@truthersRdumb if u notice its only the brits doing the killing, i understand that the offensive side takes more casualties, but that is mostly from getting gunned down on the way there. by the time the germans reach the trench it looks more like the W.W.E. + death than actual trench fighting
-
People do puzzle why the order to fire was not given, in this clip, until the Germans were very close but in the main you would take down more enemy with close range shooting than at distance. This would mean for an attacking force, that they would see a very high casualty rate in a very short space of time/distance, destroying moral and possibly ending the attack, as happens in this movie.
But at the end of the day people, it is only a movie!!!

More realistic how? Passchendaele was nothing more than a boggy mess after months of shelling, its irrigation and drainage system was destroyed. Close up and personal fighting like this, in the mud, was the way of things at many WW1 'fire-fights'. They did find that rifles were not the tool for the job BUT, mostly, it was all they had on both sides. It really did, at times, come down to guys hitting one another with spades, helmets, rocks and anything that came to hand.

@hiphofenemus ?????
You see Canadians dying too, plus this was a German attack, you would expect higher casualties on the attackers in trench warfare.
-
Why are these films show only germans dying? Strange.
-
@McBad48 It's all propaganda.
-
@LushForests yeah, but if they're going to make a war film the least they could do is make the fighting realistic, or at least somewhat. but no, they like to make films with "good guys" killing "bad guys" because that is what the naive public wants to see. and i don't need the condescending courtesy either.

0:30, must have had great dentists on the western front...
-
@McBad48 I will do you the courtesy of ignoring the first half of your rebuttal. I do agree with the second half however. Nothing can truly capture the horrors of war on a recreated film.
-
@LushForests shut up dumb ass, we could still say what we wanted to no matter who won... stop believing the bs propaganda, both sides sucked equally. but this footage is very unrealistic either way you look at it
