This is my tribute to the casualties of the most horrific war in history. These images should be forever etched in the collective mind of humanity.

Hi,

Thank you for the nice comment. I got the photos from all over the internet. I can't really remember all of the places. Just try google image search and you will come across some galleries.

I personally think this was the most horrorific war because of the instruments and methods they developed to kill eachother as painfull as possible. Every second huge explosions made the trench shake somethimes for 6 ours long. The fear of being bombed. Bloodfilled trenches. Screaming soldiers in no mans land eaten alive by the rats with no help to come. Man to man combat with shovels. Mustard gas resulting in horrible deaths. And dont forget the awful smell of the dead bodies everywhere.

Astounding, truly astounding and you made my hamster cry.

A very impressive compilation!

I've been in Verdun this year to visit the battlefield and see the remains which are still all over the place. Even last year a visitor was killed by a grenade from 14-18, the whole area is still covered with holes, trenches, memorials, steel, wire.

2:43 Is that the electric curtin on the Dutch-Belgium border?

I agree, even though WW2 got millions of civilians dead, I still think this was the most insane and horrible war in the whole history of western culture.

...and still no one seems to remember this.. that's just ... sad-

If you have not either read the book or seen one of the two movies titled "All Quiet On the Western Front" I urge you two read/see AT LEAST one of them. It is a vivid and accurate depiction of the soldiers' lives on the front and at home. The Author, Remarque, is a great writer. The story is compelling and dramatic with a grand plot. In all, what you have said in this video is just like his opinion; "War is hell".
