The docudrama focuses on the everyday life of simple soldiers and officers during the battle. A small town with only 22,000 inhabitants. And yet Verdun became a symbol of France's resilience in World War I in 1916. In the battle, which lasted 300 days, an estimated 350,000 men died. Ninety years later, the film depicts some of the fates of German and French soldiers in re-enacted scenes. The film was based on letters and diaries they had once written. | ||
Most of the black and white scenes are taken from the 1930 ''The Somme'' and 1931 ''Douaumont'' movies. | |||
