@ChannelxNo5 Well I'm like 99% sure that both Adolf Hitler, and Herman Goering as well as Eric Ludendorf were all Nazi's, and they all participated in WW1
@MirelleLaRouge And now? Btw. Ludendorf was Völkischer. And Hitler aswell as Göring were normal soldiers at this time. For example: Göring became Nazi in the middle of the twenties. And Hitler was socialist in the years of 1919 to 1921.
But now tell me. Why is the Prussian Army nazi? It was an group of brave fighting men like the British Army or the US Expedition Corps!
@volumex2000 Not all of them were Nazi's.... The famous German general Erwin Rommel was not a Nazi and in fact he hated it, but as a soldier he had to do his duty for Germany.
Witzig. Der Film spielt im Ersten Weltkrieg, schön preußischer Gehorsam und damals war das Deutsche Kaiserreich übrigens mit der Türkei verbündet. Kurzum, "Da waren die Deutschen noch ein Volk, alles ja sager und Türkenfreunde."
Natürlich gibt es sehr tolle Türkische Nachbarn,leider sind diese eher die Ausnahme.
Von dem Dreckspack,welches am Bahnhof Menschen tot schlägt,rede ich jetzt gar nicht sonst werde ich verrückt hier.
Im Jahr 2012 gibt es noch Muslime in der Uni,welche sich weigern sich neben "Deutsche" zu setzen, diese Bürger mit Migrationshintergrund möchten lieber einen Platz bei ihres gleichen.
Auch wenn kein Platz frei ist,mit einem Kopftuch setzen sie ihre Ziele gekonnt durch! Da fehlen mir echt die Worte!
Okay, ich meinte auch eher unsere Politik mit "Türkenfreunden"!
Ich sollte besser das Wort "Ausländerfreunde" benutzen.
Mir kommt es langsam vor, das alle Parteien im Multi Kulti Wahn hängen und nicht mehr den Ausgang finden.
Wir haben genug Probleme hier, diese sollten gelöst werden. Aber nein,es wird immer wieder die "Armer Ausländer" Nummer gezogen. Das diese nicht mehr Arm sind und uns alle verarschen, bemerkt leider immer nur der kleine Malocher.
Das ist der "Preußische Präsentiermarsch Friedrich Wilhelm". Wird heute noch bei Staatsempfängen hier in Deutschland gespielt - und bei zig Schützenfesten im ganzen Land.
EUROPA ist das wichtigste heutzutage..auch wenn es uns nicht immer schmecken mag.
Ich liebe mein Deutschland und ich bin sehr stolz ein Deutscher zu sein, dennoch sind wir nicht alleine auf der Welt und müssen uns öffnen für Andere(s).
Deswegen muss man weder rechts noch links denken :)
Leider sehe ich immer mehr, wie unsere "Deutschen Tugenden" mehr und mehr verfallen..
Wo sind Höflichkeit,Ehrlichkeit, Sauberkeit, Pünktlichkeit und Ordnung geblieben?
Germany in 1918 was stand at 50 kilometers of Paris gates, strong and win figths, so...¿ what the hell happen?...a mistery, Germany winning the war and from one day to another all stop, Germany lost the war...jews, my friends...the conspiracy and lies of jews and they bank agents over the German economy, the anarchy ideas over german society and lies and deception about the result of war destroy everything, the trust of people, the currency, and the more important, the spirit of young people...
@carloko08 You are ignoring the role of masons, aliens and triffid plants. And knights templars. Maybe Hitler - your source - didn't have all answers?
I agree with gosuc's comments. Not only does it sound weird to hear Wilhelm II adressing his soldiers in "Enklish". But these youg actors look like well fed students, not like soldiers out of the trenches. All combatants' diaries I have read bear witness that in 1918 German soldiers were hungry and war-weary – even if they kept fighting well until late in the summer.
