As french, I have learnt a lot on this battle with your decomentary. Thank you.
When I was a kid, Verdun was a name I have to learn in History lessons.
Each 11th of November, the classroom of the primary school have to honour the Death Monument. It was boring, all these these speech, these old men with medals on the chest and this ceremonial with flowers offered for the young men who give their life for the Patrie or if you are cynical, who died and that all.
My mother worked in a asile for all old people. All of them were poor, fishermen, shepherd, workers ..all kind of people who belonged to the working class.
They were absolutely grateful to Maréchal Petain, despite all what but bad an treason thing he did for France. He's portait as officer during this awful war, is not so beautiful and glorious as "Père la Victoire. " legend , .but that is an another subject.
It appears that battle is battle of french officers against German officers who didn't care about humans being but just of some bloody game and self- glory.
I can't see pictures about Camoun who was a shepherd in the Pyrénées wo don't speak french jut a dialect, as occitan, or André, a little man who explain how is size helped to survive in the trench.
How old they were during this butchery call WW1 ?
We can remark on these pictures some african people . They became brothers of arm for these french soldiers but for the high rank officers they were considered just canon fodder. They were coming from Sénégal and others place of the "Empire colonial Français ".
They give their life for France, and maybe the unknown soldier under the Arc de Triumph is an African..
France give to them the promise to be full and entirely french citizen. A lie.
I had a teacher, Mr Carrer, one of this teacher that many of them knew, who's seem a man who give so much, for an entirely life. We have visited a cemetery called "Cimetière des Senegalais", Sénégalaise cemetery. ..
That was a disturbing discovery about the french History.
Then, I have married a German wife and have an another point of view.
The conclusion is the same, not a people, the simple people, like me, without power, would have to die in this war.
It's the war of upper class, an international war which opposed people of the working class, french, German or English, American, Italian...so on.
It was a war of high ranking officers as a sinistre game for the glory of them.
I love my country, I love France...I love french people as I have described and feel narrow of them. It's not my purpose to say but things about them, but to say the bad side of these french who have the power to avoid and to stop this awful madness.
I can't understand the sens of these run of soldier, in the mud, hole, just in front of machine gun...and that for nothing.
There are a small town in France where the ceremony of the end war is a monument for Peace.
And that is great.
Now, as adult, my thought is for all these young dead for nothing than capitalism and glory.
God give them peace.
