BBC documentary showing how the war started, among other things with cavalry charges against infantry, and how the war soon developed into a positional war where even cavalrymen were placed in the trenches. Historians in the documentary are presenting exciting facts about the first trenches, the effect of machine gun and canned food.
Another BBC documentary, this one about the Battle of Somme but with the focus of one vital part of trench warfare - mine warfare. Movie is showing how British military miners were recruited and how their working assignments and places looked like.
A movie about Stormtroopers called "Stosstrupp". The film was made in 1934 and used as propaganda during the dictatorship of Hitler and Nazi Germany. It was a part of an effort to popularise "heroes" of WWI. Movie shows almost as a training movie how stormtroopers perform their attack actions in trench warfare.
