The Guns of August is a documentary that follows the book by the same title by author, Barbara Tuchman (1912-1989), an eminent American historian. She received the first of her two Pulitzer prizes for this 1962 masterpiece on World War I. The documentary was made in 1965. Barbara Tuchman was highly respected for her ability to present complex subjects and present them with clarity. Until I read the previous review, I have never heard of anyone accusing her of hating Germany or its people or of her book being anti-German propaganda. But there are pictures of shot civilians and movies of smoldering ruins. Then again, there are people who claim the Holocaust never took place and is just anti-Nazi propaganda... Facts: On August 3 1914, Germany declared war on France. The German invasion plan for France called for an attack through Belgium, instead of through the heavily defended Franco-German border. Belgium was neutral and its neutrality was protected by treaty with Great Britain. The Germans attacked on August 3rd. The next day, August 4th, Great Britain declared war on Germany. Germany warned Belgium that they only wanted to reach France and if Belgium complied, there wouldn't be any trouble. Despite its small army, Belgium chose to protect its sovereignty and its honor and paid for it.

100 years ago the greatest catastrophe the world had ever known broke out. It's origins are complicated, more so than the outbreak of the Second World War. In many ways it seemed more like the Middle Ages than the 20th century. Europe was a very different place 100 years ago.....

Although Britain did not declare war until August 4, 1914 Germany declared war on France on 1 August 1914.
In this 100-year old #WW1 archive film footage, The German Emperor gives a speech on August 1, 1914, which his people are quite joyful about and are eager to volunteer. Germany mobilises almost 1 million troops and invades Belgium first before advancing towards France.
However they were always fearful of fighting a war on 2-fronts. In actual fact as well as Russia, Italy was also on the allies side and did not give an inch to the Austro-Hungarian troops (Germany's stalwart ally) in Trento-Trieste.

Великая война. Русское наступление в Галиции. Август 1914 г.
The Great War. Russian offensive in Galicia. August 1914
The Battle of Galicia was a major battle between Russia and Austria-Hungary during the early stages of World War I in 1914. In the course of the battle, the Austro-Hungarian armies were severely defeated and forced out of Galicia, while the Russians captured Lemberg and, for approximately nine months, ruled Eastern Galicia.

I intend to dedicate some time this year for models about the First World War, this is my third project this year related to this topic.
The scene shows a Bavarian cavalryman of the 2nd heavy cavalry regiment "Landshut" in August 1914 shortly before he travels to the front lines of the First World War.
The white metal figures are from Hecker & Goros, the level of detail is good. The faces on their figures tend to look a bit cartoonish from time to time, but i don´t mind that.
The figures are painted with acrylic paints from Revell and Lifecolor. The shading was created with acrylic washes. The base is a little wood block covered with a section of MiniArt´s cobble stone street. The newspaper on the street was printed on a PC.
All in all it was a cool project that made me think a lot. Maybe this shows through in the video.
I don´t own the rights for the music and video clips in this video.

When Britain despatched an Expeditionary Force (the BEF) to the Continent in August 1914, the German Kaiser issued an order of the day to his generals to “walk over General French’s contemptible little army”.
But despite being heavily outnumbered, this small force, including many men from the West Midlands, played a vital role in stopping the seemingly overwhelming German advance across Belgium and into France.
Small in size compared with the much larger armies of France and Germany, the BEF was highly effective. This was in stark contrast to the disasters that the British Army had experienced a few years earlier at the start of the Second Boer War (1899-1902) in South Africa.

Betrachtet man nur die ersten Monate des Krieges so zeichnet sich dort bereits der Ausgang ab.
Dieser Film ist Teil meiner Facharbeit. Ich zeige dort die Fehler auf, die am Anfang des Krieges zum Stellungskrieg führten. Sowohl die Deutschen, als auch die Franzosen trugen ihren Teil dazu bei, dass dieser Krieg in den Gräben enden musste.
Teil 1 beschäftigt sich mit der Vorgeschichte des Kriegs und dem eigentlichen Verlauf.

