New Wars and Revolutions - Demobilisation I THE GREAT WAR January 1919

[@TheGreatWar]

WE'RE BACK! What did you think about our first new episode with a brand new concept and, of course, a brand new host? We're glad you're on this new journey with us and we hope you enjoyed our first step together in a new direction. If you missed our coverage of the Paris Peace Conference, you will just need to wait a little longer till our next episode. We will be much more diligent about our sources and sourcing from now on. You can usually find sources for certain statements on screen or in the subtitles as well as all sources used for an episode in the video description

[@remenir97]

The Great War its no problem even if it isn’t Indy. I hope you guys will build up great content in the future!

[@larsrons7937]

I think Jesse is a great narrator.

[@larsrons7937]

He definitely does. I'm saying that as new to this channel.

[@ThePageofCups]

While I don't think Jesse is as charismatic as Indy, he has a very professional quality to him in place of it. It might be because Indy's background is as an entertainer when it comes to being in front of the camera, so their presentation is different. I think it's a great fit for the documentary style of the channel, and it also is respectful of Indy by echoing your (Flo's) previous statement of not trying to replace him. Even as a first episode, this definitely already is fulfilling the promise of quality and depth with excellent narration. Great work all around.

[@TheGreatWar]

thanks, glad you liked it and recognize that we went into a different direction.

[@JarodFarrant]

[@HT97775]

Having learnt about the sparticists and freikorps and the general state of Germany from 1919 - 1939 in school I can’t wait for this new chapter from TGW

[@wilhelmrk]

Did you learn about them in Germany? I remember that what we learned did in school did not mention that the Spartakists called for a Revolution.

[@scottklocke891]

Sehr Gute

[@scottklocke891]

wilhelmrk I learned about them in independent reading when in grade school, school just introduced formally what my grandfathers went through.

Definitely one of the most fascinating periods in modern history - the chaos and anarchy following the Armistice. Glad to see you guys will be covering it here!

[@jangelbrich7056]

That was perfect: many details I never heard before in any film documentary. Maps and photos with reference to what is told. Questions being asked. Analyses, explanations and contexts displayed and clear. No dramatizing, no reenacting scenes, no fake sounds, no distracting music, no edutainment, no propaganda. Perfect! Please continue this way!

Your nervousness was palpable, but it did nothing to affect your very well done presentation. Bravo Jesse, looking forward to seeing more episodes!

Excellent video, my favourite part of the video is when you start talking about demobilization. We generally do not hear about that process and its difficulty, especially on the soldier's life.

[@Realkeepa-et9vo]

A host with perfect German pronunciation? What's happening to this Channel?

[@thebog11]

Almost perfect, he got "Ebert" right the first time he said it but mispronounced the first vowel the next few times he said it. Everything else was spot on IMO.

[@daleburrell6273]

...WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT?!

[@todd.howard]

He speaks German

[@purple467]

@Dr. Plagueman he doesn't "fake" any accent. He pronounces German very well. Turn on the subtitles if you want to see the spelling.

[@purple467]

@Dr. Plagueman I speak German and know the language very well. Do you? Obviously not. Pronouncing a language well shows ability and respect for the language. Then again, when did an American ever respect any language... Of course, your analysis and conclusion are BRILLIANT. Have you thought of writing a book on the subject? University language departments would be thrilled to have new and trailblazing information such as yours. Not to mention Berlitz, for example

[@LavrencicUrban]

FANTASTIC! I LOVE THE NEW FORMAT; IT TRANSLATES PERFECTLY INTO THE INTER WAR PERIOD. JESSE HAS DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB; OF COURSE; THE ACCLIMATIZATION PERIOD WILL BE LONGER THAN A SINGLE EPISODE. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE! THANK YOU GUYS!

I first heard of the German Revolution of 1918/1919 by reading the historic comic Berlin: City Of Stones. I haven't poked my head into that book in a long time, but what this video shows compared to what I remember from reading Berlin: City Of Stones is astonishing.

FINALLY! With months of delay I have finally watched this video :-) . I am just not used yet to this 30' format. That is pretty long but the content is so rich that it is worth the effort.

And that’s not an easy thing to believe, because I had my doubts if any host would be able to replace Indy.

That ending quote hit me so hard.

As a trotskist and an history buff, it is refreshing to hear an account of 1919 that, though not from an explicitly marxist perspective, is also not hysterically anti-spartakist, as I find most such accounts to be. Tough line to walk, and in my judgment, you've done so quite nicely. Cheers.
