I knew WWI was fought in the trenches but didn’t realize that some of WWII was also fought in trenches. I guess there was proof from WWI that they do work to a certain point. I’ve just started the movie and I’m not keen on subtitles but might give this one a go.

A lot of WW2 was fought in trenches and bunkers, especially on the Eastern Front mainly because there is no better way to keep an infantryman alive from artillery and tank fire than digging down into the dirt. Ask anyone who has been under fire, especially artillery fire, and they will tell you cannot get low enough into the ground. You also found an amazing amount of well built German trenches and inter connecting bunker positions and Pill Boxes at the Atlantic Wall at D-Day, same for the Japanese positions at Tarawa and Iwo Jima just to name a couple.
