Question when are we going to see the metal detecting video with the scary find Nick because it’s has be 5 to 3 years since you told us about it and can we see more WWI videos
My great grandfather was a Hungarian soldier in the Austro-Hungarian army. Born in 1873, Imre Csibertics completed the required military service as a one-year volunteer around 1905. at the 17th Army Infantry Regiment in Székesfehérvár. He then became a reserve lieutenant, but was retired "after performing his duties, without retaining his rank, at his own request." He was reactivated in the war as a uprising lieutenant, and from February 1915 he was a lieutenant at the 21st Infantry Regiment in Cluj. In May 1918 he was promoted to an uprising captain. He received the Bronze Military Medal of Merit in July, when the 13 / III. he was subordinated to an uprising battalion.
When I was a kid in the 1960s my mother was an antique dealer. We used to go to this place where she bought stuff for resale. It was a gigantic warehouse type building that was crammed full of almost anything you could imagine: plates, furniture, books, etc. The owner would travel to Europe and buy large crates of stuff. I used to walk around while my mother was shopping. In the far corner of the place was where the unusual stuff was that most people had no interest in. I recall finding a large crate, maybe 10 feet long and 5 feet high just full of helmets. I distinctly remember a huge (to me) WW1 German stahlhelm in there that I wanted but my mother wouldn't buy it. If only she had!
My moms side is related to a WW1 veteran. He was in the 151st infantry and lived through the whole war and survived. You did an awesome representation my friend.🤙
19:26 Actually the amount of head wounds increased, this perplexed the top brass until it was quickly understood that the reason the head injuries were increasing was because previously fatal wounds were being reduced to survivable injuries. It's very similar to the case of WW2 Aeroplanes being up armoured on the places where returning planes had less damage, as it was clear that the reason they were returning was because they were not damaged on the vulnerable areas. Just something interesting to point out.
My great grandad was a vickers gunner at the Somme, he was gassed and blown up but still survived, very proud of him, rest up all the fallen soldiers ✝️
Talking about the piping on the uniforms. It’s really interesting how it changes throughout the years during the previous wars before WW1. I do Civil War reenacting and Red Represents Artillery, Blue For Infantry, Yellow for Cavalry, Black for Militia and Infantry. And I have a Blue Hat cord for my English Import Slouch hat to represent infantry
@@BobGeanis I believe was around the 1880s yes. Because it seems like in almost all the wars in the 1870s-1890s only minor things were changed in the US Army uniforms. Like the blue tunics and brown trousers of the 1890s and the famous yellow handkerchiefs of the cavalry especially during the Span-Am War
Hey Nick, you don’t know how much you have changed my life. When I saw one of your videos back in 2018, it sparked something in me. It sparked a passion for WW2. Ever since 2018 I have been collecting military items and Im now a junior partner at a business that sells WW2 items. Im currently getting ready to board a plane to fly to France for the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings. Thank you so much for all that you do. I love your videos so much. Sincerely, Philip (Your number 1 fan)
Do you know it’s a great thing to upload a video every for five months😂😂 and that particular video deserves 100 million subscribers because it’s so good❤❤
History Secrets, secretly dropped this video and surprised me. I like these old uniforms, have my grandpa's wwll uniform, and the wool it is made from feels like it would be scratchy and hot. Thanks for taking one for the team and getting all kitted out for us, know you were burning up, especially with the wool wrap around your legs. I hope now that the weather is nice, you will put out more video's. You do such a good job editing everything together. I like watching you restore everything, you make everything look correct, . I hope you get an old wwll vehicle to restore, it would be great with the collection of other stuff you have. The jeeps are actually not that expensive to restore if you get one with a good frame, and decent body. They sell parts that are NOS in the UK, and the US, plus almost any new part you might need. I'm restoring a 54 m38a1 that was never road titled, so it is pretty solid, and the 24 volt wiring and fording parts are still intact. I have to sand it down, because the guy who bought it from the governot auction painted the exterior a dark burgundy. Thankfully the original olive drab inside and under the hood wasn't painted. They left thousands everywhere they fought, and they are very simple to work on, would be great to see you get one to restore for the channel. Thanks for the video, G-d bless.
Wow! Great video i love your ww1 impression. And I also loved the ' I have an idear, lets leave ' ending but nice to see another video from the western front. GREETINGS from Denmark
My great-great-grandfather (grandfathers grandfather) was an American surgeon who served on the western front with the artillery divisions, he wouldn’t usually visit the front line trenches but he would sometimes have to venture out there to pick up wounded or dead
Hey Nick, just wanted to say I have been a subscriber for around two years now and I always watch your videos and they always make my day, I have a similar Wehrmacht uniform to you and I wish you the best of luck. Liebe aus der U.K.
I'm polish. My family mostly comes from the areas near and around Kraków, which was part of Austro-Hungary at the time of the 1st World War. My great grandfather served in the A-H army and joined the war around 1917 if I remember correctly. He survived the war and lived a long life afterwards.
Wonderful video! Hopefully when the weather is colder, you can show us the overcoat as well. One more thing to add, will you also include the halsbinde neck band with this impression?
Mooi collectie man ik dacht altijd dat jij meer van de tweede wereldoorlog was recpect jonge eerste wereldoorlog heel veel geschiedenis groetjes van de Veluwe ga zo door maatje
I live in southen Denmark (Sønderjyland) that was under German rule from 1864-1920 it's really important to learn the history of the danish minded men who fought and died on German side without them having a choice. 26.000 danish minded soldiers fought for the germans where only 20.000 made it home.
My great,great grandfather was a major in the British infantry he fought in the Somme and during the Somme he got a peace of shrapnel in his head and with a lot of operations and time in hospital he recovered and had a peaceful life after his Service.
Also thanks for giving the info about my ancestry website. I decided to get it I have now learnt a lot more about him very pleased with the website. Definitely would recommend.👍👍
That's a very informative video on the WWI German uniform. I always wondered about the boots but now it makes sense. Of course it's not just the boots but the difference with the field blause and pants and red striping.The helmet is great. Better than the early leather helmets. Great video.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️
My great grandfather fought in world war 1. He lived in 'Elsass Lothringen' and was force recruited by the germans. He had two horses, the big ones. 'Ardenner' amd for the german army he was used to deliver food to the front. Later, during the battle of verdun, he was send with supplies to one of the forts, when he arrived, the fort was already taken by the french army. They, than recruited him to do the same job, just in a french uniform. During the war now he switched side nearly dayli and he had afrench helmet, german uniform and frensh shoes. He never used a weapon because he refused to kill people. And later, for him it was not important which side was inside the forts. He delivered food for the hungry soldiers, and both sides accepted his role and he was not attacked by any side. He was called the 'Wasserträger' by the germans and like this, he survived ww1 without killing anyone.
Actually the original ammo pouches could fit 4 clips of 5 rounds in each compartment so in total you could carry as much as 120 rounds and 5 in your rifle. Also there was a trench magazine or graben magazin available where you could fit around 20 round I guess. Also great work I love that you also get into ww1.
I have mostly a 1917 impression. I need to replace my blouse and modify my belt to fit my waist. Unfortunately, where I live it's too hot to wear a lot of the time
The only direct family members i am aware of who fought in the first world war were two of my great grandfather's one was an Italian immigrant who was drafted in the army and the other of German decent, served in the US Navy but he enlisted on the 1 October, 1918. Literally a month before the war ended. So not sure if he even saw any action at all. And then I had a great uncle who fought in the Italian army and a few of one of my great grandmother's cousins in the Austro-Hungarian army. But I think it would be cool to find more ancestors who fought in the first world war.

