Deadly battles of World War I S01 • E02 Verdun : The Nightmare

Narrated by David Ritchie the program looks at the spectre of the city of Verdun and the famous battle of the Great War. It was a famous "last outpost" for France in many previous wars and now again in 1915 it would become a place of nightmares. Here, like many of the other battles of this War, this was an "invisible war" where most of the killing was done by bombs and shrapnel. Dewey: 940.4 VER.
