While pilots had more comforts than the trench soldiers, they also had a higher fatality rate. About 10% of infantry soldiers who served in the British army were killed; and 20% of Combat pilots died.
I do not believe that trench warfare was successful as a strategy because it made both sides sitting targets for disease and artillery fire. During times of the year when cold weather and rainy conditions were common, the trenches would fill with water and soldiers would be at risk of trench foot.
through trench warfare, and in offensives it would be... barrage, over the top , slaughter.
Trench foot was a common ailment during World War I. It came from wearing shoes that were constantly wet. Trench foot would have been extremely painful until the feet went numb. After that, gangrene would set in.
During World War I, soldiers suffered injuries from the enemy's weapons, from natural forces, and sometimes even from their own forces through accidents and "friendly-fire" incidents. Perhaps most unknown to casual observers of the conflict, disease and other bodily afflictions accounted for much of the suffering of the soldiers on both sides of the war.
The correct name for "trench foot" is Immersion foot. This occurs when the feet are constantly kept wet for a prolonged period of time. An example of this was during World War One, where soldiers in the trenches would be stood most of the time in pools of water. This was also the origins of the name "trench foot".
Yes. However, you will not use lead based solder as it is to soft. It would need to use "silver solder" and a small, high energy gas torch - If the pins are end on the weld will be rather fragile

Stay in the freaking trench!
The opposite of a trench would be an embankment, berm, or dike.(the opposite of a marine trench is a seamount or ridge)

Almost all the oceans have sheer drops and rather flat areas so one isn't inherently steeper then another. however the largest and steepest drop would most likely be in the Mariana trench, more specifically the challenger deep the deepest part of the trench, it is effectively a 90 degree drop nearly 7 miles deep. This trench is located in the Pacific ocean so that would have to be my answer
When you come to this trench, swim through it, not over it.

A Conductor, SOLDER IS NOT AN INSULATOR. The most common types of solder are made of tin and lead. Another type is silver solder. All of the materials used are metals and are good conductors of both heat and electricity. If you solder something you would notice if you ever held a wire (without protection) while applying solder to it your finger would probably receive a burn (speaking from experience).
