In Trdivske from February 20, 2024, Ukrainian military rockets struck twice in two days at a point where Russian troops had gathered in the open. The bodies of about 65 Russian soldiers were scattered.

　 Beginning on February 20, 2024, Ukrainian rockets struck twice in two days at Trdivske in the Volnovsky district of Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine, where Russian troops had gathered in the open for an inspection tour. In the aftermath of the attacks, about 65 people were killed, many Russian soldiers were scattered, and piles of Russian corpses were photographed.

　Russian regiments and brigades were massed in broad daylight just 16 or 32 kilometers from the front lines of the two-year war between Ukrainian and Russian forces. That distance was within range of American-made HIMAS rockets at the Ukrainian army. Twice in the past two days, the Ukrainian military side used drones to spot and attack the Russian military assembly, killing many Russian soldiers.

　The first attack by Ukrainian troops, shelled on February 20, targeted Russian soldiers of the 39th Motor Rifle Brigade of the Russian Army's 39th Separate Company of the Siberian Region in Trdivske, eastern Ukraine. Two companies of Russian infantry were lined up for speeches by their commanders and military commanders. A Ukrainian military drone drone arrived overhead and was on its way to fire HIMAS (Hymers). It was in the vicinity of Vfledar, just 32 km west of the front line. The HIMAS fired GPS-guided M30/31 rockets. Each rocket was filled with about 182,000 tungsten balls.

　The following day, February 21, two Russian military units gathered again in the same field for training and inspection. Separate formations of the Russian military's 328th Air Assault Regiment for Siberia, the 810th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade, and the 81st Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment gathered at Oleshky Sands National Nature Park, just about 32 km south of the Ukrainian Marine Corps bridgehead at Krynski on the left bank of the Dnipro River.

 A Ukrainian military drone drone spotted them, and Ukrainian artillery, probably HIMARS, took aim and attacked. About 60 more Russian soldiers were killed. Amid the blood and bodies, the US was the main supplier to Ukraine of about three dozen M30/31 rockets for HIMARS. However, Trump's Republicans in the U.S. Congress blocked further U.S. aid to the Ukrainian military after October 2024.

Warning: A Ukrainian drone located them. Ukrainian artillery—perhaps HIMARS—took aim. Another 60 or so Russians reportedly died, After the aftermath of the Trudivs'ke raid. VIA SOCIAL MEDIA.

On July 21, 1994, a Rwandan refugee girl weeps beside the dead bodies of her parents in a refugee camp about 10 km outside Goma, Zaire. Hutus from the Tutsi Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) had fled to Rwanda.

 　　On July 21, 1994, a Rwandan refugee girl weeps beside the dead bodies of her parents in a refugee camp about 10 km outside Goma, Zaire. Hutus had fled from the Tutsi Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) in Rwanda. Thousands of Hutu refugees reached refugee camps, but cholera and other epidemics claimed many lives.

　Paul Kagame, a Tutsi, drove millions of Hutu Rwandans to the borders of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Burundi, Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya in a five-month period in 1994. Millions of Hutu Rwandans had already been killed within five months. In Rwanda under Paul Kagame, dead Rwandans had littered the ridges of a thousand hills in the space of five months. Within five months, Paul Kagame had set up roadblocks throughout Rwanda to keep Hutu men from fleeing Agafuni; within five months, millions of Hutu Rwandans had already lost their country, their parents, their uncles, their relatives, their sisters, their brothers, and their grandfathers.

　Under Paul Kagame, Rwanda turned into a jungle in the space of five months in 1994. Paul Kagame ordered killings that not even the Interahamwe militia dared to carry out. Paul Kagame and the Rwandan Patriotic Front, formed by Tutsis, carried out attacks on religious leaders and refugees. Paul Kagame ordered the massacre of three Catholic bishops who had taken refuge in Kabgayi Cathedral. Kagame ordered their extermination solely because they were Bantu. Auxiliary bishops, priests, nuns, brothers, lay church leaders, youth leaders, and other clergy were also massacred. The tragic mother, Esperance Mukashema, a four-year-old Tutsi boy who took refuge in the church with her, Esperance Mukashema, a Hutu survivor of the genocide by the Tutsis, and her four-year-old son were killed along with all the catholic clergy in Gakura.

