an extra, but being as I did have military experience, I did get 2 days of what was called "Special Skills". We got to shoot at Paul Grosse as he ran up to pull down the Canadian kid who was hung up on the wire. That basically doubled your pay for the day. Did one day of artillery fire as well.
@@TheSteveRobinson That sounds like a dream job to me! Thanks for your input. I think this is the first time anyone who was in a movie I've taken a clip from has ever commented on it. So cool!
@@foreverblueclassics I saw it in the theatre, bought the DVD and watched 3 times... where am I? I was just to the left in this shot, just to the right in that shot, peeking out of a trench in this shot, etc. I finally discovered that during the opening scene of the film, the solitary German soldier advancing across No Man's Land is me!
@@TheSteveRobinson It all sounds like part of the fun of being an extra! It's a strange film this one. The action scenes are excellent but they concentrated far too much on the relationship between the soldier and the nurse and I found those scenes kind of dragged. But when the war action comes it is very well done and overall it's a good WW1 movie. I wish I'd had the experiences you had taking part in it, that's for sure!
Canadian actor/producer director actually took part of this scene from his own grandfathers actual WW1 combat experience. He and his grandfather had been very close, and the only person his grandfather told about allot of it was his grandson..Paul. He bayoneted, a German kid in the forehead just like in this scene. It haunted him the rest of his life. On his death bed he stated, "God Forgive me"... Only his grandson..Paul, knew what that was about.. Paul did "Hyena Road" a few years ago. Also pretty good.
Yes, it was such a sad story about this grandfather as it haunted him to his dying breath. We can't imagine the damage war does to men, even those who survive intact in body.
my grandfather ,was killed in the somme he was 26 years ,of age in bef Canadian s.remember,films are not real ,wars are.👍
Evidently the German soldier was so young the sutures in his head had not fused yet. I mean why else would a bayonet penetrate quarter inch of bone with a gentle little thrust. And to top it off, not get stuck. It was also brilliant strategy to use his buddy's body as a human shield. How did he know that an 8mm Mauser bullet can be stopped by a human body. I would have thought it would have passed through both of them and not even begin to tumble yet.
The germans experimented with slaves in WW2.
A standard 8mm Mauser bullet fired from a K98 Mauser penetrated 7 to 8 human chests when the humans stood close one behind the other.
One human body was no protection at all against theses full power military full jacketed rounds....
It would have absolutely shot through both. A standard 8mm K98 round with go through steel plate half in thick and it looks like a drill press went through it. MG rounds were usually a hotter load on top of it.
I have always loved this scene, how morbid it sounds. He was in a very difficult position, I think. The german soldier probably had a mother, father, brother, sister, girlfriend… all waiting for him to come home, so to stab him right in the forehead and killing him instantly, must be one of the hardest things to do. He is just like you, but when you stand there you will (I guess) have to think: If I let him live, what will he do? Stab me as soon as I turn my back? Once he gets home, will he tell everyone he meets how evil my men and my unit was? All these questions, and nobody to answer them, so you must assume the worst and kill a human being already in great pain. The whole ordeal is; Its either you or him that gets to live and tell the tale.
Yes, the real horrors of war indeed. We can just be grateful it's not a decision we have to make and live with. Many thanks for your comment!
@@foreverblueclassics No problem, you have always delivered quality content since I subscribed. 🙂
@@FullCourseRacingDK Thank you! You are very kind 👍😍
That is true but he was part of the CEF (Canadian Expeditionary Force) and most were ruthless so they would rather take him dead than alive even if their young cause your in an active warzone
Horror
I love when he's pumping her to the tune of accurate enemy artillery fire. That parts the best.
Director - "How fake do you want the scene"
Executive Producer - "Yes"
I know this comment is a year old but please explain what made this scene fake? I’m curious.
yeah fr explain
They finally cycled a round into the chamber at 2:00? Glad I wasnt with them.
I ve lived near Passchendaele ... the mud scene was great. .. what a missed opportunity ... thank god for AQOTEF ..
My grandfather was in France. Arrived Christmas 1914 didn’t leave until 1918.
He told me a story of advancing past a German machine gun position. He said the guy was chained to his gun and every man that that passed him put his bayonet into his corpse. There was nothing left but chopped meat.
It's terrible what people will do in war. They'd never do that in "normal" times.
Sounds like a German prisoner soldier given the choice...be executed or die fighting???
Just like SOE agents were taught how to cut throats silently by "giving" them men who were to be executed by the British.. (hung for murder, rape etc.)
and were offered the chance to do one final thing for their country..
allow themselves to killed by an agent in training.
My grandfather William, born in 1887, Alpini Fiamme Verdi, italian front, has runned on those battlefields. It was not a movie. He was a Survivor. Rip. MV
👍
4:00 They shoot at him with MG08 in Mauser 7.92 cartridge. Bullets should've gone cleanly through the body he uses as a shield and kill him.
Only a few bullets got in. Body's are known for sending bullets off track so even if it did hit him it'll only get the pouch, canteen n shit like that

