This powerful video captures rare and haunting footage of World War I soldiers suffering from "shell shock" after returning home from the front lines. Their trembling limbs, vacant stares, and uncontrollable tics reveal the deep psychological wounds inflicted by the horrors of trench warfare. Without the modern understanding of PTSD, these men were often misunderstood or mistreated, making this footage a sobering window into the forgotten toll of war on the human mind.
