The First World War: A fresh appraisal of the Western Front covering the period 1915-17. German storm troopers emerged, artillery became more important than machine guns or tanks and more than 200 generals were killed in action, shattering the myth that many hid behind the lines. The programme reveals there was a succession of minor truces between rival forces and not just a brief instance at Christmas.
