[@themaskedmysadaean8885]

What about all the other Dutch things? Including the Ducks?

[@michaelrider]

Holland is still waiting for replacements of its ships. Thanx for the weed though.

[@jeffcordova9633]

I need to make my way over and try some of the herb over I Europe

[@j.a.weishaupt1748]

“Wheat”, not “weed” 😂

[@philipplausberg1959]

Interesting how in WWI things were completely open until the last year of the war. Anything could have happened, a German victory was definitely still possible in 1918. WWII was decided by 42/43 and things only went one way from then. So in terms of dramatic value, WWI definitely wins!

[@ignacejespers8201]

WW2 was actually decided in 1940 at Dunkerque or 1941/42 if you include Barbarossa and the defence of Moscow

[@bluemountain4181]

It definitely wasn't decided at Dunkirk in 1940. In 1940 neither the Soviet Union or the US had entered the war and their entry was by no means inevitable so it could have played out very differently.

[@ignacejespers8201]

Hitler missed the chance at Dunkirk to force a peace treaty with the UK. As it happened they would save their army in order to form the backbone of a new one. Without it the UK could hold it's territory, but couldn't be able to strike back as there was no-one else to train the recruits and were alone in the war. Plus Stalin saw the Ribbentropp-Molotovpact as a temporary truce between the USSR and the Reich. He was planning to finish the modernization of the Red Army and would probably strike afterwards. Germany couldn't possibly win the war. All Axis forces were lacking some important ressource (Oil, rubber or steel) and were dependant on import from the US or the USSR in order to sustain themselves (Malaya and the Dutch Indies for the case of rubber).

[@bluemountain4181]

Forcing the British army to surrender at Dunkirk would not have had a significant impact on whether Britain accepted a treaty or not since after the fall of France the army played little part in the defence of the UK. The only major task that really needed to be accomplished by the army was the defence of the Suez Canal, and that could have been achieved even with a surrender at Dunkirk. Soviet victory over Germany in the east was never a forgone conclusion, or even probable; they came close to collapse and defeat. The major events which determined the course of the war happened from the raid on Pearl Harbour to the surrender of the 6th army at Stalingrad.

[@ArmandDupin]

The first world war was decided in september 1914, when the Germans failed to knock France out. After that, they were hopeless.

[@TheIfifi]

The next episode, "Kaiserschlact." I've been looking forward to this since I wrote an essay on it two years ago, I was a fan back then and can easily remember telling myself. "Oh my they'll cover this one day." That day is soon. Cheers to you guys, you're great.

[@mryoung0412]

TheIfifi yea I've been looking forward to the channel covering this since i found it 3 years ago. Didn't know too much about it until Battlefield 1 opened my eyes to the scope of it with their Kaiserschlacht Operation, if anyone still hasnt tried that game i highly recommend it!

[@TheIfifi]

I was obviously introduced to it in school, though my passion awoke when I read: "Storm of Steel" by Ernst Jünger, a german stormtrooper who fought from 15-18, he was wounded during the initial opening of the Kaiserschlact and this might very well have saved his life. While he was a nationalist and pro-aristocracy I can't say I agree with a lot of his writings, but it was well written and thoroughly enjoyable. I recommend it to everyone and If I knew enough about him I would certainly send in help so that they could do a special episode on him.

[@podemosurss8316]

6:44 1000 Tons of American weed? The Dutch would be really happy...

[@TheGreatWar]

why only them?

[@commonpepe2270]

they still haven't run out to this day

[@TP-tc7vp]

100000 tons of wheat.

[@martijn9568]

There is a reason that the dutch built the 'afsluitdijk', we saw in ww1 that we couldn't support our selfs on our own. We needed more land for farming, so we decided to claim some extra land from the sea. Much better way of gaining land compared to how the rest of Europe was doing that. Proud dutchman here :)

[@SirAdrian87]

Tyler Tompkins, you can't smoke wheat, silly.

[@soy_tippi]

what amazing footage and photography this channel provides. 5:35 a guy sets up a camera on a surfaced submarine and films a ship (in which you the viewer is probably the size of one of the specs that flashes upon the screen) is in the the progress of sinking to the bottom of the ocean. GAT damn.

[@baron_von_brunk]

The Germans could have won this frickin' war if they had sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads.

[@sulasaurus]

only if they did .....

[@davidmeyer8930]

Also this week, an illness having infected its first recorded victim in Fort Riley, KS last week, was spreading quickly.

[@colinwolf9730]

This is the bag. Russia out of the War, Italy is barely in the war, America still has not mobilized, France is still recovering after the Neville offensive, and the turmoil in the British high command at all time high and is going to have repercussions. So what if the Ottomans are crumbling, Bulgaria will only fight for its state's interest and Austria Hungary... less said the better :) The Central Powers will win, and this war will be over long before Novemeber 11th!! They should have had Conrad plan the Spring offensive... oh wait I think something will come from him soon :)

[@Valdagast]

Nah. This war won't end for another five or ten years. There's just no way of breaking these lines until something entirely new comes along.

