- 0:48Speaker 1: get into today's story. On the morning of August third,
- 1:04Speaker 1: nineteen fifteen, during World War One, a twenty one year
- 1:07Speaker 1: old Russian soldier named Vladimir Kotlinsky looked out from behind
- 1:12Speaker 1: the huge stone walls of Osovitch Fortress in Poland. Out
- 1:15Speaker 1: in front of him, he saw the same landscape he
- 1:18Speaker 1: had been looking at for the last six months that
- 1:20Speaker 1: he had been stationed at this fortress. It was a
- 1:23Speaker 1: big swampy forest that surrounded.
- 1:25Speaker 2: Them on all sides.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Additionally, in this swampy forest around them on all sides
- 1:31Speaker 1: were dozens and dozens of trenches. Trenches are long, deep
- 1:36Speaker 1: pits that soldiers will dig to both hide inside of
- 1:39Speaker 1: when they're being attacked and then also to launch their
- 1:42Speaker 1: own attacks out of from behind their dirt walls.
- 1:45Speaker 2: And these trenches that.
- 1:46Speaker 1: Zigged and zagged all around Ossovich Fortresses were created by
- 1:50Speaker 1: and now occupied by seven thousand German soldiers, and during
- 1:55Speaker 1: World War One, the Russians were fighting the Germans. The
- 1:58Speaker 1: Germans really wanted to take Osovitch Fortress from the Russians.
- 2:02Speaker 1: It was in a great strategic position with a railway
- 2:05Speaker 1: passing right through it. There was also a river nearby
- 2:09Speaker 1: and a main road, meaning whoever owned this fortress was
- 2:12Speaker 1: greatly aided in moving critical wartime supplies and troops in
- 2:17Speaker 1: a very hotly contested area. But despite the repeated attempts
- 2:22Speaker 1: by these seven thousand Germans to take over Ossovich Fortress
- 2:26Speaker 1: over the past six months, they had all been repelled
- 2:29Speaker 1: by Vladimir and the puny nine hundred man Russian force
- 2:33Speaker 1: inside of the fortress. And so by that morning, August third,
- 2:37Speaker 1: nineteen fifteen, as Vladimir is looking out from the battlements
- 2:41Speaker 1: over the trenches in the marsh down below, it was
- 2:43Speaker 1: like both the Russians and the Germans had reached a
- 2:47Speaker 1: sort of stalemate where neither side was trying to attack
- 2:50Speaker 1: the other and neither side was leaving.
- 2:52Speaker 2: They were just kind of staying put and doing nothing.
- 2:55Speaker 1: In fact, over the last few weeks there had been
- 2:58Speaker 1: so little action from either side that the Russian soldiers
- 3:02Speaker 1: inside the fortress got so bored they began sneaking out
- 3:05Speaker 1: the side door of the fortress to try to catch
- 3:08Speaker 1: fish with their bare hands in the nearby river. But
- 3:11Speaker 1: this morning, as Vladimir stood atop the wall, he noticed
- 3:15Speaker 1: something strange happening in one of the trenches that was
- 3:18Speaker 1: located closest to the fortress.
- 3:20Speaker 2: It was still several hundred.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Feet away, but he could see clearly down into this trench,
- 3:25Speaker 1: and what he saw was there was this cluster of
- 3:27Speaker 1: high ranking German officers that were kind of huddled together,
- 3:31Speaker 1: and they kept looking down at the ground at something
- 3:33Speaker 1: inside of the trench that Vladimir couldn't see, and then
- 3:36Speaker 1: they would look up at the sky and kind of
- 3:38Speaker 1: wave their hands around, and then they'd look back down
- 3:40Speaker 1: at the ground below them. Now, Vladimir had no idea
- 3:43Speaker 1: what they were doing. I mean again, he could not
- 3:45Speaker 1: see what they were looking at in the trench, and
- 3:48Speaker 1: when he looked up into the sky where they seemed
- 3:50Speaker 1: to be looking, it just looked like a regular blue sky.
- 3:53Speaker 1: But whatever they were doing, it was making Vladimir feel nervous.