The film has no sense for details. The escort of the emperor didnt have motorcycles, let alone the ones shown here. Typically for american movies, the Germans, especially the emperor are shown rediculous, not even half as smart as their enemy.
Anyway, I think the record of these soldiers are second to none, because they simultaneously had to fight the Russians, British, French, Americans, the Japanese and - as the faith turned against us - Italy. They deserved respect from the enemy as well.
@gosuc I'm sure you are right about the authenticity. I don't know about Germans being portrayed as absurd...take a look at All Quiet on the Western Front. I agree that autocrats are not likely to be held in high esteem in our movies.
the most boring matter that you forgot, while celebrating the german soldiers, is something that I want to remember is that they defeated almost all their enemies, and what is more annoying and absurd to be heard is that the Russians soldiers during the First world war had to oppose flesh to guns; however in the great victories at the Russian Front in 1914-15 many soldiers of Germany and Austria fell dead and wounded; so can anyone explain to me why 90.000 soldiers of central empires
turned out to be killed and wounded , when ammunitions lacked or were scarce? The truth is that there is a kind of prejudice when the military victory in the historical comments are Germans or Austrian, whereas the allied military victory are always full of bugles' sounds; great victories were achieved by Germans in Russia against the Romanov armies but all act as if they didn't happen;historically it cannot be accepted; many German soldiers died also when they achieved great victories
and they didn't die only at Verdun and in the battle of the Somme; the most part of German soldiers died at the Western Front but many fell also on the Eastern Front, defeating the Russians. Besides it is technically impossible that all the German soldiers fighting the Russian emperor's troops died because of bayonet's injuries; so it might have been true that Russians had difficulties with ammunitions, but it cannot explain all the reasons for their defeats against the central empires
@Faber9722 I am the last who wouldnt recognize the effort and bravery of the enemies. If the Russian leaders decided to oppose flesh against guns (at the end), then its their responsibility. Ok the number of soldiers killed in action speaks for itsself. But I am against the way Germans are depicted in anglo-american moovies. Furthermore accepting all the effort and bravery of the enemies at the westfront, no one ever mentioned the other countries Germany fought against simultaneously
THEY SWELL THE VICTORY OF THE DEMOCRACIES AND OF THEIR ALLIES AT THEIR PLEASURE WITHOUT REALIZING THAT IT WAS A VICTORY OF COALITION AND IT TAKES AWAY IN OPPOSITE SENSES MEANING TO THEIR VICTORY
@gosuc The only reason they HAD to fight (as you put it) was because of the arrogant stupid politicians wanting to playing soldiers. With other peoples lives, of course.
I agree. But this was significant for all countries involved in WWI.
No country seriously tried to prevent the war. The increasing number of soldiers in all armies before the war proofs it ..
But you are right, if only the generals had to fight with their soldiers shoulder by shoulder, the war might have been over after 6 weeks with less blood being shed - but I know, this is only wishful thinking ...
A small philological mistake, probably due to the fact it is a US movie: The Lancers are trotting American style (butt-to-saddle) instead of "Continental" or British-style (butt-in-counter-tempo-to-saddle)...

