Battle of Verdun 3D: France Fights Back

By April 1916, the Battle of Verdun had become a grinding struggle of attrition, killing, on average, a thousand men every day for 300 days. In this episode we follow the battle to its shattering conclusion: desperate struggles for the prized forts, catastrophes for both sides, and a final chapter that will decide the fate of Verdun. Using 3D graphics, we get up close to the artillery that defined the battle — from Germany's monstrous Big Bertha, whose shockwaves shattered windows two miles away, to France's veteran De Bange 155mm cannon, whose crews proved decisive at critical moments. We discover how leadership, logistics, and sheer endurance shaped the outcome — and ask what 300,000 dead, and ten months of unimaginable suffering, ultimately achieved.