- 3:57Speaker 1: Vladimir was a young junior office, which meant he was
- 4:01Speaker 1: in charge of other soldiers, but because he was so new,
- 4:05Speaker 1: he lacked experience and credibility and so really wasn't considered
- 4:09Speaker 1: a serious leader within the army. And so Vladimir, as
- 4:13Speaker 1: he's watching this strange behavior, was concerned that if he
- 4:16Speaker 1: left now and told his superiors that he was worried
- 4:19Speaker 1: about the Germans because they were looking at the sky
- 4:22Speaker 1: funny and looking at the ground funny, that it would
- 4:24Speaker 1: make him look like he was being paranoid and not
- 4:27Speaker 1: a good leader. And so ultimately Vladimir just looked at
- 4:30Speaker 1: this cluster inside of the trench and decided, you know what,
- 4:33Speaker 1: they're not shooting at us. There's no attack happening, so
- 4:35Speaker 1: whatever they're doing, it can't be that big of a deal.
- 4:38Speaker 1: And lately no one's done anything, so why would that
- 4:41Speaker 1: change now? And so Vladimir left the walls of Ossovich
- 4:44Speaker 1: Fortress and went down below to hang out with his friends.
- 4:48Speaker 1: Three days later, that four in the morning, the Russian
- 4:51Speaker 1: soldiers who were up along the Ossovich Fortress walls keeping
- 4:54Speaker 1: watch that night, noticed something strange out in the darkness
- 4:58Speaker 1: near where the Germans were. When they looked out, they
- 5:01Speaker 1: saw that the dark night air almost looked kind of
- 5:04Speaker 1: blurry or wavy, kind of like if you were looking
- 5:07Speaker 1: at air coming off of hot pavement on a sunny day,
- 5:10Speaker 1: it would look kind of blurry. That's what the night
- 5:12Speaker 1: sky looked like to them. But of course it couldn't
- 5:15Speaker 1: be because of heat and sun. Because it's the morning,
- 5:17Speaker 1: it's cold, it's dark outside, And so as these Russians
- 5:21Speaker 1: are looking out, not sure what to make of this
- 5:23Speaker 1: blurry air, they began calling up more Russians to go
- 5:27Speaker 1: have a look and figure out what this was. And
- 5:29Speaker 1: over the next couple of minutes, as the Russians looked
- 5:31Speaker 1: out from behind the walls. At this air, they realized
- 5:35Speaker 1: what it was.
- 5:36Speaker 2: It was this huge.
- 5:37Speaker 1: Grayish green cloud that was as wide as the fortress was,
- 5:41Speaker 1: and the wind was blowing it in their direction. Now,
- 5:44Speaker 1: the Russian soldiers had no idea what this was, and
- 5:47Speaker 1: so they just kind of stood there watching it in
- 5:50Speaker 1: stunned silence. And as they watched, they saw as the
- 5:54Speaker 1: cloud would touch any vegetation like leaves on trees or
- 5:57Speaker 1: the high grass in the marsh, it would all turn
- 6:00Speaker 1: black and shrivel up. And then the soldiers began hearing
- 6:03Speaker 1: a soft thump thump thump, thump, thump, thump thump out
- 6:07Speaker 1: in the darkness, and it was the sound of birds
- 6:09Speaker 1: dying and falling to the ground that were inside of
- 6:12Speaker 1: this cloud. At this point, the Russians began to panic,
- 6:15Speaker 1: and they began to run to sound the alarm to
- 6:18Speaker 1: get the other soldiers up to prepare for an attack.
- 6:21Speaker 1: But as they did, they began to smell this very
- 6:23Speaker 1: harsh chemical smell coming into the fortress. And then before
- 6:27Speaker 1: long all the Russians could hear was the sound of
- 6:30Speaker 1: their comrades coughing. It would turn out that strange behavior
- 6:34Speaker 1: that Vladimir saw three days earlier of the German officers
- 6:38Speaker 1: huddled together, looking at the sky and then looking.
- 6:40Speaker 2: Down at the ground, and then back at the sky again.
- 6:42Speaker 1: What they were doing was preparing for a chemical attack
- 6:47Speaker 1: on Ossovich Fortress. On the ground, out of sight of
- 6:50Speaker 1: Vladimir were canisters containing the poisonous gas, and when the
- 6:54Speaker 1: officers would look up and put their hands up, they
- 6:57Speaker 1: were gauging if the wind was strong enough and in
- 7:00Speaker 1: the right direction to launch the attack. Now, three days
- 7:03Speaker 1: ago the wind had not been in their favor, but
- 7:07Speaker 1: this morning, at four am on August sixth, nineteen fifteen,
- 7:11Speaker 1: the wind had been in their favor and they had
- 7:13Speaker 1: released the gas. And this gas was quite possibly the
- 7:17Speaker 1: worst gas you could ever come up against on the battlefield.
- 7:21Speaker 1: It was a combination of chlorine gas and bromine gas.
