Underground warfare is not such a fantasy: a similar method of warfare (underground-mine), both with the use of explosives and without them, has been widely known for at least millennia. People have been fighting underground for a long time. "Mines", that is, underground passages, were used in biblical times, including for the collapse of fortress walls. The gunpowder mine was the first to be used by the Turks in 1453 during the siege of Constantinople. And in the following time, underground mine warfare was widely used by different countries. In antiquity and the Middle Ages, undermining was one of the main methods of siege. And in World War I, the “trench” underground war was waged on an unprecedented scale and ferocity. Not only separate fortifications, but also entire sections of the front rose into the air! And later, mine weapons were used, and sometimes very widely, for example.
In this book, we will talk about the most striking episodes of the forgotten underground battles of the First World War.
