In April 1918, during the German spring offensive known as the Ludendorff Offensive, French soldiers advanced through the body of a French soldier who had fallen on the edge of a shell crater during the Battle of Villers-Bretonneux in France.

1918年4月に、ドイツ軍の春のルデンドルフ攻勢中に、ドイツ軍はフランスでのヴィルル=ブレトンヌ戦いにて砲弾の穴の縁で倒れたフランス軍兵士の遺体を通り抜けて、煙と炎の中を進軍した。

 第一次世界大戦にて、1918年4月24日から27日にかけてルーデンドルフ攻勢の第2次ヴィレール・ブルトンヌーの戦いが行われた。ロシア軍の撤退後、ドイツは東部戦線から最大100万人の兵士を西部戦線に移動させ、決定的な攻勢を仕掛けた。ヴィレール・ブルトンヌ周辺での戦闘の結果、連合軍の死傷者は以下の通りであった。オーストラリア軍旅団は2,473人の死傷者を出し、イギリス軍の死傷者は9,529人、フランス軍の死傷者は3,500人、ドイツ軍の死傷者は8,000~10,400人であった。

 1918年3月21日に始まったドイツ軍のルーデンドルフ攻勢は、第一次世界大戦中の西部戦線にて初めての戦車戦を伴って勃発した。ドイツ軍は、戦争を終結させるため、大規模な攻撃を命じた。わずか5時間の間に、ドイツ軍はイギリス軍陣地に100万発の砲弾を撃ち込んだ。イギリス軍は4月11日から、ドイツ軍の攻勢は停滞し始めて、23万人の死傷者を出した。ドイツ軍の最後の攻撃は7月15日に行われた。フランス軍は7月18日から大規模な攻勢を開始し、ルデンドルフ攻勢はドイツ軍兵士を避難させ、主導権は連合軍に移り、まもなく戦争を終結させる百日攻勢を開始した。



In May 1940, during the German invasion of France, the French mechanized forces collapsed and many French soldiers were killed at Amiens Cathedral in France.

  At Amiens Cathedral in France, in May 1940, the German invasion of France led to the collapse of French mechanized units, resulting in the deaths of many French soldiers. By the initial stage of the Western Front in World War II, 30 French divisions and 9 British divisions had already been rendered combat-ineffective, excluding Dutch and Belgian forces.

  During World War II, the French city of Amiens, including its famous cathedral, suffered significant destruction, particularly during the German invasion of France in 1940. The cathedral itself survived both World War I and World War II. However, the city of Amiens sustained severe damage, with approximately 60% of it destroyed during World War II.In 1940, during the German invasion of France, tanks advanced rapidly and destructively, leading to the defeat of the French army and numerous casualties. The Battle of Amiens during World War I was a turning point. In the 1940 operation, the city of Amiens fell to the German army.In 1940, the German army's rapid advance, utilizing mobile units, led to the fall of France, including the city of Amiens. 

  On May 19, the German army advanced again, breaking through French regional military units. The German army occupied Amiens and seized the westernmost bridge over the river at Abbeville. British, French, Dutch, and Belgian forces in the north were cut off from their supply lines.On May 20, a massive encirclement was formed around French, British, and Belgian forces belonging to the Allied First Army Group. The British and French forces, cornered during the German invasion of France from May 24 to June 4, 1940, evacuated 400,000 troops in the Battle of Dunkirk.

In the Russian Civil War of 1917, White Army soldiers faced a tragic fate at the hands of the Red Army. The civil war lasted for more than five years and claimed the lives of millions of Russians.

 During the Russian Civil War, the Red Army killed White Army troops in Russia in 1917. In the 1917 Russian Civil War, White Army soldiers faced the tragic fate of being killed by the Red Army. The brutal reality of the Russian Civil War became the harsh reality faced by soldiers from both sides during this turbulent era. It signified the violence and chaos that engulfed Russia.

The Bolshevik Revolution, which erupted in 1917 and led to the Russian Civil War, triggered a civil war that lasted over five years and claimed the lives of millions of Russians. This civil war was primarily fought between the Red Army, which supported Vladimir Lenin's communist revolution, and a collection of militias known as the White Army.The White Army fought to restore the Russian monarchy or at least prevent the communists from taking control of the country. 

Red Army recruits swore to sacrifice their strength and very lives for socialism and the brotherhood of the people. In 1919, most of the millions of casualties were civilians, and two refugees boarded a two-story passenger car to escape the fighting.

Western Allied powers attempted to support the White Army during the civil war. This intervention was initially aimed at bringing Russia back into the Allied camp and re-engaging it in World War I. In late 1918 or early 1919, workers hanging from the entrance of a factory in Odessa were reportedly killed by French troops.

In March 1921, sailors from Kronstadt, near present-day Saint Petersburg, crossed the frozen Gulf of Finland and revolted. After openly opposing the Bolshevik political policies of the Red Army, Red Army units attacked the sailors.Thousands of sailors escaped to Finland during the fighting, but over 1,000 who surrendered were executed by the Bolsheviks. This was the last major uprising faced by the Bolsheviks in Russia before they established full communist dictatorship in February 1922.

A woman cries over the body wrapped in the flag of a loved one killed in Israeli attacks in the northwestern city of Tabriz, Iran - photo LaPresse.

On Monday, June 16, 2025, an Iranian woman mourned at the body of Mohammadi Javad Naseri, who was reportedly killed in an Israeli attack in the northwestern Iranian city of Tabriz. In the northwestern Iranian city of Tabriz, an Iranian woman mourned the body of her beloved, who was killed in an Israeli attack, with the national flag draped over it.Following Israel's attack on Tehran, Iran retaliated by striking Tel Aviv. Israel warned Iran that it would pay the price for the planned killing of Israeli civilians and achieved air superiority over Tehran. Iran has not stated to the European Union (EU) that its goal is to destroy the State of Israel.The EU is irrelevant, as are other parts of the Middle East. Even if a conflict breaks out in Gaza, the EU will be unable to play any role. The EU is paralyzed by divisions among its member states and indifferent to the massacre in Gaza. Israel will continue to drop bombs on Iran, and Tehran will respond with missile attacks on the Jewish state.Donald Trump is preparing to intervene, bringing new instability. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's violations of international law have been brutally crushed. US intelligence agencies have insisted that Iran is not manufacturing nuclear weapons and that it would take years to build an atomic bomb.Since 2012, Prime Minister Netanyahu has repeatedly claimed that Tehran is months away from developing a nuclear warhead and has decided to launch air strikes against Iran. The EU remains silent, parroting Tel Aviv's right to self-defense. Conversely, as the world's attention is not focused on Iran, the level of fear in Gaza, Palestine, is increasing. Palestinians are being killed while begging.Every day, dozens of Palestinians are losing their lives at humanitarian aid distribution centers run by phantom organizations supported by the US and Israel. Hundreds gather at the distribution centers, only to be met with machine gun fire directed at the crowd. On the following Tuesday, June 17, 56 people were killed by artillery fire from Israeli tanks. The EU remains silent in the face of the piles of dismembered bodies.
