the model photography is awesome. It's so difficult to understand a mountain front (like the Vosges, or Crapathian mountains, or Alps itself) without a 3d model to let you understand why it was so "particular" this front.

Thank you very much for this episode! Actually my great-grandfather fought on the Isonzo front as part of the 41st Honvéd infantry division from Kaposvár. After fighting two years in Galicia they came to the Italian front in early 1917. They were stationed south of Gorizia on the Carso Plateau that you mentioned in several regular episodes. After the Caporetto breakthrough they advanced along the Adria to the Piave River. At some point he took a shrapnel wound that disfigured his leg a life long. My father often mentions how „Jancsi papa“ used to scare the young children in his home village with his disfigured leg when the young spoke about the Great War in a glorifying fashion. In 1957 he died in defence of the family´s carpenter´s workshop in his own home backyard as Red workers guards came to confiscate bourgois property.

Really Ive heard really bad things about the Hungarians on the Isonzo Front that they didnt defend well and were very sloppy with their things because the Austrian Jäger regiments came after them and they wrote that the Front was in the Worst shape theyve ever seen before, and that the Hungarians pretty much gave the Italians land in fear of being fired back at them by Artillery.

A story from my grandfather: He always told me stories about his brothers and father being deployed at the Isonzo front. His father - my grand-grandfather - said that the thing he hated the most was the problem with heat. There were there at miserable conditions with very low temperatures. At the start of the war there were many soldiers, who were unable to fight after their first weeks. Since not all officers knew that rapidly heating up your hands, when being extremely cold, round fire; can cause severe injuries and even total hand disfunction. So officers were first hated for forbidding hotter heat sources as fire, yet the angry soldiers soon realized why this was so. My grandfather even told me about a story when his father was of a frontal defense again the Italians and he couldnt feel his gun. He said that during all the fighting that day he didnt feel the trigger at all, even had a cold-burnmark on his finger from they years of fighting. As a kid was always wondering what that funny scar on him finger is. When my grandfather told I was actually a little shocked.

My wife and I did indeed visit the Museum the second week of this past October, for the cento anniversario of the 12th Battle of the Isonzo, aka, Caporetto. I very much do recommend a visit to the Museum. If possible, start in Cividalli and drive over the mountain on SS45 into the commune of Drachia, then down the mountain into Tolmin, Slovenia. From there, drive to Kobarid and back to Italy on SS102. You will get a first hand look at the terrain that these soldiers had to survive in, and while your at it, enjoy the beautiful Julian Alps . BTW, English is spoken by most Slovenians. Another trip to see is the monument at Goricia. Also, spend a few days in Ljbljana. It is a lovely city. The Great War series is the best thing on You Tube. Thanks for the work, Ron

I just discovered this channel last week & have been binge watching ever since. Great stuff! I'm a 4th year history student (with a stream focusing military history). I really enjoy this era & it's a shame my university never offered a course which solely focussed on WW1, it was often lumped together with ww2 & seen as a prelude to "the age of dictators." So I'm glad this channel fills in the gaps and answers the questions I was curious about, you do it in an entertaining way too!

Zahvala Jaki, da je tako lepo predstavil celotno dogajanje med vojno na Soški fronti. The above was a thank you to Jaka, for his great presentation of the Soča front (pronounced ˈsoːtʃa) (or as english speakers like to call it - Isonzo front). Sadly, only few people ever hear anything more than a brief mention of what was happening in this part of Europe during the war, which is quite idiotic. We slovenes have to learn about all other fronts and battles + the Soča front in school.

@Indiana neidell I distinctly remember that we mentioned it in school. Many of us kids were surprised to hear that america isn't realy america since always, but that there was at least one seperate state on the continent at one point after the american revolution (children logic, we totaly blanked out Canada and Mexico :) ). We still had to learn next to everything about the latter and the american civil war. Not only that, we also had to learn about the colonisation of america and the westward expansion. Not realy date by date, but we still lingered for two or three periods on the matter, before going forward. Maybe the curricula have changed now a little. I know that my parents, who grew up in communist times, just skimmed the subject, so they knew events and some important people, but not much of the details.

