Whenever this guy named Adolf leaves the bunker to take a piss, you follow him. He's got a good luck streak.

After the event of a gas attack if you are in a bunker with your gasmask and see someone outside without one, DO NOT remove yours. There is still gas in holes and dug outs.
Artillery shells never hit twice the exact same place.
Dont use bayonets with sharpened sides.

>Dont use bayonets with sharpened sides.
why not?

Why was this storming such a shitshow for the Germans?
Weren't the "stormtroopers" created for this exact purpose,

Take that dead guys helmet so you have something to shit in and throw it out instead of shitting in the trench.

>Weren't the "stormtroopers" created for this exact purpose,

No literally the opposite

i mean those with sharp fangs, dont know how is it in english. because if they capture you with one of those they will kill you.

Serrated Bayonets is the word you’re looking for

Poke your head over the trench a lot so you can see when the enemy is coming

>don't worry user, your helmet will stop bullets

>Artillery shells never hit twice the exact same place.
That's bullshit, but I believe it

That's just unnecessarily sadistic though, fairly impractical for actually killing someone, it's better to have a knife you can use to pull back and stab again.

serrated blades are great for cutting wood though

I suppose, but so are hatchets.

>Artillery shells never hit twice the exact same place.
Wrong

There's no actual evidence of this happening

Is this a legit picture? I have a feeling it's from a movie. Is there a higher res somewhere?

Dont go near the Isonzo

better to have a multi-tool than a specialized tool. especially since i'm not a goddamn pionier that was equipped with a hatchet, saw or any specialized equipment.

go back in time and advice your superiors about the 6 french army at your side in 1914.

Shoot yourself in the foot or hand.

Don't get your head outside trench
Don't smoke on the frontline
No trips to no man's land
Keep a bird in cage in your trench
Always keep your gas mask close, and make sure it's in one piece
Never get your helmet off
Get vaccinated
Keep your first field dressing pack close
Never retreat without your officer's permission
Never leave your gun on the battlefield
Avoid sitting long on humid terrain

if you share a match to light a cig at night, be sure to be the first

>Always keep your gas mask close, and make sure it's in one piece

Won't always be enough

>On 22-23 June, Germany launched its last major attack on Verdun. German artillery fired over 110,000 chemical shells filled with phosgene. The concentration was so high that the French masks were unable to filter out the agent, and the French artillery crews, the principle targets, fell silent. "Men and horses were caught and killed by the terrible fumes. Doctors treating the wounded were themselves struck down."

>not eating piric acid and getting discharged for jaundice

enjoy your life as a cripple, brainlet

Well shit...

Then at least be always ready to piss on a handkerchief and press it to your face. Chemicals in urine can make prevent some gasses from reaching your respiratory system.

You finish making that time machine?

Lose a leg and go back to a comfy bed.

Hoard toilet paper.
HOARD it.

why would you even use those? you cant pull them out easily so youre just a target for longer.

They were issued to engineers so they had a cutting tool and bayonet combined in one, it didn't work very well in either role

Take care of your feet.
>Dry feet.
>Smear liberally with a layer of camphorated petroleum Jelly.
>Put on the cleanest pair of socks you have.
>Smear the socks with more petroleum jelly.
>Put on second pair of socks.
>Put on boots.

You do NOT want trench foot.
