This video is more entertainment than information. Both sides made more or less the same technological progress during the war, so what really swung it at the end was likely the entrance into the war of America with its vast ressources of factories and men. Germany was actually pretty close to winning at a point, and finally the allieds never actually pushed into Germany itself, which led to a feeling among many germans, that they did not lose the war, and that the peace treaty was unfair. In some ways you can even say, that WWII was a completion of the unfinished business from WWI.

'It's weirdly intimidating...' said the man with weirdly intimidating hair.

0:36 looked into the mirror this morning, thought: "that looks totally not stupid!"

I think armor started before the war in the Boer War although it was largely accidental. They used tractors to move artillery and other things, but they also put armored plates on them and in a war gaming booklet I saw a picture of British soldiers riding a tractor into battle shooting at the Boers. With that in mind there really isn't that far of a stretch for someone to come up with fitting weapons like machineguns - easily mounted on a tractor - and riding them into battle. Incidentally H.G. Wells wrote a book called "Land Ironclads" once and this influenced the idea of the modern tank.

So we're just going to ignore the development of the submachine gun and walking fire that it enabled?

@VT-mw2zb

7 жыл бұрын

Yes, because the first massed produced, widely distributed to troops submachine gun in World War 2 was the MP18, which entered service in the German Army in, well, 1918. Definitely not the British. But in the grand scheme of things, the submachine gun was not as important as a combined arms breach of tanks, artillery, air force and infantry working in coordination. Seriously, if the enemy can already pick you off at 500-600m with rifles and static machinegun fire, you having a submachine gun with shorter range walking across no-man's land is not going to help. Not only that, the "walking Fire" concept was envisioned not with submachine gun, but light portable machine guns. The BAR, a full-sized caliber automatic rifle was designed to fulfill that role. The predecessor of the BAR in US service was the French Chauchat light machine gun, a horribly unreliable weapon.

@VioIetShift

7 жыл бұрын

The Chauchat is unfairly maligned tbh. The .30-06 version that the Americans bought was terrible, however the French 8mm Lebel version was a reliable and dependable light machine gun. Watch Forgotten Weapons' video on the weapon. The caliber conversion was just hastily and poorly done.

@VT-mw2zb

7 жыл бұрын

Violet_Shift Yeah I agree. The 8mm version was probably fine. What I really meant was in the context of US service. The Chauchat was really revolutionary for WWI. If you are really interested in "forgotten weapons" of WWI, then there's the Pedersen device. It's a device that convert the standard bolt-action M1903 Springfield rifle into a semi-automatic, magazine-fed (40-45 rounds cap.) rifle, firing a pistol round (.30-18 Auto or 7.65×20mm Longue) in about 15 seconds. The intention were after crossing no-man's land, the troops can convert their rifles into a semi that's suited for close range. Fewer than 100 devices were ever made; many of it destroyed after the war. It's a really revolutionary device: 2 different guns for 1 rifle: an M1 Carbine and a Springfield in one rifle. Then the end of WWII comes and a decision was made to adopt a semi-auto rifle (the Garand). The original intention was to usea new medium-sized cartridge, the .276 Pedersen. However, due to the surplus of .30-06, the Garand was chambered with the .30-06 (probably too powerful for its role, and the closer range nature of WWII). Interestingly, the .276 Garand is quite close to the attempts at replacing the current 5.56 or 7.62 NATO (6.5 Grendel, 6.8 SPC)

Even though tanks were crucial, it was also important how they were used. It wasn't until some time later, that they were used to protect columns of advancing troops. Before they were just used by themselves with little to no effect. The one general who can be called the father of modern warfare, is the Australian General John Monash, who applied a combined arms approach to warfare on the western front. It was him who used tanks to pulls loads of supply lines and to also protect advancing infantryman. It was also him who used airplanes to conduct supply drops to troops etc. Just have a read about him on Wikipedia --> John Monash

You said in 1918 they worked out how to get over the trench. but the first tank use was in 1916 during battlle of the somme/related battles. What am i missing here?

Technician Greneway I think what was invented in 1918 was the idea of Combined Arms - as in, using all the different bits of your armed forces at the same time in ways that work together. It's cool to design a plane or a tank. The real challenge is knowing how to use all your inventions most effectively so they make an impact in battle.

Because they ARE propagandas.

Although the Antante "won" that war, they have lost many million lives, too, because of the (guess what) advanced German military equipments. Britain had nothing, France had even less usable weapons to fire with. But during the war, they slowly advanced in technology and a brilliant idea, the tanks, and the fortunet death of all the good German aces earned them success. Luckiness and one good idea earnes the winning of the war: how strange, isn't it? So, again: not a single good sentence leaves the British, French, American, etc. mouthes about the Central Powers in any of these "documentary" creations

They did have radio. However they were usually limited in range, so were mostly used by spotter aircraft to relay real time info on the enemy. The wired communications were far more reliable for long distance. It was possible to use radio for longer distances, but this took a large radio set....think 1912 and the Titanic. Before hitting the iceberg, they were sending telegrams to land based receiving stations, and while sinking, they were able to call for help.

Not really. The German spring offensives depended on a massive disparity of numbers and a huge weight of artillery. On the 21st March 1918, the Germans attacked with 74 divisions against 14 British divisions, following a 5 hour bombardment in which 3,500,000 shells were fired. That's 190 shells a second. for. five. hours. All the German "stormtrooper tactics" did was get their best men killed for some strategically worthless and indefensible ground. They were unable to make any headway at all when they tried to attack strongly defended, strategically significant areas like Arras and Amiens.

Rushed into production so it had issues with breaking down?

wow

I wounder what would happen if you would drop one of these sheels

Fun fact the Lewis gun was replaced by the Hotchkiss machine gun very quickly because when the Lewis gun was fired it sucked the air out of the tank and poised the crew 👍🏼

Whoever drove the piece of history deserves to be smacked. Let's drive this nearly 100 year old tank that has a reputation of breaking down then.

My friends grandad survived the som and only 12survived but he died unfortunately

Misleading. Tanks had some effect, they did some damage to the wire, but were 90% psychological - with friend and foe. Crossing the no mans land and the wire wasn't the big issue. Defeating enemy arty (counter battery), defeating counter attacks and getting support to the forward troops positions were the big issues. Goods carrying tanks were an important part of that equation. It was better planning setting achievable objectives with achievable timings, it was better selection of objective, better reconnaissance by leadership, better rehearsals, it was better security achieving tactical surprise, it was improved arty tactics but it was primarily better integration of all arms in a coordinated and organised assault. All brought to fruition by practical front line officers and not by the upper class 'born to rule' Haig, Hunter-weston, Haking, and some many other upper class duds, General and staff officers.
