Verdun: Inside One of WWI’s Most Devastating Battles I SLICE HISTORY | FULL DOCUMENTARY
From February to December 1916, the French and Germans waged one of the First World War’s most devastating battles in order to take control of the hills around Verdun. A head on confrontation, fought with no help from their allies, army versus army, nation versus nation. 11 months of fighting, over 2 million soldiers mobilised and 300,000 dead.
Today, this massacre seems senseless. But in 1916, soldiers on both sides accepted to go into battle. Why ?
