It says in the more info bit, basically its yet more YT been dumb, said the brain transplant bit was too graphic, meanwhile I get recommendations of clips from equilibrium were the front of a guys face gets cut off and slowly slides down separating the two bits and that’s fine? I guess it was the cartoon animation that made it too graphic while the lifelike CGI and blood in equilibrium made it look unreal 😂
without going into the fantasy land of transplanting human brains inside of animal skulls regenerating severed nerve connections and prevent immunorejection (in 1914 nonetheless), or even incomodating eventual leftover wolves (which is not impossible), the Hound of Mons could have very well been just that - a large hunting, guard or sheep dog that due to the war had become a stray, and which was driven to hunger and stress to feed on the many corpses of no man's land. The missing patrols could have simply been killed by the enemy, and the bodies mangled when the dog had fed on them. Add the fear and stress that the men obviously went through 24/7 in that hellscape, finding the gory mess and hearing the occasional howl and growl, maybe seeing a fleeing shape in the fog, and voilà, you have a recipe for a wolf-human hybrid created by the dastardly Huns to feed onto the innocent blood of Albion's youth Great vid as always!
@@aronmarkovits5396 apparently in Siberia in the winter because food is so scarce and conditions are so harsh, many of the animals become far more predatory and crazy in their movements than in other times of the year. I would completely believe your relative/ancestor.
You know what, I thought the 'evil german scientist putting human brain into wolf' was like a made up part for youtube and not part of the 'historical' nature...but no papers in 1919 (several of them infact) were actually claiming that as well, right down to the 'secret papers that were claimed from the house of evil German scientist'. Huh...I do wonder if the original was just a big dog who wandered No Mans Land like you said and the tales just grew from there.
Those sentences are fine and clearly organized. They might be long, but they do not qualify as run-on sentences, as he has not mashed together independent clauses. I enjoyed reading it.
During WWI, wolves dragged off hundreds of bodies when Austro-Hungarians were battling the Russians. They even called a truce to hunt down the pack together. I think this may be something similar if it ever happened. Though pretty confident wolves had been hunted to extinction or close to it in Belgium by that time. (Edit: he covers and confirms this later in the video)
Arrived in 1914 on a horse and left in 1918 on a tank. That's wild to think about. Necessity is the mother of invention. "You can lead a tank to water, but you can't make it drink."
😅😅😅😅😅....leading a tank to water will drown everyone inside! This Hound Of Mons story....😮😮😮😮😮😮😮! A bio-engineered wolf...with HUMAN BRAIN, hhhmmm! Scary beginnings of the potential Third Reich and altering the natrual to unnatrual...YYYIIIIPPPPEEEE, YIKES!

"Men would ride into war on horseback in 1914, only to ride out of it on tanks in 1918." Truly, something profoundly significant happened in that year...
The original hounds of mons was in France, 1916. And recently declassified paperwork shows its true and there were cases as late as 1990 of black wolf's in france
Love the vid like always. Don't be dishartened by TH-cam. You are sadly not the first creator who goes through this. Contacting them via Twitter instead of Mail is sometimes succesful. It's a shame how they treat you this days. Lots of love from germany 💜
The story is reminescent of many other "Black dogs" found in European folklore, especially in folklore from the UK. That said, lone dogs or wolves scavenging among battlefields definitely happened (and probably even led to the mystical black dog stories), so this hound was probably real. And whilst canines can scavenge corpses they usually prefer fresher meat. Whilst I doubt that a single dog would take out an entire trench raiding party, dogs tearing open those who were freshly fallen or wounded in no man's land sounds very plausible. So whilst the overall story sounds a bit over embellished, I am certain there was a (or more likely several) dog at Mons
The prologue as well as the set up for the story was incredible! The way you set up the story of the Hound of Mons by using other inventions and machinery like tanks and gas was incredibly natural! I love listening to this story, it is fascinating in a very haunting way.
