I don't recognize Indy without his vest.
Indy was the thin guy to the left
+Stefan T your left or mine?
+nastygollum Yes.
+nastygollum both
I indentify as the gender left and I'm triggered by the appropriation of my left-culture.
I was expecting Indy to don a whip and a fedora when exploring historical ruins.
I'm disappointed he didn't
We were so happy you came to visit Poland!
Thanks for helping us out.
My father, at the age of 14, fled Lemberg just ahead of the Russian advance. His aunt and uncle got the last train out and made it to Kraków. He had to take the road and made it only as far as Przemyśl, where he remained for the entire siege. When I studied history in college, I did a paper on the Galician campaign and the siege of Przemyśl. I also delivered a talk before the New York Military Affairs Symposium on that subject. Thank you for giving so much attention to this important and fascinating campaign, too often forgotten in the West.
Guys, trip advice. Mount Nidže and Kajmakčalan, on FYROM and Greece border, still has outlines of threnches, used shells all around the place, helmets pierced with bullets, remains of hand grenades, cartrtiges...And a shrine with serbian soliders remainings, with their sculls in it. Very interesting
Sounds very interesting.
Yeah, Polish architecture in Lwów is amazing. Its like Kraków of the east.
Very cool, keep up all this awesome content guys, one of the best TH-cam channels I have ever watched
one of the most interesting/educational channels :)
This must have been quite the experience for you guys.....getting close to the actual battlefields and meeting the locals and seeing the artifacts.....this must all give you a better perspective when you go back to the studio.....
+Jim Stanga Absolutely
yep that sounds awesome :D can't wait for more content :D
I think that this trip is a good indication of the widespread acceptance and respect this series has earned everywhere. I agree, that one of the chief reason must be the continuous effort the creators make to go beyond the various clashing propagandas, which still festers historical narratives and in its place present a synthetizing, neutral view instead. Kudos for everyone who committed themselves to work on this mammoth project.
Thanks.
you could say that Indy was ....going with the Flo
the bit about the gas shells and the cold was fascinating :)
yeah
Similar things happened on the western front from more lethal gases. During the winter the gases would settle coats and other clothing and then vaporize again when they entered a warm dugout or similar place.
Indy, you and Flo are starting to remind me of an old married couple, finishing each other's sentences:)
+kchall5 Imagine how it will be in two years
Watching this series in real time has given me a massive perspective on just how massive and important the eastern front was, especially in 1915-1916. In Australia our history is very biased towards Gallipoli and the Western front and we don't get that other perspective. But it's hard to understand Verdun and the Somme without also understanding the Brusilov Offensive and the Italian front.
[sneaks in a comment about Indy not being thin]
It was fantastic to meet up with you guys in Bolimów! I can't explain how happy my Polish soul is when I hear such praises about our food. :-) Glad you enjoyed your trip, and please, next time you make a stopover in Warsaw let me know, I'd be happy to be your guide for the amazing collection of WW1 artifacts that the Polish Army Museum has on display.
- Tony
+Firefly we definitely want to come back
I enjoy it when Flo is in the videos. Indy and Flo work well together.
Indy,you're really thin
+Bowerick Wowbagger can't someone just complement Indy?
Indy, you're really thin. #IndyIsThin

9:45 For those who did not know: Lviv is Lemberg
Outstanding Gentlemen. Really outstanding. For somebody from the Pacific Northwest who even if I knew what I wanted to see I couldn't get there. So luckily you guys can so I can see all these cool places on your videos. And you really get more of an idea about what a Titanic struggle it really was. Thanks for all your hard work!!!! One more thing. I've heard several comments about people being afraid that in the distant future that people wouldnt remember or be interested in ww1. In around 30 A.D.(yes 30A.D. hang with me I'm almost there) three Roman legions got ambushed by German "barbarians" and all three were destroyed almost to the last man. The Romans wrote about where it happened so in the first decade of the 21st they had a big archaeology investigation and found all kinds of evidence about a two thousand year old battle including the physical locations of these events. I wouldn't be surprised if people won't still be afraid of setting off a gas shell two thousand years in the future. It will be painfully obvious that a huge war took place in our generations. I think that future generations will know more than we do about how it really was during this war. Hopefully we learn our lesson. That's it.
9 AD but eh whatever, your point is still made.
+Hannah Zhang I stand corrected. Thank you.
