This WWI German Stormtroopers military history documentary covers the elite assault troops of the First World War. They had to be unmarried, under 25, and volunteer for missions most soldiers wouldn't survive. Their own country thanked them by throwing them into continuous action until there was no one left.
This World War 1 history documentary covers why the Stormtroopers were created. The trench stalemate made frontal assaults pointless. Artillery bombardments destroyed any chance of surprise. Machine guns and barbed wire gave every advantage to the defenders. Small raiding parties were the answer.
The video covers Captain Willy Rohr, the man who built the Stormtrooper concept. He threw out the heavy armor and focused on speed. Small squads of eight men became self-contained combined arms teams. Everyone trained to step up if their leader went down. They got the MP18, the first submachine gun. They trained on replica trenches with live ammunition.
This First World War documentary covers the Feuerwalze artillery system. Short, violent bombardments instead of week-long shelling. Creeping barrages the infantry followed as close as possible. Fort Douaumont at Verdun captured by one sergeant who walked in alone. Caporetto where the Italian second army disintegrated. Erwin Rommel learning the tactics he would later use with tanks.
The video covers the 1918 Spring Offensive. 3.5 million shells in five hours. 20,000 British prisoners on the first day. The advance that stalled when starving troops found British supply depots full of food and alcohol. The Stormtroopers kept in continuous action until their casualties reached nearly 100%. The legacy that lives on in special forces today.
