"Verdun! On ne passe pas" - French WW1 Military Song

Man, the song sounds oddly haunting. It feels like the ghosts of the fallen soldiers still stand firm to defend the line

[@pestylenz7344]

and this is exactly what you feel when you stand in a trench.

[@guiermot-4672]

Even more than 100 years after, whole parts of Verdun surroundings are to this very day and for many, many years to come still so packed with unexploaded shells that it is too dangerous to use the land. There you can see shells and other WW1 stuff imbedded in trees and you simply need to head down to find metal fragments from shells. The unimaginable violence that takes places there are still very palpable.

[@Lechatbleu-dd1wp]

Mikitko Owl they died because of some issues a specific Empire had an issue. Essentially, this is what went down... The Austro-Hungarian Empire was upset that Franz Ferdinand was murdered by the Black Hand Member Gavrillo Princip. This was a terrorist attack that Serbia had no control over! They had no idea it was going to happen. But as a punishment they wanted Serbia to pay for the Death of their prince and his family. Yet since they (Austria-Hungary) had taken their territory and money (as one of the bigger imperialist powers in Europe), Serbia said they couldn’t! So then the Empire said fine then I will threaten you with war allied with Germany, and then Serbia said “Hey Russia! Was need your help!”. Watching all of this was France who had jusst fought the Franco-Prussian war, trying to build up their economy and then saw this and began to rebuild their military up. Germany signed an alliance with Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire which was called the Triple Alliance. Then France, Russia, and the UK decided that is might be a good idea to be allies just incase the Axis powers attacked anyone of them (the Triple Entente) Once Germany attacked Russia...poop hit the fan and WW 1 began!

[@Benjamin-085]

If I recall, the French Lost the most men in the war. Not only this, but I do agree when it comes to the embarrassment in World War II. The Only Reason why France surrendered were two reasons, Tactics and their Government. Besides that, the Soldiers were well armed and they fought valiantly even when we capitulated. Maybe one day arrogant people will realize that us French, did not completely surrender and instead we fought in the Shadows as Partisans and in Africa. Vive la France, Vive la Résistance.

The Battle of Verdun is arguably the worst single point of conflict in human history. It lasted from 21 February to 18 December 1916, the longest battle of the Great War. It is thought that 65 million shells were fired, many of them gas shells. A significant portion of these rounds never burst, and litter the fields to this day. Farmers in Verdun conduct an annual "Iron Harvest," where thousands of shells are disinterred by their plows. Some 42,000 acres of the field, the Red Zone, is off-limits to all human entrance due to high amounts of UXO and levels of arsenic, used in the shells' detonators, in excess of one thousand times the norm. Verdun was so hellish that a century later, the fields are still scarred by its impact. Never again.

The guide told us that these northern regions of France where WWI battlefield are the only ones in France to have permanent professional bomb disposal teams. Their motto "You only make one mistake". And they work every day, even now. Years before that, I camped in a wood in a property where an artillery battle happened. Near the entrance of the property, there was a hangar with piles of disarmed unexploded shells. The EOD team came around once a month to disarm the unexploded shells that they'd find on this property and add them to the pile until they could be disposed off. And wherever you'd walk in these woods, a hundred years later, you'd still find little pieces of metal. Hundred years old shrapnells. It's kind of sobering.

When people make fun of France for surrendering, or any country’s military shortcomings, it’s a blatant disrespect to the soldiers fighting for the country in what was basically hell on earth, giving their lives to protect their homeland and losing their friends in the process. Many people died in these wars, and just because their government made a decision that you felt was wrong doesn’t immediately make the soldiers cowards. In fact, if you dig deep, you will find that some of these were justified. Vietnam for example, the US soldiers were bravely fighting and even winning, but only withdrew because of pressure from the people. France in WW2 surrendered because they lost their entire army at Dunkirk, and if they had continued fighting, it would have resulted in much more unnecessary bloodshed. Respect the militaries of nations who bravely fought to defend your freedoms. Don’t discredit their sacrifice because of one action.

[@aguywhodreams]

Let's not forget that the French soldiers during WW2 waited for the order of a General and not the order of the cowards to surrender !

I have no doubt that the Maginot line held well, considering it WAS the heaviest defended line at the time. But you're a liar. The French soldiers in the Maginot line surrendered to the Germans after news of the German Army had entered Paris had arrived. There was no plan to blow themselves up, or the Line. The held, they lost. Stop making up myths about history to make your country seem better then it actually was.

