German Backstory

The Battle of the Somme resulted in the loss of over 500,000 German lives, even with their entrenched position. Somme was a lot like Verdun, and was built to withstand frontal assaults. With a lot of the German forces already deployed in Verdun, Somme was fortified enough to where it would take days to overthrow.
