...only one of them will leave the hole alive.
In a different time and place, could enemies be friends?

Geeze - I think I'll go gargle with razor blades. I should note that I've looked on my wartime service with maybe too much pride, sort of trapped in that era. Films like this remind war is not a game. Just a back to back tragedy. Great film...very well done.
Appreciate the upload thank you

Let the asshole politicians who started the war fight and leave us alone!................
REMEMBRANCE DAY 2021 "Lest We Forget" Today we remember the freedoms our fallen soldiers sacrificed their lives for. The freedoms of speech, freedoms of association, freedoms of assembly, freedom of religion, and free movement. Free will, freedom of choice, and freedom of thought. No doubt those soldiers would be rolling in their graves to see the divide that has been created by our politicians in Australia as they have replaced our democratic freedoms with totalitarian mandates. Why can we go to a packed stadium to watch a game of football or the horse racing, but face the possibility of being tear gassed or shot with rubber bullets by the police if you dare to protest the removal of those freedoms? Why, on this day of remembrance do I feel that those freedoms they fought for are gone? Taken by the very people we trusted to protect those freedoms. To those soldiers who fought for our freedoms, thank you. SORRY THEY FORGOT
Ein überaus beeindruckender und sehr guter Film. Chapeau!
Thank you Walter. Translation: "A very impressive and very good film. Chapeau"
Very nicely done. I have been on Ypres battlefield tours, my extended family lost a member in the Great War. Very emotional. What you have created is a great piece of work in my opinion. Thanks for sharing it.
Thanks Steven, very kind of you to say. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Pete
Hell yes, they were an integral part of the allied war effort! How about Gallipoli.
A scene from All Quiet on the Western front.
Hard to watch poor Carl im sure there were people in the war like that on both sides so sad provokes you feelings
Yes Dario, for sure. Thanks for watching
WOW!! Powerful. Lest We Forget.
Thanks Adrian, much appreciated
What a film. ❤️👍 The acting and set up is extremely professional. Such a tradgedy that so many lives were wasted on this horrifying war. Extremely true how these two men could very well have been mates just a few years prior to conflict. 😓❣️
Thanks Julz XD, I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
Ypres is in Belgium, not France.
Yes, a regretful mistake that wasn't picked up until too late unfortunately. My sincere apologies to our Belgium friends

Vraiment très émouvant , nous n’oublierons jamais.
Thank you Frédéric for your kind words.
I have given this a like but it makes sad he waste
Brilliant work
The Bible says in Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. Salvation is in faith, but we must first realize that we're lost sinners and will die and burn in hell for eternity without Christ, once we see ourselves, all one needs to do is repent of their sins, and put their faith in God: believing with all their heart that He will forgive every sin. And asking Him to save their soul from hell with all faith and all sincerity! Believe in God and He will save you today.
Good movie, thank you.
👍👍
Should rename it all quiet on the wynum front

The Likely Lads Productions Thanks! Much appreciated
POWERFULL
Thanks scoobbbbbydo
Great! Great! Fantastic!
Thankyou
So sad
Thanks Trick
I've visited Ypres . It was very emotional. So many young lives lost in all that horror. R.IP
Thanks for watching Patricia
So have I. British army took our platoon over from Pirbright during basic training. Sooo many graves. You do not realise the scale of the deaths until you visit the military cemeteries'. Plus the 54,000 missing Commonwealth names at the Menin gate. That's just the Allies. Truly an emotional journey, that trip to Ypres (known as wipers during the great war) for Ainse platoon, Guards training coy in 2001. We were one of the last Guards platoons to train at Pirbright, before All training for the Guards division got conducted at Catterick. Also last platoon to pass out of Helles barracks before guards training coy moved across the road to Vimy. So passed out, had the pissup with the familys then back to scrub the block in twos, steaming drunk most of us. I witnessed 9/11 in Helles naafi. That's my story of the Guards training companies 2001/2.
Every bit as good as "All Quiet on The Western Front".
Wow Paul, high praise. Not sure it's up there with that, but I certainly love "All Quiet On The Western Front", - it had a big impact on me and am sure there's inspiration in there from that film.
Brought tears to my eyes ! I should think that there were similar compassionate incidents that happened in reality during the horrors of WW I. A moving, effective minature of a film.
Thanks so much. Yes I'm sure there was.
I can understand the lack of budget, but come on dude, why use a russian accent for a german...
OUTSTANDING .
Thanks Ken
At 10:25 you can see the blanks being run through the maxim machine gun
The only army to NOT shoot so called cowards, or, shell shocked soldiers, England, and France did . I knew some anzac s in Iraq 04 , medical teams in balad, c.a.s.f. good people.
Thanks for sharing, great video !
Thanks Michael
Hermosa escena... Subtítulos en Español por favor...

Outstanding video, outstanding story. Thanks so much for sharing this!
Thanks jmfa57 for your kind words. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Pete
Thanks jmfa57
Is that Sandgate at the start?
The memorial was at Tingalpa, and the old man with the bench seat and the tracking shot and wide shot of the battle field were at Wynnum foreshore.
@@petewelman Marvelous. Love your work mate, keep it up.
Very good
Thanks Justin
Thanks Justin
Queensland much like South Australia had a large number of people of German ancestry. I would love one of those irony moments where the protagonists both realise that they have far more in common than what they first realise. A German pilot in WW1 listed his birth place as Harkaway (a German settlement) in Victoria. At some point, his parents evidently decided to return to Germany. Stories from those types of angles intrigue me greatly.
Yes Vic, a very good idea. I remember looking at a WW1 Memorial in Hahndorf, SA (the name says it all) and the number of young men with very German names who had paid the ultimate sacrifice for their new country was incredible.
Pete Welman Yes, I have seen the Hahndorf memorial. With names like "Klose" - ie: the same surname from the same region (nowadays in Poland) where Miroslav Klose hails from. Stories from that angle are just waiting to be told. Well done overall.
If he was born in Australia and he went to Germany to us, he was a traitor and should be remembered as such.
@@combatwombat7114 his parents returned to Germany when the bloke was a kid. Traitor? Nope, just circumstances.
Some of my ancestors were German. Both were living in Australia at the time of both wars. One went from Queensland, the other went from WA. Both were related to each other with one in WA for work. I'm not too sure what happened to them over there though.
did the picture get mirrorred somehow? guys are crossing themselves with their left hands, from their right to left?.. 1:42
10/10 will we ever learn.
Well done. Very touching.
Thanks Daniel
Why the hell did these guys fight an absurd war wanted by the Europeans 10,000 miles from their home?
Most young Australians and their parents (who were most likely born in the UK), felt more "British" than Australian and as such felt compelled to their duty to the "Mother Country", a concept we are so removed from now we can't begin to comprehend. Also for those young people the sense of "adventure" and travel to the other side of the world, without the fear or knowledge we now have of the horrors of war.
