When an American officer asked a French officer about the French's preference for horses reciting the advantages of the truck (such as in this video), the French officer replied: "ah, monsieur, mais les champignons!" (horse manure makes excellent material for growing mushrooms).
Ironically enough, though, the French were the other pioneers in military motoring - remember the Taxicabs of the Marne? Their Renault and Latil trucks were highly regarded and they were the only nation besides the US to develop a practical four-wheel drive vehicles. They also invented the halftrack, though that came postwar.
Very true - The Latils proved to be vital to the French Army as artillery tractors, moving heavy guns along the front as needed. It's one of the things that made the separated short offensives that the Allies used in the Summer of 1918 to take place. They could shift guns, men, and supplies faster than the Germans could react.
This channel is in desperate need of 85.428 subscribers, the end of the war will be disappointing without it !!!
We new recruit campaigns. Conscription could also be a choice
Victor Yau or we can use coercive means instead of going with the forceful conscription
Poster campaign? - Kitchener's finger gets pulled out . . . again.
Some giddy youngsters will sign up, no doubt! and.. and we can double sell (enemy) territories to get more folks on board!
Now, what do we dub the effort, Gents? The Great Subscriber Offensive? Operation Subscribe? Subscription Conscription?
THIS TIME we'll really be home by Christmas, chaps.

And-Hi Flo!
Are you guys ready for the who did what in ww1 on Alvin C. York!!! The Great War said they were going to do him almost two years ago when I commented on their Francis Pegahmagabow video.
The Great War
2 years ago
"He will get his episodes, yes."
Its almost October 8th 1918 (2018) and I can't wait!!
I'm a teacher and I show the who did what videos to my 9th graders when we get to the ww1 unit. I can't wait to see their faces when the see someone from their home state of Tennessee up their with Churchill, Richthofen, and Rasputin. Thanks from Tennessee!!!
Advantages of horses over trucks:
1. Horses have cool names like ‘Duke Salvador’ and Flying Father’
2. Horses participated in every crusade, trucks haven’t been in any crusades
3. Horses eat healthy foods like apples and oats , trucks, as far as I’m aware, don’t eat healthy at all
4. Horses haven’t contributed to global warming, unlike those stinking trucks
Horses are also quieter as you get close to the front. In military history the biggest advantage of horses is that you can eat them when you have to.
Pretty sure horse dung emmits methane, which is an important greenhouse gas.
I was thinking this as well, but the real problem is from cows, which have a completely different digestive system. I don't think horses are nearly as significant a problem.
Don’t trust the horse. Given the chance, they’ll kill you and everything you love.
5. You can eat a horse.
Thank you very very much Indy Neidell, love from Beyrouth !
Love from Germany
Your name means "winner," right? Well, even if not, you sound like one. =)
Thanks, it's very kind of you Rahell Omer !
You cannot " cannibalize " a horse, but you can eat it !
You can if you're a horse...
I mean, one supposes you could "cannibalize" a horse in the mechanical sense, like cannibalizing a car, by tanning its hide for saddles and riding boots or something.
Jonathan, or if you take a leg for a transplant................... LOL
In the UK some WW1 trucks were put in longterm storage and were overhauled for ready second line use on the home front in 1938-39. My grandfathers garage business overhauled several War Department pattern Albion lorries . However as far I know none these trucks saw any service in the later conflict.
Four more years!
What about six?
The truck story is very interesting too because... I knew nothing about this great metal elephant that I often see on daily basis !
It's nice to hear tales of humanity once in a while
Indeed Tomais, now here's another one especially for you from the Palestine front. A 100 years ago, on the 29th of September 1918, the small remnants of the 4th, 7th and 8th Ottoman Army, a 6000 men strong force, reached the outskirts of Damascus. They were bombed by 5 aircrafts of the ANZAC. On the 30th of September, near the village of Kiswe about 30 Km south of Damascus, 1 aircraft saw the last of this unhappy retreat. About 4000 infantry and cavalry were scattered along the north bank of the Zabirani river, under the hill of Jebel Aswad. The pilot dived at them, but the Turks remained sitting resignedly on the ground, too exhausted to move. They had run to a finish. The Australians [the pilot and the observer], in pity, abstained from firing on them. This is mercy to the enemy.
The Palestine Front has been a long forgotten campaign of a long forgotten war. It's great to see their deeds, and losses, remembered.
As a Lebanese can you ask Rabih to give you sources about the famine that happened in Mount Lebanon ?
