Always struck me as strange why a movie that is in English needs to have all the French Characters speak with a French accent. We know they are French characters. In reality the would be speaking French, not English with a French accent. I swear that the producers of most movies think that we are that dumb. I don't say that this is a bad movie, but the producers should have watched Paths to Glory made by a master director. All French characters and not a French accent to be found. Imagine Kurt Douglas with a phony French Accent.
What is very often forgotten is the fierce battle and resistance of the Belgian soldiers throughout Belgium. In the surroundings of my hometown for example there is a cemetery, and several landmarks where battles have taken place. For every major road, or crossing, even small or of little importance, there was a battle
After the fall of Liege and the frontier forts, the Belgian Army was forced back relentlessly, to the coast and then down along it toward the British lines. Eventually they opened the dikes fronting their sector to prevent the Germans (von Kluck's I Army, the "far right arm" of the Schlieffen Plan) from approaching them. They hung tough until the end of the war.
it s make me feel bloody proud to see those soldiers where Belgain army uniform s, my grandfather was a Belgain soldier from 1916 till 1919, field artelerie , and trench artelerie ,
Arthur piantadosi, actually America joined WWI one in 1915 then dropped out of the conflict in 1917 EDIT: this comment is false. At the time of writing it I did not know the actual facts of America's involvement. The truth is that they joined serious diplomatic discussions in 1914 then joined militarily in 1917 effectively sealing the fate of the war in favor of the allies. Were it not for their continued efforts and involvement, the central powers would likely have done enough damage to at least get away with a white peace if not victory. After learning this I only wish that America had joined earlier on as this may have indeed prevented the next war in Europe, and prevented the rise of communism in Russia.
JHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH A AH A HAHA HAHA AHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ehe eh e o ohoho hooh o ho aghah ahaa h AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our TV at the time of this airing rarely got the channel very well that carried this. Only bits I remember is an Old Man Jones telling the tales of his life to an interested young boy of similar age to my own of the time. I'd forgotten about this series. I should look into getting it.
What's sad is that the charge in this film actually looks better than most WWI charges I see in more recent movies (except for "A Very Long Engagement")
The rifle shot at 11:58 is honestly just beautiful. One of my favorite classic gun sounds since I first heard it from Kazim's guerillas with their VZ 24 rifles in "The Last Crusade".
The Legendary song "one" by Metallica was about a soldier who sustained ww1 injury's. He could not see, he was paralyzed and limbless . Imagine not knowing if your alive or dead? Awake or dreaming? "Johnny got his Gun". Great book .
Anyone that has study WWI history would know it will not be just be mortars, but all sort of field guns. In some places in the western front its been estimated that three tons of shells per yard were drop. In checking the hospital records, seventy-five present of all casualty were from artillery. Even today there are places that are still off limits as people are still getting killed from WWI artillery shells
my grandfather was a machine gunner in the sherwood foresters..( life expectancy in a battle was approx two and a half hrs )..he got gassed but survived.. when the germans sent over gas shells about 7000 started running he said..about 300 survived and a most of them had lung problems all there lives
" Trincheras del infierno "....excelente film donde refleja la matanza...la carniceria .en los campos de batallas durante la 1ra guerra mundial. Cuando el oficial a cargo hacia sonar ese pito...y tenian q correr a campo travieso sorteando las explosiones..la metralla del enemigo...ahi se desataba.el infierno....como dice el titulo del film.
This is tragic and heartbreaking. WW1 still brings me to tears it was such a waste of human life and for absolutely nothing better in the future. I love soldiers and would never even think of hurting one. Think of all they do for us and how little thanks they get. They die for us and we call them murderers and I hate that I won't stand for it. My last name is Flemish. People don't know that they think "Mitchner" is German or something. Actually it's Flemish. Belgians and French are all nice people most of them I don't know why they hate each other, but they do. This is a very realistic look into trench warfare and life and death for these great brave boys. Much love to you all.
Benjamin Blake Mitchner when you said "for absolutely nothing better in the future" that is not true soldiers die and fight for us because they don't want bad pepole to hurt us and second look into in the second or first world War if the allies didt fight we would have horrible life would you live under Hitters order he was racist to many people so apparently you want that. the point is the soldiers made a HUGE difference to human life. and if we let hitter attack and do nothing about it life would completely suck
And that is why people really did die for nothing in WWI, however, I will say that they didn't die Entirely for nothing, they did save the freedoms of: France, poland, Belgium, Yugoslavia, Italy, the middle eastern countries, and southeastern European states. such as Romania etc. So it they did die for something after all, but not quite what they intended.
