[@diamondknifer4441]

Hey Indy and crew this is a question for "out of the trenches" what happen to the trenches after the war ended? I couldn't find any books about it at my local library and I'm afraid looking it up online will give me the wrong answer. Keep up the great work from Michael. PS I don't have an account for Twitter so is this okay.

[@hurdygurdyman5136]

The Great War "in the name of the tsar "has an assault class with a dark brown kinda chocolate colored Adrian helmet with a golden Romanov double headed eagle stamped on it(you can also see it on your video picture) did they have those and if so do they have any photos of it?

[@genericpersonx333]

At first, not much at all. Until most of the belligerents signed actual peace treaties, which didn't happen for many months and sometimes years after the armistices of 1918-19 were penned, they kept the trenches in case peace negotiations broke down and war resumed. Most soldiers on both sides didn't return home until long after November 1918. After the treaties actually ended war and everyone demobilized, the vast majority of trenches were slowly filled-in to allow the resumption of productive enterprise by the landowners. Most trench lines are now growing crops as they did before the war. However, many stretches of trench line, especially in France, remain because there are too many unexploded shells or toxins from poison gas to justify the cost of redevelopment. Some trenches are also just not in places where people cared to use the land anyway, so their trenches slowly rot away from natural causes alone. Many choice areas were intentionally retained as memorials to the war, cemeteries especially, and their trenches either restored, maintained, or allowed to be reclaimed by nature. The channel has some videos on these locations.

[@hero4714]

most trenches on the western front was filled in, those witch didn't were simply abandoned.

The rifle at 4:10 is the bolt-action Mosin-Nagant M1891, the standard infantry rifle of the Russian Empire and subsequently the Soviet Union from 1891 - 1948, with several variations through the years.

[@nathan655555]

Samuel Considine yes but this version is actually a finnish one so it is unreallistic because finland didn't even exist yet.

[@eliezercohen750]

actually the mosin was only till 1945 when it was replaced by the sks

[@SamuelConsidine]

@@eliezercohen750 not quite, the Mosin was still produced in the Soviet Union until 1948, both M44 and 91/30 variants and was still in service in some ways well into the 1960s in Russia. I can prove that for a fact because I have owned several examples manufactured by the Izhevsk factory in 1948, the final year of production. Other Eastern European states also manufactured the Mosin as late at the mid 50s.

[@SamuelConsidine]

@@nathan655555 no, that isn't a Finnish version, it's a standard Russian M91, which was also commonly used and adopted by the Finns because they had so many in surplus.

[@KirillShamsutdinov]

I hate to be nitpicky, but I think I must point out a sad mistake - the name of the poet was Anna Akhmatova. Andreyevna was her patronymic name. Patronymics in Russian are used either with the first name or as a familiar nickname (e.g. Lenin is usually referred to as Ilyich), but never with the surname only. In other words, her full name is A.A. Akhmatova, you can call her Anna Akhmatova or Anna Andreyevna (Akhmatova) if you mean to show some respect, but not the way you have put it. Still, you have done a great job, thanks a lot!

[@PeterIsotalo]

Definitely not nitpicky. This was a bit sloppy. :-/

[@uninterruptedrhythm4104]

Peter Isotalo who cares

[@mayrbek123]

Kirill Shamsutdinov If her last name contains the name Akhmet. does that mean she is of Caucasian or Tatar origin? it doesn't sound russian to md

[@KirillShamsutdinov]

She was born Gorenko, Akhmatova was her nome de plume. She took it in honour of her Tatar grandmother, of whom she knew little, by the way: Anna even claimed her grandmother was a descendant of Akhmat-khan. Which was unlikely. They say she had to made up a pen name because her father, Adrey Gorenko, had asked young Anna not to bring disgrace upon their family name with poetry.

[@50mits]

[@ShaDOWDoG667]

@4:06 The rifle shown on screen is not the General Liu rifle it is the M1891 Three Line Rifle known colloquially as a Mosin-Nagant.

