Over the top

Rating: 6/10 (16 February 2020)

Did Brits say "Boche"? Did the Germans ever abandon a trench line and give up ground just to set a trap? Were the trenches arranged in rows: our trench, their trench, our trench, their trench? Didn't the battalion Schofield was trying to reach figure out on its own that it faced resistance the minute it went over the top? If the Germans destroyed their own guns, why not just blow up the trench as well? In every conflict, is there always a reluctant hero who just wants to get home but whose abilities soar above those of all around him? And does he just need some inspiration? And is his name sometimes Alvin? Was WWI a big Super Mario game that could be set for one player? And-biggest question of all-who milked that cow?
