In the trenches of World War I, death wasn’t a dramatic event. It was routine. Tonight’s story walks you through the grim reality of losing friends daily — until you stop feeling anything at all. There are no grand speeches, no heroics. Just mud, silence, and the quiet horror of learning to function while surrounded by ghosts. If you've ever wondered what it was really like to endure the Great War, this is the part no one wants to talk about.

Settle in. Dim the lights. And prepare for the quietest kind of nightmare.