I’ve commented BEFORE..probably several times. THIS is such a SUPERB, UNIQUE channel, with the narrator’s voice ABSOLUTELY spot-on, albeit perfect..and ALSO still unique for the subject material and suspense it provides..Thanks!
The thing is, I don't think that the Germans at the time could actually manage to successfully create such a horrific monstrosity, but I absolutely believe that they would have _tried_ to, and that's just as scary to me.
@@welshman8954 nevertheless, the almost primative scientists of the time that both sides would turn to absolutely would have tried something like this.
@welshman8954 Came here to say something similar. These stories in WW1 and 2 about these evil scientists trying to create hybrids and monsters and what have you, they're always German. They are just stories mostly. I somewhat get it, the face of evil in WW2 was the Nazi Party so it stands to reason that the stories would center on Nazi scientists, but the Russians were so much worse in every way shape and form, but because they were the "good guys" they get a pass.
i mean... chemical weapons...that let ppl die in unimaginable pain and suffering while their lungs and eyes get burned by the acid/poison gas....a mosnter hound is kinda tame in comparison @@welshman8954
Now I'm an open minded person but could it be possible that the Hound of Mons was simply a large Siberian wolf that the Germans somehow captured and trained to act attack the Allies? Like how the police and army train attack dogs
The European wolf was only officially designated as extinct in France in 1937 in Belgium earlier but they are next to eachother. Could easily have just been some of the last wolves on the area. Hardly a lack of meat to scavenge off a battlefield like those in ww1.
@leodesalis5915 maybe but I find my theory about the Hound possibly being a large wolf that the Germans captured and trained like an attack dog more interesting not to sound biased or anything
At the end, I think Richard got that idea from a TV show called Spitting Image in the late 1980s here in the UK where they used puppets to caricature everybody and one Christmas they had the Arnold Schwarzenegger puppet sitting in a rocking chair by an open fire with a lovely knitted jumper on. He says, 'People say I am too violent and that I need to calm down for the holiday season.' Then that record starts playing and as soon as the singer croons, 'Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,' His eyes snap wide open, he springs up out of his chair, grabs a machine gun and wastes the Christmas tree!!.
That book character sounds like the opposite of Clark Gable, who at 40 years old, after his wife died in a plane crash, joined the Army Air Force & pushed & pushed until he got to fly combat missions, which he ended up as a top gunner on a b-17, flying in 5 recorded combat missions, but many more reported by fellow vets.
I know the killing of Franz Ferdinand was seen as the spark that lit WW1 but in reality there were a number of political forces working hard to get that war in Europe started - the assassination was the catalyst they were able to use. Over 100 years later the exact same thing is going on today.
Good story, although I'd say in this case, being supernatural is the only thing that makes the Hound of Mons believable, I don't think a living dog could survive No Mans Land for very long. The trenches were horrifying enough without adding monsters, created by mad scientists or not, interestingly recently declassified records reveal that stories of the "Hound of Mons" may have had some truth to it, although its more likely to have been a feral dog than an actual wolf.
I agree with you. Organ transplants are still really tricky today. I'm not sure they even understood sterilization in the era of which this story is set, let alone all of the other factors in order to facilitate a successful organ transplant, let alone a brain transplant!
Wolves did. But it was an alpine no man land. Wolves pulled living and dead men out of their fox holes and trenches by the hundred. With just bolt action rifles, the men half dead from hypothermia couldn’t protect themselves from an intelligent wolf packs working together.
@@davehug5405 Just mentioned it below. It’s covered on the channel The Great War, which covers _every single day of the war._ The idea of a cyborg wolf is just absurd in the extreme. A dead wolf with a human brain even more absurd.
Amazing content! I have been an viewer since your Kitsune video, You have improved drastically from when you made that video. I find your Vietnam videos more interesting but you have also hit the nail on the head with how you describe and emotionally capture the setting and mood of the battlefield and soldiers, it is highly impressive.
I thought I was time traveling again I didn't realize this was a re-upload. You had me worried about some spaceship abducted me and stuck me back in time. 😶🌫️👽
I'm willing to throw this video a like and to sit through and enjoy the story again. Shame you had to re-upload it but what can one do on this site at times.
