At 5:10 a.m. on November 11th, 1918, the First World War was officially over. But the killing didn’t stop.

Six hours later, as clocks edged toward eleven, men were still being ordered forward. Shells were still falling. Machine guns were still firing. And across Europe, soldiers who had survived four years of industrial slaughter were killed in the final minutes — some seconds — before peace.

In this episode of The Dark History Podcast, we narrow the lens to those last moments. We follow the final soldiers killed by Britain, France, the United States, Canada, and Germany — men who endured the entire war only to die when it no longer mattered. George Edwin Ellison. Augustin Trébuchon. Henry Gunther. George Lawrence Price. Names tied not to victory or defeat, but to timing.

This isn’t a story about treaties or triumph. It’s about delay. Obedience. And a war that refused to end cleanly.

Because when the guns finally fell silent, the world moved on — and left these men behind.
