This thought becomes a lot worse when you think in ww1 there where a lot and I mean a lot of solider that straight up drown in mud with the rainfall of ww1 it could have gotten soft enough for a body to get buried in that not just trenches
@snoozywaffle8547 well not only that, but mutilated by the thousands rats. Whatever was left would probably be blown up anyways and be unrecognizable in the literal DAYS of constant artillery fire. Ww1 was absolutely hell.

Worst part is, the Zone Rogue (French for zone red) is a line that runs across the Western front of WW1 where it is still impossible to live due to bomb shells and the use of mustard gas
in world war one and two! They would have straightened trench systems.. which would often result in shells landing in the trench causing shrap metal to inflict Heavy casualties! Now dayz we zig zag are trenches so a machine gunner cant hop in and mow down a bunch of soliders or a shell lands in and whipes everyone thats close out!
People still find helmets and artillery shells in ww1 battlegrounds like the somme and mametz wood due to the amount of people who died there, the somme especially.
1914: we’ll be home by Christmas. 1915: we’ll be home by Christmas. 1916: we’re probably gonna be home by Christmas. 1917: save me from this living nightmare.. 1918: why are we even fighting a conflict over an archduke being shot…?
wouldve been awesome if they preserved the trenches, started rebuilding them, but i know it would be pretty dangerous for a multitude of readons and disrespectful to some of the dead.
Terrifying fact: There were longer and more trenches at the battle of Kursk than in the entirety of WW1 across all front. It really puts to scale how big WW2 was.
I wonder if aliens found this in the far future if they’d be able to figure out what horrors had taken place here just from the patches of mismatched sediment