Thanks for another great video. I have always loved to watch and hear the behaviour of Wolves and German Shepherds, since I was little. Especially their howling. My current GSD has always howled since he was a puppy. Once on a trip to London, we were moving into the Tube at Euston; it was heaving with people and loud. Suddenly, he let out a long soulful howl, and the sounds stopped. We could have heard a pin drop. As we moved to the platform area, I heard someone say- "What the heck was that"? Hahaha.
I second this I had an American Timberwolf (my Profile Pic) for 16 years along with being protected by GSDs since birth. In my 54 years I've seen some amazing things by both breeds. Sadly I lost my wolf Phantom to old age 4 years ago to old age and currently have a black and sable Female GSD that is my 🌎.
“From a shot that would change the world. Tensions rise and a war is unfurled. Nothing like what had come before. It’s the war that will end all war.” -Sabaton’s “Sarajevo”
German working dogs were present throughout the war, some trained in Schützhund. It's possible that some having become separated from their respective handlers went feral. Not a dismissal of the story, but a plausible explanation.
I'm here to give a view and a like. Because numbers for the algorithm. That you had to re-upload an edited version of this is extra lame. Your channel is great. I love the content. Keep it up brother! Edit: Some words for context.
I have a friend who was in Vietnam, special forces of some kind. He taught me survival camping and that the US has been training and using dog men soldiers to “clean out” underground tunnels since.
Absolutely amazing content & the drawn experience has all ready blew me and my lady’s minds 🤯🤯 Great job I look forward to watching more Wartime Stories 🐺🦍👻🙏😎
Love the work you put into this. Going to be nitpicky here but the only battle around Mons was in 1914 at the start of the war, there wasn't really trench warfare going on yet. The apocalyptic image in the beginning of the video would be more fitting in Flanders 1917/1918. Also in 1914 the Briitish didn't yet wear the Brodie helmet we commonly associate Commonwealth and US soldiers with.
I was just wondering how they made dogs bullet proof. An American would have shot the dogs then tossed them back to the Germans as a gift. wait, no they would have sent them to the nearest research base for reverse engineering. then captured a few live ones so the white women can put sweaters on them and feed them tofu. :)
This was an amazing albeit terrifying “story” thank you so much for sharing this, I was there in the moment with all these people, I felt what müeller felt and saw, what he must have thought. This is the Stuff of absolute nightmares!
I was wondering if this was a WWI story until I heard "One single shot to set the world alight," then I knew that the assassination of the Archduke was coming. It's crazy to think that had he not been assassinated though, something else would've set the war in motion. The Balkans(?) at that time is often referred to in history classes as "a powderkeg on the verge of going off." Unfortunate as it sounds, there was tragically no real way of stopping this war due to how strained relations were throughout all of Europe. It's crazy to think that WWII could've likely been more avoidable had the Allies not blamed Germany for the war, which would've meant that Adolf Hitler wouldn't have anything to fall back on with his speeches. Realistically, WWI could've been the war to end all wars for a good while until probably 1950
Great story, especially being in WW1. I would have to say that wolves attacking soliders isn't far-fetched on the eastern front their were records from both Russia and Austrians, troops being attacked by wolves in no man lands or eatting the died from battle .
There is one story I recall a co worker telling me how I believe Russian and German troops (don't quite remember which) worked together to fend off a pack of wolves that were picking off their wounded until they grew bold enough to attack the able bodied. Scary shit if you think about it
Late watching this, it's Feb. 3, 2023 as I write, but I wanted to say thank you Luke, Rich, & Simon for all you do. That last bit from Simon strangely got me feeling many things as once; minutes later I still have a grin and standing water in my eyes. Thank you too Jake for the story! Really well written, perfect for the channel and Luke's delivery. This isn't the first German war hound story I've heard, and both times I've been reminded of a 2 part history/character building story-arc in the long-running (July 2002-July 2015) graphic novel comic series Fables by Bill Willingham. Bigby (contraction - or portmanteau - of Big Bad) Wolf in WWII, though as an Ally, working with a troop of more traditional soldiers to get to a particular German castle in which Nazi scientists are hard at work on creating the Ubermensch or Super-Soldier or is it an Abomination? You might know this Creature as the Post Modern Prometheus...
