The Battle of Somme gave the world the standard for stupid, wanton and needless slaughter. Overly confident of an rapid advance, the British ordered their soldiers to walk slowly toward the German lines. The Germans who had found out the British game plan and were heavily fortified in their trenches, rained machine gun fire on the approaching British soldiers killing 20,000 and inflicting 60,000 casualties.
