      Yellow fever was mostly active during the late 1700s not 1916-1918, check your facts, Also the Spanish flu (aka swine flu) was a serious epidemic in 1918- this day (obviously very rarely) and one of the first victims was (sadly) the British prime minister and war leader David Lloyd George.

    my great grandpa fought in WWI on the german side. he said, often the two enemy sides became befriended after such a long time in those trenches.
    they began to trade, play cards together during cease-fire and when they had to fight again, one side would shoot, while the other side waits and the other way around :-)

    Sometimes I wonder why it took so long to make the M50. Everything made before it was unbearably uncomfortable, foggy, hard to shoot in, and hard to breathe during intense cardio. The M50 has 1-2 canisters, depending on if you’re shooting or working. It has deflectors in all the right places that keep the visor fog free, and it doesn’t freeze your eyeballs in the cold. You can also swap canisters in a contaminated environment.

    3:12 i heard in WW1 American soldiers were on the front lines for only about 3 weeks, and then sent to backlines to be replaced by other soldiers, so they get less "worn out" by all the stress
    and it's the german soldiers who stayed at the front for extended periods of time. one plus of that was since german soldiers stayed in one place longer, they better protected the trenches from mud and water, so they were a bit more comfortable than allied soldier's trenches

    During the Gallipoli campaign the smell was so bad from the rotting corpses sitting in the sun/heat and feces everywhere due to lack of latrines or access to them due to Turkish snipers, that many British soldiers kept their gas masks on just to hide from the smell. They also begged for large amounts of cigars and cigarettes to cover the smell as well.

    5:35 The WW1 machine gun is probably where the phrase "the whole 9 yards" comes from; the standard cloth belts that fed them held 250 rounds, and would be about 27 feet long. Thus, to dump all of your ammunition on something, to hit it with everything possible, is to give it "the whole 9 yards".

    6:30 "You can't run from a machinegun"
    Peeling maneuvers, break contact battle drills, and bounding overwatch (small unit tactics where one or a few dudes shoot while their buddies run back so as to cover their buddies, before their buddies who were running back stop, turn around, and then start shooting to cover their friends who were covering them, as their friends who were covering them pop back up, then run back before doing the same; turning around and covering as their buddy, or buddies run back) didn't exist back in WW1, but now that they do in the modern era: you can retreat, and even run from a machinegun: you just need a friend covering your back as you run, and then you have to turn around and cover your friend until your friend turns around too.
