Attrition; "lions led by donkeys", the slaughter only ceasing for a brief truce one Christmas – old, mistaken views of the war on the Western Front. In fact there was constant tactical evolutions; hundreds of generals died in action; some men adopted a system of "Live and Let Live", with countless informal local truces. (Prime Video)