[@colinwolf9730]

Just remember in the words of Sir Haig " The machine gun is overrated"

[@nate13012]

Im curious, how did u get the date of 11th November? Are there sources that relate to that number?

[@edwil111]

USA has conscription in place. So they mobilized. Where did that come from?

[@weissraben4476]

Nah. By now, the Italian army has wallslammed any Austrian offensive pretty hard (and this won't change, as June will show), it's reforming under Diaz, and in general is waxing, rather than waning. Of course, if Germany wins on the Western Front it's all going to be moot, but vis-a-vis with the Austro-Hungarians, the window of possible collapse has come and gone.

[@christianhendriksen6241]

Ferdinand Foch, Phillip Petain, Joseph Joffre. The french generals had great names

[@myteon7907]

Don't remember if it was Hindenburg or Ludendof but one of them is attributed the quote "Austria is our secret enemy". The meaning of it really hit home in the last bit of this video

[@stevensamuels4041]

Conrad sayd Germany was the Secret enemy

[@Seabreeze756]

No, Indy, we are just support you - in every sense, financial included. But you - I mean, You and the Team, - are making this show better and better every single day. You evolve just like Warfare of the Great War. Keep it, guys, appreciated. Thanks.

[@awolpeace1781]

Hard to imagine that Germany will lose the war at this point.

[@MarkSultanaX2]

6:40 Poor bloke was the sublect of a fail video. Don't worry, there always austrian bicyclists dude.

Calm before the Kaiserschlacht...

[@thedeadcannotdie]

6:38 and here we see the use of oil against Entente to disrupt British-Dutch shipping agreements

[@ΚυριάκοςΤσαντεκίδης]

If I had to bet at this point in time 100 years ago, I would certainly say that the Central Powers are going to win.

[@jcaliberty8288]

Κυριάκος Τσαντεκίδης nope when the U.S. joined the war with their manpower and industrial might it was over

[@DylanDude]

JCAliberty82 Not until after the Spring Offensive.

[@LordVader1094]

@@jcaliberty8288 Not until they arrived in force, because if Germany could beat France and push England off the mainland, the US' manpower and industry (which was not all that developed at this point) wouldn't matter.

[@LankyAssMofka]

Yeah I don't know this is the do or die moment for the central powers... Imagine if the US and British had to accomplish D-day style landings into controlled territory in WWI

[@justinlabrosse8506]

Love your channel man so glad people never forget about our history and the millions of soldier's and civilians who went threw hell.

[@masteretainturmakan]

At 2:08, it seems that Odessa's name doesn't show up. Hope that gets fixed!

[@TheSpeechlessOne]

Indie: A question for Oit of the Trenches: Was there any poison gas use during the war in either Africa or the Middle East? Love the show Steve Jordan

[@johnc4122]

Could you do a video where you explain the human rights violations and war crimes of the individual nations that fought in the war?

[@Gurrr.201]

Y'all better not spoil who wins the war for me😤

[@DylanDude]

Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire all lose but Bulgaria executes a surprise pincer maneuver and beats the Allies. Bulgaria still controls Europe to this day.

[@ruizantos]

FINALLY I CATCH UP THE SERIES!

[@krato890]

Thank you Paul Finger

[@israeltovar3513]

Well, strictly speaking, the last time an European power had control from the Black to the Baltic sea was the time of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth...

Hi Indy and crew! Can you give some info on the poem "In Flanders Fields" Just wanted to know more about it. Thanks!

[@dmh0667ify]

Right after this vid finished, it rolled into one of the pre-War vids, circa 1914, and, I h8 to say it, Indy, but.......there was this fresh-faced lad of 25 years named Nidell(sp?), whom I did not recognize whatsoever, speaking of this great channel called the Great War or some such that I should watch week-to-week, and all the fascinating specials they (he) would be doing on every aspect of WWI.War ages a man.....

[@icfree8901]

06:40 could you guys make a ww1 bloopers video?

[@Protorit]

Hyped for next week, seems like a turning point.

[@TWHueyGuitar]

Another great episode. I wonder what I'll do with my Thursdays once the series is complete.

[@nuoksu]

I have not heard of Germans landing troops in Turku, not at least between the landings on the Åland Islands and those in Hanko. I've come to understand that the difficult ice conditions prevented the planned landing (and the site was thus changed to Hanko). Perhaps a small raiding party sent over the ice or just a misconception?