RIP ALL WHO DIED IN WW 1 WW2 AND ALL WARS SINCE AMEN
It was a terrible war but we should never forget those who fought in it. They had no choice but they were the ones with dignity.
My grandfather served in France with the Kings Royal Rifles. Wounded in action, but survived the war.
@@TheSteveRobinson thank you for the re ply may they all r i p and rise in glory amen
@@TheSteveRobinson 👍💜
I don’t get why they were all cool and collected and then when they’re basically safe skinner just goes insane?
War does strange things to people I guess.
Yes, the best scene from this movie. After that it kind of fell apart in terms of story and action.
It ends quite well but in between there's a helluva lot of mush.
@@foreverblueclassics Yeah, but there is something missing as in "1917" that is called suspense.
@@rolfagten857 Got to admit I wasn't a great fan of '1917'. Saw it once, it was OK but wouldn't rush to watch again. The new 'All Quiet On The Western Front' is better I think.
@@foreverblueclassics Yes "All quiet Front" (2022) is good but covers a different story than the 2 predecessors from 1930 and 1979. And the tunnel scene with that rat was much better than the one from "The Young Indiana Jones chronicles and the trenches of hell". There was a scene that also went over an under-avoided tunnel during the battle of the Somme in 1916. Much more exciting and then you at least see an enemy.
@Rolf Agten I like that the new one is different from the first two. At least it stands in its own side the battle scenes are well done.

Buona serata foreverblueclassics :)⭐ Un bel film con molta azione come sempre , grazie e complimenti ✨❤ il soldato non avrebbe dovuto uccidere il giovane tedesco gli stava stringendo la mano e credo fosse ferito 😮 La colomba volante alla fine simboleggia un' anima defunta🐦 ??
Buonasera amico mio, sei gentilissimo come sempre 😍. Purtroppo questo evento è realmente accaduto 😪. L'attore che interpreta il ruolo principale, Paul Gross, sapeva che suo nonno era turbato da qualcosa e un giorno finalmente gli disse che quando combatté nella prima guerra mondiale una volta uccise un giovane soldato tedesco "con gli occhi come l'acqua" con una baionetta in fronte. Lo perseguitava per il resto dei suoi giorni e sul suo letto morente continuava a ripetere ancora e ancora "per favore perdonami, per favore perdonami" e solo Gross sapeva per cosa stava implorando perdono - decenni dopo che era successo. Il vero orrore della guerra, ed è stato bello da parte dell'attore includerlo quando ha realizzato il film (lo ha anche diretto e prodotto). Non c'è vera gloria nella vera guerra, solo dolore e orrore e fa così tanto danno alle menti di così tanti. Grazie ancora per il tuo gentile commento 💙🍷😍!
@@foreverblueclassics Ciao amico mio :) Quindi un fatto reale riguardante suo nonno ! ! Non posso dargli torto perché non so cosa farei al suo posto , purtroppo la guerra cambia il carattere 😢 Mi auguro che non vivremo più guerre e che la guerra in Ucraina finista 🌹
@@rikaweimann6063 Buona sera amico mio 💜! Sì, non sarebbe meglio se tutte le guerre fossero combattute solo sullo schermo e non nella vita reale, e poi qualcuno potesse gridare "taglia" alla fine e tutti tornassero a casa sani e salvi 💥🙂. Se solo questo potesse accadere! Molte grazie ancora per i tuoi bei commenti 😍🥂!