　 The Rwandan genocide broke out from April 7 to July 15, 1994, when Hutu extremists massacred Tutsis. The Hutu genocide killed 1,074,017 people, 94% of whom were Tutsis, and ended on July 4 when the Tutsi Patriotic Front of Rwanda overran the entire country, ending Tutsi genocide rule in Rwanda since 1994. After the victory of the Rwandan Patriotic Front, about 2 million Hutus fled to neighboring countries, especially to refugee camps in Zaire, fearing reprisals.

During the Battle of Peleliu Island in the Pacific War, Japanese soldiers were killed by American troops when they returned fire with field artillery to stop American troops invading the beachhead. American soldiers surrounded and looked down on the bodies of slain Japanese field artillerymen.

 　　During the Battle of Peleliu Island in the Pacific War, Japanese soldiers were killed by American troops when they fired back with field artillery to stop American troops invading the beachhead. American soldiers surrounded and looked down on the bodies of slain Japanese field artillerymen who had attacked them with field artillery.

　 The date for the American landing on Peleliu Island was set for September 15, 1944. The U.S. Navy blocked access to reinforcements and resupply Japanese forces on Peleliu Island. The three days of naval bombardment preceding the Marine landings were inadequate for the Japanese fortifications that were being built on Peleliu The Japanese took advantage of the steep and rising terrain around Mount Umbulgol to build interlocking bunkers and hidden concrete shelters. When the Americans landed on Peleliu Island, they faced siege fire from their bunkers and from high ground above the sandy beach.

　The Japanese fought tenaciously to prevent the Marines from securing the beach landing sites. On the night of September 15, the first landing, Japanese infiltration forces repeatedly attacked the Marine front. Although provided with shell lighting to drive back the infiltration force, the rest of the fleet withdrew to avoid the Japanese submarines. The Marines fought through the night in foxholes. The Marines had no natural water source, and by September 16 water was scarce; on September 16, the 5th and 7th Marines advanced relentlessly, while the 1st Marines advanced more slowly and encountered fierce Japanese resistance from the northern ridge. Temperatures on Peleliu rose to 45 degrees Celsius and drinking water was scarce.

　The fighting on Peleliu was ineffective against the approximately 500-plus underground fortifications built by the Japanese. The long-range flamethrowers on the amphibian tractors, first employed on Peleliu, were the most effective weapons against the fortified caves. It took five regiments nearly two months to capture Mount Umurbrogol, bypassing and isolating the Japanese resistance base. The 1st Marines suffered heavy casualties in achieving their objective. The occupation of Angauru was accomplished on October 21, and Peleliu Island was declared safe.

　American forces began the grueling task of isolating the Japanese resistance pocket on Mount Umurbrogol. For several weeks, they slowly advanced around the caves of Mount Umurbrogol, gradually eliminating Japanese resistance. The Japanese garrison did not attempt a banzai (suicide) assault, but instead continued to fight to the end, inflicting damage on the American forces. On Peleliu Island, the Americans stopped the Japanese reinforcements on Peleliu Island, and the American ground forces overpowered the strong Japanese forces. On Peleliu Island, the Marines lost 1,336 dead and 5,450 wounded, and the 81st Infantry Division lost 1,393 dead (including 208 killed in action). Japanese forces were crushed on Peleliu Island with 10,022 killed and 446 wounded in action.

From October to December 1916 in World War I, Serbian forces were pinched off by German and Buryan forces. After losing the Serbian mainland, Serbian forces fought back on the island of Koruk. Serbs were massacred and a Serbian woman autopsied their bodies.

      In World War I, from October to December 1916, Serbian forces were caught between German and Bulgarian forces. After losing the Serbian mainland, the Serbian army continued to fight back on the few remaining islands of Koruk. Serbs were massacred, and relatives of Serbian women stopped by the bodies to autopsy them in search of their immediate relatives.

　Serbia was a British ally and resisted Austro-Hungarian attacks early in World War I. In October 1915, Serbia was overrun in October 1916 by a central alliance of Austrian, German, and Bulgarian forces. The Serbian army retreated through the mountains of Montenegro into Albania, losing about 200,000+ Serbian soldiers in the winter snows. The surviving Serb soldiers took refuge on the island of Corfu to regroup.

　On December 6, 1916, when the Bulgarians launched their attack after a heavy artillery barrage, French and British units repulsed several Bulgarian attacks. Lacking sufficient artillery, the French and British forces retreated to Salonika in northeast Greece. The Germans prevented the Bulgarians from advancing into Greece, and in 1916, they built a fortification line in the hills around Salonika. 1916, French, Serbian, Russian, and Italian troops captured the western part of the front, and Serbian troops occupied Monastir. 1918, September, Allied troops attacked Do Iran and broke through the front line. The Bulgarian army withdrew after a hard struggle against the Allied forces. The Bulgarian army was defeated, liberated Serbia, and rallied with strategic exposure of the Austrian army and Turkey. Bulgaria signed the Allied armistice on September 28, 1918.