+Randolph Guevara no problem.
I just noticed that Indy looks like Bob Odenkirk.
Better call Indy 👍🏻
I follow you weekly since may 2015. You're doing a fantastic work! Simple, fun: but at the same time you show very well the extreme complexity of history, the different points of view from which historiography is made and you never overlook the moral, existential dimensions of such a great tragedy. In my opinion, you're setting new higher standards to historical documentaries. Congratulations!
I know I'm late to the show and this won't be seen by the crew, but this is seriously one of the greatest shows to watch! Not only can you tell they all care about the subject matter, but they allow us to see some of the behind the scenes and into these personal moments while they are on site... it's just so cool to see! I didn't know much about the First World War before this series, and have become fascinated by the history I wasn't taught! Really well done historical series!
Wow, this really reignited my love for this channel. Keep it up y'all, more road trips!
Absolutely intending to have more of this.
As a recent subscriber and a pole from the galicja, this episode came unexpected, thanks for the kind words!
I HOPE that one day this project will have enough money to charter a cruise ship and redo the SMS Emden voyage. That'll be the greatest!
Us Aussies will be on the HMAS Sydney, we'll meet you near the Cocos Islands for ....drinks .... ;)
Fantastic series! I regularly get sucked into watching 2-3 hours at a time. What a great piece of work, guys!
Thanks!
"One horse Town" Your Texas is showing Indy. Hope y'all have a nice day (Greeting from Home (Houston)
I cant wait for your special episodes shoot at that museum and your videos at the fortress. I really love your channel.
You should definitely come visit the Ypres Salient in the future
I'd imagine Wipers is on their short list. This was because they talked about it so much during the early part of the war. Ypres has a lot of preserved history that would make for some incredible episodes though.
Haha windshield wipers. Probably should have those in working order when going to Ypres from what I hear.
oilersridersbluejays That's Belgium for you :)
+oilersridersbluejays
Mwah, when I visited Ypres two years ago the weather was fine. It got downright poory when I took a pitstop in Bastogne on the way home.
Looking forward to the episode. So awesome you had so many people met up with you guys,
Can't wait for the specials.
Being a dual national I often read the local German newspaper and American newspapers, I see a LOT of different slants on the way things are reported.
I can just imagine the different slants that were reported in the Great War. Look forward to the specials.
Thanks for the great channel!
Thanks for a great video! If you ever decide to visit St.Petersburg it would be my pleasure to tell you about the events of the October revolution 1917 and show you some of the sights in the city.
Have you been to the mass graves this year?
+Robert Benson, no, I haven't. Why are you asking?
Great! Cannot wait to watch all the specials!
I did something similar to this road trip. I flew into Brussels, rented a car and drove all along the Western Front for 10 days. So much fun
I very much appreciated this very informal discussion on your travels. It was well done, friendly and very natural. It is very pleasing to think of subscribers to the channel travelling to meet you. BTW my dad landed at Normandy following D Day. He was awarded five battle stars for the major campaigns of Central Europe. After driving through Bavaria his unit ended the war in a wheat field in Czechoslovakia one of the most eastern penetrations of the Allied armies. You can appreciate that I have a close affiliation with European battlefields. I have learned so much following your excellent excellent program. Bravo to the entire crew!
I assume the afternoon in Lemberg created a lot of material for next blooper episode, right?
Oh yes
I'm polish and proud to be polish, I went to Poland in 2010 but didn't see any world war 1 trenches
how are you polish but visited poland
Nationality is dictated by who are your parents, not where you live.
My grandparents where born over there and my parents where born here, it's super simple
+Michael S probably Polish American. Born in America but has Polish parents or grandparents
1st things 1st I'm not an Polish American
I love it! So happy to be supporting you!
LOL. cute that europeans think an 8 hour drive is so crazy long.
It's called perspective. In the UK, a 4 hour drive is way too long. At least for me, anyway.
People don't realize just how big America is. i.imgur.com/nCblGOl.jpg
Where I'm from in Canada a 4 hour drive is a "long" drive, but nothing crazy, while 8 would be something you'd settle in for (IE get a hotel room as opposed to trying to drive back). 16 would be the minimum before it becomes notable enough to mention the way you guys did!
+Teddy Boragina Europe is where 200km is a long distance, North America is where 200 years is a long time
what is the saying to an American 100 years is a long time and to a European 100 miles is a long distance.