- 7:25Speaker 1: On their own, chlorine and bromine are very toxic and
- 7:29Speaker 1: can kill you, but when you mix those two gases
- 7:32Speaker 1: it becomes exponentially more dangerous. The gas mixture binds to
- 7:37Speaker 1: moisture and then turns the moisture into hydrochloric acid, Meaning
- 7:43Speaker 1: if a person who did not have a gas mask
- 7:45Speaker 1: on came in contact with this poisonous gas, when they
- 7:49Speaker 1: inhaled it, it would literally fill their lungs with acid,
- 7:53Speaker 1: which would dissolve them from the inside out. And then
- 7:56Speaker 1: also the gas would get into their eyes and into
- 7:59Speaker 1: their nose, and the acid there would burrow holes into
- 8:02Speaker 1: their skull. And once you've come in contact with this gas,
- 8:06Speaker 1: there's nothing anybody can do to save you. You're gonna die,
- 8:10Speaker 1: except it's gonna take a really really long time. You
- 8:15Speaker 1: don't just immediately dissolve. It's this long, drawn out, excruciatingly
- 8:21Speaker 1: painful process. By this point in World War One, chemical
- 8:25Speaker 1: warfare was really not being used by anybody, and so
- 8:28Speaker 1: as a result, the Russian Army did not outfit their
- 8:31Speaker 1: soldiers with gas masks. The German army did, and they
- 8:35Speaker 1: knew the Russian Army did not. So as this horrific
- 8:39Speaker 1: poisonous gas began permeating every square inch of Ossovich Fortress,
- 8:45Speaker 1: all of these Russian soldiers had nothing they could do
- 8:48Speaker 1: to protect themselves from this gas. And so right away
- 8:52Speaker 1: soldiers began bleeding from their eyes and their mouths and
- 8:55Speaker 1: their ears, and they literally began coughing up chunks of
- 8:59Speaker 1: their lung and so very quickly the Russians inside the
- 9:02Speaker 1: fortress understood they were being poisoned, and so the soldiers
- 9:06Speaker 1: that were not as affected, at least not right away
- 9:09Speaker 1: by this gas quickly began ripping off their shirts, dunking
- 9:13Speaker 1: them in water, and wrapping them around their heads to
- 9:16Speaker 1: try to limit how much they breathed in of this chemical.
- 9:19Speaker 1: But it really didn't do much to stop the chemical.
- 9:21Speaker 1: In fact, these makeshift gas masks might have made it
- 9:25Speaker 1: worse because the gas would have bound to the moisture
- 9:28Speaker 1: on the shirt. And so the Russians were totally doomed.
- 9:32Speaker 1: They were surrounded on all sides outside the walls by
- 9:35Speaker 1: their enemy, and then inside the fortress was this gas,
- 9:39Speaker 1: and there was no ventilation in the fortress, and so
- 9:41Speaker 1: there was nowhere to go. They couldn't escape death no
- 9:44Speaker 1: matter where they went. And so Vladimir, he was one
- 9:46Speaker 1: of the guys that was still on his feet inside
- 9:49Speaker 1: of the fortress, and he stumbled over to this narrow
- 9:52Speaker 1: window on the side of the fortress walls, and he
- 9:55Speaker 1: looked out and he saw all these Germans running towards them,
- 9:58Speaker 1: hiring their machine guns, a tillery's being fired. I mean,
- 10:01Speaker 1: he knows they are moments away from the Germans reaching
- 10:05Speaker 1: the fortress door, coming inside, and killing every last one
- 10:09Speaker 1: of them. But Vladimir's reaction to this was not being
- 10:12Speaker 1: scared or being sad. Instead, he suddenly felt incredibly motivated.
- 10:18Speaker 1: If they're going to come in here and kill us,
- 10:20Speaker 1: then we're going to make it as hard as humanly possible. First,
- 10:23Speaker 1: Vladimir had a reputation for being totally fearless over the
- 10:27Speaker 1: past six months that they had been under siege from
- 10:30Speaker 1: the German army out in their trenches. Anytime fighting broke out,
- 10:33Speaker 1: Vladimir was always the first to run up and be
- 10:36Speaker 1: right on the front line of fighting, and then several
- 10:39Speaker 1: times when his comrades had been shot or wounded, Vladimir
- 10:42Speaker 1: would run out into the line of fire to save
- 10:45Speaker 1: the fallen soldiers.
- 10:46Speaker 2: It was like Vladimir lacked any.
