Specificatii
Fought on the heights above the garrison town of the same name on
the River Meuse, 140 miles east of Paris, the Battle of Verdun
lasted for ten months, between February and December 1916, double
the length of the Battle of the Somme and over three times the
length of the Battle of Passchendaele. Conceived by the Germans as
a means of destroying the French army through attrition rather than
breakthrough and encirclement, the battle cost 300,000 lives.
Massed artillery was employed on a hitherto unprecedented scale;
the initial bombardment lasted for nine hours and saw 80,000 shells
fall on the French trench line, while on the ground the initial
attack saw the combat debut of storm-troop tactics and the man-pack
flamethrower. As the battle raged the combatants endured heat and
thirst akin to desert conditions together with bottomless mud as
bad as at Passchendaele. In addition, fixed defences like the forts
of Douaumont and Vaux sparked hellish underground fighting in
subterranean pitch darkness that occurred nowhere else on the
Western Front. The result was almost 200 square kilometres of
ground that had been blasted, ploughed and poisoned into a
wasteland by explosives and gas, so much so that the post-war
French authorities were unable to return it to its former
agricultural use and simply left it to the elements.
