for me, the Christmas Truce was the saddest thing. It showed morality was still there. They were normal people that could have been friends, but were forced to become enemies. For the soldiers, the worst day was the day when they bought good food, because it meant that they would be going up the next day. My family survived both of the world wars

The fact that they lived like that for 4 years is just insane. No wonder they got shellchock, or what we now call PTSD. The constant artillery bombardments, poisonous gas, machine gun fire, hand to hand combat with whatever you could find or use, living in mud, fecies, urine, dead bodies, diseases, rodents eating your enemy and your own troops, things like that does make most people go insane and lose their minds, and they couldn't go back, lest they were tried and executed for treason or desertion. No wonder they chose to go on, go forward no matter what. They didn't want to end up in prison or get executed for treason and desertion. They also didn't want to die because of the enemy killing them. The fact that you don't want either of those two options, just give you one thing to chose. You had to carry on, no matter what. It's sad that it came to nothing in the end. World war two came some 20 years later, so the question was to them if it was worth it in the end. They couldn't predict WW2 of course, but still

Up til WW1 battles lasted anywhere from an hour to, at the very longest, a couple days, with a very few exceptions. In WW1 the shelling alone would go on for 2-3 days, and then the actual fighting would begin. The combat from beginning to end could be weeks. That's why the PTSD was so common and severe. In all of human history nobody had seen anything like it. Industrialized warfare was here.

Fairly good video. However, one of the biggest issues old soldiers use to talk about (since most are dead now) is the mud and the necrotic effect it has on skin after days sitting in it. Their skin would literally slough off due to sitting in the mud so long. While many survived this, it was probably the biggest thing the survivors remember. Sitting in 6 inch deep mud for days to the point their skin just comes off. Get it isn't as horrific as dying from a mortar or grenade, but the survivors (since not dying) saw that as the most horrific thing they experienced.

My Grandfather was shot in the back 3 times and fell into a fox hole during WW2, it took days for anyone to find him, he survived the ordeal and laid along side other dead soldiers that shielded him from incoming artillery. He was shipped to a hospital somewhere in Europe and my mom and her family didn't know if he was alive or dead for almost 7 weeks, he was listed as missing. He suffered from horrible PTSD and alcoholism afterwards and kept a jar on his dresser in his bedroom he showed me once, filled with tiny pieces of metal and shrapnel that would work their to the surface and out through his back over the years. He passed away in the early 80's and I've missed him very much ever since, he was a beautiful human being.

I honestly think ww1 is the worst war humanity has committed. The clash of the old and new. From telling soldiers to walk across open ground only to be torn in half by a machineguns, even the trench’s them self where horrible from dieses’s and the ground that can swallow you hole. all fought by boys as young as 15, all lied to about the glory and adventure of war. And when they came home all broken physically or mentally.

Another thing you can do for barbed wire, is if your lucky. There will be a dead body near by. So you can try your best to put it on the barbed wire.

To prevent foot infections or foot smell, use the antimicrobial shoe insole called PodoPhylus. It slowly releases iodine gas that keeps the foot aseptic and absorbs water. It also works very well for diabetic foot and leg ulcers…

You gotta put the Bangalore on top of the wire, it's a cutting charge so the ground stops the energy from dissipating, if you put it under it usually just blows it up in the air. Or you make a brazer charge.

As the drum roll started on that day Heard a hundred miles away A million shells were fired And the green fields turned to grey The bombardment lasted all day long Yet the forts were standing strong Heavily defended Now the trap's been sprung and the battle has begun Descend into darkness 303 days below the sun Fields of Verdun, and the battle has begun Nowhere to run, father and son Fall one by one under the gun Thy will be done (thy will be done), and the judgement has begun Nowhere to run, father and son Fall one by one, fields of Verdun Though a million shells have scarred the land No one has the upper hand From the ground above to trenches Where the soldiers make their stand As the trenches slowly turn to mud And then quickly start to flood Death awaits in every corner As they die in the mud, fill the trenches with blood Descend into darkness 303 days below the sun Fields of Verdun, and the battle has begun Nowhere to run, father and son Fall one by one under the gun Thy will be done (thy will be done), and the judgement has begun Nowhere to run, father and son Fall one by one, fields of Verdun Fields of execution turned to wasteland from the grass Thou shalt go no further it was said, "They shall not pass!" The spirit of resistance and the madness of the war So go ahead, face the lead, join the dead Though you die where you lie, never asking why Descend into darkness 303 days below the sun Fields of Verdun, and the battle has begun Nowhere to run, father and son Fall one by one under the gun Thy will be done (thy will be done), and the judgement has begun Nowhere to run, father and son Fall one by one, fields of Verdun

Soldiers are the instrument of political policy. You don't necessarily hate the person you are fighting, but you might love the people you're protecting. Spent ten years in the Australian Army, but I never had to face this. All of these soldiers from both sides have my respect.
