The Battle of Verdun - They Shall Not Pass I THE GREAT WAR - Week 83
The Germans start the biggest battle in history with an artillery barrage of over 1000 guns on a 20 km front. The Battle of Verdun is the first major German offensive since the Race to the Sea and Erich von Falkenhayn has high hopes to break through the French lines. Right before the offensive starts, the French are able to reinforce their defences, so they are barely able to hold the line. The French credo is: lls ne passeront pas! – they shall not pass!

A Day Trip To The Verdun Battlefield | Euro Trip 2018 Pt8
We take a day trip to the site of the Battle of Verdun, to The Ossuary memorial, the destroyed village of Douaumont, and to Fort Douaumont,
From Wikipedia:
During the 300 days of the Battle of Verdun (21 February 1916 – 19 December 1916) approximately 230,000 men died out of a total of 700,000 casualties (dead, wounded and missing). The battle became known in German as Die Hölle von Verdun (English: The Hell of Verdun), or in French as L'Enfer de Verdun, and was conducted on a battlefield covering less than 20 square kilometers
The ossuary is a memorial containing the remains of both French and German soldiers who died on the Verdun battlefield. Through small outside windows, the skeletal remains of at least 130,000 unidentified combatants of both nations can be seen filling up alcoves at the lower edge of the building.
Douaumont is a commune in the Meuse department in Grand Est in north-eastern France. The village was destroyed during World War I.
Fort Douaumont (French Fort de Douaumont) was the largest and highest fort on the ring of 19 large defensive works which had protected the city of Verdun, France since the 1890s. By 1915, the French General Staff had concluded that even the best-protected forts of Verdun could not resist bombardments from the German 420 mm (16.5 in) Gamma guns. These new super-heavy howitzers had easily taken several large Belgian forts out of action in August 1914. Fort Douaumont and other Verdun forts were judged ineffective and had been partly disarmed and left virtually undefended since 1915. On 25 February 1916, Fort Douaumont was entered and occupied without a fight by a small German raiding party comprising only 19 officers and 79 men. The easy fall of Fort Douaumont, only three days after the beginning of the Battle of Verdun, shocked the French Army. It set the stage for the rest of a battle which lasted nine months, at enormous human cost. Douaumont was finally recaptured by three infantry divisions of the Second Army, during the First Offensive Battle of Verdun on 24 October 1916. This event brought closure to the battle in 1916.

World War One - The Battle of Verdun (HD Color)
The battle of Verdun was one of the longest and deadliest battles in Human History. The German plan was to break the French lines on what was believe a lightly defend sector. However the French Defense proved to be troublesome for the German storm troops, but they still made progress, leaving heavily causalities on both sides. These defenses however gave time for the French to start planning counterattacks, and setting up supply routes to the area of battle leading to a bitter French Victory.

The History:
In February 1916, the infamous Battle of Verdun started with an overwhelming artillery bombardment by the Germans. The Germans were able to advance for a couple of kilometers but were soon met with heavy French resistance. However, the fortress of Douamont was taken by the Germans without having to fire a single bullet, since the French garrison had evacuated the place prior to the attack. But the French wouldn't just accept the loss of the fort and ordered several attacks to retake it. It wasn't until October that they managed to recapture it, after the Germans had been heavily weakened by a fire and been pounded by railway guns for days. The Battle of Verdun raged on until December, after which little to no gains had been made by any side. Verdun would become a symbol of the horrors and the pointlessness of the Great War.
The picture at the end of the video was taken by me at the Douamont Ossuary cemetery which I visited during my bike-trip along the Western Front last summer.

Scary! Verdun battlefield ghosts? Geister? Bajonettegraben -Bayonet trench -Tranchée des baïonnettes
Merkwürdige Beobachtung am menschenleeren Bajonettgraben...März 2015.Die Legende lebt weiter. Strange observation on deserted bayonet Trench...March 2015. The legend lives on.
Bayonet Trench Verdun: Among many revered memorials on the battlefield is the Bayonet Trench, which marks the location where some dozen bayonets lined up in a row were discovered projecting out of the ground after the war; below each rifle was the body of a French soldier. It has been assumed that these belonged to a group of soldiers who had rested their rifles against the parapet of the trench they were occupying when they were killed during a bombardment, and the men were buried where they lay in the trench and the rifles left untouched. However, this is probably not historically accurate: experts agree that the bayonets were probably affixed to the rifles after the attack, and installed by survivors to memorialize the spot.
(Source: Wikipedia)
Bajonettegraben Verdun: Nach dem Krieg wurde östlich einer kleinen Schlucht am Thiaumont, die „Ravin de la Mort“ (Totenschlucht) genannt wurde, ein Graben entdeckt, aus dem die Spitzen der aufgepflanzten Bajonette der Soldaten herausragten. Untersuchungen ergaben, dass die Soldaten tatsächlich noch Kontakt zu ihren Gewehren hatten. In den 1930er-Jahren wurde eine Legende aufgebaut, dass diese Soldaten des französischen 137. Infanterieregimentes während Angriffsvorbereitungen auf das Zwischenwerk Thiaumont lebendig und stehend durch eine Granate verschüttet worden waren. Die Aussagen eines Leutnants der 3. Kompanie, der die Soldaten angehörten, ergab ein völlig anderes Bild: „Die Soldaten waren während eines deutschen Vorstoßes am Morgen des 13. Juni 1916 gefallen und in ihrem Graben liegen geblieben. Die Deutschen beerdigten sie (sie schütteten den Graben zu) und ihre Gewehre dienten als Markierung der Grabstelle.“ Eine Exhumierung 1920 bestätigte seine Erklärung: Keine der sieben Leichen stand aufrecht, vier konnten nicht identifiziert werden. Heute ist der Ort in dem Denkmal La Tranchée des Baïonnettes zu besichtigen, das von einem amerikanischen Industriellen errichtet wurde. Bis vor einigen Jahren waren an manchen der Ruhestätten des Bajonettgrabens noch die einzelnen Bajonette vorhanden beziehungsweise zu sehen. Inzwischen ragen dort keine Bajonette mehr aus der Erde (sie wurden von pietätlosen „Andenkensammlern“ abgebrochen), jedoch sind an einzelnen der Ruhestätten noch die Mündungen der Gewehre mit der Arretierung der Bajonette zu sehen. Teilweise sind diese auf Bodenniveau heute in Beton eingefasst, um sie vor weiterem Vandalismus zu bewahren. (Quelle:Wikipedia)
