In honour of 700.000 killed...
Today's weather
isn't nice... There are clouds and we can't see the sky... It was raining in
the morning.. So I'm not I a very good mood...
I decided to say
you something about the very sad event... It was in 1916, exactly from 21st of
February to 20th of December 1916. Do you know what was it? No?
There was a big battle of Verdun.
The battle began at 07:15 on 21 February 1916 with a 10-hour artillery bombardment by 808 guns. German soliders launched an assault on 6-kilometers long section Haumont-Caures-Herbebois.
Battle had 6 phases. All of them were very brutal...
