Episode 25: Walking Into Machine Guns

from WW1: Not So Quiet On The Western Front! · host Dan Hill and Dr. Spencer Jones

In this episode we’ll look at the highly controversial and often much misunderstood story of the frontal assault on the trenches of the Western Front. We’ll consider why and how it happened, if it was as haphazard and pointless as we are commonly led to believe and address the popular belief that allied commanders repeatedly sent brave men, walking, across no-man’s-land in futile attacks against enemy machine guns.
