Скачать или смотреть When the Air Turned Against Them — Facing the Green Cloud at Ypres | WW1 Tales | History for Sleep

A calm, cinematic story from the First World War — part of the Echoes of War: WW1 Tales series.
Narrated for reflection and rest — created as part of our History for Sleep collection.

On April 22, 1915, the Great War changed shape forever. This calm documentary drifts through the moments before the first chlorine attack at Ypres — strange cylinders in German trenches, officers studying the wind, and soldiers sensing a danger they cannot name. Then a pale green cloud rolls across the fields near Langemark, and the world unravels. Lungs burn. Eyes blind. Entire lines collapse without a single bullet.

You walk beside French colonial troops caught in the first wave, civilians fleeing as gas settles into low roads, and Canadian soldiers stepping into the breach through fading vapors and unbearable casualties. From this night onward, men watch the wind more than the enemy. Makeshift masks appear. Shells begin to carry poison. And the war sinks into a new, unseen terror.

One of the WW1 untold stories where fear has no shape — only color, breath, and silence.
