To combat boredom during World War I, soldiers engaged in various activities such as playing card games, writing letters, and reading books. They often organized sports and games to maintain morale and camaraderie. Additionally, many troops participated in informal entertainment, including music and storytelling, to distract themselves from the harsh realities of trench warfare. These activities provided a much-needed escape from the monotony and stress of their daily lives.
In WWII soldiers would hide behind their dead horses to protect themselves from the enemy. They would have a less chance of getting hit and so they had more chance of survival. Also the enemy wouldn't see them on the ground so it was easier for the soldiers to kill their enemy.
Soldiers were not sent home on leave from the military in World War 1 such as they are today. Soldiers were only sent home if they were injured, were no longer needed, or if they had died.
Soldiers in World War I typically shaved themselves in makeshift areas like the barracks or trenches, often using a small mirror and a straight razor or safety razor. Due to the cramped and unsanitary conditions, personal grooming was often a quick and utilitarian task. Some soldiers also used portable washbasins or water from nearby sources when available. Overall, maintaining personal hygiene was challenging but essential for morale and health.
German soldiers during World War I were called "Huns" by the American soldiers. The Germans called their soldiers "The Bosch" during World War I.
German soldiers used gas masks to protect themselves from chemical warfare during World War I and World War II. These masks typically featured a rubber or fabric facepiece with filters to trap harmful gases. Additionally, they often wore protective clothing to shield their skin from exposure. The development and use of gas masks were crucial in mitigating the effects of chemical agents on the battlefield.

The soldiers themselves dug out the trenches.
Ran back the direction they came.
German soldiers disguised themselves as Polish soldiers and attacked a German radio station to give reasoning to invade Poland.
The use of mustard gas in World War One was a terrible and inhumane weapon. Gas masks were the best protection soldiers had to avoid breathing in this gas.
They protected themselves by using bags of sand to block the bullets, hide in their trenches, or find some other protection

It was because USA was hardly bombed, and they didn't need extra soldiers to defend themselves.
the us was defending themselves against japan and germany They weren't really defending themselves. They were helping the others out. The US was sending tanks, jets, and soldiers to help the others, not themselves, since it was hard for them to get attacked.