At 0:16 you can see the same signs on John Boy's shoulders. But both are only corporals in the movie, as far as I know, and the age doesn't have anything to do with it. German soldiers weren't professional soldiers but drafted. So, Borgnine's character did his military service as a young man and left the army as a corporal. And when the war broke out, he was draftet and still a corporal.
Ach, Sie sind auch ein Teutone? ;-) Das ist nicht nur möglich, sondern völlig normal. Ich z.B. bin Hauptgefreiter der Reserve. Wenn es in 20 Jahren zum Krieg kommt, werde ich noch immer Hauptgefreiter der Reserve sein und mit diesem Dienstgrad wieder eingezogen werden. Und im Kaiserreich gab es eben nur den einen Mannschaftsdienstgrad. Wer während seines Grundwehrdienstes nicht die Unteroffizier-, Feldwebel- oder Offizierlaufbahn einschlug, war eben Gefreiter.
@xWEHRWOLFx Da gebe ich dir recht. Auch das Buch ,,Im Westen nichts Neues" ist Mist. Erich Maria Remarque war zwar Soldat im Krieg, aber nur weil er eingezogen wurde und an der Front war er auch nie. Nur schön hinten beim Nachschub wo es sicher war.
@Shadouge4thewin Greetings from Spain. As far as I know, it has no name. But you can find here in Youtube under the denomination "Marsch aus der zeit - Friedrichs des Grossen", which I think means "march from the times of Frederick the Great of Prussia". Kind regards,
"All Quiet on The Western Fron" was required reading when I was in school, it is sad to think that the horror of war as so well portrayed by author Andre Remarque is ignored. If our young understood this lesson maybe they would not follow the orders of old men.
Das ist nicht der preussische Präsentiergriff. Der preussische Präsentiergriff erfolgt nach dem Kommando "Das Gewehr - über!" "Achtung! Präsentiert das - Gewehr!"
This movie certainly has a good way of portraying the once mighty German army in the First World War before it's inevitable defeat to the Allies. The men died honorably and bravely, for their families and country. I think we should take the time to remember them all.
@samusgalacticwarrior I would not say "inevitable defeat". Germany during WWI was in the same conditions of France and England in 1917. The difference was made by the american support to the italian army and to the french army after that year.
@suzukibandit650 That is very true. The armies on all sides of the war, the U.S., England, Germany and France all fought up to the last minutes until the cease fire was made. A big point in this is that the armies that fought for the first three years were very angry and tired of fighting, so they continued fighting with everything they had. No one could predict that the war would go on for four years, and because of that, each side had tired itself out until the bitter end.
@Pawnbroker00 Okay, Britain it is. And yes, everyone suffered considerably. Especially with the technology like u- boats, aircraft bombs and other types of new firearms made the battlefields very deadly. So it's arguable that any and every soldier who survived the war would have said the same thing... that no one today would have known what the conflict was really like unless one had been there for himself.
@suzukibandit650 Why do people always perpetuate this myth? The idea that the yanks came storming in and pushed the war inestimably in the Allies favour? They didn't - strategically, the British & French had already defeated the Germans in the west; the Americans largely helped by boosting flagging moral, especially on the French side - that's all. The major fighting and battles were conducted by the British Empire & the French.
@CharlesDilkes "strategically, the British & French had already defeated the Germans in the west" - debatable.
..."the Americans largely helped by boosting flagging moral, especially on the French side - that's all"... True. But you're forgetting corn, wheat, and materiél supplied to the Allies.
@CharlesDilkes debatable by anyone who knows their dates. Now, don't misunderstand me. I have no reason to support "the idea that the yanks came storming in", etc. etc. I just am respectful of History, inasmuch as it is made with dates and data, and not emotional phrases, and not "ifs".
As for the commodities bought, yes. But at favorable prices by a non-Ally (at the time) who did not sell to the other side. Wonder why? Woodrow Wilson had his difficulties in Congress even with that!
@TheYellowJack I was alluding to names of historians...
I don't know what you mean by 'favourable prices' either. Britain was economically crippled because of the war; United States benefited, economically, to an enormous degree.
@CharlesDilkes Let me find the names of the historians - I prefer to answer immediately, meanwhile - but I personally believe that "common sense" is sufficient, especially if applied to dates, which don't change.
