Wow. No wonder so many people died in WWI; their tactics were just plain suicidal! The very fact that Indy made it through unscathed is nothing short of a miracle.
I love it how this series takes you to all these countries, and there cultures. And how he meets all these famous people from back then. These series is a combination between history and adventure.
@@tvnetworks6610 But in that movie is German Empire but Russia is look like Nazi Germany because they invasion of Ukraine. But Nazi Russia not collapse.
Antonio Flint Hehehe actually I don´t. The game was not bad and had some moments, but for me it was not at the same level as Return to Castle Wolfenstein. That being said, I think the front cover of the game box is one of the best I have seen in a while.
von Lettow-Vorbeck, the German commander was not a racist. He respected his troops and treated them fairly. Infact he worked tirelessly after the war to make sure his Askaris got their pension, even though Germany was defeated. He was one of the best Guerilla commanders of all time, continuing the fight after the war had been concluded in Europe, and East Africa had been overrun with British and Portuguese troops. I think that would make a great film.
Vorbeck even killed the War Criminals in his Army Himself including the Oldest Combatant of a War, a 80ish or so old man who raped Natives, Vorbeck barely needed a Tribunal to turn his Luger on the Bastard. he Had that Dawg of Honor in him. He also Cussed out Hitler after he was Asked to be a British Embassy "F6%K off was putting it Politely" according to his Nephew in a Biography he wrote about his Uncle.
Lettow Vorbeck was a ctually decent, he appointed many black officers, and is credited as one of the few officers in the period to view them as equals.
He respected his Askari soldiers which is a good thing, but on the other hand he also did some awful things, such as kidnapping locals, ravaging villages for supplies, and forcing the kidnapped men into service as carriers for his guerrilla force. A good general maybe, not so much a decent man.
@Hellcatpilot: This battle is taking place around summer 1916, just before the fall of Tabora in German East Africa (today Tanzania). After this battle Indy and his men are being sent on a crazy mission to French Gabon and by the time they arrived there they found out that Tabora has already fallen. The Belgian colonial troops under General Tombeur captured Tabora on 19 September 1916 ..... I hope this answers your question. :-)
Why are the Germans always the bad guys? Paul von Lettow Vorbeck was a military genius and (as far as military occupancy goes) a really nice guy. His situation pitted him in a fight for survival against a numerically superior and highly skilled force. The British goals in Africa were expansionist... whereas the Germans' were survival. I would have cared more for a young Indy if he fought with the Germans here.
@@chadkingoffuckmountain970 that is actually racist but people like you would think it's ok just because of what they did in WW2, they were clearly not the bad guys in WW1 and were just trying to help their allies. In fact, i think the British were more of an asshole for partitioning German colonies and harsh punishments in the treaty of Versailles.
Do you know what the Germans did in Africa? They were just as expansionist as the British, and were far worse in their treatment of the Africans there. Look up the genocide of the Namba and Herero people.
@@GeneralKenobi75 Okay, for you 60,000 equals 10 million, there was almost no segregation in the German colonies for the time, they built schools and standardized the African language so that different tribes could communicate much more easily among each other, the belgians enslaved millions and used them as slave labor and chopped their hands of if they didn't obey their orders. Under their rule more than 10 million congolese died .
@@timemeddler7730 As did the Germans. Did you even look at what happened there? Yes, I'm sure the Herero and Namaqua peoples appreciated the schools while the German were taking their lands and killing their families. It was a systematic attempt at genocide. Doesn't matter how many died in comparison. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herero_and_Namaqua_genocide As for cutting of heads, look at the picture. The Germans took the heads of the Herero and Namaqua they killed and used them for medical experimentation. They practiced eugenics on the population there in an effort to prove the "superiority of the German race". Sound familiar? Pretty much the experiments and ideology the Nazis would later practice started there.
