If this piques your interest at all I highly recommend Dan Carlin's Hardcore History where he did 6 parts and about 18 hours on WWI from a mostly military history perspective. He also did a shorter one on the eastern front in WWII.
- untothebreach 10y agoCame here to say this. I learned so much that I didn't previously know about WWI from HH. Not only the military history aspect, but the political and cultural context for a lot of it.
- douche 10y agoThe Great War youtube channel is also great. They do at least one video a week, on what was happening 100 years ago, plus extras on notable people, questions from viewers, and other things.
- michaelcampbell 10y agoYup, I just wrote essentially this same comment, then deleted it after I had seen you'd done it already. Even the telling of the stories leaves one affected.
- zwily 10y agoCan't second this recommendation enough. I used to take part in the whole "haha French military" nonsense... Not anymore.
- ja30278 10y agoOddly enough, I just finished the last episode of this series 10 minutes before seeing this link posted (and your comment). It is uniformly excellent, and well worth the time commitment required to listen to the whole thing. I've also enjoyed watching several episodes of "The Great War" on youtube, which seems to be of a similar quality. ( https://www.youtube.com/user/TheGreatWar https://www.youtube.com/user/TheGreatWar )
