WWI Combat **ONLY copy down what is in BLUE

NEW WAR TACTICS U-BOATS TRENCH WARFARE POISON GAS AIRCRAFT - Zeppelins - Fighter Planes

U- Boat (SUBMARINES) Primary Targets: - Supply ships and Troop transports On May 7 th 1915, - Lusitania was sunk - 1,198 died of them American. ***This is what causes the US to get involved 1917 Germany declares “Unrestricted Submarine Warfare” & attacks every ship they see U-Boats sank 5,000 allied ships in WWI

Trench Warfare

“We dug through the mud and muck trying to get deeper and deeper…away from the shells and machine guns. We dug through mud, rocks, and bodies, it was impossible not to dig through rotting bodies…they were everywhere…..”

Trenches Main Function: - Protect troops from shots & shells Secondary Function: - Funneled attacking troops into areas covered by machine guns & cannon

Trench Foot

Attacking Trenches “Over The Top” sending waves of enemy trenches Result: massive death count Poison Gas:  would land in or seep into trenches killing unprepared soldiers

Going Over The Top

Shell Shock The constant pounding of artillery caused permanent brain damage referred to as “shell shock”. Soldiers would spend the rest of their lives shaking violently.

Dug Outs

Trench Weapons Guns were too long and fired too slow for fighting in the trenches

Barbed Wire Purpose Slow down enemy to be picked off by snipers or machine gun fire

When men became caught on the wire they were easy targets

Poison Gas Types of Gas: Tear –(mace like): causes eyes to tear and nose to run excessively, blurring vision Chlorine – ruined lung tissue, soldiers drowned in their own blood and snot Mustard Gas – melted lung tissue, severely burnt eyes, lungs, armpits and groin

Mustard Gas Attack

Mustard Gas Wounds

Protection from Gas At first there was no such thing as a “gas mask” – someone figured out that if you covered your face with a rag soaked in urine it protected you Then they invented gas masks! Wow that must have been a relief! No true “protection” from mustard gas

Gas Masks

TANKS PURPOSE cross “No Man’s Land” Shield for troops protected infantry smashed barbed wire a crossed trenches

“Little Willie” – The 1 st Tank (had no main gun)

Early German Tank

Tanks didn’t always have radios

Armored “Tank” Train

Aircraft

Zeppelins Blimp like Flew from Germany to England at night and bombed English cities Defense: machine guns Weakness: filled with flammable Hydrogen gas

Fighter Planes Purpose: attacking enemy zeppelins and hot air balloons, and each other

American Fighter Aces Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker – 1 st American Ace Race car driver joined air corps Shot down 26 Germans

German Fighter Aces “The Red Baron” – Manfred von Richthoven 80 kills Killed on Aug 21 st 1918 – created big confusion, both Australian ground machine guns and Canadian pilots were shooting at him, who killed the Red Baron?
