Dressed To Kill

            A German assault squad with trench armor (Grabenpanzer), grenades and trench clubs pose for the camera. Although many historians claim that the Germans abandoned trench armor because of its weight, I am inclined to believe now that the Germans continued to utilize the armor not just for forward observers and machine gunners but for quick trench raids. Thomas Wictor has concluded that older pioneers with flamethrower apparatus managed to keep up with their younger unencumbered counterparts. For a quick raid to take prisoners, gather information or take a section of trench, this armor would not have been a burden.