- 10:48Speaker 1: Instinct for self preservation, and so as the Germans continued
- 10:52Speaker 1: their run towards the fortress, artillery.
- 10:54Speaker 2: Shells are hitting the walls.
- 10:56Speaker 1: There's constant gunfire, and Vladimir he leaves his window arches
- 11:00Speaker 1: back over to the open courtyard inside of this fortress,
- 11:03Speaker 1: where the one hundred or so others still living Russian
- 11:06Speaker 1: soldiers were.
- 11:07Speaker 2: I mean, they're all gonna die.
- 11:08Speaker 1: They've been totally poisoned by this gas, and it's just
- 11:11Speaker 1: a matter.
- 11:11Speaker 2: Of time now.
- 11:13Speaker 1: But they're still on their feet, and Vladimir walks over
- 11:15Speaker 1: to them, and even though again he's pretty junior, he
- 11:18Speaker 1: stands up and he says to them, this is our moment.
- 11:22Speaker 1: We are all going to die, but what we do
- 11:24Speaker 1: right now will define us. And the way Vladimir said it,
- 11:28Speaker 1: he got those hundred soldiers who were on death's door
- 11:31Speaker 1: to be so motivated so quickly that they rallied to him.
- 11:35Speaker 1: And so as these men are literally bleeding out of
- 11:38Speaker 1: their eyes, their mouths, they're coughing up pieces of their lung,
- 11:41Speaker 1: Vladimir explained the plant. And then moments later, with Vladimir
- 11:45Speaker 1: in the front, this gaggle of soon to die Russian
- 11:48Speaker 1: soldiers charged towards the gates, opened the fortress and began
- 11:53Speaker 1: running out towards the Germans, screaming with their bayonets lower. Now,
- 11:58Speaker 1: the Germans on the outside fully expected that this chemical
- 12:02Speaker 1: attack would kill all of the Russians, that taking Ossovich
- 12:06Speaker 1: Fortress would be super routine because when they walked in,
- 12:09Speaker 1: everybody would be dead, and so suddenly to have the
- 12:12Speaker 1: fortress open and have these men that are covered in
- 12:15Speaker 1: bloody rags and they're puking up pieces of their organs,
- 12:18Speaker 1: and they're stumbling forward like zombies with bayonets out, screaming
- 12:22Speaker 1: like banshees.
- 12:23Speaker 2: It scared the living shit out of the Germans.
- 12:27Speaker 1: In fact, they were so quickly terrified by what they
- 12:31Speaker 1: saw they literally dropped their guns, turned and began running.
- 12:36Speaker 2: Back towards their trenches.
- 12:37Speaker 1: And as they did, Vladimir and his dead Man army
- 12:41Speaker 1: began picking off the Germans one by one. And then
- 12:43Speaker 1: after Vladimir and the dead Man Army ran out of ammunition,
- 12:47Speaker 1: they just continued staggering forward directly into the thousands of
- 12:52Speaker 1: Germans in front of them, and began picking up dead
- 12:55Speaker 1: German weapons and firing them. And then when they got
- 12:57Speaker 1: up to the trenches where these retreats, Germans had been
- 13:00Speaker 1: so scared they had run into their own barbed wire.
- 13:04Speaker 1: And so there's all these retreating Germans stuck on the
- 13:06Speaker 1: barbed wire. The Russians just began bayoneting all these men
- 13:10Speaker 1: that were stuck. And so at some point, as Vladimir
- 13:13Speaker 1: is doing this, a German soldier ran up to him
- 13:16Speaker 1: and bayoneted Vladimir right in the stomach. He ran him
- 13:19Speaker 1: all the way through until the barrel of the gun
- 13:21Speaker 1: was right up against his stomach, and Vladimir apparently looked
- 13:25Speaker 1: down at this bayonet knew he had been completely run through,
- 13:28Speaker 1: and he looked up.
- 13:29Speaker 2: At the German who had just stabbed him.
