Abstract

The last episode of the Battle of Verdun took place in December 1916. At that time, the French army, having a considerable advantage in this section of the front, conducted a daring offensive. Four French divisions were opposed by five German divisions, including the 10th Infantry Division from the Province of Posen. The French side threw elite colonial divisions into the fray, who conducted daring strikes and managed to recapture ground that was lost in the previous months. This area included sites that have grown to become symbols and legends of the Battle of Verdun – the Fort de Douaumont and the village of Douaumont.