[@kristiantrayanov9948]

Epitoma Rei Militaris isn't the Mosin Nagant from WWII or am I mistaken

[@undiscloseddaysofmissingvi3710]

Kristian Trayanov it was designed in 1891, and was used in both world wars. In the first world war as the 1891 model and in the second world war as the 1891/30 (a new model)

[@KSmithwick1989]

Epitoma Rei Militaris "Three Line Rifle" is the Russian colloquial term, it refers to the old imperial measurement system (1 line=1/10 inch). Mosin-Nagant M1891 is the proper name and "Mosin" is the colloquial trade-name, at least in Texas. I haven't heard any dealers use the term "Three Line Rifle", one even got confused when I mentioned it. The "Three Line Rifle" term was dropped shortly after the small-bore rifle commission cleared the rifle for production. The Russian weapon designation system follows the Weapon Type, Designer, and Model Designation. Regarding Mosin-Nagant as colloquial is basically the equivalent of calling the K (Kalashnikov) in AK-47/AKM as colloquial. The weapon's designer's last name is actually part of the weapon's official designation.

[@ShaDOWDoG667]

Kevin Smithwick Head of the commission, General Chagin, ordered subsequent tests held under the commission's supervision, after which the bolt-action of Mosin's design was ordered to production under the name of 3-line rifle M1891(трёхлинейная винтовка образца 1891 года). This is the same as the M1 Garand being designated as the "U.S. Rifle, Caliber .30, M1" and not the M1 Garand, everyone calls it such but it still isn't the correct designation of the rifle.

[@KSmithwick1989]

It's actually a little different, because of the shift to the designation Vintovka Mosina (Rifle Mosin) M1891. The Russian designation system was under a process of change. The old Imperial system of measurements was being phased out, think along the line of British artillery pre- and post WW2. Pre-war British artillery was measured by standard shell weight (ex: 25 pdr, 6 pdr, 17 pdr), post-war the system was designated by bore diameter. Referring the U.S. designation system is a straw man argument, because the Russian system uses the designer surname as part of the official designation. Changes to the Russian indexing system, meant the 3-line designation was dropped. The wiki article you got your reference from is full of flaws and misconceptions. In fact as a collector of that pattern of rifle, I was recently discussing the rifle's history to a friend of mine that is interested in becoming a collector. I opened the wiki article for reference purposes, then notice that someone did the bad edit that currently up. The reference section is worthwhile, although there is some questionable edits. Such as ".... invented by Colonel Rogovtzev, by Lt.-General Chagin's Commission, Captain Mosin and small-arms manufacturer Nagant, therefore it is only fair to call it Russian 3-line rifle M1891.[citation needed]". No professional publication would accept subjective statements such as "therefore it is only fair to call it Russian 3-line rifle M1891". Is pretty apparent someone that didn't fully understand the subject was making edits. Recognize that some of these people don't even make an effort to properly transliterate the designations from Cyrillic. Which is telling that these people are copying and paste material that they are often incapable of reading.

[@BraceletGrolf]

Great video ! I was told about those "trench sweepers" in middle school, the teacher said that these soldiers were used to destroy any remaining resistance in the trenches or straight up commit warcrimes by killing wounded soldiers that were left in the trench after attacks or that were trying to surrender.I was also told that they recruited maniacs, criminals and mad persons for the job. I don't know if it's true.

[@zuhailishufller8046]

Romain So "Trench Raider" are the representation of trench sweeper. nice touch on historical detail.

[@Roudou77970]

As far as I know, there was two kinds of trench special troops in french army. The "trench cleaners", as Romain noticed were there to "clean" the trenches after/during an assault. And the "trench raiders", who were there to make prisonners mostly at night. They were not the same soldiers.

[@zuhailishufller8046]

Roudou77970 oh I see. Does the Trench Raider wear the same gears as Trench Sweeper?

[@Roudou77970]

zuhaili shufller TBH I don't know. Probably some variations, as raiders needed more discretion but also firepower if things turned bad.

And, guys-guys-guys, Akhmatova (nee: Gorenko) actually had a first name ;) It is - Anna. (Andreevna is, actually, her "father's name" - the "daughter of Andrey"). By the way, at the time she was married to another famous Russian poet - Nickolai Gumilyev, himself a WWI hero with His Majesty's Own Uhlans, and recipient of 2 Soldier's Crosses of St. George (Russian Empire) - 4th and 3rd Class - decoration, of which Akhmatova herself was rather sarcastic at the time...

