　　On the Western Front of World War I, a German soldier died in barbed wire around 1916. Jerry, a dead German soldier, was found in barbed wire barbed wire after a futile raid on the front line at Givenchy during the night.

　On the Western Front, thick belts of barbed wire were stretched in front of front-line trenches. They were placed far enough away from the trenches so that the enemy could not get close enough to throw grenades into them. The tangle of barbed wire was designed to direct attacking enemy infantry into the firing range of machine guns and artillery.

　The barbed wire warfare innovations of World War I changed the battlefield: by 1918, it was estimated that at least some 16,000 kilometers of barbed wire had been strung in Flanders alone. This was enough to circle the globe 40 times.

　Barbed wire, along with machine guns, shaped the fighting of World War I. Dead bodies hang from old barbed wire. Young lives were wasted on barbed wire in northern France, evoking the sorrow and tragedy of war. The horror of the bodies hanging from the barbed wire was doubled.

　Soldiers defended their trenches with barbed wire by placing it on the ground away from the top of the trenches. When barbed wire was used as a trap, artillery or gun fire was specifically used to guide enemy soldiers into already constructed barbed wire traps.
