The number of dead is as dramatic side German than French, and even to civilians: the war was over 300 000 deaths, including 163,000 French soldiers and 143,000 Germans. Because of too many dead bodies, they can not all be brought back.
This territory is in fire and blood, bodies fall and are abandoned where they lie, and then find themselves stacked on each other. Survivors
ignore the dead or pretend not to know that they are lying, huddled at the bottom of the hole or in the middle of guts and trenches, but nonetheless, they drink muddy puddles, not really choice, where there are pieces of human organs. The corpses are
stared, members emerge, there remains an air of thick, black breath: an atmosphere heavy.