I heard that café Liégeois was first called café Viennois, but as Liège was resisting so well and keeping the Germans from reaching Paris, the French changed the name to café Liégeois out of gratitude.
Palestine front is very interesting
Thank you
I've read 3 or 4 books on the Palestine front, for Australian history it is unknown in knowledge compared to the little they know about the western front. The most people know is 'the lighthorse charge' and not the crazy camel charges at romani/rafa and the stuff that went on in the Sinai (slogging across the desert, hunting and fighting for wells), then the progress up from gaza to damascus and thee interaction with the Arabs and TE Lawrence. Lawrence was supposed to 'capture damascus', and the ANZACs were told to wait for him to enter first, but he turned up late and the ANZACs took Damascus instead.
Brett Paterson I might be wrong but I heard the Palestinian front was similarly the western front
For Out of the Trenches: I was curious about concrete ships in WW1. I had heard many were built in US shipyards due to steel shortages and wondering if you guys knew much about them. I know there was one wrecked in Narragansett Bay in the early '20's.
One is also a shipwreck next to the Houston Ship Channel near Galveston, TX... The USS Selma... You can see it from the Bolivar Ferry and on Google Earth... Plus there is a Wikipedia page about it.
Later! OL J R
Out of the phosgene
@@thotslayer9914 "kojima" hmmmm wonder
Started working on the doctrine for a mobile army, the trucks were not only important but without them that war would have dragged on longer, with them you could bring real force to the fight and most important keep the army supplied. The only downside is you need to that the industrial capacity to make them, the United States had that in Spades and the oil to fuel them again the United States at the time had the oil in spades. These vehicles were a relatively new thing when the First War came about.
Advantages for horses :; you cannot eat your trucks when you're low on food
Thank you. Touched by your ending. Wishing you all the best.
Oh for sure, shipping horses overseas must have been a sheer nightmare. They do NOT like being on boats, they spook and can’t be calmed down. Its insane.
that war was insane
julemanden uden gaver not really
I can imagine that trucks also handled extreme weather like the cold and heat better than horses too
Kitana Kojima
130,000 horses were transported from Australia. 10,000 from New Zealand.
NZ had a 3% death rate during shipping, 300. Probably a similar rate from Australia, 3,900
Only one horse returned to Australia. Quarantine regulations prevented the repatriation of horses. Many were sent to the British Army in India, sold to farmers in France or sold for slaughter. Many soldiers shot their horses rather than selling or giving them to the locals in the Middle East.
War is insane. period.
I really like how easily digestible this channel is. Casual WW1 is a rare thing!
Its great to hear about the battles near my city, Greetings from Damascus
Very great episode once again! It's very interesting that they had 4WD trucks back then, I didn't expect that
Almost 1 Million congrats!!!
Yet another cracking episode. So how about a show about dispatch riders a the bikes they used? Keep um coming Indy!!...........
I love youre videos. You got me into WW1 Please make more.
I am watching it 20 m away from where the Great War is shot... :-)
nice ;)
Where is it shoot ?
Berlin...I saw Flo going to work by bike from my balcony :D
I'm watching this on the Palestine Front.
Harley or Kettenkrad?
It's too early for the Kettenkrad, it's only 1918
4) Fuel for trucks...
A bag of chaff doesn't explode when hit by enemy fire ;-)
Smooth transition there at the end, Indy :)
5:36 Ahh, then we should have *flown* the horses from overseas! Brilliant!
Now the question is, do we use our primitive airplanes, or do we breed horses with wings and make them fly themselves?
This channel deserves more subs
it does
It feels so strange hearing Indy say the exact same words I read earlier myself in that comment. It made me realize how much the video production can add, being able to see illustrations and having a professional speaker talking. Very interesting information about the trucks indeed.
WOW WWI was great, can't wait for the sequel!
Hey Indy, great show! I've been a fan for a while and was wondering if you already have or if you could do an episode on musicians in the great war. I know buglers were still in service in many of the armies at the time and most armies had military bands.
Thanks,
Andrew
Happy (1)914k subscribers!
My motor pool sgt in the Army said that there are still trucks running around from ww1 in the Army. Each part just gets repaired or replaced as it breaks down.
Almost true - After the Great War, the U.S. Army consolidated its 3-ton class truck to 2 types - the FWD, and the Liberty (A 2 wheel drive 3-tonner). With a bit of modernization - most notably switching to pneumatic tires when they became practical, they stayed in service into the 1930s.
In Britain, There was an FWD subsidiary formed after the War - It was taken over by AEC, and the design morphed into the AEC Matador used by the British Army into the 1960s.