[@staidenofanarchy]

6:35 the guy climbing the shit was the first ever on camera derp in history

[@WhitishSine8]

How was Austro-Hungarian situation by now? How did they even manage to continue the war without supplies nor the efficiency of the germans?

[@tommasorucci4088]

Because Austria was not the failed state that people generally think it was (surely this channel doesn't help with that perspective), it surely had gigantic problems, but could still keep its army equipped and well-fed, even if this meant food shortages in the empire. Although they are not talking about it, the Italian front was still active and raging, though not of course to the extent of the western front

[@moonknightish]

I've noticed that a lot of people, mostly americans, constantly downplay the Austro-Hungaric empire, expecially to further their "theory" of:

[@MajinOthinus]

Ikr? Austria was definetly no match for France, Britain or Germany, but it was definetly not a minor power by any stretch of the imagination, much less a failed state. They did suffer from poor officers and planning throughout the war, which makes it seem like they were worse than they actually were. This can for example be seen with the austrian divisions put under direct german command, which performed significantly better than other austrian divisions with the same men/equipment.

[@KKKKKKK777js]

I would say Austria-Hungarys position was similiar to that of the russian empire. At the start a strong front covering significant problems. In 1917 the russian empire imploded twice.By 1918 it looked like Austria-Hungary had to stop the war or face a simular fate.

[@moonknightish]

"Austria was definetly no match for France, Britain or Germany," That depends on a lot of factors, tho. I think that, on a scenario of mountain warfare, Austria would have prevailed against Britain, which didn't have units and officials trained for that.

Hi guys, love the show. I got one question for Out Of The Trenches, hope this one makes it. Can you tell us something more about arms industry and how it developed in size and importance as the war progressed? Were they mostly private or state owned? Can you name us some of the largest arms companies from each of the warring nation? (I'm specially interested in Austria-Hungary, since my country was a former part of it) Keep up with amazing work, and please don't ever change!

You guys should definitely do another “trailer analysis” of Battlefield 1. I saw the original one (which was great), but they’ve released so many more (such as the Russian revolution, etc). Would be interesting to see this come up again!

[@andreborges73]

it's a lot of fun following week by week, however, it's hard for me to connect everything together and understand the war on a bigger scale. It's nicer to see everything in one day like i'm doing XD.

Man, the allies were such hypocrites in WWI. In reference to the Dutch ship stealing thing.

[@grogery1570]

I can't help feeling that this would have been the perfect time for Germany to negotiate peace with the entente. They have just finished with Russia have lots of new territory, can threaten the West with extra battle hardened troops and have the psychological advantage of a big offense coming if negotiations were to fail. I know that last week Indy said that negotiations didn't start because of German demands of Belgium territory for a seaport/access. But even so, making serious concessions seems like a good idea now. Were there other factors at play that stopped a peace deal being worked out now?

See, this is when Germany should have made peace - they had the advantage and their enemies knew it. Had they used this window, before hundreds of thousands of fresh troops were available to their enemies and before they had a unified command, the world would be a much different place today.

[@TheGreatWar]

The Entente had already agreed to not accept any peace terms that wouldn't include certain clauses which Germany didn't agree to

[@doubledouble4g379]

I know it was near-impossible: yet another one of those 'if only' moments that happened a lot during the Great War. Anything to end it a bit sooner...

[@aleksandarnesic2278]

I don't know is this right place to ask question for earlier episodes, but, I will try: In episode about 11 stupid moves early in war you sad said that Princip shot man [Ferdinand] that could help Serbia to achive it's dreams. I think that constatation could give false picture to the viewers. Serbs wanted unification of Serbs and South Slavs from Austro-Hungary with kingdom of Serbia and no way that Ferdinand could agree to that. Ferdinand have idea about that concept of reforms that will introduce trialism and make Slavs have equal rights as Hungarians, but, that was only to prevent seccesionism and nationalism of Slavs. Giving Slavs more rights will lead to political confrontation between Slavs and Hungarians while Habsburgs will, in Divide et Imprera style, control them easily and prevent their independence strugle. example: Habsburgs used similar strategy in 1848. revolutions, giving Slavs more liberties to make Slavs fight Hungarians and after victory those liberties are abolished. So, what I ask is if could you explain to the viewiers that Ferdinand did not wanted to help Serbs [and other Slavs] with that trialist reforms, but, to contain their independence and unification strugle. Love the show, keep up the good work.

[@notaugustus2076]

Aleksandar Nesic would be intredting to see an 1848 like wsr in 1914 tho...

[@yurik4]

Interesting point; I think it depends on a point of view. What some may see as a bribe to appease some nationalistic tendencies to contain nations within the empire, others might see it as a genuine care to what people are saying. And just one more think to consider about FF - his wife was Slavic, the same wife for whom he was willing to go agains the whole imperial court.