I am Canadian. Some of my ancestors have lived on this continent for thousands of years. My European immigrant ancestors have been on the soil called Canada for many generations. Both my parents were WWII veterans. But I knew nothing of the enmity between the Belgians and French til today!
guys, look up "in vlaamse velden" have not watched the full show myself, but it came out due to the hundred year aniversary of ww1 a couple years back, and they actually show the situation better than most shows,
My grand-grand uncle was to tall for the trenches and has been shot. My grand-grand-father fought in the trenches, Flanders fields and won. His brother has been decorated(the decorations ara at home)but he had PTTS. It was the hell for them, they did not like it. They were glad WOI was over and their country was liberated. A Fleming. The English soldiers came after the gaz attacks to the farm of the parents of my grand mother for shelter, medical care, food, warmth, rest and new clothes. I still can tell you a lot of that war because a heard a lot of stories from my family and visited the trenches myself. Some spot gives me the feeling I have been there before, most other spots not. As a kid I knew a lot of those trench soldiers. It is hard.
like in ww2 you got a mg a rochet auncher you could hide better but in ww1 it was like napoleonic tactics vs continous mg fire and like yo paul octave i like history
@@Xingmey The problem is that trenches on the western front during WW1 was often soaked in rain which turned the trenches into a quagmire of mud and water. Meaning that there would be no way for everyones uniforms to be sparkly clean. Officers maybe found ways to try and keep their uniforms cleaner or have them cleaned more regularly. Just imagine yourself walking around a wet and muddy trench all day long. You are going to get some stains on your clothes no matter what.
@@richhh9000 I hate how people like you state things as if they are facts. Consider this, these soldiers just got on the line therefore have no had chance to get dirty yet (people did clean clothes back then and soldiers were required to). It doesn’t constantly rain in Europe and when the ground has dried out the groundwater level lowers ergo there wouldn’t be any water in the bottom of the trench.
@@archluke6099 Geez man sorry if I sounded like a wiseass, was not my intention. Was simply stating that trenches could often be soaked from rainfall, which would make maintaining clean uniforms problematic. I live in Sweden and it does occasionally rain in Europe dude. I've watched many photos from WW1 trenches and sometimes It's muddy and terrible, other times It's dry and less terrible.
History is so ironic. Countries like Britain, France and Belgium fight together even though they had centuries of warfare and hatred. The Germans had that effect of uniting strange alliances against them. Just look at the USSR and the USA.
Ok, it's from Young Indiana Jones. This was a series I didn't like very much and didn't watch a lot of. But to be completely fair, this isn't too very awful. I'm an ACW reenactor and have several friends who are much more interested in WWI. From them, I've learned a great deal. The animosity between the French and the Belgians was very real. It got so bad that the Belgian king, King Albert, demanded that Belgians be deployed only under BEF command. The trench systems are actually overly dug-in for 1915... And you'll note that there is no mud, dust, or vermin. But you really can't show the Hellishness of WWI on prime time TV in the States.
At one point during the war Albert I wanted to switch sides as well, after all, it makes more sense for Belgium to be on the side of Germany due to cultural and historical reasons, and most Belgian territory was occupied by the Germans anyway. Also: during the Anglo-Boer wars Belgian sympathy lay obviously with the Boers, just as it was in Germany and the Netherlands. This conflict was still fresh on everyone's minds. An assassination by French spies destroyed the secret diplomacy of Albert I with the Germans, BTW.
the Belgians never where never under BEF command, the Belgian army remained the Belgian Army. the Belgains fought alongside the british and french but the Belgian king king did not want to sacrifice any men if he didn't want to and denied almost every request for offensive(and pointless) actions (except the raids from antwerp in 1914 which gave the french some much needed time to prepare for the marne) until 1917-1918. The belgian army was not capable of performing offensive actions until late '15, early 16 since it took on the full might of the german war machine in 1914, they performed way better then anyone including the germans could've dreamed of but they also lost a massive ammount of their men in those first few months. this angered the british and the french so the relations between the belgians and it's allies where strained to say the least, it got so bad that the french and british at a certain point where not called allies but guarenteers (or something in that line).
did not realise that background Belgium/France WW1... Of course, there is an ethnic and language dichotomy in the Belgians..half are not French first language...maybe that did not help?
The watch at 11:38 is way newer and can't be from the first world war, it's probably from after the second world war even. The automatic watch was invented in 1923, but even in the second world war military personal didn't use automatic watches, they used hand-wound watches because those were more reliable. Also, the watch shown is this clip is a moonphase and annual calendar dress watch, which doesn't fit in a military environment.
