Ypres (Ieper) - piekło na Ziemi

(subtitles available) This small strip of Belgian land around the city of Ypres (French: Ypres) was the scene of the most horrific massacre in human history between 1914 and 1918. The total number of casualties from the five major battles fought here is approximately 1.4 million. We begin with the beautiful city of Ypres itself, and in the following episodes, we'll take you to battlefields that were as bloody as they were senseless, yielding no tactical or strategic advantage except for bleeding both the enemy and our own armies dry. Never before have so many fallen in such a short time in such a small area.
