Soldiers placed dead bodies in the bottoms of trenches and on top of them primarily for strategic reasons during World War I. Bodies in the trenches could serve as crude barricades, providing some protection against enemy fire. Additionally, the grim practice was often a result of the chaotic conditions of trench warfare, where the rapid accumulation of casualties made proper burials difficult, leading to bodies being left in situ. This gruesome reality also highlighted the brutal and dehumanizing nature of trench warfare.
