1:00:26a charge that actually made it to the next trench..
1:00:28this crap still happens in todays battles people go nuts sitting in trenches
1:00:28Straight up hand to hand combat.
1:00:30they had to get close enough to throw grenades
1:00:32sending them just running is a common strategy, worked in Omaha beach too
1:00:33reminder that at the start of the war the british still fought in single file lines colonial style
1:00:35sometimes their own artillery would fire on them to get them to move
1:00:35melee in the trenches brutal
1:00:37the sound design is really good
1:00:39they would sharpen the edges of those shovels
1:00:40close quarters was especially brutal
1:00:40That's how the war was fought back then
1:00:41The war when everyone has a Maxim gun
1:00:42based on ww2 happening we know who wins here
1:00:45WW1 was really something else, man.
1:00:46All over one duke btw :loudly_crying_face:
1:00:47Throw enough guys at the problem and they'll run out of ammo eventually.
1:00:49this is the meat grinder. overwhelm in number to breach the line
1:00:50you think this was bad the modern day exists
1:00:50clog the machine guns with the dead
1:00:52In WW1, both sides believed that the way to win was a massive charge on the enemy trench. It never worked, but they kept trying. Stormtroopers were later in WW1.
1:00:57thats a violation of humanity
1:00:58E-tools, knives, clubs, and bayonets.
1:01:01They didn't exactly have the most accurate of long-ranged weapons. Not like they were carpet bombing locations. Just had to get in there and do it.
1:01:06everyone is allergic to using their guns for some reason
1:01:07They’re not using the bayonets but the butt? What
