Waddell Posted 5 December , 2018 Share Posted 5 December , 2018 Currently reading Alastair Horne's 'The Price of Glory' about Verdun. In describing the first German attack after the bombardment Horne wrote of the German troops occupying the French trenches- "Up rushed the attendant German machine-gun teams to man the captured weapons, and the crews with oxyacetylene torches to cut through the remaining French barbed wire". I haven't come across that before. Is that correct that wire was cut with oxy-acetylene equipment? Particularly that soon after taking a trench.
