Where they committed numerous atrocities on non combatant population in occupied Serbia as a payback for all those humiliating defeats early in the war!They killed civilians when victorious and when defeated they would leave their Typhus ridden soldiers to Serbians to take care off and that rather quickly spread among Serbian soldiers and civilians equally and is one of the major reasons of the defeat and subsequent occupation of Serbia!

@@pittino70 Well in the early stages of the war almost no army used helmets. Helmets were used in massive numbers cca from 1916/1917. I have one photo of him in his uniform next to his wife and he has a cap on his head like most of A-H soldiers.

Same here. My great Grandfather fought also in this war and was on the Russian front.

@@saiien2 The French and Germans experimented in 1915 - a French version was basically a metal bowl placed over the skull and the cloth cap was supposed to sit on top of that. The Adrian helmet was brought in over the winter of 1915-16, the Germans began introducing their "coal scuttle" early in 1916 and the British introduced the Brodie helmet in spring 1916. The introduction was gradual, some Germans facing the British on the Somme on July 1, 1916 still had only cloth caps and Pickelhaube leather helmets with the spike removed. Late that month a German officer survived a shrapnel hit to his head - he had only been issued a steel helmet a few days earlier and without it the shrapnel might have killed him.

The K.u.K army was hell

And the following book "Kapuzinergruft "as well.

@@knut-hinrichqwalter2463 Good too, but I felt it was too rushed and recycled too many characters from the former :(

@Futurus Europae Unfortunately not, but I have considered it

,,The Transylvanian Trilogy'' by graf Miklos Banffy describe the life of high maghiar aristocracy at the end of ninethen century. Very good writting.

Great book but not historically accurate.

through Triest?

Indeed, the first month of war almost annihilated the old officer corps of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. I recently tried to find background information on the death of my great-grandmother's brother (a k.u.k. Lt.-Col. of infantry who was mortally wounded the first day his regiment encountered the Russians in Galicia, 107 years ago to the day), and found John R. Schindler's book Fall of the Double Eagle (2015) to be a very thorough and gripping history of that debacle. To make things worse, the k.u.k. general staff hadn't fought a war against a European power since 1866, and hadn't bothered to keep up with the tremendous development of artillery during those 48 years, so their preferred tactics were to let their men march into the enemy's cannon fire in packed ranks as if they were on a parade ground...

@@chevalierdupapillon The incompetence at the higher levels of the K.u.K Armee certainly aggravated the damage that actual combat inflicted on A-H forces. Their army was the only major field force that got SMALLER during the decade preceding the outbreak in 1914. The veto of the Hungarian Diet was most responsible for the lack of funding that limited training, investment in modern armaments and technology. One thing that really contributed to the immense losses was that many regiments were brought up to strength by reservists in their 30's and 40's who couldn't handle the marching in the August heat, and their training was hopelessly outdated. This led to the "hurrah taktik", the bayonet charges through the hail of Russian shrapnel and bullets that cut men down in droves. Oddly, the work of the 'Evidenzbureau', the intelligence branch was spot on in it's evaluations and predictions.

@@davidmurray5399 Inappropriate equipment was a problem for all armies in August 1914. The main problem with the Austro-Hungarian Army was that Russia was not expected to enter the war. The deployment in Galicia was therefore only improvised and ended accordingly. My great grandfather was one of the reservists, he was missing in action in Galicia.

It wasn't just artillery development that they hadn't kept up with. The Russo-Japanese and Balkan Wars had completely changed small unit tactics and how command and control worked. This was particularly evident against the Serbian Army, whose officers knew to use terrain to shield infantry, and not to bunch up in large formations. The A-H Army kept trying to use older, larger column formations commanded by senior field officers, and were consistently outmaneuvered by the smaller Serbian formations, in spite of their numerical superiority in every category.

To make things worse, those quickly dying pre-war officers were picked to be able to somewhat communicate in the languages of their subordinates. This quality could not be maintained with their replacements, so the overall performance suffered even more.

There's a common misconception that everyone was eager for war and rearing to go but this wasn't really the case. Many Europeans wanted no part in this but were thrown into this terrible conflict.

