What were the effects of the battle of the Somme?
Because the ideas & plans of the Generals that sent the men over the top were far rmoved from the advances that technology had made in terms of the ability of the defenders to slaughter en masse the attackers moving slowly across no mans land. The truth is that the Generals always fight this war with the ideas trhat prevailed in the previous conflict. That is what History offers as the best laid plan. But it does not move with the times. The machine guns of the German defenders reaped a terrible harvest that no amount of individual bravery could be expected to counter. The attackers were in fact sent to their deaths with little prospect of achieving very much at all: What does it matter whether the front line is here or 2 miles over there ? It was a strategic irrelevance, tactically it was inept. But that is so easy to say with hindsight, what else was to be done at the time ?
