This history video shows the first days of the battle of Verdun.
It starts with german artillery barrage followed by infantry attack.
French suffered huge losses and could hold position for thee days.
No reinforcements, no french artillery...
On the 25th of February 1916 there was no any "trench war" anymore. Open space. Germans broke through. No trenches, no barbed wires, no machine gun nests open field to Verdun and Paris.
This was the result of the first German strike.
