Gaming with some History gives me a good fuzzy feeling i've missed.

gets a cod infinite warfare commercial before the video starts lmfao

Some other interesting facts; - On October 14, 1918 at Ypres Salient in Belgium, a young corporal was hit and temporarily blinded with by a British gas attack. This was a young Adolf Hitler. - It was actually the French who first used gas warfare in August 1914 to little effect. The Germans matched ante, came back a year later and fired 18,000 artillery shells containing liquid xylyl bromide tear gas on the Russians. - The Pickelhaube's spike designated line infantry for instant recognition by field commanders. Artillery units wore a pickelhaube with a ball on top. - Trenches were layered three rows deep. The first, obviously, was for the front line. Behind that was for support and field HQs, and the third was for reserve troops. - Some engagements had artillery barrages that would give WW2 battles a run for their money. At Verdun, Germany alone fired four million shells in a span of ten days.

I highly recommend you guys read "Nothing New On The Western Front ", the book describes the life of a soldier in WW1, leaving out no brutality or details. Perfect for getting into BF1.

Little fact that wasnt mention in the video, regarding mustard gas, in the small percentage of cases where exposure was fatal, death was slow, and agonizing to a degree where it would take days, or even weeks, before the patients passed

BF1 seems to use multiple weapons and uniform designs that appeared throughout the entirety of WW1.

I'm going to get so good at dogfighting in this game, the Red Baron is gonna have to quit and find a new job. Maybe something with pizza.

Best analyze of bf1 trailer yet

We wouldn't be suprise if wonder woman shows up

Learning about the WW1 gives me the creeps

I like to imagine that BF1 is like a what happened in the war didn't end when it did and maybe a couple more years of war lead to such widespread semi auto and full auto infantry weapons

I like how all of the sudden people are interested in WW1 just because this game is coming out are are really exited, while before seeing how awesome it is might have called the war boring and stale. But that's none'ma business.

you just got yourself a new subscriber keep up the great work man

You wouldn't call it a Morningstar, it would be called a ''Flail''

5:40 the sentry bullets made a p sign

I can't believe the ad for this was battlefield 1.😂

Great video!

Nice, you gave some good information about the game. You really know your history.

I think this channel deserves a lot more attention and credit.

Awesome vid!

just subscribed nice video mate

Awesome video!

The woman on the horse isn't TE Lawrence.

Thank you so much for this video, this is the most interresting facts about battlefield 1.

That was pretty good! Nice job, mate

that picture of the spring club gave me chills I got hit with a springbaton got 5 stitches in the back of my head. 1 for each hit

As soon as I saw those helmets with the spikey end to them, I immediately thought about General Ludendorff 0.0

Thanks. I definitely learned a couple new bits of info. "History" is all about the details.

That was so much more entertaining than history class. Thanks!!

The spike on top of the Pickelhaube actually had a protective value. It was meant to deflect saber cuts.

Amazing how a game can bring so much more interest to a historical event and still be a good game.

there were some one man german flame throwers such as the Wechselapparat

I love history and video games, legit I'm so happy

Very informative

1:53 german soldier is maybe from end of war batlle enginer, from hes back he have one of frst submashingun maybe Sturmpistole M 18

the Lewis machine gun also were attached to planes having a cooling tube and had radiodiator plates

Nice one for that info

I want more Videos like this !

Best BF1 trailer analysis

A channel called The Great War did a review on all of the historical factsfrom the trailer, some like the armor were basically just for the game.

No, the Stahlhelm is actually besed on medieval Sallet and the Pickelhaube spike do help against cavalry.

