Takodje, mogao bi netko vise napisati o cuvenoj taktici engleza o kopanju tunela ispod njemackih rovova, i dizanje u zrak rovova odozdo... i danas postoje krateri, isto kao vulkanske rupetine jbt, kakve su to eksplozije bile.

ako se nevaram tako nešto se prvi puta pojavilo u američkom građanskom ratu?
sad se nemogu tocno sjetiti koja strana je kojoj to napravila...ali nekako mi se čini da je to Jug napravio Sjeveru ...znam da je bila ogromna rupetina puna mrtvih i osakaćenih...
čini mi se da su iskopali tunel i onda donijeli ogroman broj bačvi punih exploziva,ravno ispod neprijatelja
da...evo uspio sma izguglat
During the Siege of Vicksburg, in 1863, Union troops led by General Ulysses S. Grant
tunnelled under the Confederate trenches and detonated the mine beneath
the 3rd Louisiana Redan on June 25, 1863. The following assault, led by
General John A. Logan,
gained a foothold in the Confederate trenches where the crater was
formed, but the attackers were eventually forced to withdraw.
A more famous instance occurred during the
Siege of Petersburg: Union troops dug a tunnel under the
Confederate
lines at Elliott's Salient and packed its end with vast amounts of
gunpowder. When set off, the resulting explosion killed about 300
soldiers. It might have been decisive if not for the faulty Union tactic
of storming into, rather than around, the resulting crater, allowing
the defenders to shoot down onto attackers unable to climb the steep
crater sides. The combat was accordingly known as the
Battle of the Crater. The horror of this engagement was portrayed in the
Charles Frazier novel, and subsequent
Anthony Minghella movie,
Cold Mountain