My great great uncel died in ww1 1916 but i don´t know where and the death date only his death year (1916) and that he was around 22 years old
:(
must search and inquire at digital wargraves websites.
Any participating nation has it.
Google it.
@@oddballsok I will do it but when I have more time
I found an old family tree a few months ago as I looked tree it it I saw the name of a young man who died in 1916.
I speculate that he died at Verdun or at the some but he could have been at the eastern front.
I am German btw
And sorry for my terrible English
PS. In the family tree I also found ppl who could have fought in ww1 there where the right age at the time
martial arts,music and history do some more research u will fimd it out
People (myself included) routinely forget how maintenance intensive and fragile horses are. Great reminder, especially when thinking of the early war and the numbers of horses that were used because the trucks on hand were unavailable.
The end LOL
I was going to say its not FWD but FBW. But I didnt know that indeed it is FWD, The Four Wheel Drive Co, which should not be confused with FBW from Zurich (named after the Croatian's Initial, and the small town outside of Zurich.). The truck museum did have the latter though, FBW (Franz Br...something slavic, and W...some Swiss hamlet lol). The would later focus heavily on earth movers and trolleybuses, and merged with Saurer, who made the same thing, and created NAW, which also merged with Hess and ABB, another two bus/trolleybus makers in Switzerland. As a note of interest, they still exist and produce the longest trolleybus made, a double articulated vehicle.
You should a human history season where you cover every year of human history and cover all the wars that happened that year. This would prob be a year long show with weekly long episodes but it would be awesome
How many leaders on the Western Front could trace their heritage to the events of a century before the Great War? You know, back in the days of the Iron Duke and Marshall Ney? Same places, but different war.
Bother kaisers and the czar had ancestors who fought Bonaparte, as did most of their respective nobility/officer classes.
Winston Churchill was descended from the 1st Duke of Marlborough, who fought in northern France, the Netherlands and the Rhine two centuries before WW1.
First like hopefully love this channel!
As an Australian I never knew all this so this is really infformative
please to talk about the first soviet cavalry army who lead by budoony
Nice
i remember reading peter stickney's comment
7:57 WILSON!!!!!
Whoever sharpened that blade on the table needs slapped and told to try again .
Frank Luke jr died 100 years ago 2 days ago! Would love to see that!
Ohh new thing
9:25 for the Panic Of Indy Neidell.
Question due to the trucks: What did nations do once the war ended with all of the equipment they had mobilized and remaining. I am referring to the trucks, tanks, planes, ships, artillery guns, etc... Did some nations vary from others? Did they sell it? Keep it? Destroy/decommission it? What was the time frame for this to happen?
In the case of the United States, pretty much everything that was shipped to Europe stayed there, either disposed of into civilian hands or scrapped. That still left a huge supply of equipment in the U.S. - Industrial production was ramping up after the Declaration of War in 1917, and hit full stride in mid 1918, preparing for the expected massive 1919 offensives.
Vehicles and aircraft that were deemed surplus to requirements - After the War, the U.S. Army quickly downsized to a token force, smaller than the German Army allowed by the Versailles Treaty. Trucks were sold off, or presented to the Highway/Public Works organizations of the various State Governments, and they were instrumental in the construction of improved roads in the U.S.
This did have an effect on the U.S. automotive manufacturing industry. At the beginning of the U.S. involvement in the War, there were trucks manufactured in all 48 States, by about 350 manufacturers. By 1925, the number of manufacturers was down to about 20. -
Hey indy are we ever going to have an episode for colonial forces and American forces uniforms?
The poor old Turks. You can really see the wheels coming off by this time in 1918.
nopes, they kept fighting even years after WW1 and restored most of their borders, unlike Austria, Hungary and Germany.
When is the video of the second battle of cambi 1918 coming??
Your amazon shop link is not working please check and solve it if possible as i want to read more about the war.
That outro though xD
Out of ether is starting fluid in us for diesel engines lol
5:52 but you cant eat a truck if you run out of rations and more are not forthcoming.
an army may march on its stomach, but it drives on its posterior.
You have horses! What were you thinking!
8:04 That truck must've been really broken if they asked the President to help fix it!
Just came back from a little shopping in your store 😉
On the advantages of using trucks (or tanks or helicopters for that matter) in war instead of horses:
6) You leave the poor horses alone.
Other advantages not mentioned include:
You don't have to tie a truck to keep it from wandering off.
You don't have to worry about your truck spooking or bolting
Trucks don't panic and trample your infantry
A truck can withstand minor bullet or shrapnel damage, horses not so much.