I'm Italian and I've been in Caporetto (Kobarid) and in that museum; which is really well made, complete and interesting also because there's and entiere section which shows how many times that places changed domination first between the Serenissima Repubblica di Venezia and Austro-Hungarian Empire, than to Italy after WW1 and under American control immediately after WW2 and finally to Tito's Jugoslavia (we all know what he did to the Italian who lived in Istria and Dalmatia from the time of Roman Empire and than of the Republic of Venice). Near Kobarid you can also find and Italian military cemetery, and many sign of the old frontline like trenches.

With "we" I didn't mean "we Italian" but "we european", still there was no order to kill anyone by Mussolini's regime; anyway Italy itself condemned fascist policies. If in Friuli there is an Slovenian minority is because from immediately after WW2 our costitution justly defends minorities like the French one in Val d'Aosta, the Ausrian in Alto Adige and the Slovenian too; meanwhile in Istria and Dalmatia there are still only few Italian because of precise policies of Tito's dictatorship.

@Markxyz @sjoormen1 @C. C. A. Look, atrocities were made. We can go back to prehistoric times in our elaborations and no one will be happy with anything that happened. Borders change, populations change. Italians wanted to exterminate the slavic peoples that lived there. The slavs wanted the italic peoples dead. And yes, DON'T FORGET it. EVER. Don't forget what happened and be greatful that we don't have to live in those bullshit times and be greatful that we have no reason and no wish to fight among ourselves. Let the dead be dead. No amount of argueing and retribution will change that. The only thing that can come out of it is even more shed blood. And tell me - WHO. WANTS. THAT? May our united Europe live long and in peace. It was built on many dead and a lot of war.

We visited Kobarid Museum and the surrounding places some years ago. Since Hungary lost thousands of soldiers there we had to see what happened to them on the Isonzo front. The museum is very fair with regard to politics, it does not stand on any fighting party's side. In my childhood there were jokes about people wearing bandages on head: Have you been wounded on the Isonzo front or in Doberdo?

They attacked after the secert London "The Treaty of London was a secret agreement signed by Italy, Great Britain, France, and Russia on 26 April 1915, bringing Italy into the First World War on the Entente side. It therefore had a crucial impact on the conflict. Its content, however, included territorial promises to Italy that would reveal serious inter-allied differences at the peace conference." by wikipedia! So after they they broke alliance with AO and attacked AO monarchy! And " Čudež pri Kobaridu" , or " Miracle at Kobarid" in Dolina Soče are historical names for that places.

@@VztrajniVolk i know, i am italian myself but this is not the point. Those battles become famous after the war won by Italy and the names of the battles were given by the ones who won. We are not talking about a place and who belongs to, we are talking about the names of two battles

Hi indy and crew me and my dad share a huge interest in ww2 and after I discovered your channel and the amazing videos we make. We got an even bigger interest for ww1 now because we also love fairly close *southern tip of the Netherlands on the border of belgium* and we're planning to "visit" Ypres and the somme. Do you have any recommendations? We're not really into museums were more into the personal day to day life and the story behind the average soldier. Do you guys have any stories you want to share with us or any recommendations on places to visit? I absolutely love your channel, and it's sad to see that this is he last year.

If you want to really come close to comprehending the dispair and hardship the soldiers felt, try marching from Feltre city center to the nearest fighting positions around Monte Grappain the mountains. Do it in March or early April. Carry 80 pounds on your back and don't eat for a day. when you take off your ruck and look out ar the Austrian positions across the valley you will begin to understand the loneliness and dispair. Think about what you would write in a letter if you weren't going back to town and had to stay there and rot in filth for six months. Then imagine a shell coming in covering you with some dudes blood and body parts and not being able to wash them off. Feel the wind.

Hey indy and gang I love your videos, top notch work you guys are doing. But I have a question for the great war crew or fans. In WW1 the tanks were made which pretty much revolutionized the art of "making enemy go dead" My question is, were there any absurd weapons or things that were too much for the great war ? (Like how during WW2 some wanted to make an aircarrier made of ice or how the Nazis tried to do their weird things)

Great show. I've been a fan since 1915 I believe. Recently I watched one of the first episodes of the show and I realised that there are versions available in other languages, including polish. However, in the linked polish channel, there appears to be only one, short video, a kind of a trailer. What happened to the polish version? Was it never produced? Deleted? Not that I actually need it to understand better, just out of curiosity.