@@sdporres Damn right. The courage of the Belgian army was something those germans had not counted on. They never managed to conquer all of Belgium during WW1
The first battles were like that. The attackers expected that the German troops would mostly be destroyed by the artellary bombardment before the battle but in fact it would have less effect than they expected
I looked after men British who fought in WW1, they said, the French didn't like the British, but the Belgians hated us more, their words not mine, if anyone doesn't believe me, that's fine, i was only 16 when i looked after these brave men in 1978.
@@shawnwellington6963 Just as the Anglo-Saxons did not like Francophones. There is an old story between France and England. And then, France has been many times the first power of the world. The break in what we know today was after Napoleon.
Not true, the Flemings loved the British. I am a Fleming and I know they did. My family fought in the trenches. They loved the British much more then the French. They still do. They really loved them. My grand mother did not like the Germans, neither the French.
Reminds me of "Gallipoli" ... In this case it was the British who sacrificed the Australians ... WW I saw the introduction of poison gas, but it was the tank that broke the trench warfare stalemate and advantaged the Allies ... 20 years after WW I was concluded, Germany rearmed, and the conflict was resumed with increased lethality of more modern weapons ...
Australians played a huge part, and suffered high casualties, but it's ingenuous to claim it was all Anzacs. English, Scottish and Irish regiments were decimated, and Indian soldiers also participated. My grandfather was with the RIR, who were thrown into battle straight from the training depot, and cut to pieces by the Turks. It's not a competition to claim which country lost the most men. Every one was some mother's son, and many Anzacs were British immigrants to Australia and New Zealand, doing what they perceived to be their patriotic duty. Petty nationalism is a curse, both then and now.
Well, I suppose it wasn't quite as obscure then as it is now. But WW1 sank into the misty past much more rapidly than has WW2. A lot of once famous events are depicted in the Young Indiana Jones chronicles which I've never seen depicted elsewhere. For instance, it's a bit silly and overdone, but he gets involved in the East African campaign. He also gets involved in the Irish Easter Uprising.
I love how the main character who is supposed to be Belgian sounds the most American. The characters that aren't even shown as much as him have a better accent.
+SuperJSkyline Maybe watch the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles before you make a fool of yourself. He is Indiana Jones. He's a 17 year old American. He traveled to Europe and lied about his age and signed up for the Belgian army because the States had not declared war on the Germans yet. He speaks fluent German and French, but since the actor doesnt, they improvise and keep 95% in English. The few scenes where he does have to speak German and French, he does a good job but ofc with a thick american accent, eventhough they claim he's fluent with no hitn of accent in the series :-)
+Ole The Viking Maybe, you should calm down and read what I write. I figure, he doesnt know the series, which still doesnt warrant his flaming it, and then tries to enlighten him. All you do is trying to pour oil on the fire. I think SuperJSkyline was happy that I enlightened him. Maybe even got him hooked to watch the fun series.
este es mi episodio favorito de esta serie, Las Trincheras del Infierno, ademas del Tren Fantasma, Los Hombres halcon, Aventuras en el Servicio Secreto, Los Temerarios del Desierto, entre otros capitulos
@9:20 well....other than the fact that enemy machineguns have a view of the WHOLE battlefield, you may as well put some snipers to use and keep them preoccupied.
they did alright on this series, for what it was, obviously the Western Front through the Belgians' eyes is the one we see least often.. recommend in the same vein the 1980s 'All Quiet on the Western Front" remake, starring Richard Thomas and Earnest Borgnine..TV movie, but alright for what it was..brutal depictions of hand to hand combat...which the Huns mostly get the better of...LOL..
@Владимир Новиков They were leftover uniforms from an earlier age, when soldiers still fought in big stand-up formations. Military advisors to the European nations had already had a preview of what World War 1 was going to be like in the Russo-Japanese war of 1904-5. That's now mainly remembered for it's naval engagements and the decisive Japanese victory at Tsushima (you can still visit the flagship), but the land battles were a meat grinder.
They are not conventional mortars, but "minenwerfen" -- a kind of heavy grenade-thrower. They were low-velocity weapons meant for throwing HE, illumination rounds, and eventually gas bombs only 200-400m downrange. You could indeed see the rounds leave the tube, and (in daylight) the rounds themselves in their arcing flight.
Stuck in a trench with all of those torturous accents, I would’ve run into machine gun fire too
oh you should see the guys in school trying to pronounce an english word XD
laughs in honhonhon
i'm still waiting to ear an american or an englishman pronouncing french sentences without accent

Whatever you say, american. Your accent is atrocious too.
This is from " The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.", 1992. A young Indiana Jones joins his Belgian friend into the Belgian army.
@Christoff Starbuck Yes, actually.
