WWI IN COLOUR - EPISODE 7 - TACTICS AND STRATEGY

WWI saw the introduction of technical innovation and industrial weapons manufacture on an unprecedented scale. Poison gas, fighter aircraft, heavy bombers, railway guns and heavy duty mines all took their toll of millions of Europe's armies.

As well as mechanical innovation, there was a gradual development of tactics and strategy which have been painstakingly researched and explained in this special programme using state of the art computer graphics in order to explain how the scientists and military commanders attempted to break the stalemate of the Western Front.

Shock troops, underground mining, strategic bombing and the introduction of the tank all played their part in revolutionising the form which the war took over 4 years, so that by 1918, a total transformation had taken place in fighting methodology. This programme shows how these great changed took place.