[@OscarHazeGaming]

The poet's name is Anna (Andreevna) Akhmatova, where "Andreevna" is the middle name. In Russian, a middle name is given after the name of a person's father, in this case - Andrey. It's most commonly used as a formal and polite thing (i.e. a child would call their teacher Anna Andreevna, same is for business meetings or for people who don't know each other very well). Just a little correction there.

The name painted on its side is "The Curronian" like someone from the western region of Latvia, Kurzeme/Curronia. The aftermath conflicts of WW1 are quite interesting. You see the already very much improvised solutions especially common on the Eastern Front taken to a whole new level. In the Latvian War Museum you can see things like a signal rocket gun made from a stick and some wire. That thing wouldn't look out of place in a Mad-Max-style post-apocalypse.

[@spikethebeardeddragon3734]

My favorite aftermath conflict of WW1 is WW2.

[@TheGreatWar]

+Robert The Wise in our humble opinion it's a pretty big stretch to claim that WW1 ended in 1918

[@andrewfavot763]

Still love coming to watch all of these, great job team!

I PLAY THIS GAME A LOT.... and love these kinda video's! keep it up and my big fat support

[@jacobduhthrowbak3226]

I never knew you guys did the codex for Dice, that's so cool, I love those! This is such a fun game, the only one I've ever seen set in the great war in a realistic sort of way.

[@marcus4048]

Who else thinks he should play the battlefield 1 campaign? It would be really interesting

Great video as always.

[@eduardoendaracorrea196]

Watching the original video is how I found you guys....... Awesome videos

[@thescaredshadow]

Fun Fact, 2 of the Tsar maps are going to take place during the Russian Revolution of 1917. It's going to pit the Red Army against the White Guard.

[@jonarnar1383]

I hate that Dice has russia and france as dlc

[@theflyingpig6361]

The Red Pillow ikr USA should be a dlc

[@darthandrew19905]

The Red Pillow Upside is that they have six maps devoted to each of them.

[@larry-three8225]

At least they get a lot of content. Minus the prologue map, the U.S. faction can only be played on two maps... In the entire game. I want a United States DLC.

[@SAMAKUS]

Larry-three Lol the US played a much smaller role than Russia and France though

[@chaowingchinghongfingshong3109]

Larry-three 15 Euro for 5 Maps and a faction? What a scam...

[@gibson4ever28]

The Great War oh yeah,I remember that episode/special when you/your team invited a gun expert and he talked about the various pistols,long guns( I'm not a native speaker, I don't know what they're called in English) and stuff like that, I enjoyed that episode a lot

[@kevincass9917]

Rifles, they're called.

[@ritvarsblumfelds5363]

That armored truck in 2:39, has ''kurzemnieks" writen on it which is in latvian. It is a word for men who are coming from Latvian region Kurzeme (Kurland). This truck was a war trophy taken after Latvian freedom battles in 1919. And the pucture is taken short before USSR ocuppation of Latvia in 1940. Because it still was in latvian army arsenal then.

[@firimar6407]

Great work.

Amazing video

[@FirstnameLastname-py3bc]

I thought "oh, Baldrick really existed", then the poem came :DDDDD

[@pkingpumpkin]

Firstname Lastname baldrick is from the TV comedy 'black adder' in which it's last series was ww1 based

[@FirstnameLastname-py3bc]

we know that

[@FirstnameLastname-py3bc]

I was just listening to the video in the background and didn't see the photo.

[@florianbecker6655]

that the vehicle was too fast is the balance of the game because it would be too lame to never arrive in the battle

[@GAMNGgeek]

Rev BladeZ its a modern fps, they're always fast paced nowadays. Battlefield surprisingly is still one of the slower paced AAA modern fps

[@noecampos460]

I have been seeing this show since last year and is incredible, please when this is all over continue with world war 2.

[@camille2881]

Just one small correction at 11:11, it is not written in French "They Shall not Pass" but instead "They didn't Pass" ... I think its quite interesting, knowing the propaganda and its conclusion here on a monument that indeed worked. The Germans didn't pass.

I love these, BF1 never really hooked me, but I do appreciate their attention to details and the little nods to propaganda posters as you detailed here, very cool! Amazing how much effort must have gone into those scenes while a lot of people will miss those hidden details :)
