| "There are slopes on Hill 304 where the level of the ground is raised several metres by mounds of German corpses. Sometimes it happens that the third German wave uses the dead of the second wave as ramparts and shelters. It was behind ramparts of the dead left by the first five attacks, on May 24th, that we saw the Boches take shelter while they organized their next rush." - Diary of Unknown Soldier describing the attack on Dead Mans Hill (Verdun,France) 20-24 May 1916 |