@Timmons being shot with arrows It's hard to joign the foreign legion, it's a very good troop.
Yeah, I remember this series - didn't young Indy also take to the air?
i remember seeing this back in the day and was very impressed!
Kid friendly entertainment of the 90'ies.
Officer ; "fix bajonettes"! Belgian soldiers ; "way ahead of you, Sir"
French soldiers: Fix Baguettes
German soldiers: turn on the gas!
British soldiers : valuables in the bucket
Russian soldiers: "What's a bayonet?"
Americans: Carry the oil
9:10 - the chateau sits on high ground.

They gave up their lives to fight off foreigners. And today you hand your nation to them without a fight. Shame on you.
Ieper?
This was a great series, Amazing Indiana Jones
The Indy Chronicles, about Indiana Jones when he was a youth.
We need a uniform that blends into the background, blues good! 😂
Its not that bad. If germans look up on them, french matches the sky
But the Germans were looking down upon them in this case.
You Are right. But somewhere else it was a different case
They wore bright red pants at the beginning of the war, too.
It was going to be covered in mud anyway so I think it hardly matters
it s make me feel bloody proud to see those soldiers where Belgain army uniform s, my grandfather was a Belgain soldier from 1916 till 1919, field artelerie , and trench artelerie ,
Serbian uniforms from WW1 looked exactly the same
5:59 And here we see Gabe Newells greatgrandfather

TV episode from young Indy Jones. it was a good series back in 80s. TV suxs today.
90's
Since when are Belgians stoners from California.
This is about Indiana Jones, the one speaking with an American accent is him.
Belgians are Belgians, stoners from CA are stoners from CA.
He enlisted as a volunteer in the Belgian Army, because in 1916 America was not in the war.

Nah bro, like, other way around and whatever, like, us californians, we're like, actually Belgians. Pretty sick, I know.
I love it five stars the whole entire videos I watched them all

this war scene is so much better than many other contemporary war movies
French: *Badmouth the Belgians*
Belgians: *Arguably keep the entire Western Front from falling to German forces by temporarily halting their advance!*

I may be distant Belgian but this short movie makes me proud of it.
You should be very proud of it. The Belgians, in both world wars, fought like lions, led bravely by their King.
@@sdporres Damn right. The courage of the Belgian army was something those germans had not counted on.
They never managed to conquer all of Belgium during WW1
Wait.... the French military looks down on the Belgians? Wow, now I have heard everything.
They looked down at the germans for centuries
When the soldiers went over the top they didnt run through no mans land. They walked
The first battles were like that. The attackers expected that the German troops would mostly be destroyed by the artellary bombardment before the battle but in fact it would have less effect than they expected
what country are the guys in tan meant to be from
I looked after men British who fought in WW1, they said, the French didn't like the British, but the Belgians hated us more, their words not mine, if anyone doesn't believe me, that's fine, i was only 16 when i looked after these brave men in 1978.
I believe in you.British being hated in Europe was normal just like how world hate America.being the strongest ancient country was not easy
@@shawnwellington6963 Just as the Anglo-Saxons did not like Francophones. There is an old story between France and England. And then, France has been many times the first power of the world. The break in what we know today was after Napoleon.
@@thibskywalker4450 france also responsible for the america revolution against british monarchy colonization in 1700s
Not true, the Flemings loved the British. I am a Fleming and I know they did. My family fought in the trenches. They loved the British much more then the French. They still do. They really loved them. My grand mother did not like the Germans, neither the French.
Germans be like... We have the higher ground
The face on those children’s faces lol
im glad they used the right rifles
Reminds me of "Gallipoli" ... In this case it was the British who sacrificed the Australians ... WW I saw the introduction of poison gas, but it was the tank that broke the trench warfare stalemate and advantaged the Allies ... 20 years after WW I was concluded, Germany rearmed, and the conflict was resumed with increased lethality of more modern weapons ...
Australians played a huge part, and suffered high casualties, but it's ingenuous to claim it was all Anzacs. English, Scottish and Irish regiments were decimated, and Indian soldiers also participated. My grandfather was with the RIR, who were thrown into battle straight from the training depot, and cut to pieces by the Turks. It's not a competition to claim which country lost the most men. Every one was some mother's son, and many Anzacs were British immigrants to Australia and New Zealand, doing what they perceived to be their patriotic duty. Petty nationalism is a curse, both then and now.
Cannon fodder arriving sir.