Of course the US benefited (I don't know why but I have the feeling you take me for an acritical pro-American), did not deny that. But again, common sense: prices were "political" and goods were not sold to Germany. What does that make you think?
@CharlesDilkes just to quote a significant example: The German Spring Offensive of 1918 actually succeeded in rupturing the Allied line at a point where the Allies had no significant reserves. British PM David Lloyd George has gone on record for saying - in 1918!!! - "We are going to lose this war".
Can check that... Meanwhile I am leafing through a particular book by Henry Kissinger to find one opinion I find quite balanced and credible.
@CharlesDilkes by the way, I'd like to remind you that in March 1918 - just 6 months before the Armistice - Germany had signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, freeing divisions for the Western Front...
@CharlesDilkes Here: Kissinger in "Diplomacy" states - or rather, reminds us - that Germany at the time of Armistice did NOT have a single foreign troop on its territory. While France was ravaged.
I personally doubt that had the Germans held fast, the only UK would have defeated the Central Powers, unless the "morale" side of US entry into the War, bringing 250000 fresh men, broke Germany's determination to keep fighting.
@CharlesDilkes Remain convinced of that. I'm not planning to waste my breath. Logic, though, wants that with Divisions freed from the Eastern Front, Germany was ready for an all-new offensive on the West.
@TheYellowJack The Spring Offensive, an act of desperation, was an all or nothing campaign (bring an unconditional surrender from France - highly unlikely) - the Germans lost and failed their objective.
@suzukibandit650: "The difference was made by the american support to the italian army". In what D.C. Comic did you read THAT?!?
The Italian Army - as usual under-supplied and badly led - assisted by some French and British troops on the Piave front, this time won practically on its own.
With some help from the drought that was ravaging Europe.
Italians and Germans hardly ever fought. It was Italy vs Austria-Hungary.
Please, Italy won just one war. But it did. Don't take THAT away, please...
@samusgalacticwarrior inevitable defeat? bullshit. they almost won. without the US entering the war (and American material support prior to that) with fresh American troops in 1917 after the end of the Russian Empire they would have won.
@toomanyfires If the Spring Offensives had been carried off, then Germany would have won. Though they also would probably have won the war by knocking Russia out of the war faster by dedicating more troops and better engaging with their allies.
Best of all these, the war wouldn't have been the nightmare-fest it developed into if not for reckless foreign policy that wound up shattering Europe.
Hindsight, I fear, is 20/20. But it is always good to remember the way things fell.
@toomanyfires Well, Germany was pretty tough throughout both the world wars. They demonstrated that superior numbers and their industrial might could potentially have won the wars had they not made a few small mistakes that took place in the battles. Just so you know, Russia had poorly trained soldiers and their lack of good organization had them in a tough spot in WWI. They greatly improved those ethics in the second war.
@samusgalacticwarrior no forget that about superior numbers and industrial power. forget about the british empire and france - the USA alone had way more people and industrial might. Russia/the SOVIET UNION too and the germans faught them BOTH. you need to read up on what made the german military so damn good. they were the by far most efficient fighting power of its time. read what military historians wrote about the wehrmacht and the eastern front.
@toomanyfires I know that. Germany had been an imperial government for a number of years. Let's not forget that the Germans defeated several enemy forces in several wars long before firearms even existed. They used cunning tactics like guerilla warfare and the element of surprise. They were very good and disciplined so they made quite an army when it came to whatever kinds of combat confronted them.
@samusgalacticwarrior You are funny, ze Germans told how to build and organize a army! Thats the reason why the US still hold the General von Steuben parade , because these von Steuben was send from Prussia to teach you how to build a modern effective army and also founded West Point.
@Rick2010100 Very interesting indeed! Von Steuben is quite a figure here in this country and even though we fought them twice, we still owe Germany a lot of credit for their achievements throughout their long history. ( Not the Holocaust though, that was not a good thing )
The only good Prussian/Nazi is a dead Prussian/Nazi. All of them were/are scum of the earth.