Thanks YoungIndy Fan for putting these clips on. I was and still am a great fan of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles and Sean Patrick Flanery. I remember watching these episodes each Friday evening in early 1990s and imagining I am travelling around the world with young Indy , he he he... Oh, good old times... They SURE don't make anymore such TV series these days.
@Hellcatpilot: Not necessarly. The battle for Tabora took place in mid-1916, when most askaris were still wearing their German uniforms. Only in 1917 with the capture of Tabora, Dodoma, Tanga, Bagomoyo, Dar-el-Salaam, Arusha and Usambara did the Germans finally loose the ability to domestically re-supply their troops and started to live off land and war booty. The German Zeppelin episode only occurred in late 1917, when Lettow-Vorbeck and his men were pushed south towards Mozambique.
@Hellcatpilot: I am not quite sure if I understand you, Hellcatpilot. What do you mean by "the German Schutztruppe shouldn't have their uniforms in 1916"? German Askari were wearing their uniforms throughout the war.
+Anh Quan Chu basicly is germany and belgium , belgium has shield with lion , german have a cricle with black withe and red (europeans) askaris are almost the same but for them yea the hat looks a little bit taller
@2210ethan That too, but most of the things he's done that didn't have to do with rescuing his friends and family or the museums interests was all about as he quoted "Fortune and glory."
Very interesing. There is a music track played during this battle that is heard in Lego Indiana Jones that I had not heard in the movies so I didn't know where it came from. It appears this is where. BTW, cool fighting scene. Coulda used some blood, but otherwise, nice and violent! I like it!
Oh yeah, it plays in the first level set in Egypt when you get attacked by German-aligned thugs. As soon as I heard it, my mind immediatly recalled back to that level in Lego Indiana jones lol.
i know what happens to a soldier if he tries to retread without permission. but i don't know what the charge is for doing the complete opposite without permission
@OnkelMickwald Yes, both have same uniform but different badge and uniform designs - In this clips you will notice that they are not British troops but Belgian colonial troops which probably comes from Belgian Conga.
Der Kommandant spricht sogar sehr gut Deutsch, echt gut gemacht. The Commander speaks fluent German, as far as I can tell from his 2 words. But reakky good. Makes it more intense to me (and yeah I am from Germany).
I still love how they manage to paint the Imperial Germans in such a bad light in the young Indy series, especially in Africa. I mean obviously colonialism has its basic faults and was a stain on the history of humanity, but compared to the so-called "good guys" in these films, the Brits and the Belgians, the Germans were like the peace corps. In German East Africa the German Asarkis were paid more than twice their British and Belgian counterparts wages, and actually given a pension.
Utter rubbish. The German imperial attitude was vicious compared to the British, notably their policy of extermination in German South West Africa (Namibia). They were the chief supporters of the Boers - Calvinist Christian bigots who fled the British Empire in South Africa in 1834 because it abolished slavery that year. They wanted to keep their slaves. So the Germans were the bad guys. They were not as bad as the Belgians, or rather the King of the Belgians and not as bad as many an Africa nation such as the highly imperialist and aggressive Zulus or the Mahdist Moslem fanatics of the Sudan.
golber1970 It is his best work being he only made 1 Star Wars movie prior to The Prequels.... he produced not directed the 5th and 6th Star Wars episodes.
Indiana looks to be leading some Belgian Congo Askaris, and they're fighting against the forces of the German East Africa Korps, presumably led by the legendary Colonel Paul Emil von Lettow Vorbeck.
@Nobodywantsme I know it's Already a bit long ago but I have to correct you: The three Belgian offencives from Antwerp in 1914 were pretty successful: the French and British won respectively the first Battle of the Marne and the first Battle of the Somme thus stopping the German advance, and later doing the same at the Yser. And the final offensive in 1918 into Belgium lead the Belgians all the way to the gates of Ghent. 5 offencives were succesful, and there weren't many, at most 10.