The U.S. Navy buried at sea the dead of the USS Lexington crew who were victims of a Japanese kamikaze suicide plane attack. Officers and crew members of the aircraft carrier USS Lexington stand by to bury at sea the bodies of the dead from the Battle of Leyte in the Philippines.

 　　The U.S. Navy buries at sea the dead of the crew of the USS Lexington, victims of a Japanese kamikaze suicide plane attack. Officers and crew of the aircraft carrier USS Lexington stand by as they bury at sea the bodies of their fallen aircraft carrier crew during the Battle of Leyte in the Philippines. On any given voyage or naval battle, officers and soldiers who died of disease or killed in action would be wrapped in white cloth and given a solemn burial ceremony at sea, after which their bodies would be thrown overboard, known as a sea burial.

　A U.S. Navy aircraft carrier Lexington (CV-16) was hit by a kamikaze special attack aircraft on November 5, 1944, during the Battle of Leyte in the Philippines, wrecking the right center battle bridge structure. A kamikaze special attack plane, which did not survive and was killed in action when it was hit by a body blowout and self-destructed with the fighter's explosives, hit the Lexington's machine gun turret. Gasoline for the fighter ignited, causing serious damage and a large fire. After the large fire was extinguished, 47 American soldiers were killed in action and 127 were wounded in action as a result of suffocation and burning to death. Three kamikaze special attack planes were shot down by U.S. Navy anti-aircraft fire, but a fourth slipped through and struck the Lexington, exploding. During the Battle of Leyte, a kamikaze special attack plane hit near the island, destroying most of the island's structure and causing multiple fires. 

 After the Battle of Leyte, kamikaze aircraft appeared frequently: on October 30, 1944, U.S. Navy ships Belleau Wood (CVL-24) and Franklin (CV-13) were attacked and kamikaze aircraft crashed into the flight decks of both carriers; on November 5, Lexington (Lexington, CV-16) suffered casualties and damage when a Japanese aircraft crashed near the central battle bridge.

　On November 25, in an attack on U.S.S. Cabot (CVL-28), a kamikaze suicide plane crashed on the port side of the flight deck, destroying the gun mount; a second plane crashed near the port side, sending debris and burnt remains flying into the light carrier; on November 25, Essex (CV-9) was also hit by a kamikaze suicide plane, damaging the flight deck port side; two days later, St. Louis (CL-49) was hit by a series of kamikaze suicide planes on her port side; on 29 November, Maryland (BB-46) was damaged between turrets 1 and 2 by a deliberate Japanese attack; and on 7 November, Maryland (BB-45) was hit by a kamikaze suicide plane on her port side.

  During the Ormoc Bay landings on December 7, 1944, Ward (APD-16) and Lamson (DD-367) were attacked by kamikaze suicide planes and did not escape damage; during the Mindoro landings on December 15, many US Navy ships were attacked by kamikaze suicide planes. Fighter planes from Yokosuka attacked Ommani Bay (CVE-79) but were intercepted; LST-472 and LST-738 were also attacked and lost to kamikaze suicide planes.

A 2006 photo from Abu Ghraib prison shows several hooded, naked Iraqis. One of them has "I'm a rapist" (I'm a rapist) written on his leg at his waist.

A photo released in 2006 shows several hooded, naked Iraqis. One of them has "I'm a rapist" (I'm a rapist) written on his leg at his waist.

　The photos were taken by an American soldier who was serving as a military police officer at Abu Ghraib prison. It began in late April 2004 when an American soldier obtained these photos from a friend and gave them to his commanding officer. The television program 60 Minutes II published 12 of the photos and reported that more were on the way. Some of the photos showed male and female Americans in military uniforms posing with naked Iraqi prisoners.

　Photos of torture at Abu Ghraib prison, released in April 2004, sparked outrage around the world. Photos of prisoners covered in feces, chained, beaten, cut, stripped naked, with bags over their heads, and made to stand in humiliating positions. The military guards are laughing and giving thumbs up. The photograph of a prisoner with a bag over his head, tied to a wire, and standing on a box has become synonymous with the torture inflicted on prisoners at Abu Ghraib. Prisoners standing on the box were told that if they moved, the wires would catch them and they would be electrocuted.

