Butcher of the Somme
Sir Douglas Haig is a controversial figure in World War I history, often described as both a butcher and a hero. Critics label him a butcher due to the massive casualties during battles like the Somme and Passchendaele, which they argue were the result of his flawed tactics and disregard for soldiers' lives. Supporters, however, view him as a hero who played a crucial role in leading the British Army to eventual victory, adapting strategies over the course of the war and contributing to the eventual defeat of the Central Powers. Ultimately, his legacy is complex, reflecting both the harsh realities of war and the challenges of military leadership.
He was called 'The Butcher of the Somme'. Some Germans said in World War 1 that 'The British are lions led by asses'. General Haig led the battle of the somme. some say he was a good general. some say he was not. It was his fault billions died. He didn't seem to learn from his mistakes, he just repeated them.
He killed 20,000 men and injured over 35,000. He is now known as the butcher of the Somme because of all the young man he lead to death.
