Description
The Battle of Passchendaele, also known as the third Battle of Ypres, from late July to November 1917, is among the bloodiest and most horrific events of World War 1. Like the battles of Verdun or Somme, this conflict is synonymous with industrialised mass death on the Western Front. What was the everyday life of the ordinary British soldier like in the days of this battle? Was this extremely bloody offensive necessary, or were there real alternatives? What, if anything, did the battle at Passchendaele achieve? The author answers these and other interesting questions relating to the Third Battle of Ypres in a sound manner.
The reader gets a good impression of the planning, course and outcome of the Third Battle of Ypres and learns how the war unfolded in the fourth year of World War 1.