"HE SOLD US OUT" the funniest thing I've heard lmao
props to abc for handling such an obscure subject as ww1 - still way too clean and sanitized. not sure network tv could really depict the ordeal
Well, I suppose it wasn't quite as obscure then as it is now. But WW1 sank into the misty past much more rapidly than has WW2. A lot of once famous events are depicted in the Young Indiana Jones chronicles which I've never seen depicted elsewhere. For instance, it's a bit silly and overdone, but he gets involved in the East African campaign. He also gets involved in the Irish Easter Uprising.
Does anybody else like it more than me
Seems like the Belgium army are fighting alongside with a French army
Of Course
Is, that because they're allies do you think 🙄
Thanks captain obvious
Those Beauxbatons students appear to have gotten off at the wrong stop.
I love how the main character who is supposed to be Belgian sounds the most American. The characters that aren't even shown as much as him have a better accent.
+SuperJSkyline Perhaps he was an American serving in the Belgian army. After all, the French army had Americans serving in it (Lafayette Escadrille).
+SuperJSkyline Maybe watch the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles before you make a fool of yourself. He is Indiana Jones. He's a 17 year old American. He traveled to Europe and lied about his age and signed up for the Belgian army because the States had not declared war on the Germans yet. He speaks fluent German and French, but since the actor doesnt, they improvise and keep 95% in English. The few scenes where he does have to speak German and French, he does a good job but ofc with a thick american accent, eventhough they claim he's fluent with no hitn of accent in the series :-)
Yeah I know, didn't know this was the Indiana Jones series.
+beersmurff calm down m8. They didnt know because they have never heard of it.
+Ole The Viking Maybe, you should calm down and read what I write. I figure, he doesnt know the series, which still doesnt warrant his flaming it, and then tries to enlighten him. All you do is trying to pour oil on the fire. I think SuperJSkyline was happy that I enlightened him. Maybe even got him hooked to watch the fun series.
The 369th Infantry Regiment "Harlem Hellfighters" was there. Fought under the French flag.
Watching the series again😜
Same train station in Fraulein Doctor.
este es mi episodio favorito de esta serie, Las Trincheras del Infierno, ademas del Tren Fantasma, Los Hombres halcon, Aventuras en el Servicio Secreto, Los Temerarios del Desierto, entre otros capitulos
@9:20 well....other than the fact that enemy machineguns have a view of the WHOLE battlefield, you may as well put some snipers to use and keep them preoccupied.
hold on no flandern/dutch?
i would have enjoyed it to be one of the only ones wo would actially understand it (i'm dutch)
they did alright on this series, for what it was, obviously the Western Front through the Belgians' eyes is the one we see least often..
recommend in the same vein the 1980s 'All Quiet on the Western Front" remake, starring Richard Thomas and Earnest Borgnine..TV movie, but alright for what it was..brutal depictions of hand to hand combat...which the Huns mostly get the better of...LOL..
what is the original title of this movie? i'm trying to look on IMBD but don'f found yet. anyone tell me? thanks
tell me why i keep watching this
Everyone else camo or light color uniforms.
French blue its a nice color lets keep it.
the French refer t t as bleu horizon".... horizon blue... sure beats the red "pantalons garances" they wore in 1914!!!!
@Владимир Новиков They were leftover uniforms from an earlier age, when soldiers still fought in big stand-up formations.
Military advisors to the European nations had already had a preview of what World War 1 was going to be like in the Russo-Japanese war of 1904-5. That's now mainly remembered for it's naval engagements and the decisive Japanese victory at Tsushima (you can still visit the flagship), but the land battles were a meat grinder.
This is an episode of the "Young Indiana Jones" series.
Voilà des soldats bien propres guère conformes à la réalité !
Lord Peter Wimsey in charge I see....
Thank you so much for uploading I watched this when I was 10. Now I’m 13 and wants to watch it again thx liked it😉👍🏻
Good pic but most are wearing the M26 pattern helmet as in 1926 and only a few wearing the M15 helmet as in 1915
Europe here shows its traditional answer to the problem of too many young men for its economy to absorb!
Don Hansen
Scenes from the tv show young Indiana Jones. Was a great series that touched on many events & ppl of early 20th century.
I mean atleast its a little less hollywood explosion type
dang they put alot of pretty make up on all the troops
bloody good brave Belgains
So, near the end, the commander yells “gas masks”. But no one puts one on.
12:42 guess those mortats fire them selves and u can see the shell come out wow ww1 mortars are crazy
They are not conventional mortars, but "minenwerfen" -- a kind of heavy grenade-thrower. They were low-velocity weapons meant for throwing HE, illumination rounds, and eventually gas bombs only 200-400m downrange. You could indeed see the rounds leave the tube, and (in daylight) the rounds themselves in their arcing flight.
Where can I find this movie?