Pozdravujem všetkých fanúšikov zo Slovenska / Greetings to all the fans from Slovakia
Greetings from Berlin.
oh god I'm so excited for the episodes!
Yay! I've been incrementally increasing my Patreon monthly pledge over the last year and a half because I really want to see you accomplish your goals! I may not make it to Europe, but if you're ever presenting at the WWI Museum in Kansas City, I will be there! Keep up the amazing work everyone!
Great to see such enthusiasm.
you guys have the coolest job in the world .
Totally agree with that assessment.
Happy birthday Julian!
That's cool you guys had a good fan meeting.
You finally convinced me to back you on Patreon! Keep up the great work. Very inspiring to see so many Europeans (and one transplanted American) working together on such an important project!
Impressed by how much you got done in just few days. Your producer planned the trip very smart!
so id say its safe to say indies just goin with the flo on the road? :D awesome guys. i cant wait to see the location episodes. im really stoked to see the relic show and SUPER STOKED to see the museum show!!!!!
FLO'S THE MAN, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK, I GET DEPRESSED WAITING FOR A NEW VIDEO
that shot of the road in Ukraine made me laugh, I've been traveling there and sometimes even roads between major cities are as bad as that! In one place between Lviv and Lutsk people abandoned the road altogether and were driving through fields because of how terrible the road surface was
Interesting as ever guys thanks keep up the good work 👍
Don't forget to check out the full episodes we made there.
Thanks guys. So much fun and information!
FUNFORMATION?
FUNFORMATION?
Great Roadtrip! I'm looking forward to all the specials you shooted there.
And now I'll buy some stuff from your shop😋
Keep up the Great work, it's getting better and better!
Thanks for your support.
I think you guys are awesome for doing this. Really appreciate the on-site stuff.
The Great War is going to the next level with this exciting visiting the actual location!
Awesome. Can't wait to watch the specials. Keep up the great work!
@ 5:00 interesting things to note about the Fort, design similarities with forts from the US Civil War and also British and Commonwealth pre WW1 forts, this fort also shows the change in construction materials between bricks and stone to concrete, but not reinforced concrete. Reinforced concrete would be shown during WW1 as being the only affordable construction material for use in fortifications apart from amour plate or cast armour, that could hope to withstand artillery bombardment. The use of many arches in the construction, and evidence from inside the entrance wall where damaged @ 5:02, indicates to me that concrete was used in mass pours but lacking in steel reinforcement bars or mesh.
I love the work you guys are doing keep it up love this channel so because it feeds me so information I would not have known about otherwise 😬👍
Wow, Indy even bothered putting on shoes and socks for the trip.
Sounds like a great trip. Looking forward to the episodes that came out of this trip.
Cant wait to see these episodes!!!
Sounds great. Thanks for the round up. Can't wait to see the special episodes.
How small is that vehicle? And OMG, Flo, stop staring at me!!!
Hey Indy, as someone who is half Polish myself, I've always wondered which nation had the most ethnically Polish soldiers since "Poland" during the war was split between Germany, Austria-Hungary and Russia. I am also planning a trip to Poland to visit my Grandmas hometown outside of Warsaw and everything I see about traveling through Poland it seems like the people are really nice. Was that your experience on your recent trip? Keep up the diet, I mean great work that you guys do
I will try to answer instead of Indy. It's difficult question but most of the privileges was for the Poles in Austro-Hungarian army. They had even formed legal "Związek Strzelecki" (Riflemen's Association) and "Polskie Drużyny Strzeleckie" (Polish Rifle Squads) which turned to "Pierwsza Kompania Kadrowa" (First Cadre Company) and then to bigger polish legions to fight against Russian Army under leadership of future leader of the Poland Józef Piłsudski. The most difficult situation was on the German Army where the Poles was under big germanisation (Kulturkampf).
Thanks for the info!
Did you surrender at 9:05 ?
*Hoetzendorf sends 5,000 naked men through field
;)
you get a present Hotzendorfs your new commander
+Indiana Neidell makes a good soup or salad.
Ukranian nettles don't take any prisoners.
I can't wait for the field trip specials. Keep up the good work.
Funny I have only just got home from a battle field tour but in Normandy
done that as well, i have to say the american military graveyard above omaha beach was one of the most awe inspiring things i have ever seen.
