Horrible Histories - World Wars Through History | Compilation

frightful First World War in the First World War lots of our soldiers had to fight in horrible trenches and most of the trenches were full of lice Oh hmm what's cooking soldiers smells good fried life sir fried rice delicious no no fried lice Billy's been living in this trench for months without washing he's covered in lice oh I see so we're frying them for fun that's disgusting that's disgusting crumbs they're different colors yeah I picked up the pale ones around my body sir it's not looking good commandant the British lies have taken control of the head and advancing sauce we can't hold on see nipples much longer he must have he'll [ __ ] men's come on take this [ __ ] Jerry we have you surrounded come out with all your hands up okay listen up gentlemen this body is ours oh but you German lice can still have some of it oh yeah yes you can keep the bottom true or false if soldiers and the trenches were caught in a poisonous gas attack they used to wee on their handkerchief and put it over their nose and mouth it's true the chemicals in the urine kept out the poisonous gas life really was horrible in the trenches for the Germans as well his stories of course animals weren't the only world war two heroes there were plenty of human ones as well hey have we met before no I just like the very sound when I say that I'm coming down Klinsmann the new head of this prisoner of war camp and I hope you enjoyed your brief taste of freedom your twenty-third escape because it will be your last oh dear I have positioned additional guards here here and here making escape virtually impossible where did he go but he's done it again send 100 troops to find squadron cancel that against a comet odd ah Squadron Leader we meet again are we not counting just now shut up don't think I don't know what your game is here you British officers are under orders to keep trying to escape which means that our German soldiers spent all of their time chasing you down rather than fighting this war but not anymore I'm in charge here now and you will find that I have eyes in the back of my head now where did he go what send 300 soldiers to find Squadron Leader canceled debts Squadron Leader Higgins heck of a thought so we meet again don't say that I say that you you give me one good reason why I shouldn't just shoot you right here on the spot because the Geneva Convention means you can't shoot officers yes got about that yes I see you would like to get hold of my keys yes but let me tell you something I'm afraid there are two things in this world that will never happen one you will never win this war and two you will never get your hands on my keys once you've all we have surrendered every man for himself right this one's for the front door right easy this one's for the back game now it's a little bit sticky did you know that joined the war lots of the Allied soldiers who kept escaping were moved to an old German Castle called cold it's because coldest was meant to be escape-proof but there were more escapes from coldest known any other prisoner of war kappa i say well done chaps frightful First World War some women did a bit for the war effort by working in munitions factories making things like grenades ammunition and bombs [Music] working in a munitions factory can be really hard work so when I go out at the end of the day I like to look my best that's why I always steal some deadly high-explosive from the production line can use it to dye my hair a little TNT can really liven up your locs transforming you from a brunette to a blonde I never knew I could look this good he's a science a bit TNT is the abbreviated name for the chemical compound trinitrotoluene it's used in bombs to blow things to kingdom come it'll beat your hair but it can turn your skin yellow too now I'm blond all over thanks TNT hey I'm a real blonde bombshell even though many women genuinely use TNT to beach their hair during the war putting high explosive on your head is ill-advised and could well result in death don't award inventions number 16 the first world wars Zeppelin airship Zeppelin's were basically massive gas balloons with engines designed by the Germans to drop bombs on British cities they were brilliant because their enormous size meant they could carry lords of bones but there was one small problem their enormous size also meant they were almost impossible to miss anybody have some chewing gum in a bicycle pump rotten Romans lots of our Roman rulers were a bit mad and one of the maddest was a bloke called Caligula he once actually wanted to go to war with the God my loyal generals you have all served me well thanks to your ceaseless warring and general nastiness I Caligula now ruled an empire of unimaginable scale there is one valiant foe that we have yet to conquer do you speak off the mighty tribes in the untamed lands of the east smiley no me knew then the savage Celts of the frozen wastes of the north well then who would you have us fight Poseidon you serious yes okay but Poseidon is god of the sea he's likely to be quite big no no big is the wrong word what we meant was more goddess but that's the whole point I mean any old Emperor can defeat the Carthaginians but it takes a special kind of Emperor to take on a god just think of the history books oh do you remember that Caligula oh yes wasn't he the one that took on that God no one's going to forget that dinner array mmm that may be true sire but the problem is in order to go to war with Poseidon one would have to get hold of him but that's easy he lives in this sea that's where we should look for him yeah but isn't the sea quite big bigger than me no no no no that was the wrong word I meant more deep yes and wet you know it might be just a bit tricky to to track him down yes well I've thought about that we line up every ship in the Navy side-by-side stretching out into the sea then we march the entire Roman army across the ships and when they reach the end they all throw their spears into the ocean that'll show him who's boss yeah my only fear with that plan is that to the untrained eye that might look a bit like thousands of men throwing sticks in the sea for no good reason are you saying I'm wrong no no no no no I think it's a brilliant idea tomorrow we go to war with the sea hail Caligula ah so how did it go well we didn't get Poseidon but we did get some of his soldiers think you're bigger than me [Music] time again for our fairy tale series where all the stories are retold in different historical settings today the old woman who lived in the shoe the first world war version there was an old woman who lived in a shoe she had so many children she didn't know what to do but the boot they lived in belonged to a world war one soldier and in the first world war soldiers used to wee on their boots to soften the leather so the old woman and all her children always stank if we the end we on our boots was a bit yucky but we had more important things to worry about in the terrible trenches where just to survive we needed all the luck we could get this is it we're going over the top we climb out of the trench run through the deep mud over the barbed wire and charge headlong at the enemies machine guns that sounds like sheer suicide what happens if we refuse you'll be shot for cowardice really when you offer okay on my command almost forgot my soft belt cap oh that could have been nasty okay come on Billy what are you doing looking for my four leaf clover I've dropped it what I'm not gonna go and run a German machine gun without the lucky four-leaf clover oh my hang on here he's found it hang on I've got a check I've got my lucky Bible it's there strapped to your L me now that's not me lucky Bible this is me lucky Bible okay now I'm gonna tick Oh Lucky Penny lucky rabbit's foot where'd you get that it belonged to the lucky regimental mascot which going by a bomb we're not so lucky then lucky horseshoe lucky charm bracelet almost there fingers crossed let's go honestly your your stupid Goodluck charms are just silly superstitions good not so survivors this is a first you are so lucky still think it's a load of superstitious nonsense I come on and we find a four-leaf clover World War one soldiers were very superstitious and Goodluck charms were really popular who knows if they worked but there certainly were some very lucky soldiers like Captain William Milner who was saved when a German bullet pinged off the metal badge on his cap Oh close call during World War one the lucky mascots of the Scots Guards were called Bella and Bertha but what were they a cow's be goldfish or sea chickens the answer is a cow's the two cows were the only survivors from a herd that had been hit by a bomb
