as far as i understand it, the germans build there trenches like this because they knew, that they would stay there for quite a while. Also there was a theory that sharp corners can “slow done” explosions, but i dont know if the germans build their trenches like they because of this. (Also Mythbusters testet this myth cant remember the outcome tho)
Also the allied trenches were lower in elevation most of the time than there german counterpart
leading to higher buildup of water and mud in the allied treches.

Yeah well when the Germans captured allied trenches they were shocked beyond belief by the existence of food so, y’know, ya win some and lose some.

I went to the Fromelles museum. They said that the “Germans had nicer trenches” thing was largely a myth. It may have been true earlier in the war, but material availability hurt them worse than the French and Brits… So for most of the war the Germans had worse trenches.
..thats what they said anyway.

I’ve read All Quiet on the Western Front, so I know that this was a lie… the French had the real best trenches!

Video is accurate because there was also no food anywhere to be found

And at the end of the war the tables have turned… Germans during the spring offensive: LOOK AT ALL THIS FOOD!
