Civil War 1864: A Virtual Reality Experience, On Patrol

The opposing forces crave information on one another and both sides send troops from the relative safety of their trenches out between the lines to gain information, capture prisoners or exact revenge. The men from the previous trench scenes leave their tranches on the dangerous assignment. One kicks over his coffee pot in anger. The men meet in the nearby woods with deadly consequences. A young Confederate is captured and taken back toward union lines amidst screaming artillery rounds.

I was confused as to why the person recording wasn’t looking around for longer than I’m proud to admit. I didn’t know youtube could do this! Amazing.

[TheOnlyPommyman]

This was extremely good. A great way to see how these soldiers experienced their war.

Wow...that was incredible! Thanks for making the effort to film this. I hope more battlefield history can be presented in such a format. Very educational!

[jqwrrus]

What a great video! REALLY LOVED IT. Thank you so much!

[rockytoprelics]

These videos are spectacular! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for this effort. What's striking is how this series illustrates how combat morphed away from linear lines to more battle in late 1864. Attacks on fixed, entrenched positions, small unit patrols to gather intelligence.

I am so impressed how you guys from this I don’t know how you did it it’s so amazing I don’t know I just don’t understand it.

[landeny]

Well that’s the next evolution of what’s possible with YouTube. Well done!

[ColemanCanna]

Wow i really like the way this is done.

[HemlockRidge]

Now this is cool and innovative. Had to watch it a couple of times to see it all.

[HydroSnips]

OMG I did not know YouTube could do this. It’s incredible! Was wondering why the text was cut off and why it was at an angle :D A really superb way of teaching history too! Amazing.

[paulstan]

That was amazing! Great job would like to demote like that. Thank you!

[andrewcarter]

Have experienced that in the Army of Northern Virginia in modern day reenacting in the UK.

[angeleyes]

I love it! But I can’t read the text it’s blurry please fix this

[christophera]

A very impressive video certainly better than any thing out of Hollywood in fact the movie industry could learn a thing or two from the makers of this video. Well done anyway.

[themaskedman]

I'd like to see a Waterloo version of this.

[richhoule]

Be great if the low battery noise wasn't beeping away!

[harrykuheim]

You don't take a blanket on Patrol...

[darylwilliams]

Incredible accomplishment. Except for one thing. These men are all FAR better dressed and less gaunt than the average confederate soldier by 1864. :)
