Beneath Hill 60 - Sniper Scene

[@cyberbrosstudios7662]

For those asking about the helmet armor, it's known as the "Strinpanzer"/"stirnplatte" and was used mainly by snipers. It, combined with the helmet underneath, could deflect a bullet at 200 meters, and was often used with an "elephant mask" which covered the whole face expect for the right cheek so that the sniper could aim with their rifle more easily

[@aleramone23]

I noticed that extra steel protection straped over the helmet that the sniper uses. pretty clever.

[@roberthunter6127]

+Alejandro Medina I believe that was a helmet used by people in tanks?

[@aleramone23]

+Robert Hunter no, it was designed for snipers on WW1 i googled it. its called Stirnpanzer

[@roberthunter6127]

Right i didnt know that. thanks!

[@PanzerMan332]

+Robert Hunter You might be thinking of shrapnel masks. Instead of bullets, they protect personnel from very small bits of steel flying at your face.

[@roberthunter6127]

Well i went round a museum the other day and were shown a similar helmet to the one in the film, they said it was used by personnel inside tanks or armored vehicles.

The extra armour on the front of the German sniper helmet was a great touch

[@silentghoust]

It's actually based on a real helmet. It was mostly for machine gun crews though. The idea was they were the most exposed when utilizing their guns against a charging enemy, and so offering a bit of extra armor (Including a cuirass in some cases) was to help negate that disadvantage.

[@DavBlc7]

I have a WW1 paradox question. Would peeking over the top actually get you shot immediately? Wouldn't that mean the guys in the other trench are peeking over the top?

[@josephv1805]

trench periscopes, periscope rifles, and machine gun nests designed to protect the gunner allowed a soldier to watch from relative safety. that extra armor the german sniper is wearing is intended for machine gunners along with a steel breastplate so as to protect from ricochets and fragmentation whilst working the machine gun. the plate was not designed to be bulletproof, but could stop everything short of a rifle round

[@bored.in.california2111]

You just have to hide yourself well enough so that the enemy doesnt see you peeking.

The same action in which Wilfred Owen was killed.. Four of his men were the last AIF soldiers to die in action getting the bridge across (although four Australian fighter pilots including two aces were killed on the same day further west.

I can add some interesting documental fact from italian front, which I guess was known also elsewhere. Having italian soldier really soon realized how well were austro-hungarian snipers to head shot observer through the observing spots, they took some precautions. I.e. the "window" was not open, but masked with a black cloth of loose thread, which allow observations but also made complicate to understand, from austrian side, if someone was behind or not. The a-h guys then just ramdomly shot in sometimes and kill people like this anyway. Another method was to put an iron gate on the window, snd pull it up only after you put your face on the spotting hole, so avoid the light coming through back and forth to reveal your presence.

[@McLarenMercedes]

MST3Killa The German commanding officer makes some classic mistakes which are common in the military: 1) He believes that just because he is an experienced high ranking officer and rose through the ranks it automatically means he knows better than those below him. Besides the military is strictly hierarchical and you're supposed to obey your superiors and not question them. 2) He conflates the German capabilities and resources with the allied ones. The *Germans* didn't have that enormous quantity of explosives to pull something like that off so he wrongly assumes the allies don't either - never mind the fact Germany is short on precious minerals, has no dominion or important colonies and above all can't ship anything in because they're under a naval blockade. Above all Germany had trouble financing the war the longer it went on and due to the naval blockade they couldn't barter with what they had anyway. The commanding officer's national pride must have gotten the better of him. Anyways, he is not a complete fool because he correctly analyses that that would require an insane amount of explosives, a crazy ambitious tunneling project and a gargantuan effort you'd have to be half crazy to attempt. In 99 out of 100 cases he'd be right. It's practically impossible. Again he fails to assess the situation from where they are. Wars of stalemate tend to make the enemy attempt the impossible. During this stage of WWI *anything* which could work, even half-crazy ideas, were tried.

[@davidmurray5399]

Hill 60, which just to the southeast of Ypres, was the scene of continual close quarters battle from 1914-1917. The East Surrey's won three Victoria Crosses in a horrific two day fight with elements of two German regiments, that featured literal hand-to-hand combat spiced up by German 77mm guns firing over open sights from across the rail line from the Caterpillar. Private Edward Dwyer, who won one the VCs, is likely the only VC winner ever to be filmed and recorded , speaking about his experience during the First World War.

Observation slits and snipers loopholes were usually covered with a curtain made out of a sandbag. The position was roofed to exclude light, and another curtain hung over the entrance. This reduced the risk of an enemy spotting the observer, unless someone left the outer curtain open, then moved the inner one. Instant bright spot, brought the snipers in like flies.

It pisses me off to watch officers completely disregard the assessments of the soldiers below them. They think because they are a higher rank that if it doesn't come from them it's not true.

[@rlbadger1698]

Ya that's why it seldom happens in real life.

[@ziggyzap1]

It depends on how much of a stuck up asshole the officer is.

[@jackass123455]

which in ww1 when this was set alot of them were big assholes being from the aristocracy they truly saw themselves as better than the average soldier

That "officer" denying that the enemy might be laying explosives does not speak German as a first language.

+Solaxe S I think he meant that it os obvious to natve german spealers, that all german speaking actors here were not native speakers.

[@ericsampson372]

+memoryhero I don't speak German, but now that you mention it, his speech seems slow and deliberate, as if he were more concerned with enunciating each word correctly instead of getting the sentence out (as I would if I were an actor trying to portray a German-speaking character.)

[@xlDeathlxJosey]

Julius Caesar and his siege of Alessia in Gaul changed warfare for 2000 years. He showed how vastly outnumbered force could withhold against numbers with simple trenches and traps and walls. I think there were around 250k gauls attacking his defenses. He had built one wall of defenses around the hillfort and another around himself. That was over 24 miles of trenches and wall and ditches. All bobby trapped with spikes and sharpened sticks. He held off attacks from both sides with just around probably 50k men.

[@stevemoss947]

The sniper shell is different from the machine gun cause they only shoot single shots so they are different. Kinda like BB's from Daisy or Crossman

I see many of you are interested in that STRANGE GERMAN HELMET. Yep, they used it - it was extra armour plate added on common helmet (search some early ww2 German helmets, they still had special components to fix this extra plate 30 years later) Problem was, this didn´t work as planned. YES the extra plate stopped the bullet BUT the impact was so intense it broke your neck (spine)...So they stopped using it after WW1. Potato for long post:)

[@minot.8931]

+ondracekivo They stopped using the Stirnpanzer plate because it weighed too much. WW1 was a static war so the soldiers didn't have to worry about the weight of this thing... but even so, the plate was only really used by snipers. If they left their helmet strap loose, any hit on the plate would dislodge the helmet but leave the soldier's neck in one piece. The German helmet was made of a nickel-alloy steel which was more expensive and difficult to produce .. but at longer ranges it was more bullet-proof than the British "Tommy" Brodie helmet.