you easily can see ernest borgnine presenting his rifle with the "unteroffizier"-signs on his shoulders! he looks too old for this degree!
helldamnation13 3 months ago
At 0:16 you can see the same signs on John Boy's shoulders. But both are only corporals in the movie, as far as I know, and the age doesn't have anything to do with it. German soldiers weren't professional soldiers but drafted. So, Borgnine's character did his military service as a young man and left the army as a corporal. And when the war broke out, he was draftet and still a corporal.

@HerrWagnerfreund ja. hast recht. so kann es gewesen, Borgnine nach langer Abwesenheit wieder einberufen, deshalb dieses unpassende Alter!

Ach, Sie sind auch ein Teutone? ;-) Das ist nicht nur möglich, sondern völlig normal. Ich z.B. bin Hauptgefreiter der Reserve. Wenn es in 20 Jahren zum Krieg kommt, werde ich noch immer Hauptgefreiter der Reserve sein und mit diesem Dienstgrad wieder eingezogen werden. Und im Kaiserreich gab es eben nur den einen Mannschaftsdienstgrad. Wer während seines Grundwehrdienstes nicht die Unteroffizier-, Feldwebel- oder Offizierlaufbahn einschlug, war eben Gefreiter.

@xWEHRWOLFx Da gebe ich dir recht. Auch das Buch ,,Im Westen nichts Neues" ist Mist. Erich Maria Remarque war zwar Soldat im Krieg, aber nur weil er eingezogen wurde und an der Front war er auch nie. Nur schön hinten beim Nachschub wo es sicher war.

@Shadouge4thewin Greetings from Spain. As far as I know, it has no name. But you can find here in Youtube under the denomination "Marsch aus der zeit - Friedrichs des Grossen", which I think means "march from the times of Frederick the Great of Prussia". Kind regards,

"All Quiet on The Western Fron" was required reading when I was in school, it is sad to think that the horror of war as so well portrayed by author Andre Remarque is ignored. If our young understood this lesson maybe they would not follow the orders of old men.

This movie certainly has a good way of portraying the once mighty German army in the First World War before it's inevitable defeat to the Allies. The men died honorably and bravely, for their families and country. I think we should take the time to remember them all.
samusgalacticwarrior 8 months ago 46
@samusgalacticwarrior I would not say "inevitable defeat". Germany during WWI was in the same conditions of France and England in 1917. The difference was made by the american support to the italian army and to the french army after that year.
suzukibandit650 3 months ago
@suzukibandit650 That is very true. The armies on all sides of the war, the U.S., England, Germany and France all fought up to the last minutes until the cease fire was made. A big point in this is that the armies that fought for the first three years were very angry and tired of fighting, so they continued fighting with everything they had. No one could predict that the war would go on for four years, and because of that, each side had tired itself out until the bitter end.

Pawnbroker00 3 months ago
@Pawnbroker00 Okay, Britain it is. And yes, everyone suffered considerably. Especially with the technology like u- boats, aircraft bombs and other types of new firearms made the battlefields very deadly. So it's arguable that any and every soldier who survived the war would have said the same thing... that no one today would have known what the conflict was really like unless one had been there for himself.
samusgalacticwarrior 3 months ago
@suzukibandit650 Why do people always perpetuate this myth? The idea that the yanks came storming in and pushed the war inestimably in the Allies favour? They didn't - strategically, the British & French had already defeated the Germans in the west; the Americans largely helped by boosting flagging moral, especially on the French side - that's all. The major fighting and battles were conducted by the British Empire & the French.

@CharlesDilkes "strategically, the British & French had already defeated the Germans in the west" - debatable.
..."the Americans largely helped by boosting flagging moral, especially on the French side - that's all"... True. But you're forgetting corn, wheat, and materiél supplied to the Allies.