It is a very grand place... the American graveyard... but that feeling of awe is why I personally did not like it as much as the English graveyards... they are smaller but feels a lot more intimate...
While you where there did you visit Michael wittmann grave
For future episode I recommend visiting Kobarid, Slovenia (Caporetto), also there are several abandoned Italian bunkers that were used during WW1 and 2 on old border when Italians had under control part of Slovenia
It's so sad to me that I missed the visit. Unfortunately I started to watch the show too late.
Come to Poland this year maybe. We're celebrating 100 years of independence!
You are right,guys...Lyiv is such a great city...and think i know the restaurant you are inferring to..lucky guys,wish i was there...
Can't wait for the episodes! My family roots are from this area.
Wish I were with you guys...stop off in Rzedsninska & Dlugie, Sanok!
Great Job!!! you've worked out different perspectives on Ukrainian complicated history. Thumbs Up.
Ok now I'm really excited to see all these new on location episodes.
I can't wait for these episodes! Fantastic work guys i wanna travel to Europe one day and see the rich history it offers.
"the French threw the gas first though" gut gemacht Flo!
Sounds really good. Can't wait for all the special episodes.
Cool episode. Im really happy you guys got to see all this!
At 10:08, I see the old opera house in Lviv still looks exactly as it does in a photo I have taken in 1908.
Indy, Great Job to everyone exploring the Polish/Ukraine and the war in Poland and Galicia. We who focus on the Western Front are getting a real education about the war. Looking forward to the episodes. Though I have to say it hopefully Western or the Italian Front soon.
This was definitely not our last trip
Where I live in NH and in nearby ME there are coastal fortifications that go back to the WWI and WWII eras. It is fantastic to go through.
sounds like u guys had a fantastic journey...as a lover of different ethnic foods, I envy you in getting to taste the Polish & Ukrainian foods...I'm sure u gained invaluable knowledge/perspectives on WWI in your explorations...salud !!
That was awesome. glad you guys have so many details. it was like being there
happy birthday julian . thanx indy thanx flo
I knew this would be so good, I liked the video during the ad. Also #FloIsBetter
It is remarkable how some of these sites survived WWII. In reading some of the post Soviet history texts, a lot of areas were not heavily contested. Liviv was the center of a major tank battle in 1944, that along with the Battle of the Bulge a few weeks later, broke the back of the elite SS and Wermacht panzer armies.
You guys have the best job in the universe. Congratulations!
Cant wait for the Galicia special. My great grandfather was a POW captured by the russians there. Luckily he came home.
Unbelievably good sound quality for an in-car shoot! A mark of true professionals ^_^
We were really glad that this worked out well, too.
Hi Indy and team. Here a suggestion of location: Monument of Gentioux-Pigerolles (France). Its column has the inscription: "Maudite soit la guerre" ("Cursed be the war"). I am not a pacifist (in fact I hate pacifism's rethoric), but this is really interesting. Maybe some French viewers can give you more details.
Really looking forward to see these specials.
Thank you for an amazing job.
very groovy. thanks for keeping the info rolling
Happy Birthday, Julian!
I was actually planning to come see you with my uncle who lives in Poland but unfortunately I got sick and couldn't go... I hope I'll some day have a chance to meet you
Too bad!
99 cats! Lol!
Looking forward to all the episodes to come.... You guys are awesome, thanks for all your hard work 😺
Sounds like a fantastic trip, I can't wait to see the episodes you filmed on location. Glad to see that they have preserved the history of the Great War. Was also excited to see that they are investing in archeological research. Keep up the Awesome work.
Man, I'm so excited! I can't wait for those episodes to come out!
Cant wait to see some of the videos! I hope that 'post war' you might be able to get down here to Oz and take a tour through our War Memorial and film a special ;)
You never know. It's definitely something we want to do.
Love the informal video! (I did miss the vest of sarcasm, though.)
Very interesting. I like the details that TGW bring out. Most are completely unknown to me.
As for the disparity between versions of historical/war events, as a young teen I read histories of a particular battle of the Korean War as 2 friends of my father had been there. The Australian version noted the contribution: of U.S. planes and tanks; Indian Ambulances and Field Hospitals; New Zealand Artillery; Australian Planes and Infantry; and many other nationalities fighting for the United Nations. The British version centred on their efforts with some aid from Commonwealth Nations while the United States Military Forces were very lonely.
Can't wait to see all the footage you took at Przemysl!
