The dead were often left unburied on the Western Front due to the chaotic and dangerous conditions of trench warfare during World War I. Continuous shelling and the sheer scale of casualties made it difficult for soldiers to retrieve bodies safely. Additionally, the priority was often placed on immediate military objectives over burial, leading to many soldiers remaining unburied for extended periods, which also contributed to health risks from disease and the psychological toll on surviving troops.

The defeat of Russia enabled Germany to transfer troops to the Western Front, but not in the numbers they had hoped for, as they had unexpectedly serious problems on the Eastern Front with groups as diverse as Bolshevists and Ukrainian nationalists. Russia' defeat also fed fantasies about boundless German expansion in Eastern Europe - fantasies that played a key role in Hitler's thinking.

Who is left unburied to be eaten by dogs in 'Antigone'?

Polyneices and the enemy dead are left unburied so that their corpses may be eaten by dogs in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, ancient Greeks tend to leave unburied the dead from the opposing side. This is done so that the body will be disfigured and divided into pieces and therefore not be intact when the dead seek to enter the Underworld of the afterlife. But at the same time, all Thebans have divine guarantees of below-ground burials and therefore are not to be left above ground regardless of whether they are loyal or disloyal to their hometown.

What does Creon proclaim?

That the bodies of the disloyal Theban dead are to be left unburied and that violators will be executed is what Creon proclaims in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the recent experience with Thebans killing each other off affects Theban King Creon. He decides that the disloyal Theban dead need to be treated in the same way as the invading Argive dead. He therefore proclaims that the god-given rights of all Thebans to below ground burials will not be honored for the disloyal Theban dead.
