At the conclusion of this enormous expenditure of blood and treasure, the lines were little changed from where they had been in early February. French guns at Verdun fired over 10,000,000 rounds with the field artillery, over 1,000,000 medium-calibre rounds, and 600,000 large-calibre rounds. From February through July, the Germans had used 43 divisions. With that the active period of the Battle of Verdun came to an end.įrom February 21 to June 15, the French army had fielded 66 divisions at Verdun by December 1916, roughly 75 percent of the French army had seen action on the Meuse. Local fighting continued throughout the month, and the final significant German attack, on September 3, yielded no gains. The French retook Thiaumont on August 3 and Fleury the following day, with the Germans regaining Thiaumont on August 8.
The advance crumpled up on the slopes of Souville, and another German attack on August 1 failed. On July 11 the Germans made yet another attack on Verdun, assaulting the line from Vaux to Souville with 12 regiments. The general Allied infantry assault began on July 1, and the British suffered nearly 60,000 casualties-with 20,000 killed-on the first day alone. The preliminaries of the great Franco-British offensive on the Somme started on June 24 with a weeklong artillery barrage.
