World War One German Stormtrooper Combat Training (Der Infanterie-Nahkampf)

I'm obsessed with stormtroops,& have been all my life! I'm 63 now. This is FABULOUS. All the typical storm weapons shown....mainly. German,AustroHungarian,Italian,Russian,Bulgarian,Turkish,.....I don't care! As a Brit we had none. We had problems with elites at the time!? Doctrinal problems,so we just used Canucks,Aussies,& Kiwis......errrrr-lol??? Evidence Bulgars used storm units in Balkan wars,in 1912-3? Seems many people do not understand difference between offensive & defensive grenades? Or even know there is a difference?? Mills bombs are defensive hand grenades & need to be used from cover or you eat your own fragments!!! BRILLIANT BRILLIANT VIDEO thanx m8

Handgranate werfen und still gestanden.

Its cool, in World War 2, countries extensive used films to train their troops, as filming and cameras were cheap and VERY common. But in World War 1, at the beginning, they film and cameras were more luxury and less of a common thing, but by the end of the war, cameras were very much more common, and this is a great one of the first examples of training films, which in future wars would play a massive part in training troops.

Interesting to see the knee pads way ahead of the trend on that for sure.

After watching this video, I stopped having issues with my discipline.

Fantastic ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Most valuable document! Thank u for sharing!

At 15 minutes those fellers cutting thru the barbed wire should be wearing gloves. A safety violation!

Benny Hill would fit right in.

Ach daher kommt die Bezeichnung bis heute 08/15

I’m new to learning German but want to start a re enactment squad based on a sturmtruppen squad but I kinda need somebody to translate this, if anyone could do that it would be very helpful thanks

They need to bring back the German empire

Just a flick of the wrist .

Now there's a standstill in the war, repeating what's been done before
It must come to an end, a few will transcend
They were under 25, and under fire they would thrive
The Sturmmann is born, their enemies scorn

A glimpse of the future, new tactics in war
New doctrine in combat explored
As fast as lightning, there's no time to mourn
A glimpse of the future and Blitzkrieg is born

Strike at zero hour
With overwhelming firepower
They're fueled by the fear in their enemies eyes
It's a shock troop infiltration
A fast and violent escalation
Out of the trenches the Stormtroopers rise!

Jägers led the way, the pioneers would join the fray
Initiative gained, advancement sustained
Lead through direct command, as they're advancing through the land
Encircling their flanks, and ravage their ranks

Expose their reinforcements, destroying their lines
New doctrine in combat aligns
Infantry attacks, exposing the cracks
New combat ideals, on the Kaiserschlacht's fields

Strike at zero hour
With overwhelming firepower
They're fueled by the fear in their enemies eyes
It's a shock troop infiltration
A fast and violent escalation
Out of the trenches the Stormtroopers rise!

I like the way he stands to attention after... Falling prone would be better... but then one's uniform would become dusty
