    I love the ending though in which the enemy just got up on his knees, and the men in the trenches does not shoot. Then the enemy nods his head as a way of showing his graciousness and thankfulness for not shooting him while the boy miraculously survived. And then the sky clears indicating the light at the other end of the tunnel. Some sign of humanity in the darkest hours.

      There's a book called "Bloody Red Tabs" that gives the details of all British senior officers killed or wounded in WW1. It's quite the tome. What you also have to remember is that right up until at least the first world war, quite a lot of those Generals (especially the British) had seen hand to hand combat in colonial wars as junior officers - and many WW2 generals had been frontline combat officers in WW1.

Of course, it was more complicated than that and many lived to regret that decision and besides he never had more than 34% of the vote but hey that’s another discussion)...they were as innocent as anyone else. What they got for their innocence was a militarized boyscout program, indoctrination and more indoctrination.

Many German soldiers were also drafted, such as my great grandfather in WW2. We should all respect the men and women that put their life and sanity on the line to fight for their country. That’s why I admire the American tradition of honoring your servicemen and women and your veterans as heroes, which they are. Here in Germany people have no respect for our soldiers and even talk bad about them for our involvement in Mali and co, which is still for a good cause. To the point of Hitler getting voted, that is absolutely true. The people that voted him were also super desperate, because the Great Depression and the Versailles treaty were really hard for the German people. I am absolutely disgusted by what we’ve done in WW2, but people have to understand the whole story before judging and blaming returning soldiers.

An old general went to the military academy where a lot of new recruits where gathered for their final ceremony and gave a speech and the young men joined him to actively try and join the Germans hell they even got a German colonial officer to come from a German colony to inspect our boys, however the main reason it failed was because of the general in charge wasn't the original pick for it the original one was accidentally shot dead by police when his driver didn't stop at a police checkpoint set up to try and catch a few bank robbers the stand in for the original pick didn't have the knowledge and experience to lead such a large army and after a few talks gave up and handed over the soldiers under him only one guy was hanged and it was some random guy who had joined them after running away from the place he was working as a guard.

    Fun fact, if we do the math, we find that each FOOT of land gained cost the Allies 12 lives. Just Allies. It cost about the same for Germany. That means each foot of land gained by the Allies in the battle of Passchendaele cost about 24 lives. 24 brothers, sons, fathers, husbands, and friends died for a 12 inches. That also means that 2 people died for an inch. An INCH. In my opinion, this was the most costly battle in history.

    Hear the sound of a machine gun
    Hear it echo in the night
    Mortals firing rains the scene
    Scars the fields
    That once were green
    It's a stalemate at the front line
    Where the soldiers rest in mud
    Roads and houses
    All is gone
    There is no glory to be won
    know that many men will suffer
    Know that many men will die
    Half a million lives at stake
    Ask the fields of Passchendaele
    And as the night falls the general calls
    And the battle carries on and on
    How long?
    What is the purpose of it all
    What's the price of a mile?
    Thousands of feet march to the beat
    It's an army on the march
    Long way from home
    Paying the price in young men's lives
    Thousands of feet march to the beat
    It's an army in despair
    Knee-deep in mud
    Stuck in the trench with no way out
    Thousands of machineguns
    Kept on firing through the night
    Mortars blazed and wrecked the scene
    Guns in the fields that once were green
    Still a deadlock at the front line
    Where the soldiers die in mud
    Roads and houses since long gone
    Still no glory has been won
    Know that many men has suffered
    Know that many men has died
    Six miles of ground has been won
    Half a million men are gone
    And as the men crawled the general called
    And the killing carried on and on
    How long?
    What's the purpose of it all?
    What's the price of a mile?
    Thousands of feet march to the beat
    It's an army on the march
    Long way from home
    Paying the price in young men's lives
    Thousands of feet march to the beat
    It's an army in despair
    Knee-deep in mud
    Stuck in the trench with no way out
    Young men are dying
    They pay the price
    Oh how they suffer
    So tell me what's the price of a mile
    That's the price of a mile.
    Thousands of feet march to the beat
    It's an army on the march
    Long way from home
    Paying the price in young men's lives
