“I just call a volunteer standing two steps next to me who holds his head out for too long after the shot. At that moment, his head jolts, the familiar and terrible dull sound of the bullet’s impact sounds, and the man slowly collapses. The bullet penetrated the forehead and tore off half the skullcap behind. Still mid-fall, he claws his hands into the wound and smears himself over and over with his own brain. It was a terrible sight.” CombatWw1War StoryWar MemoirThe Great WarWar Diary Book:The Other Trench: The WW1 Diary and Photos of a German Officer Source: The Other Trench: The WW1 Diary and Photos of a German Officer
