EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Fort de Douaumont: The Artillery Preparation Before the Assault - May 22, 1916 This evocative photograph captures the ominous scene of the Fort de Douaumont in France during the First World War. Taken from an aerial view, the image shows the extensive preparation of artillery before the intense battle of Verdun, which began on May 22, 1916. The fort, a significant French fortification on the Western Front, is shown with extensive damage from previous bombings and explosions. The destruction is evident in the ruins of buildings and the craters left behind from the intense shelling. The photograph, titled "Le Fort de Douaumont. La préparation d'artillerie; le 22 mai, à 10 heures. -- deux heures avant l'assaut," is from the "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVII. La Guerre Janvier, Fevrier, Mars, Avril, Mai, Juin 1916." The image is a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of war and the destruction it leaves behind. The fort, once a symbol of French military strength, now stands as a testament to the brutal conflict that raged across Europe during the 20th century. The exact creator of this photograph remains unknown, adding to its historical intrigue. The image is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the enduring impact of war on the landscape and the people who lived there.
