This impressed me immensely..........I'm a Brit but have always considered the French to have been very brave during both World Wars. Sometimes it is easy to comment but I can't even begin to image the suffering of both soldiers and civilians during these conflicts. Vive la France. May ALL of those who suffered be resting in peace.

I am studying WW I in great depth and agree about the seemingly stupidity of the tactics - but I am at a loss to see how once the nations were at war what other options they had. The technology did not exist to have sufficient and reliable armored or mechanized forces break through (the tanks broke down in a only a few hours - and did not reach the field anyway until mid 1916). I have been trying to see how else they could have fought and remain at a loss sadly.

L'ami, Vidéo incroyable. Peut-être la présentation la plus précise de Guerre de Tranchée de 1916. Le déménagement, déranger, atroce, ces hommes de France était courageux pour le pays. Nous pouvoir ne les oublie jamais et qu'ils ont fait.
Friend, Incredible video. Perhaps the most accurate presentation of Trench Warfare from 1916. Moving, disturbing, horrific, these men of France were brave for the country. May we never forget them and what they did.

Incroyable,et d'une intensité ultime.Les 1ers rangs sont quasi-certains de tomber,et pourtant ils avançaient,faisaient leur devoir.La chose qui me dégoûte toujours,ce sont ceux qui étaient "embusqués",aux arrières,par relation/pistonnage,pendant que les fils du peuple,ouvriers et paysans en majorité,se faisaient trucider.
Pensée pour mon arrière grand-père,caporal au 23e régiment d'infanterie coloniale,tué à l'ennemi le 10/10/18 près de Bazancourt(marne).

My Great Grandfather was in the US Army in WWI. I have deep respect for the Men of the Great War. Your Grandfather was a hero. Vive La France!!!

The most stupid war, fought on the most stupid way, and the idiots responsible where made rich or had a lifetime of chopping wood for their villa in exile instead of being dragged out of their homes and killed the way they had killed millions of young men. Such a waste.

what a waste of life.
Monsieur, je suis Américain, et je respecte immensément la France et les soldats Français pendant la Grande Guerre. Je ne comprends pourquoi mes compatriotes se moquent parfois de la France. Moi, je suis francophile! Merci pour avoir raconté l'histoire de votre arrière grand père. Il était héros.

@adrienadidou2 oui ! quand il a ramené son corps le Capitaine était déjà mort de ses blessures...mon arrière GP a été grièvement blessé au bras gauche au cours de cette initiative, il fut amputé de son bras. Décoré de la Légion d'honneur il mourrut en 1970 à 82 ans.
