Also explained how it was so cold in the winter, they'd looked for a farm manure pile to lay their bedrolls, bc it would be warm due to composting. About finding the wine cellar and imbibing. R.I.P.

@TheLAGopher2 жыл бұрын
Yet, in that short time, US troops had much higher average casualty rates then they would have in the second world war. The US suffered over 100,000 deaths from six months of actual combat and that was after Pershing insisted on US units receiving proper training and equipment versus being fed into the meat grinder as replacement divisions under French and British commanders. America would have lost a million guys had they fought for a whole year under allied Generals. Pershing not only insisted US troops be properly trained, he insisted they go into combat under American leadership using American tactics that returned the fighting on the western front to mobile warfare over continuing the trench warfare of the last 4 years.

My great great grandfather was a Tommy in the war he'd always tell stories of the war like how one time one of the divisions took all the troop transports and had to ride bikes to a French village or how he got so drunk on Christmas of 1917 he'd accidentally walked into the German trenches started drinking their beer then shot at his own side.

I like how for most of the video it looks like fun and games, then suddenly near the end it cuts to actual warfare, the once cheerful music slowly fades away.

James George actually most of the "warfare" scenes were staged filmed after the battle or in reserve trenches sines photographers weren't usually allowed on the front lines and that cameras back then were big unstable and took time to set up no way could you have a camera in the front trench or in no mans land everyone around it would be dead so all that it's all fake staged warfare footage "nobody was inured in the filming of this video "

@@jacobmanney5455 It's archive footage from a French documentary called Apocalypse WW1 most of it is real footage some is not but on the video most of it should be genuine as it mostly shows noncombat and artillery support so it should be real. Watch the documentary you will see you can tell when it stage and when it is not

The French have a long history of warfare and actually trained the incoming US soldiers...but yeah wearing a bright blue uniform in a (at the time) modern war was a very stupid choice that should have been dropped a couple of months in to the war. Also I don't envy the soldiers who have to maintain those in muddy wet trenches for weeks on end.

The video at 0:38 to 0:44 shows how unprepared the United States was for a major conflict. Fake rifles (wood) and fake artillery (also wood). Gen Pershing's military was capable of intruding into Mexico in pursuit of bandit/revolutionary Pancho Villa (my ancestor was on that expedition as well as artillery caisson driver in WW I). But a Word War? From April 1917 entry, it took us months to arm and prepare an expeditionary force. The allied leaders were heartbroken that we couldn't fill the gaps in the line until 1918. In the air, we had no American aircraft fit for the job of fighters or bombers. WE ended up using French or British models. But as they say, all's well that end's well.
