Trench Hell

1101_WW1_PAINTING_lge

"Trench fighting is the bloodiest, wildest, most brutal of all … Of all the war’s exciting moments, none is so powerful as the meeting of two storm troop leaders between narrow trench walls. There’s no mercy there, no going back, the blood speaks from a shrill cry of recognition that tears itself from one’s breast like a nightmare."

Ernst Jünger, Storm of Steel
