when you think milions of people died in that war. and today, when theres only 1 or 2 soldiers killed in a fight in afghanista, iraq or anywhere in the world, they make a whole big deal about it

Those were the times when it was seen to be a sign of authority to have a moustache. Hence, most officers had one. Amazing footage and a 5-star video.

War is like a game of chess.

I think ppl confuse the germans from ww1 and ww2. These guys didnt give up their lives for freedom they gave it up to weaken another power who was gaining territory, classic british tactics, ally with the weak to crush the other big powers, GJ!

Its true the war was Germany's fault, not the black hand nor capitalists. They planned it out and even had a 1912 Conference to go over small details. Once Germany was ready they went to war in 1914 deliberately!

Onewaytom, I agree. The war was well planned by Germany and it was a deliberate offensive action by them. But for some reason there is still this perception that the both sides 'fell' into the war.
