WWI Creeping Barrage: Why German Soldiers Feared This British Artillery Tactic More Than Any Other
Discover the terrifying evolution of World War One's most feared weapon - the British creeping barrage. This revolutionary artillery tactic transformed the Western Front's deadlock and haunted German soldiers throughout the Great War.
In September 1916 at the Battle of the Somme, British artillery officers perfected a coordination technique that the French had pioneered at Verdun. Unlike traditional bombardments that lifted before infantry attacks, the creeping barrage created a moving wall of explosions that advanced ahead of attacking troops, suppressing German defenders at the exact moment British soldiers reached their trenches.
This documentary explores the mathematical precision required to execute creeping barrages, the psychological terror they inflicted on German troops, and their devastating effectiveness from the mud of Passchendaele to the breakthrough victories of 1918's Hundred Days Offensive. Through detailed historical analysis, we examine why German veterans remembered the creeping barrage as their most feared experience of the war - not because of its raw destructive power, but because of its relentless, hunting precision that offered no escape.
Learn how industrial coordination defeated tactical brilliance, and how this innovation changed artillery doctrine forever.
