This video focuses on German WWI trench armor, also known as grabenpanzer or sappenpanzer. Contrary to popular belief, it wasn't for trench raiding due to mobility restrictions. Instead, it was designed for stationary soldiers like sentries and machine gunners to provide protection against distant rifle and machine gun fire. Testing indicated it could stop rifle bullets at 400-500 yards, making it potentially life-saving for personnel like MG08 gunners. The showcased set includes torso armor, a Stahlhelm, a reproduction liner, and an armored browplate.
