History WebVideo / TheGreatWar

A [[SpiritualSuccessor sequel of sorts]] for ''The Great War'' that covers UsefulNotes/WorldWarII started on September 1st, 2018 and their channel is going by the name ''WebVideo/WorldWarTwo''. Despite the "end of the war" in November 2018, the crew (sans-Indy) have elected to [[TheShowMustGoOn keep going]] in a new format of lengthier, more in-depth episodes with new host Jesse Alexander, which covers the aftermath of the war (and specifically, a few of the wars that sprang up in the immediate aftermath of the main conflict and are often argued to be continuations of the Great War). Indy also co-hosts the ''Sabaton History'' channel with Joakim Brodén and Pär Sundström of Music/{{Sabaton}}, which tells the history behind Sabaton's songs (some of which he's covered on ''The Great War'' or ''World War II''). In 2019, the Great War team, Real Time History, announced they were crowdfunding a new documentary titled ''16 Days in Berlin'' chronicling the Battle of Berlin in the final stages of World War II in Europe day by day, in collaboration with other historical youtubers and museums.

''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/TheGreatWar The Great War]]'' is a Website/{{Youtube}} channel, which follows UsefulNotes/WorldWarI week by week, exactly one hundred years after the events depicted, as an ambitious four year project. In between the main episodes, the series looks at special topics like famous personalities, innovations, the role different countries played, and other things, as well as answering questions from viewers. It is presented in English by Stockholm-based American actor Indy Neidell, who is also the lead writer. Polish and German language versions were launched but discontinued due to lack of funding. The narration is illustrated with contemporary photographs and original footage courtesy of British Pathé.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: While most episodes are produced in the studio, Indy and the crew have shot some episodes on location in Przemsyl, Poland (an [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Przemysl_Fortress Austrian fortress besieged by the Russians in 1914-15]]), Verdun, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi_FGV8n7_U&index=10&list=PLB2vhKMBjSxNGbaGicsVmBel0nzfFqK4q Meuse-Argonne cemetery]], at [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBf-GgVdIr8&index=3&list=PLB2vhKMBjSxNGbaGicsVmBel0nzfFqK4q The Tank Museum, Bovington]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jqj_qOM6iEk&index=4&list=PLB2vhKMBjSxNGbaGicsVmBel0nzfFqK4q Stow-Maries Great War Aerodrome]], and on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_fzmkQjo2I the preserved battlefields of Caporetto]].

** During the home stretch of their "16 days of Berlin" documentary, they proceeded to do an analysis of the most memetic scene from ''Film/{{Downfall}}'', breaking down the real-life elements and context of said scene.

* BadassMustache: Extremely prevalent among high ranking officers during the war to the point that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsF5Mg6DXiM they had their own top 10 list]]. This trope was, however, mostly averted among enlisted ranks, since gas masks tended to be difficult and dangerous to wear with facial hair. The exception was the British, who actually ''required'' a mustache in their troops until 1916.

** ''WebVideo/AlternateHistoryHub'' had a crossover with TGW's episode [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHeMPV5VDR4 The Schlieffen Plan - And Why It Failed]].
