Thank you for doing such an amazing video, makes happy to see Portugal represented, our condition in WW2 was dire, but I'm glad you recognized at least one of our heroes

I have now. Thank you for good content.

1. Peninsular War wasn't that long ago historically 2. As a new republic, they wanted to reassure the rest of Europe that they were still the same good old Portugal, not some radical nut jobs. 3. Always handy to have the UK on your side (up to c.2000).

Well we had our own interests , the german were ocuppying land in the portuguese african colonies. Portugal asked england to enter the war a couple years before, but england refused because the portuguese army was obsolete and had to be trained and equipped by england first. England reach out to help Portugal yet again because of the alliance, thats true.

People too often forget that the portuguese at the time kind of hated the british, because of the "Pink Map" ultimatum and the damages done in the post-napoleonic overstay of the british. Which was somewhat reciprocated, as the british despised the new republican government, to the point the british were colluding with germans to take over portuguese Africa pre-WW1, and Portugal was later denied founding status in the League of Nations. Like the italians, it was mostly the prospect of war spoils that drew the portuguese in, and an eagerness to be taken seriously by those that had walked all over them. But logistical and tactical incompetence of the portuguese High Command, as well as limited forces directed to France (because of political turmoil back home and the more internally important African Front) forced them to be taken under France and Britain's wing. Things are not all simple mindedly black and white, is what I mean.

Portuguese are Celts too...well they used to be.

Pacta sunt servanda

In portugal mustaches were common, to point of stereotypical

true not gonna lie

Plot armor manifests into different forms. it could be that his plot armor has manifested into his mustache

Ah ah never had a moustache, maybe because i m half basque ah ah

His moustache was deflecting the bullets, that's for sure.

Eu servi numa unidade de infantaria do exército português onde Milhais fez a sua formação ... O dia festivo da unidade e o dia dessa batalha, onde todos os formados são informados da atuação de Milhais e a todos é pedida a sua coragem e abnegação ao serviço da pátria mãe.. Portugal não é de graça. Custou muito sangue dos meus antepassados e a aliança com os aliados do Reino Unido foi muitas vezes decisiva...

“Chamas te milhais mas vsles milhões” was yhe sentence

@@wolfgang6517 That's right, I was just saying in a Brazilian way

THANKS!

That is really cool! Thanks for sharing this.

@@TheJackx666 wouldn’t it be correct to say Portuguese and not Brazilian? Brazilian is a form of Portuguese that people in Portugal don’t speak.

agree, yarbhub id my favorite chabnel

Now they reached that mark

The well thought out composition and direction goes a long way towards bridging the gap between "simple" and more detailed animation. I say "simple" because this is the only channel of this type that I know of that even attempts to render the scenes using 3d graphics, which are anything but simple.

I was long impressed with the camera works especially the dogfight. It was intense and immersive. Better than most action movies

I smell aminating experience

The machineguns not having bipods and just... floating there is quite a large oversight considering the high quality of the rest. I imagine you'd need some serious hand muscles to point a machinegun using only the pistol grip XD

This one was much worse than the others imo

I was wondering how he got stuck there in the first place?

@@crinkly.love-stick he probably got cut off by the German attack

Major not Mayor, hard to believe that some Scot Mayor was looking for his town councillors in Bog between the lines at the battle of Ypres

I find it utterly baffling that NO-ONE here on this comments thread section, knows "who" he is ???? Surely such a high-ranking British soldier WOULD have mentioned his life being saved by a Portuguese ? Not remotely meant as a criticism, more an observation, but.... You weren't exactly tripping over Portuguese soldiers every 5-mins Main "protagonists" on the Western Front, obviously British, FRENCH & GERMANS, right ? I naturally include ALL "Commonwealth" soldiers of ALL nations under or with the British....** **It's too clumsy otherwise, haveing to explain yet another 15 or so nations.... Anyways - there MUST be a battle report somewhere that DOES mention the Scottish major by name ????

