Were We Wrong About WW1 Generals? (WW1 Documentary)

When it comes to the First World War there is no more controversial character, or subject of debate than the infamous Generals - the men who were ultimately responsible for leading some of the most bloody and costly fighting in history in places like The Somme, Passchendaele and Verdun. A century after the guns fell silent, the popular image of the Generals in WW1 is of an old, out of touch and frankly incompetent aristocrat sitting miles behind a front line, safely drinking wine in a chateau whilst sending thousands of men, walking, to their deaths - and then repeating the whole process day after day with no regard for the consequences.