Ur a legend nick
I have question what was the song at the end?
Question when are we going to see the metal detecting video with the scary find Nick because it’s has be 5 to 3 years since you told us about it and can we see more WWI videos
How do you learn playng song's on harmonika?
Did you ever get that mg-42 that the armored car ran over fixed? In the totally historically accurate battle of Borlo in Belgium.
My great grandfather was a Hungarian soldier in the Austro-Hungarian army. Born in 1873, Imre Csibertics completed the required military service as a one-year volunteer around 1905. at the 17th Army Infantry Regiment in Székesfehérvár.

It's always a good day when History Secrets posts another video.

Yeah oddly enough after the civil war in the late 1880s the US Army changed the infantry to white and cavalry to yellow. Unsure when it was reverted

My great-great-grandfather (grandfathers grandfather) was an American surgeon who served on the western front with the artillery divisions, he wouldn’t usually visit the front line trenches but he would sometimes have to venture out there to pick up wounded or dead

Exited for the video😊😊
Hey nick, I have a question. Would you ever do a ww1 reenactment? Do they have them where you live at?
I always love the German uniforms form WW1 you make me inspired in history when I was at a young age!
It doesnt matter what you post, its all amazing!
Amazing uniform!!
Thank you!!
I do enjoy your videos
Actually the original ammo pouches could fit 4 clips of 5 rounds in each compartment so in total you could carry as much as 120 rounds and 5 in your rifle. Also there was a trench magazine or graben magazin available where you could fit around 20 round I guess.
Also great work I love that you also get into ww1.
Yet another great video, we need more people like you. Shame in UK we don't want to remember those who fought for us. Can't wait for your next video.
Hi Nicky good when you post
Are there going to be anymore Back garden trench videos coming? I always enjoy those videos. Maybe a WW1 theme one for a change?
I have mostly a 1917 impression. I need to replace my blouse and modify my belt to fit my waist. Unfortunately, where I live it's too hot to wear a lot of the time
The bread bag strap reminds me of my impression
The only direct family members i am aware of who fought in the first world war were two of my great grandfather's one was an Italian immigrant who was drafted in the army and the other of German decent, served in the US Navy but he enlisted on the 1 October, 1918.

Looks amazing!!! You know we're the best stuff is!!
I love your Videos
Yo wake up bro another banger just dropped
