They were so hard to attack because you had soldiers in them shooting at you. While in the trenches the soldiers were almost invulnerable to gunfire. The only way to attck a trench was for the other side to leave there trench, run through No Man's Land, the center wasteland between the two opposing trenches. You would run from crater to crater created artillery fire trying to avoid getting shot by the enemy or even your old team. You were considered lucky to makee to one of these craters, or foxholes, in one piece. from there you would charge straight towards the enemy trench trying not to get shot. That was an almost inpossible thing to do. If you got in the trench you would need to move through and kill everyone. If you made it that far you would be by yourself because most likely the rest of your squad died. Once in a trench you could not fire straight down it to kill everyone because most trenches were dug in a zigzag formation mainly to prevent that. By doing this trying to attcak an enemy trench, you were going on a suicide mission.

Because Russia was an extremely difficult country to attack due to its size. The German attack on Russia is part of why they lost the WW2
A lunar trench is called a Rille (the German word for groove).
The Somme was a difficult place to attack because the area was very hilly up towards Belgium way. Basically, the Germans held the higher ground, and the British the lower. The Germans had been settled into this trench for 2 years already and had been reinforcing the wire in front of the trench, setting up multiple machine guns, digging dug-outs 40ft under ground. So whenever the British went over the top, the British and French had to get up the hill and were shot down, if they were lucky enough to reach the enemy's trench, it would be difficult to get through the barbed wire and make themselves an easy target. Also, whenever the British bombarded the German trenches with shells, etc, the Gemans hid in their dug-puts safely, without hardly anyone dying! The weather meant that shell holes on the journey up to the German trench would fill with water and turn into mud, also making it harder for the British. Hope this helps!

Two totally different things. -Air raid shelters were used by British civilians under air attack during WW2. - Trench warfare was what Allied troops did during WW1 when muddy trenches were their only shelter from German shelling.
difficult = schwierig
Angriff
Only the German Army had flamethrowers during WWI, and they were rarely useful because of the trench warfare style of battle. In 1915 the German Army developed some 6-man Flammenwerferapparaten teams and they participated in several hundred battles but with little effect. The primitive equipment was difficult to use and limited to a maximum range of about 60 feet (18 m). Stepping out of your trench with your Flammenwerfer was asking to get blown up in a ball of flame before you could get near the enemy's trench.
