I hate it how all of the comments on these videos have to erupt into arguments. I have a question. In your opinions how do you think the war would have turned out without U.S assistance? I'm American by the way, and I understand that we didn't declare war until the very end in 1917. Not looking for a fight.

@THthefirst France isn't known for its lovely sunnyness in the north only comes around every so often. These things have time schedules you can't wait around for a sunny day
-
@TheXxVIP3RxX obviously, but surely if you go to the trouble of filming all that, with the uniforms, trenches, men etc, you could wait till a reasonably sunny day?
-
@THthefirst must be what the conditions were like on the day of filming
-
why is it shown as being muddy, when in fact 1 July was a blistering hot day.

@DJsharp707 Typical American Idiot, The propaganda you guys are told is pathetic. The US Forces only arrived after the last desperate attempt by the Germans to break the British-Commonwealth-French Forces ended in disaster. The war started in 1914, Yet the US Forces only arrived 1918. Italy played a bigger role during the war. Germany was left alone desperate, After Ottomans were defeated & Austro-Hungary gave up. Where was this million men?
-
@DJsharp707 Do you mean "won" the war? As for that suggestion, I disagree, given that Britain and France had worn Germany down over 3 years, had suffered many times more casualties, had killed more germans, had put more troops into the field etc than the US. Britain also invented the tank, which helped to win the war, well before the US joined. That is not to say the US did not contribute, but to claim it "won" the war is pure nonsense.

But,You don't salute the 1 000 000 French dead in this war ? That's fine.

I dare say that the soldiers on the field had more respect for the Germans than some people alive today do.
both sides suffered great casualties
As Canadian who's grand dad was there from beginning to end + 2 years to clean up the mess. I salute the Germans and the British people for being put into this situation.

"many british infantry units were ordered to advance at walking pace"
actually, this is nonsense and a C20 myth
Rawlinson's tactical notes to div commanders said nothing about the way the troops were to attack - these decisions were taken on a unit by unit basis - the majority took up positions in no mans land AHEAD of zero hour, others rushed the German lines. There is little evidence of many units marching slowly - that myth developed in the 1960s.
