Since I am leaving and not likely to be back until Tuesday. I will provide the answer so the quiz can move on without me. I am positive some of you would have come up with it before long...


Here is a good site you can visit to learn about it...

It has links to the historical background of the prison and photographs that I found astounding...

Not sure what the bold means, translation problem I'm sure. You got three anyways. I think probably the most important would include razor wire, (see trench warfare). That together with the introduction of the machine gun.

Kathianne, he's talking about breach-loading guns, as opposed to muzzle loading guns. Muzzle-loaders are ones where you ram the bullet down the length of the muzzle before each shot. A breach loader allowed a soldier to pop a cartridge into the barrel, close the breach, and fire. This allowed repeater rifles, machine guns, etc.

For your answer, it's not really that, but it's really not far. If nobody gives the exact answer, you'll have the "point"
