105 years ago, On August 6, 1915,, an event occurred that later went down in history as the "attack of the dead". German troops attacking the Russian fortress of Osovets used chemical weapons against its garrison. The Germans hoped to occupy the fortress without a fight, since they thought that practically no one survived the use of chlorine. However, the few defenders of Osovets who remained in the ranks, with the support of artillery, went into the bayonet at the enemy and put him to flight. Details can be found here: link And as an illustration to the described events, I propose to watch the video for the song of the Swedish band "Sabaton" dedicated to this event: YouTube link |