August 1914 is a novel by Russian novelist Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn about Imperial Russia's defeat at the Battle of Tannenberg in East Prussia. The novel was completed in 1970, first published in 1971, and an English translation was first published in 1972. The novel is an unusual blend of fiction narrative and historiography, and has given rise to extensive and often bitter controversy, both from the literary as well as from the historical point of view.
The plot primarily follows Colonel Vorotyntsev, a General Staff officer sent by the Grand Duke's (supreme commander, Russian Army) headquarters to the Russian Second Army invading East Prussia under command of General Alexander Samsonov. Vorotyntsev has been sent to find out exactly what is happening with the Second Army; a second General Staff colonel has been sent to the First Army with the same mission. Distances were so great, communications so poor, and the Russian Army so badly prepared for war, Voroyntsev was sent to find out all he could about conditions at the front and then report back to the Grand Duke. By August 26, the opening day of the 4-day Battle of Tannenberg, Vorotyntsev comes to realize that he cannot return to his headquarters in time to make any difference in the outcome of the battle, and stays with the Second Army to help out where he is able to. Numerous side plots involving other characters, both on the battlefield and elsewhere, fill out this great historical novel. The unprepared army's failures mirror those of the Tsarist regime. A famous episode in the earlier version of the novel narrates the state of mind and suicide of General Samsonov, the Russian commander.

The Guns are a four-piece rock band from South Wales. The current line-up consists of Alex Wiltshire (vocals and guitar), Adam Turner (lead guitar), Tom Coburn (bass guitar) and Chris 'Stix' Davies (drums). The band have stated that they would like to remain independent and have turned down numerous record deals as a result of that. As of 2012, The Guns have released two EPs, and two albums.
After the once popular South Wales band When Reason Sleeps, which contained the frontman for fellow Welsh band The Blackout, Sean Smith, broke up, lead singer Alex Wiltshire set out and recruited Adam Turner on lead guitar, Tom Coburn on bass guitar, and Kob on drums. The Guns were formed, and after a small amount of gigs, they were asked by Pontypridd band Lostprophets to support them during their Liberation Transmission tour, The Guns accepted the offer and went on to play on the main stage at The Full Ponty 2007. Also, during this period The Guns had started work on their debut album With The Guns, and had released a self-titled 3 track CD available through their Myspace and at gigs.

Although Britain did not declare war until August 4, 1914 Germany declared war on France on 1 August 1914.
In this 100-year old #WW1 archive film footage, The German Emperor gives a speech on August 1, 1914, which his people are quite joyful about and are eager to volunteer. Germany mobilises almost 1 million troops and invades Belgium first before advancing towards France.
However they were always fearful of fighting a war on 2-fronts. In actual fact as well as Russia, Italy was also on the allies side and did not give an inch to the Austro-Hungarian troops (Germany's stalwart ally) in Trento-Trieste.

I intend to dedicate some time this year for models about the First World War, this is my third project this year related to this topic.
The scene shows a Bavarian cavalryman of the 2nd heavy cavalry regiment "Landshut" in August 1914 shortly before he travels to the front lines of the First World War.
The white metal figures are from Hecker & Goros, the level of detail is good. The faces on their figures tend to look a bit cartoonish from time to time, but i don´t mind that.
The figures are painted with acrylic paints from Revell and Lifecolor. The shading was created with acrylic washes. The base is a little wood block covered with a section of MiniArt´s cobble stone street. The newspaper on the street was printed on a PC.
All in all it was a cool project that made me think a lot. Maybe this shows through in the video.

When Britain despatched an Expeditionary Force (the BEF) to the Continent in August 1914, the German Kaiser issued an order of the day to his generals to “walk over General French’s contemptible little army”.
But despite being heavily outnumbered, this small force, including many men from the West Midlands, played a vital role in stopping the seemingly overwhelming German advance across Belgium and into France.
Small in size compared with the much larger armies of France and Germany, the BEF was highly effective. This was in stark contrast to the disasters that the British Army had experienced a few years earlier at the start of the Second Boer War (1899-1902) in South Africa.

August 1980
August 1980
I fell in love at second sight
At the end of the night
I told you "You’re beautiful."
Yeah, I wanted to
Days are getting colder, felt the winter strangle the fall
Your birthday then Christmas, another year has come and gone
Then it was spring and I couldn’t wait to take you out dancing
The sickness, the darkness consumed my forsaken soul
Then it was June, but you weren’t around, I wanted to find you
You told me not to look so damn hard, but I did
Like you right from the start
Your baby teeth just chewing and gnawing my heart
Just wouldn’t let it go
I didn’t want you to
I shrugged off my armor, my weapons, and denounced my faith
I’m coming to get you, God be damned if he gets in my way
Cause if he does, I’ll cut him in thirds
I’ll cough up a prayer for him
My blood damns you Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost
Then I’ll wage war against anyone that dares to stop me from
I’ll find you, I'll rescue you from the light my love
Feel the heat of their blood on the side of my throat
I can’t get their taste off my tongue
I chewed through the bones, killed their kids, burned their homes
I felt their sharp soot in my lungs
But you told me "No," you left me because you just couldn’t love me.
But baby, its too late; they’re all dead. What the hell did I do?
What if you stayed? What if you did? What if you wanted to?
