The thing people forget about warfare is logistics, it is the most important aspect towards winning a war. You might have maginificent weapons but if you can't get them or the means for maintaining them or the soldiers who use them (not to mention the civilians who work to provide the soldiers with their gear - they got to eat too) then you're screwed. The Germans who were land locked with enemies on both sides of them always were starved of their logistical bases.

They had so much bully beef, they used to dig crates of the stuff under the wheels of their guns so that they were usable in the Flanders goo. He said that the German trenches always smelled like liverwurst. They smelled like liverwurst when they raided their trenches and the smell of liverwurst wafted across no man's land. He speculated that the Canadians all smelled like Bully Beef.

this is such a crock of shit. Who thought the brits would still be rolling out propaganda a hundred years after the war. the reality was that neither side was will fed. often, they had to resort to eating rats. At Verdun, passchendale, and other notoriously muddy locales they couldn't bring supplies up to the front. While starvation was never a significant problem, neither side had very much food. there's actually an account from a British soldier in a letter sent home to his sweetheart about how they ate rats. then when the rats ran out, or became to smart, they ate paper. finally they had to eat their own haversacks. some men ate their boots too, but the soldier writing was too scared on account of trench foot.

+Tyler Peters There is a little propaganda. It has nothing on US propaganda though. That is beyond belief. Every country is generally biased, but it seems Europe is more open than the US stuff.

[@TPeters321]

+chap0syoutuification This is blatant white washing of the reality of war and even downright lying. I don't know what Britain's obsession is with their narrative of WWI, but it's ridiculous and offensive to the men who gave their lives during the war. The BBC tries so hard to portray the Germans as the bad guys and Britain as the noble protector of Europe. Britain joined the war to capture German colonies and to destroy Germany's navy. That's it. Any other narrative is a blatant lie or falsehood. WWI was a senseless dick measuring contest that all sides should be ashamed of. You don't see German TV bragging about WWI. The war should be treated with the same tone and demeanor as a conversation on the Holocaust because that's all it really was.

[@rako5865]

Britain joined the war because germany violated Belgium's neutrality, you uneducated pleb!

[@Surv1ve_Thrive]

@ Tyler you are using extremes to make a point. Much of the war was not like Passchendale etc. Some logistic supply existed, railheads, ports,trucks, carts, Brits/allies rotated in and out of the front line trenches etc. You are going to extremes to say troops lived off rats and their own boots often. In extreme cases yes food was non existent. However the vwst majority of troops had some semblance of order at least, but their stories are often less interesting to many and some people only read the extreme cases.
