The WWI "Massacre of the Innocents" 😢🪖

During the First Battle of Ypres in WWI, inexperienced, patriotic German volunteers collided with the finest professional soldiers of the British Army. The result was pure tragedy. 🪖🚨

Advancing through the thick fog while singing patriotic songs, tens of thousands of young German soldiers believed courage alone would carry them to victory. Instead, they were met by the devastating, rapid-fire precision of British riflemen and machine guns. Outnumbering the British made no difference. The battlefield turned into such a horrific slaughter that historians later named it the Kindermord—the massacre of the innocents.
