[rata9009]

[T1JumpTIX]

1903 still one of the most accurate rifles in the entire world.

[shaider1982]

Too bad, Hitler was lucky enough to survive WW 1.

[RyanBrooksby]

@shaider1982

Well we thank ourselves such an idiot ruled Germany. What if (gasp) someone who was actually competent ruled Germany? they could've ruled the world!

(afterall Hitler was a retard at tactics.)

[BassDudeBear]

Sir, thank you so much for posting this up. I have been looking for this episode, as well as the civil war one for longer than I wish to remember.

I shall be sending my first born son in the post to you, so you may receive him as a sacrifice to your greatness.

[Rebelcommander6]

Soldiers could make it out of this if they were brave, skillful and lucky!

[unphazed123]

[killa0129]

10:53 "it would be an awsome weapon to be behind or in front of " what you wanna be in front!

These trenches are in the sun and well kept. The trenches our ancestors fought in were covered in mud, filled with rats & diseases, combined with icy winds, big downpours of rain and were often so low, one could not stand up, hurting your back. One step up straight, could kill you. Now add that to a constant tornado of noise coming from (machine)guns, canons, grenades, screams, gas attacks, ... Now you know what hell on earth was like... You could meet 100 people a day and be lonely by night...

[Nix6p]

I'm disappointed that he didn't mention the kukri.

[Wallace01]

thank you for posting these!!



[tuerkefechi]

That was nice.

[SpadaccinoLuciano]

Disapointed that theres not a single mention of the Italian Arditi.

[Ponyboy8877]

Actually I think trench warfare was started during the America Civil War 1864-65.

[SpadaccinoLuciano]

@Ponyboy8877 It started as far back as ancient times, but WWI was its peak and when it was used the most.

[crox342]

@Ponyboy8877 no it started during the siege of sebastopol in the crimean war

[Tareltonlives]

@crox342 Don't forget the New Zealand land wars, and long before then, siege trenches in the 17th century

[JimbobHarrigan1984]

@Ponyboy8877 the siege of Petersburg in 1864-65 comes to mind

[DarkenedYeastExtract]

The Saw Blades for cutting trees! Honest!

[thomasnbishop]

this is so in accurate but its better than an old bloke explaining it

[grayseers]

is there a dvd of this and where do you get it?

[MartianSanta]

@Gabbafoo it started when a bloke called Archie Duke shot an ostrich 'cause he was hungry.

[FinalFreek]

@MartianSanta AH! i see we have a blackadder fan amogst us. sir i salute you BAAAHH!

[gingertwins]

@MartianSanta ostrich? wasn't it a pigeon?

[Antepenult]

@Gabbafoo It didn't say they started WWI. It said they initiated Trench Warfare, which is accurate.

[MasterUnited15]

@Gabbafoo i think they were talking about trench warfare not ww1

[Suomipanzerdiv13]

@Gabbafoo He meant "trench warfare" not "world war one". After the "miracle at Marne" both sides dug in.

[ludoalta]

@Gabbafoo No. They say the Germans started TRENCH WARFARE in 1914, not WWI.

[MartianSanta]

ok fellas if this argument continues i'l have to start deleting comments

6–12 September, French and British troops were able to force a German retreat north of the Aisne River, where the Germans dug themselves up.The first major trench lines were completed in late November 1914. the trenches were built by both sides. and that's the end of that !

[TheNorthernSoulKing]

Thank you so much for posting this I have been looking all over. Do you have the civil war one

[MartianSanta]

@TheNorthernSoulKing no, i posted all the episodes i have

[TheNorthernSoulKing]

@MartianSanta Thank you though what ever happened to this series and the history channle? I want to see some real history not swamp loggers and swamp people seems like most of the shows should be on discovery or spike

[timeismovement]

Best way to survive the trenches was to be in one of the boring places and not get the spanish flu, wasn't it?

[JamesGamesish]

@timeismovement i know an even better way just dont enter the war

[timeismovement]

@JamesGamesish All too true
