WW1: Britain's Forgotten Stormtroopers
Manage episode 434820773 series 3284494
WW1 - waves of young soldiers walking forward into a storm of steel.
Generals - a set of blundering fools - sat safely behind the lines drinking champagne.
The British unwillingness to accept new technology and new tactics.
These are the stories we grew up with. That we still see in the popular media.
But what if they are wrong?
What if I could explain to you today that the British and Empire armies of the First World War were actually dynamic and forward thinking institutions.
And what if the we could show that the infamous German stormtroopers, often considered the super soldiers of WW1, were simply following the same same tactics that the BEF had already adopted?
Sound interesting?
Then get yourself a brew and let’s bust some myths.