　Abu Ghraib prison in the town of Abu Ghraib was one of the most notorious prisons in Iraq during Saddam Hussein's regime. After the invasion, the U.S. military renovated it and turned it into a military prison, housing about 7,490 prisoners.

　According to a 2004 report by the Red Cross, about 70-90% of the prisoners were wrongly incarcerated. Abu Ghraib prison is a prison where U.S. forces held Iraqi prisoners of war from 2003 to 2006. Abuses took place in the prison's cell blocks 1A and 1B, where certain enhanced interrogation techniques for foreign detainees were authorized by the U.S. Department of Justice in the months preceding the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Eleven U.S. soldiers were convicted by court-martial on charges related to the Abu Ghraib allegations. Seven of them were soldiers of the Maryland-based 372nd Military Police Company. Many other servicemen were not indicted but were disciplined.

Palestinian women mourn as they hold the bodies of children killed in Israeli strikes, amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, at the Indonesian hospital, in the northern Gaza Strip November 18, 2023.

 　　　Palestinian women grieve as they hold the body of a child killed in an Israeli attack on the Indonesian hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, Palestine, on November 18, 2023, amid the ongoing conflict between Israeli forces and Hamas.

　On November 20, 1923, the World Health Organization (WHO), the UN health specialty, reported an attack on an Indonesian hospital in northern Gaza that killed at least 12 people, including patients and their companions admitted to the hospital, and injured dozens of others. In the latest Israeli forces continue to surround the Indonesian hospital. Shots were reportedly fired at people leaving the hospital. The Indonesian Hospital, like other hospitals in northern Gaza and Gaza City, also faced severe shortages of water, essential medicines, and supplies from power outages when the main and sub generators stopped functioning due to fuel shortages several weeks ago. The hospital put seriously injured patients and other medical emergencies at imminent risk.

　During the past six weeks, there have been multiple and ongoing attacks by Israeli forces on medical facilities. The Indonesian hospital was forced to evacuate en masse, resulting in numerous casualties among patients, their companions, and those who took refuge in the hospital. Indonesian hospitals have been damaged in at least five attacks since October 7.

　WHO recorded 335 medical attacks in the occupied Palestinian territories since October 7, when Israeli forces invaded, including 164 in the Gaza Strip and 171 in the West Bank The October 7 violence included 33 attacks on medical care in Israel.

　As a result of the attacks and shortages of fuel, medicine, and safe water, the number of beds in Gaza fell to 1,400 from 3,500 before October 7. A critical vacuum was created for patients with trauma and other ailments requiring hospitalization. Healthcare was not the target; hospitals, safe havens, were transformed into death, devastation, and despair, and WHO reminded parties to the conflict that they have an obligation under international humanitarian law to respect and actively protect the sanctity of healthcare facilities.

On the Eastern Front during World War I, German soldiers guarded a pile of dead Russian soldiers in the frozen snow during the winter of 1916-1917, counting a group of dead Russian soldiers buried in the snow.

 　　On the Eastern Front during World War I, a group of German soldiers surrounded a pile of Russian soldiers in the frozen snow during the winter of 1916-1917. German soldiers stood guard as they counted the number of dead groups of Russian soldiers buried in the snow.

　Russia suffered a brutal defeat at the Battle of Tannenberg just weeks before the war began on August 1, 1945. Some 30,000 Russian soldiers were killed or wounded, and nearly 100,000 were taken prisoner by the Germans. By the end of the year, the Russian Empire had lost more than one million soldiers. Russian ammunition was almost exhausted and the country's infrastructure was ill-equipped to supply troops effectively.

　Russian factories were unable to produce enough arms and ammunition to equip the 1.4 million troops of Czar Nicholas II. At the beginning of the war, the Russian army had about 800,000 soldiers, but they did not even have rifles for training, and those who did had only outdated weapons that were nearly 40 years old. They went into battle unarmed until they received rifles from Russian soldiers who had been killed or wounded. Russian bullet production was initially only 13,000 rounds per day.

　By the spring of 1915, the Russians were in retreat before the onslaught of the German and Austrian allied forces. Along with the heavy casualties of Russian soldiers, the great retreat also created a large number of refugees. Hordes of desperate refugees poured into Russian cities already burdened with the cost of war.

