[B-Man2]

"Pill box demolishers" being unloaded on the Western Front. These were damn big shells weighing 1,400 lbs (635kg). When they detonated their explosions made craters over 15 feet deep and 15 yards across...

These things are about the same size as the 16 inch guns on the USS Missouri Battleship .

Aerial reconnaisance photo of the hellish moonscape around the Hill of Combres, St. Mihiel Sector, north of Hattonchatel and Vigneulles on the Western Front. Note the criss-cross patterns of multiple generations of trenches, the thousands of craters left by mortars, artillery, and the detonation of underground mines. Hard to believe men could survive in that nightmare...

Awful colourisation. Not a fan of the trend in general but the tide has turned and there's no going back.
