Why 90% of WWI Snipers Died

What turned a single hidden rifle into a constant danger for thousands of men? In the trenches of the First World War, one brief movement above the parapet could be enough to bring death from an unseen position. This video explores how trench warfare transformed marksmanship into modern sniping on the Western Front and at Gallipoli. You will see how rifle scopes, camouflage, sniper training, and static trench lines created a new kind of battlefield threat, and how German snipers first gained the advantage before the Allies adapted. From fake trees and dummy heads to periscope rifles and sniper teams, this is the story of how World War I changed military history. ⚠️ This content is educational and documentary in nature and is presented for the purposes of analysis, commentary, and historical study under Fair Use pursuant to Section 107 of the United States Copyright Act.
