There's a book called "Bloody Red Tabs" that gives the details of all British senior officers killed or wounded in WW1. It's quite the tome. What you also have to remember is that right up until at least the first world war, quite a lot of those Generals (especially the British) had seen hand to hand combat in colonial wars as junior officers - and many WW2 generals had been frontline combat officers in WW1.

Many German soldiers were also drafted, such as my great grandfather in WW2. We should all respect the men and women that put their life and sanity on the line to fight for their country. That’s why I admire the American tradition of honoring your servicemen and women and your veterans as heroes, which they are. Here in Germany people have no respect for our soldiers and even talk bad about them for our involvement in Mali and co, which is still for a good cause. To the point of Hitler getting voted, that is absolutely true. The people that voted him were also super desperate, because the Great Depression and the Versailles treaty were really hard for the German people.

@@gidi3250 Damn.... That is brutal.. A lot of the unrest in modern day Africa is due to European meddling in the area in the first place.. Such a beautiful continent yet a few greedy individuals ruin it for the sake of their own greed. And that part about going from concentration camps to 'friendly' lines in one of the most brutal battles of history is just... I simply don't have words for that. May God bless their souls. Canadians fought voluntarily and with enthusiasm. These people had no choice yet still fought like lions. I am going to have to do some proper research on this subject now as it is a very important piece of world history.. I have always had a fascination with the continent of Africa, yet it has so much history that it is impossible to learn all of it. You just fed me an excellent bit to study up on. Thank you for your contribution here.

@@_M_a_r_t_i_n_M some Boers didn't like fighting for the British the people who had conquerd us in war and let 27 thousand women and children starve in the camps and some 30 thousand native allies of the Boers, and they where mostly if German descent so they rebelled, it's was the reason why South African soldiers didn't sent troops abroad in the first month or 2. An old general went to the military academy where a lot of new recruits where gathered for their final ceremony and gave a speech and the young men joined him to actively try and join the Germans hell they even got a German colonial officer to come from a German colony to inspect our boys, however the main reason it failed was because of the general in charge wasn't the original pick for it the original one was accidentally shot dead by police when his driver didn't stop at a police checkpoint set up to try and catch a few bank robbers the stand in for the original pick didn't have the knowledge and experience to lead such a large army and after a few talks gave up and handed over the soldiers under him only one guy was hanged and it was some random guy who had joined them after running away from the place he was working as a guard. This rebellion was the reason we didn't consript our boys for the ww2. Most of the Boers where of German/Dutch decent with the otherside being britsh and the smallest group being French so they feared another rebellion and only sent volunteers

Pulls no punches with its verisimilitude in showing the futility of war. The poetic narration, music & visual depiction of hell that must have been Passchendaele.

Max respect to ALL of the young men, no matter which side they were on. There was no ‘Right Side’ in WWI. The British only cared about ensuring there was no competition for their empire and sacrificed their child nations to achieve their goals (often throwing Canadians into the worst of the front or tossing ANZAC soldiers into irresponsible, near certain death at Gallipoli) The Germans thought they were defending a friend. There was no right or wrong.

The only thing wrong with this is the tiresome depiction of the Germans as combat incapable. Very typical of Anglo-American narrations of the world wars. In fact at Passchendaele they inflicted more casualties on the British Empire than they received. Everything else is grimly realistic, underpinned by Sabaton's haunting indictment of the futility of war.
