    Indy should have been shot for disobeying a lawful order.

    so the attack would be delayed another day so the soldiers could live a little longer(notice he put the message in the gas tank)

    Still haven’t figured out why he had to blow up his bike aswell. He almost killed himself…

    This is an EXCELLENT fable. Comparing nowadays hot-shot speculators who play with companies, with WW1 abstract strategists who played with infantry units, is very sound and many lessons should be learned from this.
    Regarding historical facts, in this case Pétain was wrong. Nivelle and Mangin prepared their attack “in every detail”. Their victory was a severe blow to the Germans, as Douaumont was a strategic position, not only a symbol.

    Because it’s a nice inklink into World War I, not a true story, but most films these days are not. lol

    Unfortunately for humanity and the French army, Nivelle remained on even after Verdun, and ordered another senseless series of attacks against well defended german positions, most notably at the chemin des dames. These attavks and the mutiny in the french army that came after were the direct cause of Passchendaele. woe to the western world for starting the two most catastrophic man made events in world history! (W.W. 1 and W.W. 2)

    Try going to retirement homes… I talk to people in their 80s they got some crazy WWII stories and stories of the great depression.

    Indy as a Child wasn’t Bad but also wasn’t as Good as the young one. I was always waiting to see the new classic beauty type Hottie he was going to hook up with that week. I mean Katherine Zeta Jones was in this series.

    I have the DVD box set for the War Years, but the endings with Old Indy were all cut. Poo.

    it’s weird in the end that you have a legend with so much history and storys to tell and everyone else is oblivious to that fact

    I’d forgotten how good these were! Thanks for posting them!

    You don’t by any chance have the Somme episode, do you? I’d kill for the bit with Graves and Sassoon.

    I remember I was a young kid in Malaysia when this show aired. We had 1 English tv station and this show was on every week, I couldn’t wait to see it. I’m definitely getting all the DVDs.
