I'll try---trenches were a series of long ditches dug by sodiers on both sides, between the trenches of the different sides was called no man's land. This area was filled with land mines and barbed wire and various booby traps and generally looked like a destroyed moonscape with craters, discarded equipment, dead bodies etc. whenever ordered, one side would attack the other straight on charging the enemy lines trying to take the other's trenches and acquire territory. This would go back and forth with one side or the other advancing and then being overtaken.
Pretty dammned stupid but, this is what was done for many years in ww1. More.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
