Volume 2 — GOTT STRAFE VERDUN
Reading edition
"I wish I knew whether it is wiser to retreat or to advance"
VERDUN
For more than two months the battle of Verdun has raged almost ceaselessly day and night. It is conceded that Germany has concentrated picked troops and heavy guns in quantities never before seen in war. Yet, apart from the first withdrawal of General Petain's army from outlying positions to definite lines of defense, the two months fighting has not given the attacking forces a gain of two miles.