　Russians were starving during the war, and by early 1917, Russia was in such a serious crisis that Czar Nicholas could no longer ignore it. on February 26, three days after the protests that led to the February 23 February Revolution began in the capital Petrograd, the Czar's high command gave military and police The military and police were ordered to disperse the protests. As a result, nearly 100 people lost their lives. The next day, Russian soldiers joined the demonstrators. Nicholas II abdicated three days later, on March 15, 1917, and the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, signed in March 1918, ended the war between Russia and the Central Alliance in World War I.

On July 1, 1863, the bodies of many Confederate soldiers killed in the Battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War were collected near McPherson's Woods in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

　　The bodies of many Confederate soldiers killed in the Battle of Gettysburg in the Civil War on July 1, 1863, were collected near McPherson's Woods in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.　 

　Union and Confederate forces made contact at Gettysburg on June 30, 1863. The main battle broke out on July 1. It began with Confederate attacks on Union forces in McPherson's Woods west of town. The Union forces held their position until the afternoon, when they were finally overrun and driven back to the south of town. That night the main Union army arrived and took up position, and in the early morning hours of July 1, the two armies clashed west of Gettysburg. The battle raged throughout the day as Union and Confederate forces arrived on the battlefield. By 4:00 p.m., the defending Union forces were defeated and retreated from Gettysburg, with many of their men taken prisoner. The remnants of the Union army massed in the rear.

　On July 2, the main parts of both armies were on parallel ridges, the Union on Cemetery Ridge and the Confederates on Seminary Ridge to the west. The Confederates were ordered to attack both Union flanks; an attack on the Union left flank destroyed the base and scattered casualties. The evening attack on the Union right flank did not work in favor of the Confederates. By morning, the main forces of both armies had arrived on the battlefield. The Confederates launched attacks on the Union left and right flanks in an attempt to dislodge the Union forces from their strong positions. The attack on Longstreet's Union left flank went well, but was blocked by Union reinforcements from the center and right flanks. On the Union right wing, Confederate forces occupied part of Culpus Hill, but were repulsed elsewhere.

　On July 3, Confederate artillery launched a two-hour artillery barrage against Union Federal positions. The bombardment was a temporary siege in which the artillery of both armies fought for supremacy. It had little effect in disrupting the Union defensive positions. About 12,000 Confederates charged across the open fields toward the Union center in a picket charge. The assault was a disaster, the Confederates lost more than 5,000 men in an hour, and the Confederate Battle of Gettysburg was assembled. The Confederates launched attacks on the Union left and right flanks in an attempt to dislodge the Union forces from their strong positions. The Confederate attack on Longstreet, on the Union left flank, proceeded well, but was blocked by Union reinforcements from the center and right flanks. On the Union right wing, the Confederates captured part of Culpus Hill, but were repulsed elsewhere.

　On November 19, President Abraham Lincoln traveled to Gettysburg to participate in the dedication of the new Soldiers' National Cemetery. His brief "Gettysburg Address," a speech of the people by the people and for the people, memorialized the sacrifices of the soldiers who had struggled at Gettysburg.

In the Bataan "Death March" from April 9 to April 17, 1942, after the U.S. surrender, the Japanese forced American and Filipino prisoners of war to march about 100 kilometers through intense heat with no water or food, killing about 5,000 to 11,000 before they reached the Japanese camps.

       In the Bataan "Death March" from April 9 to April 17, 1942, after the U.S. surrender, the Japanese forced American and Filipino prisoners of war to march about 100 kilometers in intense heat with little water or food, killing about 5,000 to 11,000 before they reached the Japanese camps It is estimated that between 5,000 and 11,000 people died by the time they reached the Japanese camps.

　When people fell and could go no further, the Japanese chose to bayonet or shoot them. Prisoners of war who could not catch up were bayoneted. Those who fell out of line or out of formation were beaten with clubs or rifle butts. Some American POWs who could not catch up were run over by Japanese military vehicles. The bodies of American soldiers who had been run over by tanks were strewn about. The Japanese left the corpses in the middle of the road.

　The march began on April 12, 1942. We started walking and it was about 80 miles from the starting point to the finish line. It doesn't seem far, but we were in terrible shape and about 130 kilometers was a hell of a long way to walk. It took six days to reach San Fernando, where the march ended and we boarded the train. We started our march from Mariveles and walked about 130 km to San Fernando, the railroad terminal. We walked all day, and at night the Japanese took us to a field and made us sleep. I lost the will to lie down.