Gamer you bring very good facts to the table and you definitely informed more people about WW1 but I just wish to knit pick a bit if you do not mind, The Stahlhelm did not take basin from the pikelhaubes, in fact it looked more closely to the head piece on Gothic armor. You can also see the British do this with there Brodie helmet where infact it is highly based off of there medievial crossbow men helmet. Infact the Adrian seems like the only helmet that had its own original model. The man carrying the MG in his full plate isn't even remotely meant to be based off of the Strosstruppen/Storm truppen as they never even had face guards. Although the battle field 1 devs did make mess up where in all of its art for some reason he is wearing the German sniper mask but when you're actually in the game he's wearing the Farina helmet with some sort of face plate, you can tell his armor is based off of Italian armor with some added arm and shouldrr protrction which looks scrapped from medievsl italian armor and NOT the Storm truppen lobster armor. He is also wielding an MG08 which is a German machine gun but is possible on some standards. Would have made more sense to give him a Barreta modele a Fiat revelli or on an even more far fetch then the MG08 a chauchat or hotchkiss

Got a new sub

@ 1.07 the biplane is a Bristol fighter. two seater that was first used as a bomber, but later proved to be a very good fighter. The Brisfit had a v12 engine ... pretty neat considering the rest of the world was still cruising around in horse & buggies.

Read Erwin Rommel's "Infantry Attacks" good stuff

I love how this game is teaching us about a war no one cared about or knew anything about. I have genuinely been interested in ww1 science I've been playing. Who says games can't educate you.

i can't really hear you what did you say on 1:19

Very interesting !!

Was the red barons name rictofin?

Did anyone saw the Templar symbol on the shot with the red plane in the canyon?

Actually the gas in the part with the forest might have been chlorine gas because of its more greenish looking color, mustard gas is typically more yellow.

4:53 I remembered the armor was part of the Italian army in the game

would different helmets give different bonuses?

5:02 That picture on the right looks like Unkar Plutt

The m16, m17 and m18 stahlhelm where not based of the pickelhaube. The pickelhaube was from leather and later on steel but the design is no where near based on it.

thx for video but you forget one thing 06:22 in this video you can see a pilot he is looks like a Turkish pilot name is Vechi Hürkuş. I said it because he got interesting life story

Daaamnn 2 seater aircrafts?I cant waiit!!!

@4:59 Is that an Italian Arditi troop? I think it is because he is carrying only grenades (and maybe knives), as the Arditi did to suite their guerrilla tactics. They predominantly used a special type of grenade called a 'Thevenot' which weren't powerful at all, but very very loud so to instill fear. These grenades look like a standard Stielhandgranate used by Germans and in some cases Austro-Hungarians so I actually don't think he's an Arditi

¿Puedes poner subtitulos a tus vídeos? Son muy buenos, pero todavía no entiendo mucho el ingles.

The pointie thing on the helmet is against swords from cavalary

I remember reading a letter from a ww1 soldier, talking about how he was in the trenches, and that one time they shouted mustard gas, you only had a few seconds to put your gas mask on, and he recalls seeing one soldier who didn't put his gas mask on time, and so he was suffocating. What a sight to see, the horrifying deaths and the sense of desperation for wanting to aid a dying soldier. I'm excited for this game, can't wait to see what they have to offer.

So...i hope that means you can customize your club!

That helmet with the spike looks useful tho. If you run out of ammo ,you can just charge at the enemy head first, stabbing them with the spike.

The Model 1917 Flammenwerfer that is in the trailer could be operated by a single man, so thats a bit off with flamethrowers having the be crew served. The erlier designs did, but the on featured in the trailer did not.

Flamethrowers were also used originally to set ablaze oily allied tanks.

wow....this was really interesting!

I am still yet to see anyone talking about the steel sniper face mask showed in the trailer .-.

2:40 he said Richthofen...I knew zombies wasn't over.

That star helm looks like the top head of my shaft!

The Story about Bleck Bess is also real you can read a very good story about "her"

I hope it's not going to be like star wars were we can choose only one gun and cards and choose a character I hope it's going to be like battlefield 4 and 3 were u can choose anything and spawn on ur squad

Dam u I'm learning on summer break but this is interesting

I don't hate America, but it's rare to play a game where America isn't featured nowadays. Hopefully they use British, German and French actors to voice the characters and not be stereotypical in the voices like in games like call of duty 3.

