I used to visit. A decade ago walking the ossuarys gave me the feeling of humanity might have learned something.
These days Ill prolly open a beer and light a spliff, and tell the dead :” ere we go again”…

This battle shocked people because there was really no comparison to it since Paris in 1870. And before that it would be decades if not a century between singular battles causing massive amounts of casualties in such a short time.
Fast forward 30 years and we were making Verdun look tame
Leningrad, Stalingrad, Shanghai, Budapest, Kiyv, Manila and more. Countless millions dead in short order. As if we almost challenged ourselves to do “better” than the last time.
