World War I Survivors Prototype

[blazing722]

is there any one left now???

[pdk4]

thank you for your brave and great sservice that you did for all of U.S.A. you paid the ultimate sacrifice thank you all.

[KBSmite2]

thats what i hate the most. nobody really cares about ww1. they think of the war not being so important. ww2 might have more casualties but the first world war sparked the second in a lot of ways. (when did the last german ww1 veteran die? id like to know.)

[ZacharyFilms]

Now there are 3 of them left, God bless them all.

[oldskoolmacboy]

Sad thing is they never saw themselves as heroes. They were young kids in the middle of a terrible war. What a waste of human life. Bloody politicians.

[checkeredsmiley]

they gave there today for our tommorow.

[paranormalman41]

thank you to all that served in ww1

[CrazyCoyote100]

I haven't found a single video on Claude Choules, if anyone does, send me a message please, and thank you!!!

[NukeIt2Bdone]

Maybe he doesn't do interviews

[SouthernTexan2]

Henry Allingham is now dead a Real hero

[LINAZAS]

Only 5 veterans remain.. Frank Buckles , Henry Allingham , Harry Patch , Cloude Choles and John Babock

[powermetal4eva]

Anyone know where to find videos of the veterans when they were younger?

[AngryBlizzard]

It is amazing what you are doing for these ppl so i support you in what you are doing.

[IgorNeverDies]

What makes these guys more heroic than the 65 million that are dead now?

[daniel2177]

Seems like your historical perspective and warfare reality awareness for WWI remain inexistent in your person.

[IgorNeverDies]

Why is this?

[chowthe1st]

maybe that they have lived with the memories the longest and are the last living eyes to judge a world and recognise its flaws..I doubt many of them would have wanted to be called a hero though,just a messenger that has travelled very far. in that way 'heroic', an undying sense of duty to the many they knew and lost to overlook the progression of civility without ignorance to its cost

[samuriguy909]

@IgorNeverDies because ww1 was one of the most brutal wars of all time

[7995productions]

0:55 Looks Like my Grandad

[edwardrowe555]

ww1 is 4gotten and hidden behind ww2. It should be remebered 4 the courage of the men (on both sides) to go over the top 2 fight knowing that there was a gd chance they would die

"Im the only one left..."- Harry Patch

One of the bravest men who ever lived.

The people who fought and died to defend the free world so that people today can live without fear.

Yet 90 years after 'the war to end all wars'was over, there still exists so much hatred in the world.

We will remember them.

[neildjreid]

this is truely amazing. these are the last voices to tell the story..i wish i could meet them and shake there hands and say thank you very much for what they did for us..they dont have long left now and i will be so sad when they are gone and then it will be lost in history for ever...god bless them all.. and god bless the last tommey harry patch

[bulldogbrawn]

god bless these surviors they should be knighted.

[keypointist]

There are no German survivors left, that's why. Instead of the knee jerk politically correct response you should have considered the possibility that there are no German survivors.

[IgnatzKolisch]

Franz Künstler was the last confirmed Central Powers veteran, and he died in May of this year (2008). He wasn't German, though. At the time I write this, only 9 verified veterans remain.

As for World War, I have come to the conclusion that it was the most pointless of wars. There was no "good guy" or "bad guy" in that one, as could certainly be made for the case of Nazis or the Japanese being "bad guys" for atrocities commited on horrific scales. But WW1? Colonies, theft...

Long live Patch!

[ScientologyIsfalse]

great vid, I wish there were more videos about ww1, its so interesting and i've certainly gotten my share of ww2.
