The story of the bloodiest battle of World War I. The British-French offensive on the Somme in northern France was intended to be a major breakthrough battle, as at the same time as this offensive, the French and Germans had already been fighting bitterly for months in the southwest around Verdun. The result of the Battle of the Somme was a slaughter lasting several months on a scale that had never been seen before. The author analyzes in detail the ideas and plans of the military decision-makers, the course of the battle from the preparatory barrage to the individual phases of the offensive, and, of course, the outcome of the months of slaughter.
