The Armistice (11:00AM / 11th day / 11th month / 1918 )

[@Simplehistory]

The last american killed - Henry Gunther got up, against the orders of Sergeant Ernest Powell, and charged with his bayonet. The German soldiers were aware of the Armistice and that it would take effect in one minute, so tried to wave Gunther away. He was shot in a short burst of automatic fire and killed instantly when he continued to charge. Some say he did it because of his recent demotion, others because he wanted to prove his patriotism because of his German - American background.

Fun fact: When Germany defeated France in World War 2, "Hitler viewed the choice of location (Compiegne) as a supreme moment of revenge for Germany over France. On 21 June 1940, Hitler visited the site to start the negotiations which took place in the very same railway carriage in which the 1918 Armistice was signed (it had just been removed from a museum building and placed on the precise spot where it was located in 1918). Hitler sat in the same chair in which Marshal Ferdinand Foch had sat when he faced the defeated German representatives. After listening to the reading of the preamble, Hitler left the carriage in a calculated gesture of disdain for the French delegates, and negotiations were turned over to Wilhelm Keitel, the Chief of Staff of OKW."

[@Bulrok92]

@@coniston3106 Very unlikely that he joined in 1914. There are records of 16-year-olds who joined the army, but it was not that easy to do so. Legal age in Germany at that time was 21, so you had to have the permission of your father in order to do anything you were not allowed to as a minor. So, our assumed last german soldier who died in the war would have had to lie with his age (which I think would be quite difficult with 14 to convince anyone you are actually 16 oder even older) and fake his father's permission. Although the military administration relied heavily on volunteers in the early days of the war, I can imagine that they were strict with the regulations of the time nonetheless. But fun fact: One of those 16-year-olds who joined the war right from the start was Reinhold Wildenhayn from Dresden. His father gave permission without hesitation. He became part of the 5th Company of the 241st Infantery Regiment of the Reserve. The unit fought in the First Battle of Ypres, but had to retreat soon. Wildenhayn was taken prisoner unharmed in December 1914. He survived the war in french captivity and would live for another 66 years.

@Provocateur Thing is, those people only served their commanders as much as they could. Think of it. The Armenian Genocide was carried out by the Ottoman goverment, not by the soldiers themselves. The air raids were also carried out under the discretion of their commanders. They did not want to kill innocent citizens in any way. The soldiers were all humans who still had emotions. WW2 would not see this however. The soldiers' opinions were never taken seriously. Many leaders of this time were people who were deeply affected by the traumatic events of WW1. No wonder, the German chancellor was so anti-semetic. The war itself had traumatized every soldier who had to serve on the Western Front and Eastern Front. This kind of trauma leads to extreme perceptions of the world (like the false rumours that said the Jews were the reason Germany lost) One thing I will say. The soldiers who died for their country should be praised. Not insulted.

When I saw this video, I cried. I'm not sure why. I just kept thinking about those brave young men who ran across the battlefield but never lived to see the day when an armistice was made. I thought of those soldiers that lived through the war. Seeing their friends die beside them. I guess I'm crying because of those who died. May they rest in peace. Thank you for your service.

[@pointly]

I can only imagine how it must have felt for the soldiers who signed up at the beginning of it all, only to be among the very few who survived long enough to see the Great War finally come to an end. I bet there were cheering and great sorrow. You live to see the day only to realize your friends didn't live long enough to see it. The Poppy Fields never looked so beautiful.

Take a moment to realize that WWI’s effects are still felt a 100 years later

[@_GatoradeMeBitch]

Doesn't that apply for basically anything? Anything big in history that involved millions of people has definitely changed something that we still see. I mean, think about world without christianity, or a world where Germany or Italy never unified, or one where India wasn't british RAJ, or one where portugal never controlled the spice trade or one where spain never got to america first. Everything affects everything, and that's why history is so intresting. If you go down the road of thinking about it, had for instance king of spain never funded columbus, or where orthodoxes and christians never broke apart, our life with russia for example would be so different, but it's so little things that cause those things, therefore so little could have also prevented them and then create a set of new possible outcomes like french empire of entire south america and therefore US never getting its' independence for instance, or India becoming rich independent state hsd portuguese not stolen its spice! I mean, you never know.

He had been recently demoted and was obsessed with wanting to prove himself to rise back up. He went against the orders of his superiors and charged towards the Germans.

In my country the Great War defines us. We entered out of obligation to the British Empire. By war's end, we came back a nation of great courage and daring in the eyes of the world. The Second Battle of Ypres, the Somme Offensive, the Battle of Vimy Ridge, the Battle of Passchendaele, the Battle of Amiens, the Battle of Hill 70 and Lens, the Battle of Cambrai, the Second Battle of Mons, and the Hundred Days. I thank all the brave men who sacrificed everything so I can live free and call myself Canadian. That's something I can never repay. Thank you Arthur Curry for leading us through the hellish perils of that horrible war. Thank you to all those who made it and those who didn't. I say thank you to the Allies and the Triple Alliance for realizing that peace needed to be made. I joined the Royal Canadian Legion in March of this year because I want to do my best to repay the sacrifice those men made. And I shall never forget.
