The complete panoramas of Passchendaele from the author of The
Battlefields of the First World War. Today, concertina'd into a
single sombre entity known as Passchendaele, the British 1917
offensives in Belgian Flanders have entered the English language as
the epitome of all that was both wretched and noble about the Great
War. Collectively known as the Third Battle of Ypres, the fighting
raged from early June until mid-November, and revealed new depths
of tragedy, heights of gallantry, astonishing stoicism, humour,
loss, grief, and terrible human suffering. The remains of no less
than 200,000 soldiers still lie unfound within the narrow
boundaries of the battlefield of Passchendaele. The German
panoramas - many of which have not seen the light of day since the
end of the war - match and often surpass the Imperial War Museum
for both scale and quality. Like their British equivalents, they
were taken at huge personal risk by specialist photographers. All
the panoramas reveal what no other photographs can - the view
beyond the trench parapet - and a great deal more. Also included
are unpublished testimony, letters and memoirs from all the
different regiments who served on the Somme, sourced from the
regimental archives across the United Kingdom, Ireland and
elsewhere; stunning mapping, plans and diagrams throughout; and
equivalent aerial photographs.