The funny thing is that the descriptions he gave of the bodies... made me think of something an old vet told me once decades ago... A story about men doing field interrogations on the battlefield, and killing the victim when they were done. the description was of a very brutal sort of torture, and since the victim was gonna be killed at the end anyways, they cut them up in ways that were focused on causing pain quickly with tools no more complex that a well-sharpened boot knife.... and the consequences be damned. When they'd decided the poor guy was done, they just left his corpse where it lay. Next guy to come along would have no way to know what had happened. Now, this was a story told to me second hand, by a man who claimed he'd heard it from.... someone... but not something he'd actually done.... supposedly. Dunno if it was true, or a tall tale. But the descriptions of the corpses reminded me of the tale.
@@marhawkman303 Certain situations are dictated by the battle if you are in the environment there is no time to think. In 1999 I was on a scouting patrol we found 3 enemy soldiers,they were mutilated.We thought they were covered by artillery and wild animals did the rest.The scene was like that the Werewolf tore them to pieces.We left place and continued on
Could also have been been dog like cryptids similar to a massive Dire Wolf in appearance such as one encountered in 80s in Utah at skinwalker ranch ( before it was famous)
I just recently subscribed to your channel and I really enjoy the depth of each story. I will say that even though this story is more than likely a myth one thing is for sure, no wolf or even wolves would be anywhere near the chaos of a battlefield. Especially the battlefields of that war and I would find it hard to believe the brain transplant lol. Still really enjoyed the story though and really enjoy the way you present it. 😎👍
I can 100% see the germans catching large dogs and making them go nuts then releasing them on their enemies but there's no way a doctor gave a dog a human brain.

This story was really intriguing and horrifying. I loved it. I would like to hear more myths about World War 1.
Friggin banger, this one. Great job guys & a blessed new year to everyone reading this
Sorry you had to re-release. It is a very well-made video ^^
Paranormal occurrences in WWI are, in my opinion, oft ignored due to the real-world horrors of that terrible conflict.
The close up of that thing gave me chills!!!
Best channel I've found in a year!
Good story, although I'd say in this case, being supernatural is the only thing that makes the Hound of Mons believable, I don't think a living dog could survive No Mans Land for very long. The trenches were horrifying enough without adding monsters, created by mad scientists or not, interestingly recently declassified records reveal that stories of the "Hound of Mons" may have had some truth to it, although its more likely to have been a feral dog than an actual wolf.
I agree with you.
Organ transplants are still really tricky today. I'm not sure they even understood sterilization in the era of which this story is set, let alone all of the other factors in order to facilitate a successful organ transplant, let alone a brain transplant!
Look into the wolves on the eastern front sure this channel covers it
..but of course.
Wolves did. But it was an alpine no man land. Wolves pulled living and dead men out of their fox holes and trenches by the hundred. With just bolt action rifles, the men half dead from hypothermia couldn’t protect themselves from an intelligent wolf packs working together.
@@davehug5405 Just mentioned it below. It’s covered on the channel The Great War, which covers _every single day of the war._ The idea of a cyborg wolf is just absurd in the extreme. A dead wolf with a human brain even more absurd.
I can honestly say if you hear that howl out in the wild it will send chills down your spine.
This is the best opening script i have ever heard
Amazing content! I have been an viewer since your Kitsune video, You have improved drastically from when you made that video. I find your Vietnam videos more interesting but you have also hit the nail on the head with how you describe and emotionally capture the setting and mood of the battlefield and soldiers, it is highly impressive.
Siberian wolfhound is now known as a Borzoi, it's not a cool or tough looking dog. They are basically a hairy greyhound.
