World War One Footage
 

This is footage of a World War One battle. Watch as two armies clash, with planes flying overhead, and bombs dropping all around the battlefield.

I'm not convinced that that is real, I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the tanks didn't support the ground troops in that way and those planes swept down suspiciously low near the end. It looks more like a propaganda film to me.

Fucking sad if you ask me

miraculous that at the beginning the advancing germans never shot the camera man with the huge rig they ran back then ;)

I do not think it is real combat footage either.

I think it's fake too, The tanks have a nice clear path to drive down without running over any fallen solders.

I think I saw rochard!

It's about as real as this movie, from when the Huns attacked China:

I love WWI. I find it so much more interesting that WWII. Sometimes, though I feel it's the forgotten war. There are very few movies about it and if I remember from history class in school, it was but a blip that was talked about between the Civil War and WWII

very intense, though I dont think that video was actually from ww1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wings_(film) - somebody posted its from this movie. Maybe trolling, maybe true.

Totally fake footage.

The cameraman would have been killed or at least the camera would have been shaking (they didn't have big rigs to stabilize those giant cameras).

GFY is smarter than I thought, well done rogueteens! :thumbsup

I was under the impression that airplanes were more for reconnaissance and such during World War I than any actual combat. Can anyone clarify? theking, I know you were in the trenches, fill us in.

Also, the tank treads are from 1945 and men don't run like that.

IF you loved WWI then just wait until WWIII...it's going to be bigger and better than ever! :thumbsup

What do you mean wait....? :upsidedow

He means hold your horses.

I prefer holding my stools.... :thumbsup
