Air date: Mar 20, 2022

In the First World War, 1916 is the year of Verdun and the killing fields of the Somme, in which millions will die. As a result it is understandable why this year of all others in WWI has been called the descent into hell... A new kind of world and a new kind of war. The Great War In Numbers tells the story of ammunition, guns, ships, aircraft and men that will die in their millions. A war fought by calculating generals for which no cost is too high.