@@firingallcylinders2949 - What was it that brought you to that conclution? There are many, many cntepory articles from newspapers, both with long held attitudes for or against, many thousands of dairy entries made in the lead up to, and the first year or more, that are brimming with the very same (and today, so very much more dangerous) kind of unthinking, uncaring "their all beasts, and should all be put into a shallow grave", and "hurrah for the Armies/Navies of (f i l l i n b l a n k)", and WHO could blame them? In the Europe of their Day, and let's not forget that although it may be, and rightly so is, called a "World War", the overwhelming majority of the fighting that took place in the War, occured on European soil. The Europe of that time was SO very, VERY different in almost every concievable way,, that to just hand wave away the true enthusiasm held for this conflict by every strata of society, in ALL the beligerant Nations in this "mightiest of conflagrations", is to I think "miss the point" that these very ordinary, run of the mill type of people were trying to tell us from way back over this ocean of time. You might also keep in mind, the fact that for so very, VERY many of the writers or those they wrote to or about, a great deal of them were speaking of, or too, a Man related to them in the first person, I.E : - a Father, Brother, Cousin, Son or even beloved Husband and Father of Children of their own. Secondnly, it was very easy for the Press of the day, to let us say "make an oaf, out of an oaf", which is to say, report EXACTLY what Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, had to say of the goings on in the international relations of his day. Now, what the, er, "Good Kaiser" didn't seem to factor in (or maybe he did, but for very deeply held psychological reasons, that we may but only "muse" about in 2020, but, never the less, are just as important now as they have ever been) is just how badly his blustering, and bellicose statements were taken by the World at large, particularly by the English and their Empire, and most of all, when one considers that this Man was the "eldest and most beloved" of all the Grandchildren of Queen Victoria. I could go on ranting all day, but I shall not bore you, or anyone else further, unless perhaps they may be so enclined. My last point was to be about the compulsory years of Military Service a Man might have been called upon to do, between the ages of 16-45, and also how this varied, between Country to Country, keeping in mind all the while that these were of course very real, living breathing blood and bone human beings, that were a VERY great deal MORE UNLIKELY, than LIKELY to come home after being wounded, much less killed outright, witch in those day was more or less considered by the Men to be "more of a blessing", than a long, drawn out death in a disease filled hospital. Hence the great hope held in a "swift victory" "home by Christmas" malarky!! Sorry, I do carry on .... I'll see myself out now!!!

Before no man's land, before lunar landscape.

@@firingallcylinders2949 In France, the propaganda was such that French boys wanted to go but as soon as they were thrown in the war, against their German cousins, they immediately understood the total nonsense and tragedy and bath of blood that will occur against their European Christian neighbours, they said NEVER AGAIN. Thats why they didnt want to be part in any war against any European country since then... including WW2. The stupidity of it. And for which reason in 1914?! My grandfather fought in the trenches and inhaled so much gas that he had severe lungs problems all his life after that. We have a common moto in France that says "All French men died during WWI" whether directly during the war or after it because of the direct consequences of the conflits and the extreme physical and mental trauma caused by it.This was a total disaster for the country that we are still paying and have NEVER totally recovered from.

This is a 3-part TV adaptation from 1994 and only available in German. They could at least have added French and English audio and subs, after all France and Germany co-produced it together with ORF.

This was the Austro-Hungarian empire, many nationalities called it home.

@Абдульзефир Yes, of course, all the nationalities thought that they would be better off if they had their own state. I'm not saying like the UK with Brexit. ;) But there is also the Kapuzinergruft, the continuation of Radetzkymarsch. In it, another relative of the Trottas, who stayed in Sipolje in Croatia, tells a relative in a Viennese coffee house what he used to lead a beautiful life in the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. For food he had a small field and a pasture for three cows, for money a small forest of chestnuts. Every year he went to the Christmas markets with the chestnuts in Budapest, Bratislava, Vienna, Prague and Lviv. But now, after World War I, it's all over. He cannot earn any more money in Yugoslavia because everyone has chestnut trees there. And for the visas between the whole countries he would have to pay more than the nuts are worth.

Even though this scene diverts a bit from the source material, in the book he is shot in the head but still conscious for a little while. He tries to speak but his mouth doesn't move as his body grows cold, then he dies. This might be a little mistake or maybe (it's unlikely though) they tried to portray the book version of his death.

@@michaelbuchinger6191 Danke schön/Thank you!

Vraiment ? 🇨🇵

The hanged priests seem to be orthodox. The burning church on the other hand seems to be Roman Catholic, according to the style of architecture. The Eastern front stretched through Poland, which was - and is - a Roman Catholic country. At that time Poland did not exist as a free country but was divided between Austria, Russia and Prussia/Germany. It is quite unclear what orthodox priests did in Poland, but perhaps there might have been orthodox congregations in the part of Poland which then was held by Russia. In this case the hanging might have been a retaliation for these priests who had prayed for and blessed the enemy soldiers. Or they were suspected as spies. But all this seems contradictory,. In the early phase of the war the Austrians were pushed south by the Russians, and the front was on Roman Carholic territory which had been held by Austria. But if I recall the novel right then lieutenant von Trotta died around the same time when the old Emperor Franz Joseph passed away, and by that time the front had moved far into eastern Poland after the big German/Austrian push of 1915. There might have been orthodox churches built on Polish territory for Russians who had moved to the Russian part of Poland. The fighting might be a part of the offensive of the Russian general Brussilov, who had quite great initial success in his offensive in summer 1916. He used a new type of tactics which soon was copied by the German army. Perhaps Polish people could tell more about that.
