Lego WW1 - The Gallipoli Campaign - stop motion

In the latter months of 1914, with the trenches of World War One bringing the war in Europe to a standstill, the Allies needed an alternative way to defeat Germany and the Central Powers.
The Allies decided that capturing Constantinople and defeating the Ottoman Empire, one of the Central Powers, was Their best course of action to gain the upper hand in the war.
They assumed the Ottomans would not offer much resistance, since the empire was in decline and their military was not as technologically advanced as the European armies.
Anyone who wanted to reach Constantinople via the Mediterranean Sea would have to pass through the Dardanelles Strait, which is adjacent to the Gallipoli Peninsula, and this was where the Allies planned to begin their attack.
The Gallipoli Campaign began in the early months of 1915, with the Allies launching a naval attack against the Ottoman fortifications along the Gallipoli Peninsula, however, Ottoman artillery and naval mines were able to sink many of the ships before they could do any significant damage to the coastal defenses.
The Allies now knew that if they were to defeat the Ottomans it would have to be on land, and so in April 1915, the Gallipoli landings commenced.
In the early morning, thousands of Allied soldiers, which included many men from Australia and New Zealand, climbed into small wooden rowboats and were sent ashore at various points along the peninsula.
Ottoman resistance in many areas was fierce and many of the soldiers were killed before they reached the shore, despite this, by the end of the day, all of the beaches where the Allies landed had been captured.
The initial success did not last however, as Ottoman reinforcements arrived and secured the hills above the coast, halting any significant advance by the Allies.
Fighting would continue in the following months, with neither side being able to achieve a decisive victory, until December, with their soldiers not much closer to Constantinople than when they first landed ashore, the Allies made the decision to cease their attacks at Gallipoli and evacuate the peninsula.
In the end, close to 60,000 Allied soldiers and an estimated 60,000-90,000 Ottomans soldiers lost their lives in the Gallipoli Campaign.

Thank you once more for such an amazing animation, JD Cliffs of Gallipoli by Sabaton: Hear them whisper Voices from the other side Hear them calling Former foes now friends are resting side by side They will never Leave our hearts or fade away Live forever They were far too young to die in such a way How many wasted lives How many dreams did fade away Broken promises they won't be coming home Oh mothers wipe your tears Your sons will rest a million years Found their peace at last As foe turned to friend and forgive And they knew they'd die Gallipoli Left their letters in the sand Such waste of life, Gallipoli Dreams of freedom turned to dust Hell is waiting where the ocean meets the sand Cliffs of burden Where the soldiers rushed into a certain death At the shoreline Blood of heroes stains the land light a candle One for each of them who fought and died in vain There is no enemy There is no victory Only boys who lost their lives in the sand Young men were sacrificed Their names are carved in stone and kept alive And forever we will honour the memory of them And they knew they would die Gallipoli Left their letters in the sand Such waste of life, Gallipoli Dreams of freedom turned to dust How many wasted lives How many dreams did fade away Broken promises They won't be coming home Oh mothers wipe your tears Your sons will rest a million years Found their peace at last As foe turned to friend and forgive And they knew they would die Gallipoli Left their letters in the sand Such waste of life, Gallipoli Dreams of freedom turned to dust

I would say D Day would still be worse no disrespect to the Anzacs but the landings at Anzac cove were met by scattered Turkish centuries because they weren’t expecting them to land a little bit more to the right so the Anzacs weren’t met by machine guns on the beach and well entrenched troops and fortifications but what made the Anzac cove landings deadly was the terrain and the fight in the hills and gully’s and lack of communication. Company’s of men would be lost and the Turks with better knowledge of the area were able to out position them and shoot at them from above and concentrate there efforts on one group at a time making sure that the Anzacs were not able to group up and over power them.
