Reaching the Masses - Propaganda Film During World War 1 I THE GREAT WAR Special
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
Cinemas were already pretty popular when World War 1 broke out in 1914. After initial hesitation all waring nations started to embrace the new mass medium for their propaganda. Since it was technically difficult deliver the authentic material the audiences wanted, the films were mostly staged. Film scripts opened the opportunity to transport any message about the war to a mass audience.

the first war to be captured on moving film was the Boer war in south Africa
-
Discusting. It is such a shame that people were outright deceived by this.....BS. Nobody in the US saw how horrible the Brits were. Not rescuing the Zeppelin crew for one...
-
Will you insert proper subtitles in english (that would be so WONDERFUL! :-) ) ?
-
are some the video's you use in your show faked
-
@2:33 i noticed you guys labelled Denmark, Belgium, Luxemburg, and the Netherlands after someone commented in the last video about it not being labelled. :D
-
hey did u get my request about Newcastle upon tyne during the great war?
-
How to spot fake WWI footage from the real ones? It seems genuine/staged in the British Pathe footage.
Also, could you give me some examples of actual combat footage of WWI? -
I would like to see some real first world war footage
-
When you really think about it, it takes a pretty cold stone heart to see what the world (and the war) is like at the time, then to purposely create a more flowery version of it simply to make a buck or make people continue going into the slaughter. Grim..... Is there any numbers on how effective these films were in enlistment or morale at all for any side?
-
Von Strohm should get his own "Who Did What" episode, he was truly a legend
-
Very interesting, I was hoping you would do a piece on war films. Seems to me the film cameras of the day would essentially act as bullet magnets, the one of the German camera sticking so high out of the trench is a good example. Also the combat sequenced filmed using British and Canadian troops, do we know who played which side? I'm sure hoping the Canucks got the of the Allied army :)
-
Wikipedia says Malins died 1940. which is correct?
-
interesting Indy ty
-
This is why history is important folks. The elite are always trying to fool you into war!
-
No subtitles? :(
-
Yellow journalism came to its most evolved state in the Spanish/American War. Teddy Roosevelt and his "Rough Riders" never "charged up San Juan Hill". Check out the picture that made all the papers and you'll see it's Black American regular cavalry (a long and interesting story there) surrounding the self-proclaimed "great man". His rough riders never made it. Once a couple men from the rough riders saw wounded along the road they balked and would not advance until the hill was ours. Not brave, but certainly survivors.
African Americans had to make it safe for the pampered sons and daughters of influential white families to steal the photo ops. Just thought I'd point that out. -
These films are why without proper documentation people would think there were only battles during the day.
Just like with photos you'd assume people before the 20th century didn't know how to smile. -
Thnx for the episode. Made me think: how much of material especially photos and films were REALLY from the frontlines and how much of it were actually staged propaganda. Will sometime in the future someone will see a scene from fir example Black Hawk Down and think that was original frontline footage
-
@ 2:38 it kinda looks like a gopro and some toy soldiers ;)
-
Can't beat propaganda. Those dastardly (inset your favourite enemy)! I knew Von Strohm was the bad guy because he had a dodgy moustache. I can imagine people booing the screen when he appeared. By the way didn't Ludendorff take holidays in Belgium before the war? I'm just saying you know. ;)