It's a lot easier to teach someone to drive than to ride. Four types of equestrianism are Olympic sports for a reason.
didn't thought there were so many trucks in war
It was a time of transition, both in the military and in the civilian world. Trucks simplified logistics, were more capable, and more supportable. You can build many trucks in a day -
A Horse's gestation period is about a year, you can start training them when they're 2 or 3, and they're able to work af about age 4 or 5.
So - it would appear that all the horses used in the Great War were born before the war.
In the truck video from the Tank Museum at Bovington, some mention was made of government subsidies and purchase assistance to civilian firms in Britain and Germany to buy trucks, with the proviso that they could be recalled in case of War. This recall did take place in 1914, and, while it provided a boost to mobility for the armies, it caused problems with industrial production.
One benefit that often gets overlooked is public health. Although trucks do pollute, they're not producing vast quantities (If you've never had to muck out a stable, you don't know how vast) of manure, which is a rich feeding ground for disease - it's not a coincidence that Typhoid and Cholera outbreaks is cities petered out and faded away as trucks were introduced.
British WW1 military deaths in Palestine/Israel (until 31 Dec 1918): 12,521. Of which 10,677 soldiers from Britain (and Ireland), 777 from Australia, 656 from India, 245 from New Zealand, 80 from South Africa etc.... 12,271 of deaths during 1917-18 period (8,403 in 1917 and 3,868 in 1918) .
Can you speak about some other influential people from other country like the general Emanuel mondragon of mexico

I remember you. You comented on every great war video

Were there any tow trucks or vehicles with winches that could recover a vehicle that was stuck in the mud?
Where can I send you pictures an documents for a great war special?
Out of the phosgene and into the fire
Got here in 36 seconds.
The advantages of horses is that it didn't divert much industrial production to maintain them, unlike a truck that needs all those parts, lubricants and fuels. Even if they were inefficient, horses could live off the land and provide meat in a pinch.
It takes less than a day to build a truck. It takes 5 years to make a draft horse, from initial conception to useful work.
A "civilized" horse can't live off the land for long - they have dietary requirements that are more severe than people, and producing fodder uses up agricultural land and effort that could be feeding people. (And most of your farmers and farmhands are now in the Army)
@Peter Stickney Countries like France weren't hurting for food. However, much of their steel production and iron/coal resources were occupied by the Germans during the opening weeks of the war. This is why it couldn't hurt to have both horses and trucks, so as to not stress the limited industry that remained on the French side of the lines. And those horses were already there to begin with.
France lucked out - its most fertile regions weren't touched by the war, and the farming is relatively easy. Britain, of course, lost no farmland, but was not self-sufficient in food production, and relied on imports from overseas - mostly North America.
German farmland isn't as productive, and the large German draft callups meant that most of their farm labor was off in France or Russia, and not working the fields.
(I'm not sure, but I think that the diversion of German Nitrate production to making explosives and propellant caused a sever cut in, or even halt of, fertilizer production, which was desparately needed - don't forget that one of he causes of the large German migration to the U.S. and Canada in the 19th Century was peasants escaping famine.)
I have to back up my brother here. I have his experience with WWI trucks plus a backyard full of horses.
People would be less likely to blithely assert that horses can "Live off the land" if they had to pay my hay and grain bills. Yes, SOME horses (mustangs, arabs, wailers, mongolian steppe ponies) can live off the land. Western cavalry and cart horses cannot, and living off the land requires time to graze and nutritious grass, neither of which are often available in military situations. I maintain an acre of grass pasture for each of my horses and I still have to put up 100 bales of hay per horse along with the one to four pounds of grain each one gets each day. And those are just saddle horses used for pleasure riding. I have to feed hay in the winter because the grass, while edible, contains very little nutrition outside of the growing season. Still, that's one acre, for each horse: Now multiply that times a million horses.
Pre-mechanized armies had to keep moving to prevent their horses from starving. With the static warfare on the western front that wasn't possible, all of the accessible pasture would be completely denuded remarkably quickly, and there are limits to how far afield you can send your horses to graze. Horses cannot be worked every day, they need time off to rest and recover. Modern carriage horses in my town get every other week off. Finally, each truck didn't replace one horse, they replaced entire horse teams. One well-known US magazine ad from 1913 tells about about a lumber company using one GMC truck to replace 11 two horse teams. Horses also have huge manpower requirements compared to motor vehicles - vets, farriers, grooms, stablement, trainers, farmers, you name it.
