[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1409531, member: 14585"] PBS - The Great War - American Experience 3 part series Film of a German army division marching through Brussels in August of 1914 on their way to France. 50,000 soldiers marching in lock step 10 abreast with horse and riders 5 abreast all very impressive. Row after row as far as the eye could see. Standing still, it would take a man on foot over 6 hours to travel it's length. On foot... what a way to travel to war. Later they showed American army in training marching in the states. You'd think all marching armies look about the same, but somehow the German army looked stouter and more disciplined than any other. Even their horses appeared more uniform. All nice and large, beautifully conditioned, dark brown and conservatively marked with some having a white star on their forehead or a blaze face. They must have appeared unbeatable to any seeing them on the move at the time. Allied fighting forces had a 3:2 advantage on the battle field, but could only hold them to a stalemate for most all of the war. [/QUOTE]
