These early tanks always have a creepy aesthetic to them compared to modern tanks. I think it’s their crude construction and the context that there was literally no other machine like them, even aircraft were over 10 years old by then so it creates something quite alien in nature.
This video was made before I started studying history at University and uses poor methodology. Much of it heavily references Wikipedia and maybe a TH-cam video, but I don't remember anymore. This video is not a reliable source of historical information.
Three tanks actually made it through one of them happen to be called Dracula anyway they were the last of the three the last of the 32 tanks to go in anyway they were the three last ones and they backed out fortunately made it but they went into the village and clean house and back out anyway
Imagine carrying all that shit on you when your only goal is to move fast and kill every living thing opposing you. No wonder so many people died. I heard some even drowned in mud pits during battles at Pashendale.

unbelievable that you could hear the fighting at the somme in london. It must’ve been unbearably loud on the battlefield.
I was also taken aback at that detail.
Imagine being hammered by artillery for several hours... well done documentary.
Thanks a lot!

Nice choice of music

Glad you said that. The first day of the Somme was warm and dry, it only got muddy later in the battle, which ended in November 1916
Very concise and informative. I'm enjoying your history pieces
Glad to hear you're enjoying the content!
WOW!! An English voice on youtube for a change!!
5:29 I can't believe they named it "Little Willie"
Great editing and voiceover🔥🔥🔥
so well written that i could ignore the audio quality!
Thanks!
“Idk sir, the name of the project is “little willie””
“Say no more. Let us focus our intelligence resources elsewhere.”
I always wondered how these type of tanks came into be. Learned a lot. Good video..
Glad you enjoyed it!
I hope you are continuing to make documentaries, you have a knack and I like your narratives.
Keep it up!
У Русского инженера Лисякова тоже был проект ромбовидной гусеничной боевой бронированной машины - прообраза танка.
Интересно, я этого не знал.
30kg of gear is a crazy amount for storming a trench they would of been better off going in dressed like Ned Kelly I would of liked to see that.
I’m pretty sure my great grandpa was in the Somme he survived I’m pretty sure.

Ship designers and builders must have had there say in the land ship reality
idk if anyones here from social studies but hey
Lions lead by donkeys. Haig was a buffoon

Tell me again in feet and inches .... as we are talking about British tanks.
As a Brit myself, no.
