my great grandpa fought in WWI on the german side. he said, often the two enemy sides became befriended after such a long time in those trenches. they began to trade, play cards together during cease-fire and when they had to fight again, one side would shoot, while the other side waits and the other way around :-) but of course this was not always the case...

3:12 i heard in WW1 American soldiers were on the front lines for only about 3 weeks, and then sent to backlines to be replaced by other soldiers, so they get less "worn out" by all the stress and it's the german soldiers who stayed at the front for extended periods of time. one plus of that was since german soldiers stayed in one place longer, they better protected the trenches from mud and water, so they were a bit more comfortable than allied soldier's trenches

During the Gallipoli campaign the smell was so bad from the rotting corpses sitting in the sun/heat and feces everywhere due to lack of latrines or access to them due to Turkish snipers, that many British soldiers kept their gas masks on just to hide from the smell. They also begged for large amounts of cigars and cigarettes to cover the smell as well.

Sometimes I wonder why it took so long to make the M50. Everything made before it was unbearably uncomfortable, foggy, hard to shoot in, and hard to breathe during intense cardio. The M50 has 1-2 canisters, depending on if you’re shooting or working. It has deflectors in all the right places that keep the visor fog free, and it doesn’t freeze your eyeballs in the cold. You can also swap canisters in a contaminated environment.