- 13:31Speaker 1: He was still holding the gun, and Vladimir spit blood
- 13:34Speaker 1: and lung tissue all over this German's face and then
- 13:37Speaker 1: just began streaming directly at the sky. And so the
- 13:40Speaker 1: German was so scared he just dropped the gun, turned
- 13:43Speaker 1: tried to run, and then Vladimir was back on his
- 13:46Speaker 1: gun with the bayonets still in his stomach, shooting at
- 13:49Speaker 1: the Germans. The Germans were so completely caught off guard
- 13:53Speaker 1: and terrified by Vladimir's dead man army counterattack that even
- 13:58Speaker 1: though they outnumbered the Ussians seventy to one, they failed
- 14:03Speaker 1: to take Ossovitch Fortress. The main reason for that was
- 14:06Speaker 1: the Germans, who had escaped the counter attack and made
- 14:09Speaker 1: it back to their trenches. They told the other German
- 14:12Speaker 1: soldiers that the Russians had turned into zombies, literally, that
- 14:17Speaker 1: they were undead, and so attacking them was pointless. They're
- 14:20Speaker 1: already dead, and the Germans were so scared they refused
- 14:23Speaker 1: to leave their trenches again. Once the Russians could tell
- 14:26Speaker 1: they had successfully forced a retreat by the German army, Vladimir,
- 14:31Speaker 1: who was still alive at this point, with a gun
- 14:33Speaker 1: still stuck in his gut from the bayonet, he called
- 14:35Speaker 1: out to the rest of his soldiers to retreat back
- 14:38Speaker 1: to the fortress. And so this handful of Russian soldiers
- 14:42Speaker 1: who were about to die, they hobbled their way back
- 14:45Speaker 1: inside of their fortress, and then Vladimir gave his final command,
- 14:49Speaker 1: destroy the fortress. If we can't have it, nobody can.
- 14:52Speaker 1: Every single Russian soldier that came in contact with that
- 14:56Speaker 1: poisonous gas died, including Vladimir, when the Germans did eventually
- 15:01Speaker 1: take Osovich Fortress at a later date, when again all
- 15:04Speaker 1: of the Russians were dead. When the Germans went inside,
- 15:07Speaker 1: they realized the fortress had been destroyed and it was
- 15:10Speaker 1: no longer strategically valuable. Vladimir would be awarded posthumously Russia's
- 15:15Speaker 1: highest military honor. His actions and the actions of the
- 15:18Speaker 1: other dying soldiers that fought alongside him are remembered today
- 15:22Speaker 1: in stories songs and statues.
- 15:25Speaker 2: All across Russia.
- 15:35Speaker 1: Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. That's how much you
- 15:39Speaker 1: all contributed to Dave Hartsock's GoFundMe page after we covered
- 15:43Speaker 1: his story on our YouTube channel. Dave is the heroic
- 15:46Speaker 1: skydiver who sacrificed his body to save his student. Now
- 15:50Speaker 1: because of that, Dave is totally paralyzed and fully dependent.
- 15:54Speaker 2: On his mother to take care of him.
- 15:55Speaker 1: I spoke to Dave after all this money came in,
- 15:58Speaker 1: and to say he's happy is such an understatement. I mean,
- 16:01Speaker 1: this literally changed his life and it's because of you.
- 16:04Speaker 1: But as awesome as that is, our work is not done.
- 16:07Speaker 1: There are other very deserving people that really could use
- 16:11Speaker 1: our help. And one group in particular that really needs
- 16:14Speaker 1: attention are the victims of violent crime as well as
- 16:17Speaker 1: their families, and that is where the Mister ball And
- 16:20Speaker 1: Foundation comes into play. Within days of the Uvalde Elementary
- 16:24Speaker 1: School shooting, the Mister ball And Foundation sent one hundred
- 16:28Speaker 1: and fifty thousand dollars to support victims and their families,
- 16:31Speaker 1: and going forward, we will continue to support them as
- 16:34Speaker 1: long as they need support. This year, in addition to
- 16:37Speaker 1: all the donations we expect to receive Our company ball
- 16:41Speaker 1: In Studios.
- 16:41Speaker 2: Which is a separate entity.
- 16:43Speaker 1: Is going to be giving one million dollars to the
- 16:45Speaker 1: Mister ball And Foundation and all of it will go
- 16:49Speaker 1: to the costs.
- 16:49Speaker 2: We are not taking any money.
- 16:51Speaker 1: For profit in Mister ball And Foundation. Truly, one hundred
- 16:55Speaker 1: percent of donations that go into that foundation go to
- 16:59Speaker 1: the cause.
- 16:59Speaker 2: If we don't know this, that is very rare for
- 17:02Speaker 2: most charities.
- 17:03Speaker 1: Usually you got to pull money to pay for the organization.
- 17:07Speaker 2: Not for us, it is one hundred percent.
- 17:09Speaker 1: You give money to the Mister Ballin Foundation, it goes
- 17:12Speaker 1: right out the door to victims of violent crime and
- 17:15Speaker 1: their families. So if you want to join forces with
- 17:18Speaker 1: me and the Mister Ballin Foundation and genuinely make a
