The Attack of the Dead Men: WWI's Most Terrifying Battle

In August 1915, during the brutal fighting on the Eastern Front of World War I, the Imperial German Army deployed thirty specialized gas batteries containing lethal chlorine and bromine against Osowiec Fortress.

Discover the incredible true story of the Attack of the Dead Men, how Sub-Lieutenant Vladimir Kotlinsky led this legendary counter-attack, and how a handful of dying men completely routed an entire German division.
