The Battle of Vimy Ridge

[Cookiesareg1]

The amazing thing is that it showed the world that Canada could do something! The French couldn't take the ridge or the British but the Canadian Corps did by themselves fighting as a single unit. It was really the birth of Canada.

the video footage on this isn't acally from vimy. They didn't have video cameras on the battlefield

[killuguy]

Actually your wrong, they did have video cameras, but alot of this footage isn't from vimy some of it is....but an MG42 lol thats a WWII German Machine gun.

[cfcknighty]

I have been there, the Brits had 18 mines, 16 detonated, one expolded in te 50's and one still hasnt gone off! they have to use sheep to cut the grass around this area of belgium and im sure lots of others places, to avoid harm to people if a shell goes off! And at 1:35 is not actual footage, its a re-enactment for the film "The Somme".

i did this for my heritage fair years back :)

The use of tunnels to get the infantry to the middle of the battlefield was key. It allowed them to emerge behind the creeping barage. It was also the first time flash sounding was used to knock out German guns individually instead of by massive barage. Nice video, very honarable.

[johnnytubeaccount]

At 1:37, is that a guy being shot, or is he just hiding?

[yawnier]

hes most probably dead or a wimp to charge

how is there a 1942 weapon in this vid? if this is the 90th aniversary then that means this was from WWI about 20 years too soon

[checkurfacts]

I saw that too. The German two man Spandau? Thought I'd let it go.

[mortier2007]

At 2:10 theres a german MG42 wich is a ww2 weapon build in 1942.

Love that BF1942 music :P 4/5
