Scoped Rifles: The British actually tested a scope on a "rifle" in 1840... it was successful but the British deemed it (like many other things) "Un-Gentleman like". The guy who designed it (Chapman) moved to America and sold it to USA patents.

You should talk about "the dai hong dan incident". Where in 2007, a north Korean cargo ship got hijacked by Somalian pirates. And a US warship came to the rescue after hearing their distress call. Fortunately, the NK sailors took the ship back after killing 2 of the baddies, and capturing 5 more. 3 of the sailors needed medical treatment, where US Navy medical personnel helped them. When the news spread around NK, they made a VERY RARE statement, PRAISING the US navy for answering the distress call for the their sailors. Worth talking about it. I'mma keep posting this comment until I get Simple History's attention! 😅😅 BREAKING NEWS: Simple History got back to me on Instagram DM, and they said they’ll do it!!!!

In the show ancient discoveries there was an episode where they explored the ancient worlds deceptions. One such tactic was in Egypt where one military force was trying to conquer the other but was severely undermanned and didn't stand a chance against the other group. So the leader of the smaller group was able to wrangle all the animals he could such as donkeys cattle horses and tie brush to their tails and made them circle around and make a dust cloud that was enabling them to see what was going on. When the greater military force saw that they fled thinking that there was a bigger army coming to defeat them.

This was an amazing video I was hooked the entire time. Very well put together. Thanks!

First British scopes used in WWI were from Germany. Germany needed rubber (which they couldn't get because of the blockade), and Britain needed scopes. Being friendly, combative, nations the two came to a deal in Switzerland.

During the spy scare in the US Army, Gen. Bradley had also been arrested. He was quizzed on which city was the capital of Illinois. Bradley had correctly answered Springfield, but the questioner thought it was Chicago.

In fact, the Aussie drip rifle was eventually made much more sophisticated than your depiction. When the ANZAC's were transferred to Europe, they made "sentry guns" that had a proper clock-work escapement running the trigger. They have a full sized model of the repeating version of it that the men developed, at the Australian War Memorial Museum, Canberra. . The rifle sat in a shaped container that the soldiers called "The saddle" and when it fired, the recoil rocked the rifle around in the "saddle" which worked the bolt, and chambered another round. The purpose was to make the trench look like it was fully manned, and to attract the fire of fixed guns and the like. The Aussies also dealt with the enemy machine gunning their trench at night time. They set up theodolites looking down periscopes, which enabled them to watch and mark exactly where machine guns were set by looking at night time, and spotting the muzzle flash. This would give them exact bearings for the distance and angle . All the forces did this, and then called in Arty but the germans would simply disappear into their bunkers when the arty started. The aussies used the exact bearings for the distance and angle a different way, they would go carefully along the trench and lay sand-bag embrasures with the correct angle and elevation calculated for each man. Then when the machinegun would start firing, they would wait for the pause when its ammo ran out, and in that instant all along the trench men would leap up, fire one shot down the calculated line, and drop back into the trench. The germans got the message and stopped bothering the Aussies at night. .

Deception has a very long history in warfare. It is very important! Many nations have used it. I particularly admire the British use of it!

"WW1 "unofficial" anti - sniper measures" also included British Army officers disguising themselves as low ranking, rifle carrying, ordinary soldiers or even sappers while serving at the front. This early initiative eventualy morphed into today's "official combats", a complete suite of clothing, protective meaasures, etc. worn by all to help minimize casualties.

35:20 Likely would've worked without all the vehicles. Needed to just have skirmish teams in groups of 5 or up to 12 men. Have jeeps or other trucks try to drive most of the men, to a dismount point and have them infiltrate on foot. The jeeps an trucks after the dismount point could take a team of 5 an go further on to other points. Skirmish teams could operate more effectively an quietly and move quickly from point to point, an if neccessary "Acquire" what they need along the way, an when their mission is deemed over they may try to blend in later on with civilians and retreat back, or act like awols if caught of either military, or crazed..

You can't be AWOL if you have leave. AWOL stands for Absent With Out Leave. Meaning you have left your unit without permission. It sounds like he was granted leave to return home, but chose to remain with his unit after his recovery. If he had been ordered to return home, he may have been in violation of his orders, but he could not be AWOL for two reasons. First, he had leave, and the other, he was not absent. If it were a thing he could be PWL, Present with leave. Depending on policies and regulations a solder may refuse to take leave, but me may also get into trouble. If circumstances dictate, the solder may refuse leave, at least until the current circumstances change. This is what happened in the movie Saving Private Ryan. Captain Miller and his men were ordered to find Private Ryan and return him to a place where he could be sent home. When Miller and his men finally find Ryan, he is part of a unit tasked with holding a certain town against an imminent German attack, because Ryan believes he will be able to make a difference in said attack. At this point Captain Miller could have disagreed and ORDERED Ryan to leave. Or he could agree and Miller and his men would join in the defense of the town.

Perhaps snipers should be banned in war, when in any area that non-aggressors might be wondering about.