Congratulations on being first! It's a good movie when they concentrate on the war scenes but I wish they'd cut down on the love interest with the nurse. It went on too long!
@@foreverblueclassics yup...they have to go with war and love life sadly

What episode of Blackadder is that?

What a great fight clip mate! After the shots are arranged one after another, the final conflict scene is so reasonable. First, the UK soldier who was lucky enough to survive the attack woke up, but he did not abandon his duty to continue fighting, and what he saw was that many of his comrades were killed by the hateful soldiers of the invading country. His anger is completely conceivable! After fighting bravely, he captured the enemy, at this time, the ridiculous soldier of the invader country actually wanted to surrender in exchange for a chance to live, as if to say : yes, I killed some of your comrades, I am sorry, but I am Surrender now, I surrender! Forget about your comrades, I am a prisoner of war, you can't kill me, haha! I don't know what others think, but I think the same as the British soldier, that cunning man just looks like a hateful enemy, he is not a non-combatant! He surrendered? No, it's still fighting! Go to hell! He avenged many of his fallen comrades, and rightfully so. Maybe someone will accuse him, but at least I won't. This video is so brilliant mate! You always upload a lot of good videos that I haven't seen, thank you very much!
Thank you mate, you are very kind as always! I uploaded this scene many years ago (it's still way down my channel) but this is a much clearer version so better. This scene is actually based on a real event, so it is very sad. The main actor (he also produced and directed it) knew there was something eating away at his grandfather and one day he told him of the time he'd bayoneted a young German soldier "with eyes like water" through the forehead. As he lay on his dying bed he kept repeating over and over again "forgive me, forgive me" and only Paul Gross (the actor) knew what he was begging forgiveness for. This was many decades after the event so it just shows how the horrors of war can haunt a man the rest of his days. It was war and people do horrible things to each other in it. Let's just be glad we don't have to know what it is like for real! I will do more from this movie soon I hope, so keep viewing! Many thanks again!
@@foreverblueclassics I am quite aware that as long as a person with a conscience may be remorseful or even have PTSD for what happened on the battlefield. If I were him, I would tell that poor old man who was tortured because of benevolence and kindness: You did nothing wrong! You were not a soldier of an invading country! You were protecting your family and compatriots from the hateful aggressors, there are many people were saved because of you! The invaders should be damned, and they should be condemned. Let that poor old hero get the honor and peace he deserved for fighting for his country. Don't know how he comforted the poor old man at that time, it would be a pity if he didn't say anything. Anyway, thank you for uploading such a good video mate!
@@ObserverAtMidnight Yes, it is very sad. Gross didn't say to anyone what the old man was talking about so they were all mystified. We'd like to think such things would stop war, but still it goes on today - look at Ukraine. Anyway, thank you again for your great comment!
Pretty sure they are Canadian soldiers
@@EthanJoice It's my mistake, thank you.
I can't believe,Why the soldier kill a boy?
Anger, after he'd killed his friends. He regrets it later as it haunts him.
@@foreverblueclassics Maybe the soldier is a gay?
@@jackiekwok5125 I don't get why you think that? He's definitely not as he goes on to have an affair with a nurse.
@@foreverblueclassics I see he kill a boy in this movie.
@@jackiekwok5125 He is a soldier. But the way he does it is not good.
Embarrassing to watch.
Они шли с белым, флагом, что бы кинуть немцам гранату?
Он не собирался бросать гранату, но совершил ошибку, сняв ее с пояса, и в результате немцы застрелили его, что привело к тому, что другой канадский солдат атаковал их пулеметное гнездо и в конечном итоге убил их. Туман войны.
I thought Canadians had British accents.

So this is what a Canadian movie looks like. I hate to say it, but this is worse than a Hollywood B movie.
