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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

That reminds me: no special episode on Italian uniforms yet.

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.

It went on for a few months but we never got enough traction that was worth the time investment of our single Polish colleague who was producing it.

Looking for finance to do an ambitious WW2 project, involving lots of other YOUTube historical channels. Very exciting.

Jaka Fili sounds like some Turkish food, or a Weird Al song or something.