Once you have an industrial economy going trucks present unescapable economies of scale. As a matter of fact one of the first and most important uses of trucks on the Western Front was hauling fodder for the horses, because horse drawn wagons could barely keep up with the need.
Horses need doctors? I thought they needed vets 😆
Dr Pol for president!
If you can't fix it with a hammer, it needs a Doctor - yes, even a Horse Doctor. :)
Man... that's a F end for a F video! \o/
@5:29 does the comment in regards to casualty rate for horses take into account that the horses should have been quarantined when they reached overseas?
Wow i am very early
When will have The Kingdom of Siam in WW1?
Interesting point the GW was the end of the era of the 🏇 horse
Not quite - During the Second World War, only Great Britain and the United States were fully motorized. The vast majority of the German, French, italian, and Soviet forces marched on foot, with their supplies and artillery hauled by draft animals.
I face to ask, here there sharpshooters to take out machine guns to make is safer for solders to charge?
Jarod Farrant a man can replace operation of a machine gun when first man gets wounded or killed
ONE-HUNDRED TWENTY-SIXTH!!!!!!!!!
Question can someone explain to me how out of the either works? I’d like to talk about a topic not many people I think know about
they pick an interessting topic someone in the comments brought up and read the comment in one of their out of the ether episodes, easy as that.
If you want to get your topic into one of their episodes, just post it under one of their new videos
How about the 1915 attack of the dead men on the russian front
:) it was already mentioned a few times in a few episodes,
by now .... Russia was already out of this war, they had their own ''rabid'' civill war
t.e Laurence did bomb supply trains and passenger trains .
I wish to share just a brief comment with those of you watching this and reading the comments, and perhaps even the Great War's fantastic team, whose work I really appreciate and have come to look forward to the regular and special episodes, you're all doing such a splendid job.
"After the Conference, we were all taken on the Cinema! Gen. Plumer, whom I told to 'go off and be cinema'ed' went off most obediently and stood before the camera, trying to look his best, while Byng, & others near him were chaffing the old man and trying to make him laugh." - 11th November 1918.
This is an extract from the personal diary of Sir Douglas Haig, a man I am sure many regard with much animosity for whatever reason. However I think this one particular line is significant, as it reveals a man and his peers to be exactly that, men, who looked for joy, wanted to smile and play a joke, show some emotion even during the most trying of times, and that it shows that the Generals and staff Officers, were not faceless robots intent on the destruction of a generation, but that they were just men, doing their best with the tools and training and men that they possessed in the most trying of circumstances, and this sentence in particular I believe highlights that in war, from the lowliest private to the highest general, each man is just another man and gives a personal edge to someone who has become a byword for incompetence, however unfairly that mud may stick.
Did any one member of any military get a speeding ticket durung WW1?
Eddie Rickenbacker, perhaps, who, before flight school, had been the top racing driver in the U.S., and was Gen. Pershing's driver.
Can you breed trucks?
No, but you can build them a lot faster than you can breed horses, which take at least 4 years from conception to a useful state of growth and training, 6 or more years for the larger breeds.
Did you know the Ottoman Empire wasn’t an empire but a khalifat
These "trucks" may sound appealing, but can you ride a truck through the giant gap in the front lines that our lads are sure to open? I didn't think so! -Haig

what about mustafa kemal pasha at palestanian front?
in turkey palestanian front is skipped away at history lessons...
it is more about we lose at this front very badly..not about mustafa kemal...
but mustafa kemal is criticized about palestanian front ...
his haters say he retreated by his own decide... he commanded 7th army group. between 4th army group and 8th army group ..and so his retreal made a gap ... and so brits seized other two arny group ...
it is an opportunity for attacking mustafa kemal...due to lack of knowledge about palestanian front in turkish literal history ... many people did not know this front.. and they believe what they say...
It is also argued that by retreating, he saved thousands from a certain death.
His army disintegrated around him, nothing he could do but retreat. He no longer had the advantage of the terrain and the allies owned the air and had far greater mobility and by now - far better soldiers, tactics and technology.
but you can eat a horse haha
That's why the soldiers in Premysl did. (And maybe why did did hold out so long.)
There were no german soldiers in Palestine front thats wrong
Hehehe Türk buldum kanalda :D
During WW1 there was no such place as Palestine! The name was given to areas of the Ottoman Empire named the Sanjat of Jerusalem and the Sanjat of Tripoli.
Then why did they call it the Palestine campaign? Why did the Balfour Declaration mention Palestine?
Palestine was not a political entity but it was a place.
There are plenty of sources to back up the existence of Palestine. I'm sorry that you were taught differently and it's not your fault.