There have been 53 major conflicts in Europe. France will have been belligerent in 49 of them, and the United Kingdom in 43. Of the 185 battles that France has fought over the last 800 years, its armies will have won 132, and lost 43, leaving only 10 indecisive battles. Thus giving the French military the record of victories in Europe and therefore in the world. France is the nation that has participated in the greatest number of wars and battles throughout the history of mankind. - In the last 800 years, France has beaten over 200 against England, over 150 against Germanic nations, over 190 against Spanish/Portuguese, and against many other nations. Very often these wars were fought against France, which outnumbered the coalitions of several nations aimed at destroying it. France, a warrior nation par excellence, we still study today the strategies deployed by these generals, in particular the campaigns of Napoleon Bonaparte. On all lands and all continents, France has shown the world what it is worth in the fight. But France is also the one that colonized England in 1066, this country francized for centuries to the point that 40% of English words are of French origin. It is the Daughter Nation of the Church, because the first Barbarian King of Europe to convert is none other than Clovis I, King of the Franks, it is therefore the protector of Christianity, even within its national borders one feels fate. The one who dismantled the 900 year old Holy Roman Empire. Allow Germany to be born 65 years later. The one who allowed the independence of the USA by fighting in America against the English. The country of "Dynasties" Many European kings have French ancestors. - Under Saint Louis, France is the richest and most populous country in Europe as well as the most intellectually and artistically developed, influencing all of Europe. - . The one that dominated Europe for several centuries, making its royal court the most popular and appreciated by the Kings of Europe. These remarkable achievements help explain another French military victory. Whether ranks (general, captain, corporal, lieutenant...); equipment (spear, mine, bayonet, epaulette, trench...); organization (volunteer, regiment, soldier, barracks...) or strategy (army, camouflage, combat, esprit de corps, reconnaissance...), the language of war is written in a single language: French."

Я истинно уважаю Францию, её народ и армию. Вклад Франции в победу в первой мировой бесценен. Страшной ценой они достигли великой победы, сдержав наступление мощной немецкой армии. Хотя обе стороны остались на одних и тех же позициях, они понесли огромные потери в смертоносных схватках и обстрелах. Упорство, неустанность, желание сражаться до конца и неимоверный труд позволили французам одержать величайшую победу. Желаю мира и дружбы обеим нациям🇨🇵🤝🇩🇪

L’esprit de l’armée française de cette époque est indescriptible et restera à jamais un mystère pour l’homme moderne. Mais je suppose que leur esprit était immortel, indestructible et incassable. Leur tempérament est plus fort que le fer et l’acier combinés, même après la mort. Ils ont véritablement conquis le temps et l’espace autour d’eux, accomplissant le plus grand exploit pour la France.

Most French military song are like that. Slow paced, little to no music and respectful to war rather than jolly about it. It's a style, some like it other doesn't. It differ from Germans and English that are usually more cheerful. I would say that Russians are more like French too.

Mind-blowing fact: In ww1, France had 1.4 M soldiers dead (1.398 M to be precise) - that's more than all the US soldiers killed at war in the whole history of the USA (1776-2023) - and I count the US civil war in which both sides were Americans! It's even more shocking if you consider that a large number of these US military deaths were endured while the USA had a much bigger population than France in ww1 (France had a population somewhere between 39.5 M and 41.5 M, in 1914 (I've seen different estimates)). US soldiers dead at war: US civil war: between ~620 k and ~750 k deads (probably around 655 k) ww2: ~407 k ww1: ~116 k Vietnam: ~58 k (47.4 k directly in combat) The other wars have much smaller numbers of deads and are kind of negligible compared to the numbers of these.

To try to understand the impact of WWI on the country, go in rural France. In almost every villages, there is a monument with the names of the soldiers killed during the war. Even in very small villages, you can read 10 or 15 names, sometime 2, 3, 4 or 5 of the same family...

The sacrifice of french people (and all people of the war) during WW1 has been gigantic, because none can count all the deads, wounded, traumatized people. Counting only dead soldiers, 30% of 18-30 yo men of the country died during the WW1, 5% of the population. It's like if USA loose 16.5 million soldier now ! French population has been traumatized and none wanted a new war, but they still fight bravely during the only month of confrontation of may-june 1940. 100 000 dead soldiers in only one month, that's a lot. The defeat is mainly due the choice of the old aristochratric generals during the period 1918-1940.