I thought I was time traveling again I didn't realize this was a re-upload. You had me worried about some spaceship abducted me and stuck me back in time. 😶🌫️👽
I'm willing to throw this video a like and to sit through and enjoy the story again. Shame you had to re-upload it but what can one do on this site at times.
Another great video, im late to the party but catching up. Love your channel. Thank you for all the time and work you put in to make these.
Great video! You sound a lot like "Mike Rowe" from "Dirty Job's".
I enjoy your narration of the stories you put out. Great job.🤙🏽 I really loved the outro on this one.😂 Thanks Rich
Mad I didn't get to watch the original version before it got taken down. This should be good...
Loved the Christmas Carol at the end
You deserve more credit for your videos, These are amazing!!
Thanks for another great video. I have always loved to watch and hear the behaviour of Wolves and German Shepherds, since I was little. Especially their howling.
My current GSD has always howled since he was a puppy. Once on a trip to London, we were moving into the Tube at Euston; it was heaving with people and loud. Suddenly, he let out a long soulful howl, and the sounds stopped. We could have heard a pin drop. As we moved to the platform area, I heard someone say- "What the heck was that"? Hahaha.
I second this I had an American Timberwolf (my Profile Pic) for 16 years along with being protected by GSDs since birth. In my 54 years I've seen some amazing things by both breeds. Sadly I lost my wolf Phantom to old age 4 years ago to old age and currently have a black and sable Female GSD that is my 🌎.
“From a shot that would change the world.
Tensions rise and a war is unfurled.
Nothing like what had come before.
It’s the war that will end all war.” -Sabaton’s “Sarajevo”
German working dogs were present throughout the war, some trained in Schützhund. It's possible that some having become separated from their respective handlers went feral.
Not a dismissal of the story, but a plausible explanation.
I'll gladly watch this one again, really enjoying these supernatural stories.
one of my favorite stories to help me go to sleep, animations are great but the ambience and sound are top notch.
I'm here to give a view and a like. Because numbers for the algorithm. That you had to re-upload an edited version of this is extra lame. Your channel is great. I love the content. Keep it up brother!
Edit: Some words for context.
I have waited for a bright, sunshiny day to watch this. Normally I like to listen to this channel when I'm on my overnight guard post. 😆
I have a friend who was in Vietnam, special forces of some kind. He taught me survival camping and that the US has been training and using dog men soldiers to “clean out” underground tunnels since.
Absolutely amazing content & the drawn experience has all ready blew me and my lady’s minds 🤯🤯
Great job I look forward to watching more Wartime Stories 🐺🦍👻🙏😎
This is one of the best videos I've watched!
A brutal videogame where you play as Mueller would be so goddamn awesome
Felt like I needed to rewatch and recommend after it was taken down.
Nice touch at the end with the song. person was actually seeing a pretty Good and then you transitioned. Beautifully done. Nice creepy pasta
So glad i found this "channel" i listen to the stories over and over , this one gave me the creeps 😮
Love the work you put into this. Going to be nitpicky here but the only battle around Mons was in 1914 at the start of the war, there wasn't really trench warfare going on yet. The apocalyptic image in the beginning of the video would be more fitting in Flanders 1917/1918. Also in 1914 the Briitish didn't yet wear the Brodie helmet we commonly associate Commonwealth and US soldiers with.
I was just wondering how they made dogs bullet proof. An American would have shot the dogs then tossed them back to the Germans as a gift. wait, no they would have sent them to the nearest research base for reverse engineering. then captured a few live ones so the white women can put sweaters on them and feed them tofu. :)
Also in November 1918 when the town was retaken on the last day of the war
Quickly, someone write a story where the Angels of Mons are there to hunt down the Hound of Mons
This was an amazing albeit terrifying “story” thank you so much for sharing this, I was there in the moment with all these people, I felt what müeller felt and saw, what he must have thought. This is the Stuff of absolute nightmares!
Loving this. Used to hear kids giggling, playing in our military housing when i ws a kid.
