Barbed wire

much safer than entrenching. The safest method was called tunneling. The soldiers would dig a tunnel, and when the soldiers completely finish the inside they would destroy the roof. This was the hardest and most time consuming method. They would put wood on the bottom of the trenches, but they would leave a foot below so the water can drain out. Trenches were not dug into straight lines because that would allow the enemy to easily take out many targets, and the zigzag effect allowed the people in the trenches to escape enemy attacks easier. The trenches normally had barbed wire at the top of the trenches. They would be reinforced with wooden beams and sandbags. Only well built trenches had the wooden floor bottom, but the trenches that were getting built at the end of the war were poorly made (“KidsKonnect”). In between the enemy trenches was open land called no man’s land. No man’s land was covered in barbed wire and landmines. Depending on the situation, most of the time no man’s land was 50 to 250 yards apart (WWI Facts”). Life in the trenches were difficult because they would get flooded by rainfall and get dirty by bad weather conditions (“KidsKonnect”). Almost all the trenches had dirty pest like rats, lice, and frogs (“WWI Facts”). Rats ate the soldier’s food, and the rats in some cases actually ate the soldier when they were sleeping. There were millions of rats during World War One, and the rats could produce as many as 900 babies a year. Trench fever was a…

Never will words be able to do justice to the torture, sadness, and pure loss of hope experienced within the barbed wire fences of concentration camps. Primo Levi’s recount of his time as a prisoner is the closest anyone on the outside will ever come to truly being able to understand it without experiencing the imprisonment first hand. Human beings were destroyed in these camps; deprived of their humanity and minimized to just a number. The Nazi Regime stripped these people of their past,…
