Summary

Description
Deutsch: Nächtliche Szene bei Thiepval (7. August 1916). Der Krieg war nicht an den Tag gebunden. Die Notwendigkeit, das Vorfeld bei Nacht im Auge zu behalten und überraschende Angriffe auszuschliesen, fürte zu einer ausgiebigen Verwendung von Leuchtraketen. So waren oft ganze Frontabschnitte in Grelles Licht getaucht.
English: Night scene at Thiepval (August 7th, 1916). The war was not tied to the day. The need to keep an eye on approaches at night and exclude surprise attacks led to an extensive use of flares. So often entire front sections were immersed in bright light.