@TheYellowJack Debatable by whom? Names please.
As for the second part, yes commodities & goods bought and paid for.
CharlesDilkes 1 month ago
@CharlesDilkes debatable by anyone who knows their dates. Now, don't misunderstand me. I have no reason to support "the idea that the yanks came storming in", etc. etc. I just am respectful of History, inasmuch as it is made with dates and data, and not emotional phrases, and not "ifs".
As for the commodities bought, yes. But at favorable prices by a non-Ally (at the time) who did not sell to the other side. Wonder why? Woodrow Wilson had his difficulties in Congress even with that!
TheYellowJack 1 month ago
@TheYellowJack I was alluding to names of historians...
I don't know what you mean by 'favourable prices' either. Britain was economically crippled because of the war; United States benefited, economically, to an enormous degree.
CharlesDilkes 1 month ago
@CharlesDilkes Let me find the names of the historians - I prefer to answer immediately, meanwhile - but I personally believe that "common sense" is sufficient, especially if applied to dates, which don't change.
Of course the US benefited (I don't know why but I have the feeling you take me for an acritical pro-American), did not deny that. But again, common sense: prices were "political" and goods were not sold to Germany. What does that make you think?
TheYellowJack 1 month ago
@CharlesDilkes just to quote a significant example: The German Spring Offensive of 1918 actually succeeded in rupturing the Allied line at a point where the Allies had no significant reserves. British PM David Lloyd George has gone on record for saying - in 1918!!! - "We are going to lose this war".
Can check that... Meanwhile I am leafing through a particular book by Henry Kissinger to find one opinion I find quite balanced and credible.
TheYellowJack 1 month ago
@CharlesDilkes by the way, I'd like to remind you that in March 1918 - just 6 months before the Armistice - Germany had signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, freeing divisions for the Western Front...
TheYellowJack 1 month ago
@CharlesDilkes Here: Kissinger in "Diplomacy" states - or rather, reminds us - that Germany at the time of Armistice did NOT have a single foreign troop on its territory. While France was ravaged.
I personally doubt that had the Germans held fast, the only UK would have defeated the Central Powers, unless the "morale" side of US entry into the War, bringing 250000 fresh men, broke Germany's determination to keep fighting.
TheYellowJack 1 month ago
@TheYellowJack Yes I know, but so what? Germany was strategically defeated.
CharlesDilkes 1 month ago
@CharlesDilkes Remain convinced of that. I'm not planning to waste my breath. Logic, though, wants that with Divisions freed from the Eastern Front, Germany was ready for an all-new offensive on the West.
TheYellowJack 1 month ago
@TheYellowJack Evidence? Divisions from the eastern front were used to reinforce the Hindenburg Line.

@TheYellowJack Yes I know, and they still didn't manage to break British-French lines.

@TheYellowJack The Spring Offensive, an act of desperation, was an all or nothing campaign (bring an unconditional surrender from France - highly unlikely) - the Germans lost and failed their objective.

@suzukibandit650: "The difference was made by the american support to the italian army". In what D.C. Comic did you read THAT?!?
The Italian Army - as usual under-supplied and badly led - assisted by some French and British troops on the Piave front, this time won practically on its own.
With some help from the drought that was ravaging Europe.
Italians and Germans hardly ever fought. It was Italy vs Austria-Hungary.
Please, Italy won just one war. But it did. Don't take THAT away, please...

@samusgalacticwarrior inevitable defeat? bullshit. they almost won. without the US entering the war (and American material support prior to that) with fresh American troops in 1917 after the end of the Russian Empire they would have won.
toomanyfires 2 months ago
@toomanyfires If the Spring Offensives had been carried off, then Germany would have won. Though they also would probably have won the war by knocking Russia out of the war faster by dedicating more troops and better engaging with their allies.
Best of all these, the war wouldn't have been the nightmare-fest it developed into if not for reckless foreign policy that wound up shattering Europe.
Hindsight, I fear, is 20/20. But it is always good to remember the way things fell.
CityofLight11 2 months ago
@toomanyfires Well, Germany was pretty tough throughout both the world wars. They demonstrated that superior numbers and their industrial might could potentially have won the wars had they not made a few small mistakes that took place in the battles. Just so you know, Russia had poorly trained soldiers and their lack of good organization had them in a tough spot in WWI. They greatly improved those ethics in the second war.
samusgalacticwarrior 2 months ago
@samusgalacticwarrior no forget that about superior numbers and industrial power. forget about the british empire and france - the USA alone had way more people and industrial might. Russia/the SOVIET UNION too and the germans faught them BOTH. you need to read up on what made the german military so damn good. they were the by far most efficient fighting power of its time. read what military historians wrote about the wehrmacht and the eastern front.
toomanyfires 2 months ago
@toomanyfires I know that. Germany had been an imperial government for a number of years. Let's not forget that the Germans defeated several enemy forces in several wars long before firearms even existed. They used cunning tactics like guerilla warfare and the element of surprise. They were very good and disciplined so they made quite an army when it came to whatever kinds of combat confronted them.
samusgalacticwarrior 2 months ago
@samusgalacticwarrior You are funny, ze Germans told how to build and organize a army! Thats the reason why the US still hold the General von Steuben parade , because these von Steuben was send from Prussia to teach you how to build a modern effective army and also founded West Point.
