The term "Zombies" historically refers to soldiers, particularly during the Haitian Revolution, who were believed to be under the control of a sorcerer or voodoo practitioner, lacking free will and consciousness. This concept was later popularized in literature and media, often depicting them as mindless, undead beings. In a military context, the term has also been used metaphorically to describe soldiers who operate without questioning orders, exhibiting a robotic adherence to commands. Overall, "Zombies" evokes themes of loss of autonomy and the dehumanization of individuals in warfare.

Who were the zombies in World War I?

I suspected this might be some military unit's nickname, but can't turn up anything. But I do find a soon-to-be produced movie called Zombies of World War Z. Is that what you are asking about? Edit: I don't believe there were zombies in world war I....I believe you are asking about the zombies of world war II, which refers to the conscription crisis in Canada. Canada had difficulty in sending soldiers to fight in Europe, and they suggested that if people were willing to volunteer/join the army, then the government promised that they would not conscript those soldiers. However, they will still be part of the army and will be drafted to front-line security at home. Hence, this was a title used to describe soldiers who were in army, so technically they would be dead, yet, they were alive (because they weren't actually participating in war in Europe). But...as always...Canada lies and sends them to Europe anyway. Hope this helps!
