Still lying about Belgium babies on knives

Can't hardly hear the narrator over the music !

I enjoy a well made documentary about important events in history. But this documentary has so many lies it is worthless. It is ridiculous to claim the Germans used Zeppelins to attack England in WWI. It is a huge, slow moving vehicle. If you aim any type of gun firing projectiles then you cannot miss. The punctured Zeppelin would explode due to the volatile gases (hydrogen). The projectile does not need to be incendiary. The Hindenburg exploded and the catastrophe undermined the development lighter than airships. This event happened over Lakehurst, New Jersey on May 6, 1937. This was just 2 years before the start of WWII if you consider the NAZI-Soviet joint invasion of Poland as the start of WWII. It is ridiculous to claim that airships were used by the Germans to attack England. If this so called documentary can make such a ludicrous claim then the rest of this trash, pretending to be documentary, is garbage. Why a reputable organization like the BBC would produce garbage is beyond me.

Wonderful series, this. The intro is absolutely magnificent... ❤🙏

Channel is spelled with 2 N's !

250,000 casulties to not even capture the main objective...

One thing WW1 saw the end of was the archaic Napoleonic era tactic of sending hordes of men charging headlong into gunfire. The advent of the machine gun put into that insanity rather quickly!

The tactics to move Haig's drink cabinet 20 meters north was brilliant but costly.

Fall of Osmaniya Khelafat British Conspiracy

I try to imagine what my grandma aged 21 did on that day in Shipley.

Even in this episode, with its extended credits, we still do not find out the name of the script-writer. Yet this anonymous man or woman, probably commuting in from Bucks on the Metropolitan line each day for a salary of £10 a week, was touched by the hand of God. It's 26 episodes of some of the finest prose ever written in the English language.

The western front must have been horrendous. My grandpa suffered rheumatism the rest of his life after the 3 years in France. However the siege of Kut sounds every bit as awful, and worse if you were taken prisoner.

Lansdowne memorandum, November 16 1916- "Generations will have to come and go before the country recovers from the financial ruin and the destruction of the means of production which are taking place." He was correct. Britain finished paying its war debt to the USA in 2015.

Today's BBC could not make this, any more than a camel can pass through the eye of a needle. Still, there is some consolation in coming from a country that was once capable of great works like this.

In a world of reality TV and american comedy, I return to these again and again.

"Give us the Old Bull and Bush, cornet Joe." Thank God the BBC had the foresight to collect these testimonies from people who were actually there. This is worth a thousand times the various other channels out there cashing in on the war, and often just repeating information which is better told here.

The BBC could not make anything this good in the current era. There is nonetheless some consolation in coming from a country that was once able to do it.

VERY Cuntley watermark.

Great documentary

When European civilisation created suicide

Amazing series. Probably gives the British a bit to much credit for the final end of the war, but it's the BBC so that's quite understandable. 🙂 On the whole it is one of the best documentary series I've ever seen on any subject period.

who in gods name let that guy do a scottish accent, talking about the helmets

Amazing footage and detailed coverage but could have done without the irritating music.

England have stolen in Russia, give all this bag to Russia.

Quite rightly, we are told about the increase in the German population after 1870. However the Russian population was growing faster - in both absolute and percentage terms. AJP Taylor often reminds us that the Germans wanted war sooner rather than later, as they watched the Russian threat grow.

Whomever jumped off the bridge with what looked like a huge pancho, was very, very, very, very, stupid.

What series is this audio from?

In Greek mythology if you have a small peepee you are destined to be great commender

This is a magnificent series! The archival footage and the accompanying scholarship. It’s well done and an excellent companion to the “Guns of August” produced this same year

It was a slaughter from beginning til the end 6:39

Waow, fantastic Jewel of a channel. The Real thing

A great series just keep watching.

A thousand million? Thats so sad.😅 Thats more peoples then what live in China!😢.

"If ye break faith with us who die, we shall not sleep."

This series is flawless. The script is superb. I'm afraid it's a measure of how far the BBC has fallen.

What are the German marches used?

September 1914 is one of those major military turning points, as important as the battle of Midway, Stalingrad, Thermapoly, Waterloo, Austerlitz, Trafalgar, and others

What slowed and eventually brook the German offensive, and ultimately their spirit, was seeing how well the allied soldiers were living. It's that simple !

fake nonsensical proverb that was thought up by some stein or berg in the writers room

After Wilson finally realized how he had been manipulated to facilitate WW1, after the millions that died, he promptly had mental breakdown in 1921.

Serbia came out of the war with two-thirds of its army destroyed, i.e. in first place amongst all of the fighting nations.

After "German peace proposals" ..31:00 " Other newspapers demanded war until Germany was utterly smashed".. Who EXACTLY owned those newspapers that demanded the utter destruction of Germany ? Lloyd George, writting of the Versailles treaty: "The international bankers swept statesmen, politicians, journalists and jurists all to one side and issued their orders with the imperiousness of absolute monarchs."

Nice visuals, but I wouldn't trust Vine to read out a shopping list.

Just compare the quality of housing provided by the state in 1916 and the dehumanised monstrosities 'offered' to the poorer classes in the 1960s and 1970s by Tory and, shamefully, Labour Governments and Councils.

World War II was a gift for Churchill. Without it he would be just another failed and 'dodgy' politician.
