Playlist with several views of the same maps:
The video shows the front lines, leaving out the regions further south. About 85% of the overall map area is included, and the source graphics are rendered at a 60% zoom at the highest video resolution. The infobox and the date labels are redrawn in a consistent format across all frames, closely based on the original. The credit for producing the maps goes to Jean Michel Martin, the author of the Cartographie 1914 - 1918 website.
The songs represent the main belligerents on the Western Front, in order: Belgium, Germany, France, UK, US. They’ve been shortened to fit the time frame of the video.
For excellent coverage of the war and what came after check out the channels below. I am not affiliated with them or with Cartographie 1914 -1918 in any way.
