Verdun
21 Feb-18 Dec 1916 — Falkenhayn attacks a fortress France cannot abandon, intending attrition itself as the goal. Ten months, ~300,000 dead on the two sides, nine villages erased forever — and the recoil bleeds Germany white too. “Ils ne passeront pas.”
This is one scene of Chapter 5 — The Furnaces in The Great War, 1914–1918.
