Summary

Description
English: French Attack at German dugout, Flanders 1917. Probably third Battle of Ypres (more commonly referred to as Passchendaele) in 1917, the French First Army (Commander Francois Paul Anthoine) guard the British northern flank across the Yser Canal. The attack started on 31 July 1917. The French were halted by the German Fifth Army under Max von Gallwitz. - Other descriptions: Verdun, Champagne, compare for example on the commons File:GermanInfantry1914.jpg
Deutsch: Erfolgloser französischer Sturmangriff (Erste Armee unter General Francois Paul Antoine) auf deutsche, durch Trommelfeuer fast völlig eingeebnete Stellungen, vermutlich (Fünfte Armee unter General Max von Gallwitz), Flandern 1917 ("Dritte Flandernschlacht"). Das Bild ist sowohl auf den Commons wie auch auf anderen Internetseiten mit abweichenden Bildbeschreibungen veröffentlicht (Verortung teilweise nach Verdun, Champagne oder anderen Kriegsschauplätzen, vgl. z.B. auf den Commons File:GermanInfantry1914.jpg). Ursprünglich wurde das Bild mit einem weiteren Soldaten rechts veröffentlicht (1920), der aber bei späteren Veröffentlichungen weggeschnitten wurde (vielleicht aufgrund seiner unmilitärischen, offensichtlich ängstlichen Körperhaltung, vgl. File:GermanInfantry1914.jpg). Dieses ursprüngliche Bild liegt mir, Superikonoskop, jedoch nur in einer schlechten Qualität vor, so dass ich es bisher nicht heraufgeladen habe.
