France took the bigger hit they knew they had no chance of beating Germany but they fought until they were killed two soldiers stated "You eat beside the dead; you drink beside the dead, you relieve yourself beside the dead and you sleep beside the dead."
"People will read that the front line was Hell. How can people begin to know what that one
word - Hell - means."
As you can see there was no break in the war they kept going even through there greving."The string in France has reached breaking point. A mass break-through - which in any case is beyond our means - is unnecessary. Within our reach there are objectives for the retention of which the French General Staff would be compelled to throw in every man they have. If they do so the forces of France will bleed to death."Falkenhayn to Kais
er William II
