The low flying planes and tanks rolling along bodyless paths make me think it's staged for an early film? Whether it is or not I still think it highlights how utterly nuts fighting with machine guns and bolt action rifles using 18th century tactics was.
Humans huh.
I concur
I agree that it is not actual combat footage.
Also, the movie cameras of the day were very large and cumbersome. The camera in the above video is located in no mans land and would have been in the line of fire, yet remains perfectly steady.
The Germans from the left and British or Americans from the right also move back and forth quite easily...
I say not as a the camera is dramatically positioned exactly where it and the cameraman would be toast and b the tanks are early 30s French by design . B is based on memory may be wrong.
Looks a bit like a Renault FT type
But yes, I can't believe that's anything other than staged. You actually see one fella roll out of the path if the nearest tank. The tank then appears to have a conveniently clear path.
Agree Renault FT (or the American copy), they did see ww1 action though, late war.
I like how the guys on the left think they're winning at one point and then the guys on the right suddenly overwhelm them
Renault FT operated by the US in 1918.
The footage is obviously staged.
There is very little genuine footage from WW1, a lot of stuff was produced afterwards for newsreels/propaganda.
Yep I agree the power of Google for me and knowledge for others confirms my b is wrong .
