Passchendaele - Lest We Forget
A video I created for rememberance day for my school assembly, in honor of the men (from all sides) that had perished during the Great War.
Film: Passchendaele; is a 2008 Canadian war film, written, co-produced, directed by, and starring Paul Gross. The film, which was shot in Calgary, Alberta, Fort Macleod, Alberta, and in Belgium, focuses on the experiences of a Canadian soldier, Michael Dunne, at the Battle of Passchendaele, also known as the Third Battle of Ypres. The film had its premiere at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival on September 4, 2008, when it also had the honour of opening the festival, and it was released widely in Canada on October 17, 2008.
Song: Sgt. MacKenzie; Joseph MacKenzie wrote the haunting lament after the death of his wife, Christine, and in memory of his great-grandfather, Charles Stuart MacKenzie, a sergeant in the Seaforth Highlanders, who along with hundreds of his brothers-in-arms from the Elgin-Rothes area in Moray, Scotland went to fight in the Great War. Sergeant MacKenzie was bayoneted to death at the age of 35, while defending one of his badly injured fellow soldiers in the hand-to-hand fighting of the trenches.
Rememberance Day; (also known as Poppy Day or Armistice Day) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth countries since the end of World War I to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty. This day, or alternative dates, are also recognized as special days for war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries.

    Многие думают что против СССР воевали одни гитлеровцы гитлеровской Германии ! Напоминаем ! СССР пришлось воевать против всей Европы ! 1. Дания. 2.Румыния. 3.Венгрия. 4. Италия. 5. Голландия. 6. Поляки. 7. Бельгийцы. 8. Французы. 9. Чехи и словаки. 10. Словакия. 11. Финляндия. 12. Шведы. 13. Швейцария. 14. Люксембург. 15. Норвегия. 16. Австрийцы. 17. Молдаване. 18. Евреи. 19. Испанцы. 20. Хорватия. 21. Эстонцы, латыши и литовцы. 22. Нидерланды. 23. РОА. Испания и Дания войны не объявляли, но своих солдат отрядили. Болгары с нами не воевали, но выдвинули 12 дивизий против югославских и греческих партизан и тем самым дали возможность немцам переправить часть своих войск с Балкан на Восточный фронт. Необходимо также упомянуть, что такие союзники Гитлера как Турция, в военных действиях против СССР участия не принимали, зато военную и гражданскую продукцию для Германии производили. На лето 1941 года 900 тыс. европейцев выступили против нас. 900 тыс. из них не немцы, а их союзники. В целом же за войну эта цифра возросла до 2 млн. человек. Нейтральные страны так же вовсю снабжали гитлеровскую Германию стратегическим сырьем !

  • @LaHayeSaint

    This film highlights the futility of war. Why were men being murdered, waist-deep in mud? To gain 100 m more of a muddy field? That is no justification at all. In Vietnam, Officers were "fragged" (shot by their own troops) for a lot less, leading the men on futile, dangerous jungles patrols for no apparent reason. No decent soldier could listen to the lies they were being told by their politicians and Generals. That just didn't add up. But the bodies of fathers, sons, husbands and loved ones were piling up daily in their thousands.

    WW2 may have had more deaths, but nothing matches the absolute terror that these men went through, being in a trench or shell hole filled with water and blood, not knowing if an artillery shell is gonna rip you apart, being scared if the attack if gonna happen, none of us can truly know what they fully went through

    Ten minutes in, this is bs. It's completely unrealistic in every respect. Soldiers in WW1 did not lay in ponds during bombardments, they went underground to bunkers. And they fought from extensive trenches not shell holes. Btw the direct outcome of WW1 was WW2. Nobody who participated in this worthless war was doing any good for any country. They are zeroes not heroes. "The soldiers on all sides should shoot their officers and come home." Nobel Laureate George Bernard Shaw's comment at the time (on WW1). Shaw was correct.

Dear Dad's terrible malady didn't surface until some years following his combat experience(s) which hospitalized him for over 2 years @ 2 separate VA hospitals, dealing w/that mental anguish he'd undergone.

      Right you are but the Canadians were attacking after the ANZAC attack was spent. ANZACS held there gains while the Canadians pushed through them to the objective. Nothing to say about who was responsible for the final success because the Colonials were used up here starting with South Africans, then ANZACS and finally the Canadians. The Brits were spent months before. Canadians finally took the town but the Brits lost it to the Germans the next year. Lesson learned for Canada, don't fight under Brit leadership. Paid off in the Spring at Vimy Ridge.

    My Great Grandfather was there. He fought I the trenches for one of the Loyal Irish Regiments. He was shot once and came back again. He was a machine gunner. Story- He was the 4th of 5th machine gunners. All of the others got shot and he was up. He got shot in the stomach and unfortunately they fought he was dead and he couldn't get up. They went around after the battle and picked up all of the dead bodies to find that he was still alive. He came back after they patched him up to end the war without being touched. Story 2- An enemy soldier was shooting at him every time he peaked over the trenches. So he asked to return fire with 5 rounds. He shot BANG! BANG! and the enemy soldier never looked up again. He is my true hero I cannot thank you enough Private Edward Roche♥️.