Wartime Stories & Bedtime Stories are the SHIT🔥🔥 Awesome job on this one! It blew my f****** mind🤯
I was wondering if this was a WWI story until I heard "One single shot to set the world alight," then I knew that the assassination of the Archduke was coming.
It's crazy to think that had he not been assassinated though, something else would've set the war in motion. The Balkans(?) at that time is often referred to in history classes as "a powderkeg on the verge of going off." Unfortunate as it sounds, there was tragically no real way of stopping this war due to how strained relations were throughout all of Europe.
It's crazy to think that WWII could've likely been more avoidable had the Allies not blamed Germany for the war, which would've meant that Adolf Hitler wouldn't have anything to fall back on with his speeches. Realistically, WWI could've been the war to end all wars for a good while until probably 1950
Great story, especially being in WW1. I would have to say that wolves attacking soliders isn't far-fetched on the eastern front their were records from both Russia and Austrians, troops being attacked by wolves in no man lands or eatting the died from battle .
There is one story I recall a co worker telling me how I believe Russian and German troops (don't quite remember which) worked together to fend off a pack of wolves that were picking off their wounded until they grew bold enough to attack the able bodied. Scary shit if you think about it
Late watching this, it's Feb. 3, 2023 as I write, but I wanted to say thank you Luke, Rich, & Simon for all you do. That last bit from Simon strangely got me feeling many things as once; minutes later I still have a grin and standing water in my eyes.
Thank you too Jake for the story! Really well written, perfect for the channel and Luke's delivery. This isn't the first German war hound story I've heard, and both times I've been reminded of a 2 part history/character building story-arc in the long-running (July 2002-July 2015) graphic novel comic series Fables by Bill Willingham. Bigby (contraction - or portmanteau - of Big Bad) Wolf in WWII, though as an Ally, working with a troop of more traditional soldiers to get to a particular German castle in which Nazi scientists are hard at work on creating the Ubermensch or Super-Soldier or is it an Abomination? You might know this Creature as the Post Modern Prometheus...
The funny thing is that the descriptions he gave of the bodies... made me think of something an old vet told me once decades ago... A story about men doing field interrogations on the battlefield, and killing the victim when they were done. the description was of a very brutal sort of torture, and since the victim was gonna be killed at the end anyways, they cut them up in ways that were focused on causing pain quickly with tools no more complex that a well-sharpened boot knife.... and the consequences be damned. When they'd decided the poor guy was done, they just left his corpse where it lay. Next guy to come along would have no way to know what had happened.
Now, this was a story told to me second hand, by a man who claimed he'd heard it from.... someone... but not something he'd actually done.... supposedly. Dunno if it was true, or a tall tale. But the descriptions of the corpses reminded me of the tale.
@@marhawkman303 Certain situations are dictated by the battle if you are in the environment there is no time to think. In 1999 I was on a scouting patrol we found 3 enemy soldiers,they were mutilated.We thought they were covered by artillery and wild animals did the rest.The scene was like that the Werewolf tore them to pieces.We left place and continued on
Could also have been been dog like cryptids similar to a massive Dire Wolf in appearance such as one encountered in 80s in Utah at skinwalker ranch ( before it was famous)
Hope they told you what specifically got this rated the way it did. Happy new year. Keep at it; love your channel.
This feels like the basis for a Doctor Who storyline.
I just recently subscribed to your channel and I really enjoy the depth of each story. I will say that even though this story is more than likely a myth one thing is for sure, no wolf or even wolves would be anywhere near the chaos of a battlefield. Especially the battlefields of that war and I would find it hard to believe the brain transplant lol. Still really enjoyed the story though and really enjoy the way you present it. 😎👍
The art of the original video was awesome. I love this tale abs sucks to see it get tagged for graphic
This would make a bloody good horror movie!
This one rocked out loud!!! I'm loving this channel as the granddaughter of an American WW2 veteran, the niece of a Vietnam veteran.
I can 100% see the germans catching large dogs and making them go nuts then releasing them on their enemies but there's no way a doctor gave a dog a human brain.
