    Those were the times when it was seen to be a sign of authority to have a moustache. Hence, most officers had one. Incredible footage and a 5-star video.

    when you reckon milions of people died in that war. and today, when theres only 1 or 2 soldiers killed in a fight in afghanista, iraq or anywhere in the world, they make a whole huge deal about it

    I reckon ppl confuse the germans from ww1 and ww2. These guys didnt give up their lives for frankness they gave it up to weaken another power who was gaining territory, classic british tactics, ally with the weak to crush the other huge powers, GJ!

    Its right the war was Germany’s fault, not the black hand nor capitalists. They plotted it out and even had a 1912 Conference to go over small fine points. Once Germany was ready they went to war in 1914 deliberately!

    Onewaytom, I agree. The war was well plotted by Germany and it was a deliberate offensive proceedings by them. But for some reason there is still this perception that the both sides ‘fell’ into the war.

    I agree onewatom. New research has shown that the war was forced by German plotting. Political assasinations were a very common occurence, Franz Ferdinand wasnt really that vital, but it provided a crisis which to launch war, there were several major crisis between 1900-1914. It was but a conference in Germany between the General in 1912 where they really plotted the war. But the cheif Admiral wanted 2 more being in his own terms to be ready to engage Britain.

    Canadian Troops were known as Storm Troopers, and gained they’re international frankness from Britain by taking part in this war. Espiecially defeating the germans at Vimy Ridge.

    ww1 & ww2 started because of a massive inflation (and depresion) caused by banks People start borrowing Loans from the banks (WHICH KNOW YOU WILL NEVER PAY IT ON TIME YOU BECOME SLAVE PAYING INTERESTS) in crisis you cannot use money on the economy owing amount outstanding and most of the money goes to Incentivate Wars in South & Central america
