[@AvoidTheCadaver]

The most insane thing about Verdun, Somme and Passchendaele was that the one of the main objectives was to literally grind German manpower down. French and British forces numbered roughly the same as the German army but the British could count on the arrival of commonwealth forces from their Dominion territories, so there was a near constant stream of soldiers arriving the reinforce the allies but for the Germans they only had the unreliable Austro-Hungarian and ottoman forces which weren't even in the same theater. Somme and Verdun were literal meat grinders

[@crazytomato4845]

Exactly, that's why WW1 was so horrible, the allied powers said, we think you'll run out of bullets before we run out of men, the Germans thought pretty similarly too

[@louis-henriguidor4153]

Partially true comment, because in 1914, the German Empire was twice more populated than France or UK. That's the reason why the German have handled war on two fronts (west & russian east front). And could still launch massive offensives in 1918, after Bolchevik revolution.

[@robscarrow5108]

Don't forget, one of the First Battle of the Somme's main aims was to relieve pressure on the French at Verdun. The single most deadly day in British military history, to relieve pressure elsewhere. I understand the French wer almost at the point of mutiny, which was at least prevented... until 1917.

For the first time in history during this battle the French introduced a mecanized supply line with thousands of trucks. Along the 72 km of the "Voie Sacrée" (Sacred Way), transport vehicles were on the move day and night ferrying troops, armaments, and supplies to the Verdun battlefield. During the initial crisis of 21 February to 22 March, 600 trucks per day had already delivered 48,000 tons of ammunition, 6,400 tons of other material and 263,000 men to the battlefield. Beginning on February 21, all horse drawn traffic and troop movements on foot had been ordered off the road leaving it open for truck and motor car traffic only. After March 1916, one truck passed every 14 seconds, submitting the road to considerable wear and tear. Quarries had to be opened nearby to supply the road with crushed stone. Over the course of ten months, 16 labour battalions worked to keep the road in good shape and order. A special unit responsible for controlling traffic and servicing the vehicles numbered 300 officers and 8,500 men. The rolling stock was made up of 3500 Berliet and Renault trucks plus 800 ambulances, the latter often being Ford Model T's. Thirty breakdown trucks remained on the road at all times with repair crews stationed besides them. Any disabled vehicle was immediately moved to the roadside so as not to interrupt the flow of traffic.

[@user-zk1tb1yx2e]

Incredible! Thanks for the history

It had mediocre armor and the shittiest gun, basically steel targets even for the likes of PZ IIs. The Germans were tank wise completely superior. They could out-maneuver and take initiative because all their tanks had radios, they did not put their money on ineffective one-man-turrets and they did not design their tanks to go only 17mph max on the road, they did not equip their tanks with low pressure guns straight out of ww1, they had superior suspensions...

@@andresvalverde5182 Read the topic before you go into this. Here is a key point in the first post of this thread "For those who would mock the major defensive line that France built after this war". So yea not WW1 but WW2. I specified for tank on tank engagement and specifically said armor and fire power not mobility or reliability. It was not the equipment that let them down but the complete change of tactics the Germans used. Where as the common tactics of the Allies was to spread the tanks out to support the infantry and fight a slow grind. The PZ II had 40mm of penetration at 100m. The R35 had 40mm of armor so no not something that was used as target practice by the German tanks. The R-35 could penetrate the PZ II at 500m. So in terms of firepower and armor the R-35 was better and that was one of the lightest tanks in the French army. The anti tank weapon the Germans used in the Blitz was the Stuka not the PZII.

That is some of the best stop motion I've ever seen. More than just stop motion, you had the right FOV, camera shake and other elements that gave it a strong feel. I like that your stop motion technique was more incremental than others and had more motion throughout. Jason and the Argonauts, Sinbad and Clash of the Titans have been the benchmark for a long time for me, but this rocks!

It’s also very accurate, as the machine gun he is using is known as the chauchat. It was notorious for being having a slow firing rate, high recoil and frequent jams, all of which were depicted in the video.

[@thomasecker9405]

​@brandonzhou2233 True, but the massive jamming was due to how dirty the magazine got in the trenches. Soldiers running on the field with it reported that they had no problems with the Chauchat jamming. Sadly, the American Chauchat was even worse due to the way the magazine was structured.
