Just wanted to thank you and the Verdun team for a fascinating episode, I personally visited the region in mid summer 2015 and found Douamont (on a beautiful, still summers evening, without another person there) to be very profoundly moving, the sound of just birdsong and the view over the forest that surrounds the site was such a paradox to the energy of hatred that prevailed there just over 100 years ago. Explaining to a friend about my experience, I said " it was so quiet that it was as if there was no sound left to describe the horror", which in retrospect was poetic but so so true. Thanks again

An incredible game that succeeds to balance real life history, atmosphere and fun gameplay! Perhaps we could see more videos linking content from WW1 video games to the real history? My pick would the excellent Toy Soldiers, it really captures the grim destruction of the war through the less confronting lense of virtual model dioramas.

@jmkbartsch 6 жыл бұрын
There were up to 70.000 nuclear warheads during the height of the cold war. Nowadays estimates vary between 10 and 15 thousand of which about 4000 are deployed. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_arms_race#/media/File:US_and_USSR_nuclear_stockpiles.svg). Also it is very noteworthy, that in the last 70 years more than 2000 nukes have been detonated on this planet, most of those due to the USSR and the US. The combined explosive energy would equal about 35000 times the hiroshima nuclear bomb respectivly. (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jaeepLWCzJO7YJ8.html) There is also the interesting hypothesis that this excessive use of nuclear arms may also have had an impact on the global climate, thought in my opinion there is not enough evidence yet to proof that claim. I just think it's an interesting sidenote.

Dear Indy and crew, I have been a fan of The Great War channel on KZfaq since it was only a few months old. At the time my interest and knowledge in the Great War was pretty low. Since that day you guys have inspired me to learn everything I can about it. So much so that when my girlfriend and I went to Paris for ten days I insisted we spend some time exploring the battlefields of Verdun. It was a mind blowing experience to see the earth still so incredibly churned up 100 years later. It only hints to the hell those poor soldiers had to experience. The cemetery outside of the ossuary was a sobering reminder of the lives lost there during that battle. We explored the grounds and the cold damp tunnels of Fort Douaumont and Fort de Vaux. Our trip to Verdun was incredible and eye opening. I would never have had the experience if it weren't for your channel. So thank you, from the both of us, for the hard work you guys do every week to keep history alive. Sincerely, Mike F'ing Bond

@bishop9757 7 жыл бұрын
None of the others officially used them on the front. Trench gun is a term used for a modified winchester design. British military looked at using sawnoff shotguns but scrapped it due to the low rate offire and lack of range (ment man had to carry multiple weapons) There is a French booklet on trench assaults that suggests using shotguns but not found anything on them using any.

Excellent video and very special to get those details about Douaumont from the developpers who spent countless hours modeling it in their game. I play Verdun from almost the beginning (back in the time there were only 3 maps and the French and Germans) and it's a great game. The evolution of this game was amazing. You're doing a very good work, like the Great War channel !

I visited Verdun in 1998 with my unit and it is an incredibly tragic battlefield. It was never restored following the battle. The French mausoleum is so sad with the thousands of thousands of soldiers remains piled on top of each other. :(

Pipsy Verdun was way longer it lasted 9 months, 3 weeks and 6 days, while Stalingrad lasted 5 months, 1 week and 3 days. However Stalingrad still remains the bloodiest battle in history.

They did actually build slit-trenches towards the back that acted as privies. But it was usually just a bucket to do your business in. Soldiers were put on regular ablution duties to empty them...probably as punishment!

Question for out of the trenches: How did the various gases used by both sides react with fire? I figure there would be problems using a flamethrower in the aftermath of a gas attack if the gas could caught fire. Love the show, cheers from Sweden!
