Yorckscher Marsch Rare Version

This video conveys the age of war. All content depicted and all sides shown in this video are not to be misconstrued within the context of this video as being glorified. I believe soldiers fight for their countries regardless of the side, this video merely is an attempt to put the audience back in time, to experience the music and the footage of the time as if they were actually there.

World War 1 would not have happened if France was not seeking revenge for 1871 and wanting Alsace Lorraine back, the Austria-Serbia situation was a proxy war between Germany and Russia, and France/UK should have let them sort out the problem themselves. Problem is, if they did that, they knew Germany would absolutely win and become too powerful, and they could not allow balance of power in Europe favor Germany. That is all. As for WW2, that was 100% Germany's fault, aggression and lying. Though small partly to blame on the Versailles treaty being so harsh, causing further extremism. Overall, a gigantic tragedy for all of Europe involved, entire generation lost fighting over hegemony in Europe. Hopefully never again. The Honor, aesthetics and pride of militarism is very fascinating though, so at least we have that to appreciate the heroism.

[@pantherausf.d6914]

@@FriedrichBarb Germans had already a plan for invading France and Russia before WW1, they just searched an excuse, which was the Archduke assassination. Austria-Hungary which was an ally of the German Empire declared war on Serbia which was an ally of Russia, which was an ally of France and the United Kingdom, and the USA joined because the Germans sank an American ship.

[@FriedrichBarb]

@@pantherausf.d6914 You are extremely incorrect and biased, leave out major notes: 1) Every nation had "Plan X" in preparation and incase of war, against multiple of their neighbors, even their allies. Having such a plan ready is defensive preparation, it is not valid evidence that offensive was certain. France had a plan before WW1 to go offensive in Germany also, so it goes against your logic 2) Yes, like I said, it was a Austria-Hungary and Serbia dispute, Proxy war, between Germany and Russia. It has *nothing* to do with France or UK, and used "They are our ally" to stop German victory against Russia. So by definition, the real warmonger was France, making the situation more violent than it needed to. 3) USA ships would have never been sunk had UK/France joined war, since then no reason to try cut off supply lines in the Atlantic and cause errors like that.

[@scanida5070]

2:02 Note the kids practicing the Prussian drill and wearing the Navy’s uniform or at least similar ones. It was very common in schools back then to practice military drill, marching and even parades with marches. This tradition has somewhat survived to this day with the local marksmen clubs in Westphalia still doing it frequently before their parades. Edit: So here‘s a funfact: It‘s actually illegal in Germany to march over a bridge in step. This is because many lighter bridges could start to swing which could potentially damage the bridge. Quite funny though how this is seen as a crime ^^

Especially in Germany and Austria that is a huge problem in my eyes. Hell, some researchers even say we barely have any young people left that are willing to work 40 hours a week. We have started to take all the wealth and peace we have for granted.

@welc mabu Nonsense. I was born in the 90s and my Grandfather used to tell me that the youth hasn‘t changed one bit. I quote: “You’re the same old rascals as we were in our hay-day. The apples don’t fall far from the tree.” They literally stole weapons from military barracks and construction equipment and fucked around with it. My favourite story: They threw a hammer against a grenade without it going off. Two days later, the grenade awoke them in the morning. The youth has always been like this. We were all messing around with our friends in the streets or were disrespectful towards others, that’s just the average guy in puberty. Of course, there’s always the “Rotten” ones who smoke or are trouble makers around the clock but today’s youth is certainly not completely like that. It’s just that the loudest ones get the most attention.

I think you must accept that parade marches can often be at a slightly different pace from route marches and at that period some regimental marches eg rifles marched faster than others. There is also the faster March of cavalry. The film maker has merely used the supplied stock. Beethoven would not have been aware of this!

[@spartakusgoulash3109]

I edited it so that each stanza fit into as long and as comprehensive a shot as I could find, also film quality back then limited frame rate. The films are usually slower when played back at normal speed, so they're sped up and compressed.

Bismarck rabroua l'émissaire avec ces phrases devenues célèbres: "Votre carte de l'Afrique est très belle, mais ma carte de l'Afrique est accrochée ici au mur: voilà la Russie, voilà la France, et nous au milieu; c'est ma carte de l'Afrique".

[@maximkretsch7134]

Thanks to an other, more open-hearted French politician named Georges Demartial we know pretty well for almost one hundred years how this all started: In 1924, after analysing and comparing the diplomatic colour books published by all main WW1 powers, and the secret Tsarist documents published by the Soviet government, he published his book "The War of 1914, the Gospel of the French Foreign Ministry" (La guerre de 1914. L'évangile du quai d'Orsay) in which the main blame for the outbreak of the war was clearly assigned to Russia, incited above all by France, to a lesser existent by Great Britain. Since he based his evidence exclusively on documents published by France itself (which had been meant to prove the opposite), he could not be tried even in chauvinist France, since otherwise the court would have had to confirm the truth of his statements and the whole foundation of the peace "treaties" (and the lot of looting which was behind it) would have crumbled. By the way, the book "August 1914" by Barbara Tuchman is an imposition as a scientific book. Her bias is clearly evident in the fact that she herself is American and Jewish and wrote the book from a post-1945 perspective.

Знамёна высь и песню запевай, Так иди вперёд и всегда побеждай! Знамёна высь и песню запевай, Так иди вперёд и всегда побеждай! С нами Фридрих Великий Он наш полководец! Так давайте быть с ним Он наш победоносец! Так вперёд за Пруссию! На Париж, за свободу! Давайте стремиться к единению, И покажем Бонапарту, что мы сильны! Тралалалалалалалалала! Фридрих, правитель, с лавровым венком Награждает солдат этим днём. Старый Фриц великий, ты наш герой Изгнал дьявола, принёс нам покой. Мушкет мощно бьëт, зарядите же их. И пушки нам нужны, прикатите их. Все снаряды из железа и свинца. Канонада началась, наградите молодца. Наша артиллерия сильна, как гром, Заряжена прусским солдатом-молодцом. Шведы без укрытия, в чистом поле Разделили с австрийцами горькую долю.
