What were Douglas haigs tactics?
Field Marshall Haig's tactics for the battle of the Somme contained a bombardment against the German trenches for a week attempting to break through barbed wire and destroy the trenches. This ended, after a week, at precisely 8.20 and British troops were ordered to go over the top at 8.30 giving German troops 10 minutes to prepare for them. This may not seem like a lot of time however enough to prepare some machine guns. Haigs careless tactics lend to thousands being killed on the first day.They should have sent some soldiers to check it was clear before all their troops walked across no mans land carrying half their body weight and holding rifles at a neutral position. Douglas Haigs tactics were bad however by the end of the war he was streets ahead of other commanders.
