Machine gun nests sent on December 02, 2021 (18:03) by Lorisb. 11 comments, 190 views. [retina]

at 17mm, 1/30 f/6.3, ISO 400, hand held. Monte Grappa, Italy.

Se e' vero che la mitragliatrice fu per tutta la Grande Guerra un'arma prevalentemente statica, pertanto inadatta a seguire le truppe all'attacco, la tipologia stessa del grande conflitto statico di trincea ne sancì l'impiego ideale per difendere e rendere pressoché inespugnabile qualsiasi postazione. Con una capacità media di fuoco equivalente a circa 80-100 fucili, contro ogni tipo di mitragliatrice della Grande Guerra si infransero sanguinosamente tutti gli attacchi di fanteria e cavalleria, tanto arditi, quanto disperati e senza alcuna possibilità di successo. Contro i nidi di mitragliatrice avversari si scontrarono immancabilmente tutte le forze dell'Intesa e, in particolar modo, ogni velleità d'attacco “ad oltranza”, di stampo francese e italiano. L'”elan Vitale”, lo slancio incontenibile che tutto avrebbe dovuto travolgere, mitragliatrici incluse (voluto fortemente da Joffre e ripreso dagli stessi Haig e Cadorna) ebbe il solo devastante effetto di produrre immani quantitativi di perdite umane: una difesa dotata di mitragliatrici si rivelò sempre vincente. I generali di ogni nazione belligerante, ad eccezione di quelli tedeschi, continuarono ostinatamente a mandare allo sbaraglio migliaia vite, pretendendo di contrapporre a centinaia di pallottole vomitate ogni secondo dalle mitragliatrici, solo i coraggiosi petti dei propri fanti.

Thank you guys for your participation, I agree with you when you say what was supposed to arouse about those guys, jump out of the trenches and run into no man's land facing the firepower of the machine guns.
A very dear greeting to all of you :-)