　We left at sunrise and walked all day until night. We kept walking and just kept walking. During the day there was no food or water. At the end of the day, they were taken to a field or wherever the Japanese wanted to take them and put them to sleep. The next morning it was the same thing all over again. In the morning, they would get up and start walking. This went on for six days. When they fell below a certain walking speed, the Japanese soldiers began shouting. They walked at a shuffling pace, not a fast pace. For the last two days, they walked in formation. They had been starving for a long time and were really exhausted. They looked like a bunch of stragglers, and for four days they were given nothing to eat and no water.

   After the army surrendered, during the Bataan "Death March" from April 9 to April 17, 1942, the Japanese forced American and Filipino prisoners of war to march about 100 kilometers in intense heat with little food or water, killing an estimated 5,000 to 11,000 before they reached the Japanese camps.

Many Hamburg residents died together when they were struck by the heat and debris. Many Hamburg residents died with their families when they were caught in the fire, losing their lives to the heavy rocks.

　　Many Hamburg residents died together, either from the heat or from the debris. Many Hamburg residents died with their families after being caught in the fire and losing their lives to heavy boulders. Tornadoes filled the city with fire, cinders, and debris, sucking especially the old and young toward the fire.

　The July 1943 raid on Hamburg, Germany's second largest city, was called Operation Gomorrah, after the Biblical city destroyed by fire and bricks. Six raids took place until August 3, 1943.

　　The asphalt melted and it was impossible to proceed across the road. Some people in the roadway were already dead, others were still alive and impaled on the asphalt. I ran out onto the roadway. My legs were stuck and I tried to escape with my hands out. They were on their hands and knees, screaming. Thousands of incendiary bombs erupted into fire, causing concentrated destruction. A chain of concentrated and uncontrolled fires turned parts of Hamburg into a furnace. Hot winds rose into the sky and sucked many from the streets. Wind speeds reached 240 kilometers per hour and temperatures reached at least 800 degrees Celsius. Wood, cloth, and flesh caught fire. Glass exploded, metal twisted, and stonework glowed a dull red.

　In 1942, the War Cabinet and the Air Staff decided to destroy all German cities with a population of 100,000 or more. The area of destruction was much larger, about 31 square kilometers. A total of 214 km in length and 16,000 buildings housing 450,000 people were burned from top to bottom. Estimates of the death toll among the citizens of Hamburg ranged between 34,000 and 43,000.

A 17-year-old boy was burned by the Nagasaki atomic bomb explosion. The burns have healed and there are thick scars in some places. The scars on his feet and hands are partially pigmented.

　　A critically wounded Australian soldier in the trenches at the Battle of the Somme awaits evacuation to a hospital By 1916, medical science had advanced to the point where wounded soldiers could be taken to a wounded soldiers' treatment center and expected to survive. Blood transfusions and antibiotics were yet to come, and mortality rates remained high. The rear formation crumbled under a hail of shells. The moans and groans of the wounded, the cries for help, the final cries of death echoed through the air.

　On July 1, 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme in World War I, some 120,000 British infantrymen charged over the summit. Of these, about 19,240 were killed, 35,493 were wounded, 2,152 were missing, and 585 were taken prisoner. Nearly 50% of the attacking force was killed or wounded, reaching 19,240 dead, 35,493 wounded, 2,152 missing, and 585 prisoners of war. German and French forces suffered far fewer casualties than the British.

　The British authorities have focused on the tragedy of the first day and ignored the rest of the battle. The British did not repeat their mistake and concentrated on a limited offensive due to their artillery superiority. The Germans fought according to Falkenhain's demands, defending every foot of French territory, counterattacking all British occupations, and controlling the front edge of the battlefield. As a result, German infantry was constantly exposed to the full weight of British artillery fire, and counterattacks caused a sharp increase in casualties; after July 2, the British inflicted casualties on the Germans that approached the losses sustained; on July 14, a dawn attack by 22,000 men of Rawlinson's First Army opened a hole in German defenses about 5 The attack opened a 5,500-meter hole in the German defenses.

　The Allied superiority in numbers and materiel slowly and steadily drove the Germans into a war of attrition in materials, and at the end of August, under intense political pressure from military failure, the German Emperor dismissed Falkenhayn and replaced him with Hindenburg and Ludendorff, both of whom had been in the somme since the end of the war. The Germans were badly battered on the Somme and recognized that the army's tactical strategy had maximized German casualties.

　Emphasizing that Ludendorff's industrial and political policies contributed greatly to the collapse, he ignored the fact that Ludendorff had restructured the basic principles of German combat. After assuming command, Ludendorff recognized that the Germans had been badly hit on the Somme and that the army's tactical strategy had maximized German casualties.