Im suprised you didnt talk about the shell shock scene

What about that cannon at 4:05 all the way to the right side?

I missed some talking about the Zeppelins. There was declared Total War, so they used them for bombing raids on London, scaring the hell out of the citizens. They were big eerie vessels that would float around the sky, dropping bombs upon bombs from an almost unreachable altitude. They seemed like the incarnation of horror and evil because they were nearly impossible to shoot down, since bullets just flew through them. It seemed hopeless. The Brits came up with a technique to shoot them down, which was to use alternating rounds in the airplane machine guns (explosive and incendiary rounds), which in theory should tear through the balloon, mix the hydrogen gas with oxygen, and the incendiary bullets should then ignite the gas. It didn't work as hoped... It wasn't until one pilot, with his last magazine, improvised and used concentrated fire on the back of a Zeppelin, it miraculously caught fire and this enormous vessel, two times the size of a jumbo jet, fell burning towards the ground.

Wow I learned something my history teachers never taught me before. I like it!!!

Can't wait for a British trench campaign.

I wish they would have added the inhuman traps and torture devices they used during the war

May i request a full history lesson behind infinite warfare trailer too? Thx

time for history class ~

i wander if dice will put an Easter egg with a tribute to all the soldiers that died i ww1 something like the fallen hero with poppy around it that would be good

Thats interesting that the fuel lasted for only two minutes because the side by side flamethrower tanks you see allied forces using in WWII only had enough propellant to last for an 11 second stream

It be cool if they had nations but different factions Like in the U.S. Forces the U.S. Army and U.S. Marines and the Harlem Hellfighters The British Army (The British Expeditionary Force), The British Indian Army (The Rajputs), The Canadian Corps ( The Candian 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th Divisions" The Russians (Кавказскaя армия "The Russian Caucasus Army" which mainly fought in the Caucasus and Persian Campaign) The Ottomans ( nizamiye "the Rugular Army" and it's Calvery Units " Hamidiye") The Germanic Empire (Deutsches Heer) The Austrian-Hungarian Army (kaiserlich und königlich or Better known as the K.U.K "Common Army" The Bulgarians (Aegean Divisions fighting with Lawrence of Arabia and they're Calvary Units)

so the club's where maken out of everything you could find... strange we only got 2 clubs in the game

2.41 richtofen 😂😂. Like if you understand

Hopefully they have the German Anti Tank gun, and the Sturmtruppen as well. The E3 multiplayer has machine guns?

that younger dudes face at 2:17 lol

the damn flamethrower...

0:53 that's not a morning star... that's a flail!

The gas was actually chlorine or phosgene gas (green cross) Mustard gas was heavier than air so it settled to the ground

This game need air superiority....

Best Movie or Documentary to learn about WW1?

The spike on top of the German helmet was meant for deflecting a sword to the head by making the sword hit one side or the other, which caused the sword to slide off the helmet, if the spike wasn't on the helmet than the soldier was vulnerable to getting a sword stuck on top of the skull, the reason people would hit a soldier on top of head with sword is because it was trench warfare, so whoever was invading the trench was coming from above, and they would strike them on top of the head for an instant kill, but the spike on top of the helmet deflected that.

Thank you for re-educating us about ww1, I learned a lot, as well as those that watched this video. Trust me when i say it is obvious not many people are truly educated when it comes to ww1's history and gruesome reality. It was not a pretty time and setting.

If the spiked head is lose or on a chain... its a flail

Good vid , but the spike on the german helmet had a reason to be there . Because of the spike , a sword would simply slide of the helmet .

Correction; If the color is that vibrant yellow/brown, it's chlorine gas. If it were mustard gas, it'd either be colorless or an extremely faint green. Mustard gas was also named as such because it smells like mustard.

imagine Ricotofen at 2:40 was named Edwardo Richtofen than Ricotofwn in WAW-BO3 was a real person

when he said homework something was triggered in my mind to listen carefully and suffer quietly
