Jr: We'll be watching something that you will be glad it's kinda improved over the years

Inko: What is it

Jr: In the army, they called it trenches

What Was Life Like in the Trenches of World War 1.

Tsu: WW1?

Jr: Trenches were used in the Western Front during WW1, don't worry we'll get to that as well

Soldiers lived in narrow trenches dug into the ground. The conditions were horrible. Let's have a look.

Recovery Girl: I don't like how that sound

Boredom was a constant problem. Soldiers carried out their chores and tried to catch sleep whenever they had an opportunity.

Kaminari: What's wrong with sleeping

Jr: In Wartime, there's barely any sleep for the soldiers since there's war 24/7 until the war ends

Soldiers on the front line were far away from home and their families.

Della: Soldiers were recruited to have one job, that is kill the enemy or force them to surrender

Momo: How many "World Wars" are there and where does it take place

Della: There's only 2 World Wars and both mostly take place in Europe

They wrote diaries and letters to record their experiences. Trenches were smelly and full of water. Standing in the water too long often caused a disease called "Trench Foot." Rats, the sizes of cats, infested the trenches, feeding off dead bodies.

Everyone got disgusted from what all the soldiers have to face through in the trenches.

As well as this, lice sat inside clothing, causing itching and trench fever. "Shell Shock" was a frequent trauma caused by the fighting and bombing of the front line.

Everyone: (Shell Shock)

Symptoms included panic attacks and blank stares.

Recovery Girl: All they are doing is putting bad health and PTSD to their own soldiers in those trenches

Twice: Not to mention how disgusting it is

Of course, diseases wasn't the only danger. Soldiers were in constant fear of snipers and artillery. Popping your head above the trenches was incredibly dangerous, so periscopes could be used while on watch.

Bakuhoe: Enemy or not, I'll charge in their stupid trenches and blast them all to hell

Aizawa: Unless you're willing to get shot out there, just charging at the enemy is a poor decision unless you have a plan that will work

Going over the top to attack the enemy into No Man's Land was the most dreaded order a soldier would hear.

The video ends

Jr: Well, what do you think

Everyone then started complaining on how poor and disgusting it was to be in the trenches. After that, they said that they were glad they wouldn't be going in one during a wartime.

Deku: Is all the trenches like that

Jr: Not all of them, the German's trenches are actually better than the other trenches because of it being more advance

Me: Sorry this isn't as long chapter but what weapons, machines, and gear would you use from either country from WW1 and/or WW2?

Jr:

(Insert Jr. shooting me)

Me: AHH

A/N: Is this getting old now, if so sorry