It was in part based on the scottish major testimonial that he was awarded the medals.

Thank you! We’re very happy you like the film!

What a very brave man, you must be very proud of him.

let's be honest, he had the manliest mustache one can have

Eles precisam é de aprender a dizer "Milhais" correctamente...

what kind of movies you watching ??? most (decently popular) movies have millions in budget and have so much time to create them, while a single youtube channel has much less time and much much less budget to work with, so making the comparison of a goddamn youtube channel vs movies is pretty dumb

That doesn'T mean the animation is good, it just means the movies are shit.

Thank brother

Thanks for the recommend. I know next to nothing about Portugal in WW1. I must find this film

@@WanderlustZero Long story short. As a newly established Republic,Portugal wanted recognition and the preservation of Independance so we forced our way into ww1 by making the British invoke our alliance. We officially entered the war in 1916 despite engaging german forces in Africa since 1914. 2 Divisions were trained and sent to Flanders and France and proactively participated in several offensives and defenses. At La Lys the overstretched 2nd Portuguese Division was defending a strech of open land meant to be held by 4 full divisions and they were facing some 20 000-50 000 germans. In the ensuing Artillery Barrage and sturmtroops infiltration attacks the Portuguese line broke in several areas and many Portuguese soldiers were killed and captured. All Battalion and regimental HQ'S were stormed and overrun with all officers KIA or taken captives, our field artillery was overrun in hand to hand combat and died to the last man. Around 60%-80% of the Division was lost between killed,captured and wounded but our resistance allowed the Allies to reform the lines. Our pay? Shamed by our British "Allies" and branded cowards for their own failures. They received Portuguese inteligence and officers reports of massive german troop movements but discarded Portuguese reports as dilusional.. After the Battle the British forged reports of units that were stationed in whole other areas of the front stating the Portuguese had fled without firing a shot. British liason officers countered that stating that Portuguese forces fought valiantly against a superior foe outnumbered over 20:1 and did the best they could and that french forces under similar circunstances were hailed as heroes before. They too were silenced by the British Goverment. Portugal finished the war in shambles and abandoned its soldiers in France or german stalags as pows until the early 1920s when Spanish and French authorities pressured the Portuguese Goverment into bringing its pows home. This is the sad story of Portugal's participation in ww1

As far as I know the Portuguese didn't have reserves to replace them. So they had to stay in their trenches all the time, and without any break *. . .*

@@letoubib21 It is true that there were no Portuguese reserves. However, frontlines troops had to be relived from time to time (not much) and in this situation the Portuguese were not in due time. They should have been relieved by British Forces since they were under the direct command of the BEF

@@TSilva96Thanks, I see. I only read that once. These Portuguese troops aren't mostly mentioned at all. Always Rosbifs, Lumberjacks, only sometimes Wallabies, and very seldom Kiwis *. . .*

The British army was incompetent. Read " Butchers and Blunders, British Generals of WWI" sad reading.

@ricgunn1439 propaganda book, the German army weaponry even before the war begun was simply superior by far, so was the army, and their tactics. Read John Mosier "The myth of the great War" instead

I'm Portuguese, my grand grand father fight on ww1... My father in Angola in the same time you fight in Vietnam. I'm ex militar (Kosovo in 99) ... Thanks to you an every one o fight for ther country...

yes, this is normal for the Portuguese, you think they are surprised when they hear that Portugal in the first world war the vast majority of people, they only remember the second world war but in the first, Portugal we Portuguese gave a little help and for that time sent 200 thousand men / soldiers, it wasn't much but for a country like ours it was something 10 thousand men died in the north of France near the border with Belgium the overwhelming majority went to Flanders, we just wanted a little more recognition that's all.

was just thinking that. These days I think the only public mention to that event is small painting at the Navy Museum. And they went into action knowing full well they would lose, but duty and honour demanded they try and save the civilian ship being targeted by U-139

Probably the reason why they're hardly mentioned for fighting in WW1

Typical British military stuff.
