"This is a steam powered mecha, equipped with coal fired lasers for fighting godzilla, in case he invaded britain, which carried a very serious risk come 1919." *Indy looks quizzical but forces himself to stay composed*

David Willy and his knowledge and enthusiasm are great advertisements for the Tank Museum. This was quite interesting!

They made the one in Last Crusade out of a bulldozer and sheet metal; it's a pretty incredible achievement. It still survives and can be seen in the Universal Backlot Tour if I remember right. Shame they named it "Mark VII" in the movie, causing confusion about the International's designation and relegating the real life Mark VII, which is a very interesting vehicle in its own right, to complete obscurity.

This was a great episode. I really enjoy David Willy's intelligent and informative narrative.

Haig had learned most of his lessons by 1918, I'll say that much for him.

The way David just chills in there it's like sitting on the back steps of school smoking a joint back in the day. Just relaxed and cool.

Love the tank guy. I have to say, a great tank you .... for which you showed during the video.

Fantastic episode - always fun to hear from David Willey!

Wonderful channel, excellent museum and the enthusiasm is contagious. Keep it coming chap's

Dave is perfect to tank museum.Nice and calm presence and charm.

I love how the tank clips have the audio from the tanks in COD:UO 😂

What a amazing episode. Very well done

I can’t imagine being in a ww1 tank that saw combat and 100 years ago your just chilling in it. Absolutely wonderful.

Great video 👍 love the tank museum!

This is the best video on tanks. I was unaware of the wide variety of the British tanks. It really wrapped up my understanding. Thanks!

Love the Tank Museum. They have some great videos. I hope to visit there some time in the next few years. Mr. Willey and Mr. Fletcher are excelent.

Go watch The Chieftain's Hatch, he did a series of videos on French tanks a while back. His videos are very informative as well and you get a tanker's perspective on these tanks as well and not just a historian's view. I've learned quite a bit watching his videos because there's a lot of things that you can only learn from someone who is actually a tanker. Plus he has an incredible dry sense of humor that adds to the enjoyment of his videow.

Great episode as usual full of tidbits about tanks like the drinking water carriers 15:15 and a funny guessing at 13:13. Cheers !

Surprised me just how quickly the technology and tactics evolved near the end of the war

Great video guys

Fantastic episode....

INDY- I truly hope you go on to eventually do an entire series on WW2- it would be magnificent, and the tank museum has MANY examples for further specials as well!!!

I really need to see this museum!

Great episode once again ! Would really like to hear the same with french tactics !

It's really interesting to see the shift in mentality. At the start of the war, the phrase "It will be over by Christmas" was all too common. At this point, they're planning for the next year in spite of many significant victories.

Great stuff!! Love to see a special about the Ford M1918 tank. Not many know about the ww1 sherman...

Man that was awesome.

Excellent!

Could you please talk more about the French tanks, i know that being American makes its easier to study the British, but the French deserves more attention than your channel gives them. I understand that you might be reading mostly english and german sources about the war, but please consider doing specials about french tanks and tactics. I also think you could talk more about the french civilian population, the mood in the country and the importance of international socialism in the trenches. I love your show. Sincerly a concerned citizen.

I love this show

6:34 Whippet tank and New Zealand infantry at Mailly-Maillet, 26 March 1918, the day this tank was first used in battle.

Awesome episode! Is there something similar about the French tactics of the offensives late in the war? Given that most of their tanks were lighter and smaller than British (and hence, I presume, not meant to cross German tranches) it must have been different.

I have a question for Indi and the team. I know germany used submarines during ww1 but did anyone other than Germany use submarines during the first world war.

@wuugaa6776

5 жыл бұрын

Almost all navies had at least a few submarines, but most simply didn't really have a reason to use them as exessively. A British submarine was the first to sink another submarine, and the Australian AE2 was famously the first hostile vessel to cross the Dardanelles in over 500 years

Amazing how the technology seems almost medieval compared to only 20-25 years later.

In Canada we don’t talk about how well the British did at Amiens, it was Canadians and Australians, at Arras again Canadians, and the Canadians who re-entered Mons on the final day of the war. My grandfather was in the Canadian infantry (7th Battalion, 2nd Brigade, tip of the spear) three great uncle’s in the British Army, and one who was a Canadian tanker, training for the 1919 campaign. He never saw combat, got the Spanish flu instead.

Out of the trenches question that flyes through my mind after that great episode... What was the biggest casualty caused by an tank offensive in the great(est) war... not really thinking it will make it to on, like to thank you for amazing coverage of the war and a great channel... from Iceland thanks for the lot Rùnar

Hey Indy and gang. Y'all are awesome and I love your videos. I have a question for oott. What kinds of battles happened that aren't as well known? Like we're there smaller battles that played a pivotal role in deciding the fate or course of the war? And also are there any horror stories soldiers would tell after the war?

At 8:16, is that an Entlebucher walking up the ditch?

It's really important to understand that technology and strategy/tactics don't always come about at the same time. Sometimes the strategists would like "piece of tech X", but the engineers simply can't fulfill that demand. Other times "piece of tech X" is available, but the strategists don't know what to do with it (yet). The result is often either a complete waste of material and lives or a very, very conservative attitude, resulting in the new tech hardly being used at all. The initial use of the tank was basically just "go forward guns blazing". Now that first encounter did take the Germans by surprise, but they quickly adapted and learned that the tank wasn't invincible. Crews were worn out, they broke down, the armor was quite weak in certain places, they were slow, etc. The British learned that the tank alone was actually quite vulnerable and couldn't operate without infantry and support. They also learned that the tank itself didn't have the punch to smash through enemy lines in one go (yet).

Indy has a world war 2 channel people so we're going there in 63 days

Engine exhaust in the cabin, four people to drive it, less HP than many sedans. So very different from what we think of as tanks today.

Indy, has anyone ever told you that you look like Gil Chesterton from Frasier?

Hi Indy And the Great War team I have a question for OOTT. Did armies place any restrictions on facial hair during the Great War? Did the armed forces of warring nations promote or insist that some soldiers grow moustaches and beards? We’re there any regimental exceptions? For example I heard that some Bavarian and Highland regiments required that soldiers grow beards. Did rules change over the course of the war? Did attitudes towards Facial hair vary across different branches of the military e.g. Navy or army? I hope this question makes it and thanks a lot for the great work you’ve put in!!

at 11:50 i se Indy Neidell and riight above his head on the screen on the wall i se.... an Indy Neidell imposter?!?! ;O