@OnkelMickwald They're similar, but not identical. Brits: High, tapered red Tarboush, often worn without badge. Puttees & ankle boots. Canvas webbing. Germans: short, untapered khaki Tarboush with unit badge. Black leather webbing. There was a lot of variation in the uniforms, but this is reasonably accurate. Only blooper I noticed was the German Askaris in jackboots - they should have black cloth puttees & ankle boots.
The german commander in east africa was paul van leetow worbeck.worbeck had learnt his tactics from the east africans who had tied down a far superior german colonial force for many years.during ww1 he led an african army against a largely british led indian army.worbeck was so succesful that when germany surrendered,the african troops wondered why they were surrendering after they had won.
@105km The Askaris in the German colonial troops were 100% loyal to Germany, had undergone the same training and received the same payment then their white comrades. Killing one of them was completely interchangeable with killing a German soldier.
@ImperialGuard9001 well. America didn't really participated militarily. but there were civilians who join up on both sides of the war. for an example. Indiana Jones joined the Belgian foreign legion
@ttobing1234 Those aren't Zulu's, it's like said, there are no Zulu's involved. Zulu's lived in the British colony of Natal, which is over a thousand miles from there. In the Belgian Congo there were other tribes, but since we don't know where these units were drafted it's impossible to say what ethnicity they are.
Firstly,what everyones missing is the fact that this is a tv show And Duke?These are Belgian Askari's:,not British,presumably from the Congo,I forget the details of the episode but Belgium did have a colony there AND the Prussian school of warfare didnt work in practice.The war of manovure failed,resulting in stagnant trench warfare.The Germans believed that a large conscript army could succeed while the British took the opposite view of a small professional army with marksmanship
OK, try to think above the 4th grade level here. It wasn't about RACE, it was about EMPIRE. Black soldiers fought with pride and valor on both sides of the conflict. Good film making! Never saw a made for TV war movie with that kind of grit and excitement.
You know, this is really unrealistic and unrepresentative. Paul Emil von Lettow-Vorbeck (German commanding officer in German East Africa) did not lose a single engagement in the entire war. Even while outnumbered 10 to 1. The British were slow and clumsy when compared to the well trained Askari. They were trained in the Prussian school of warfare for God sakes. British natives, however, rarely received training at this point in the war.
Could it bee that the german-african soldiers are muc darker skinned than the french or british ones? 0:57 fir example is complete black, 0:19 is ratrher brown.
@ttobing1234 I was making clear to you that I knew about whom he was talking. When you said 'I think he's talking about (...) [t]he guys carrying the shields and spears' that can only mean that you think that a) I'm wrong when I say those aren't Zulus b) you think I'm talking about the uniformed soldiers and c) that those natives are Zulus. PS: at that time, people would refer to the colonials the simple way: with the name of the colonisator.
@105km well back then most of the african continent was controlled by the british empire. The only reason Indy is fighting is because he was and still is a mercenary.
I don't get why they took the blood and gore that defined WWI out of this scene. And how indy survived a direct bullet to the chest. Pathetically sanitized for the kiddies, perhaps?
only on the Western Front of Europe was trench warfare widely used. Even on the Eastern front it was much more mobile. In Africa, the landscape and lack of manpower and large weapons (machine guns, cannons) lead to much more mobile hit and run tactics... was too the Boers used in the Boer War of the Transval and Orange Free State just a few years before.
@lmanor4 Well, the black German soldiers have an almost perfectly cylindric fez-like hat. Whereas the British black soldiers have a hat more cone-shaped.
So after all this, Indy returns home to Princeton, where his father, who doesn't give a damn about Indy's disappearence, but doesn't think to metion anything about this to anyone?????
This show must have had a pretty big budget. The battle scenes look pretty impressive for television.
Wow. No wonder so many people died in WWI; their tactics were just plain suicidal! The very fact that Indy made it through unscathed is nothing short of a miracle.
Well the tactics they had was pretty much the best they could do with the technology and doctrine of the time.
