I got it too, I didn't want to watch it for a long time because of the thumbnail. I didn't want to feel sad thinking about the conditions they where in. Glad I watched it though, cause it was kind of heartwarming in the end
I love the accuracy of this. I see a lot of other ww1 scenes where the ground is dry and its just a little dirty. Not many that show the deep waters and mud that they walked in

Not trying to fool anyone Mr B. Winter does go over 1916-17 and Roly Collin's character does say it is the new year, so I have changed the title to "1916-17". Trust that you are not too offended and please accept my apologies. And yes, it is from The Anzacs mini series as credited in the description.
Somewhere in the other side of No Man's Land, a German soldier was shaking, talking about how he didn't want to kill those British.
Coda Mission Aussies. but the Germans probs couldn’t tell the difference
@@ranidudeBRUH in 1916 they were still british
@@alphawolf2993 I hate to do this but British refers only to the island of Britain - England, Scotland and Wales. Australians were still Australians
@@wspencerwatkins wasn’t it still part of the British empire?

Both sides knew how pointless it was
They did not they thought it was worthwhile that is why they stuck out. Stop reading Australian bullshit history.
Thank god I got this in my recommended

I could not imagine what it would have been like. Bless all those men who went and came back and especially those that did not. Lest We Forget

This is Aussie bullshit.
Australians: “Those German soldiers looked scary”
Germans: “Those British soldiers looked scary”
Der Krieg wird wiederkommen.
British: “They’ve got a very good bass section, mind.”
@@ShasOSwoll i got that reference
Those men were fighting a war to end all wars but instead, they died for no reason
They were fighting a war...
that ended nothing
No one wanted to die. No one wanted to kill.
And yet they did. Millions killed, millions died. At the whim of leaders.
Aussies: "...and off we fuck..."
Jerries: "...wir verkrümeln uns dann mal besser auch..."
Germans uniform top 👌
eachother dont want to kill eachothers
"I'm not any good at killing people"
"You're good enough mate!"
What a way to cheer someone up
1:32 awkward MOMENT in online Gaming When 2 enemy squad met and have the same plan
war is not the answer, war does not work.
In a way it does but then it reshapes the world
That land looks mighty damp and swampy for winter
that's Flanders for ya
if a brit rolled into that hole he'd been like: terrible weather innit, could you kindly ask your friends to stop shooting at us
It seems more like Passchendaele with all that mud.

Yes, but the profit to be made. If war didn't make money it wouldn't happen.
@@carlmanvers5009 made money for the winners,made hitler for Germany and the reason for ww2 which was just more wasted human life

Name of film?
It was a mini-series from about 1986 called “The Anzacs”. Last I checked, full episodes are here on TH-cam
dude this is 1917 not 1916
I think it was the kid talking about the past not present
They’re Australian, not British
Sorry Snuggles Australians were British subjects until 1946 and 20 % of the ANZACS were British born and another percentage had British parents.
Humans hating Humans
