The central powers loved the power that all of the machine guns could do, and they knew that they had more power. However, the Allied powers in the beginning, had less machine guns and knew that when the Central powers were firing at them, it would have devastating outcomes. The only similar factor was that they both knew that machine guns had a lot of power, and could destroy a lot.

The Allied powers talked about how the men still looked on the bright side and that made trench life a little bit less horrid, but the Central powers perspective was all negativity in the trenches. ]]> 2020-03-19 15:55:54 UTC https://padlet.com/phibro/rrj0t1s0bwyx/wish/466542534 https://padlet.com/phibro/rrj0t1s0bwyx/wish/466561293 Alyssa Schauer: The medics perspective was interesting to hear.

Both sides had a very different outlook about machine guns. The Central Powers loved having machine guns because of all the powers they had. The Allied Powers, in the beginning, thought the machine guns didn't have much power. They also knew that the Central Powers were firing at them with excessive use and they also had more.

Both sides were similar in the fact that trench life was not for the weak, and it was horrid. Both of the perspectives talked about rotting things, awful experiences, and knee-deep mud.

They were amazed at the deadliness of the Machine Gun. The Allied Powers however were scared of them. Or at least the destruction that was caused by the Machine guns.

Both sides had a very different outlook on them. For example, the Allied Powers were a little bit skeptic in the beginning because they did not have nearly as many.

Both the Allied and Central powers have very similar experiences. They both seem to have had to deal with very horrible things. From rotting limbs to the fronts of people's faces being blown off.

They liked the machine gun and saw them as a very destructive weapon. They could see men falling in hundreds when they were shooting and it was very devastating for the allied powers. The allied powers although felt different about these powerful weapons. They felt out numbered because they had less then the central powers. The machine guns tore through their men and stopped their armies from advancing. Therefore they didn't like them. ]]> 2020-03-23 13:49:00 UTC https://padlet.com/phibro/rrj0t1s0bwyx/wish/470976672 https://padlet.com/phibro/rrj0t1s0bwyx/wish/470980063 Conner Komperud - The Central and Allied Powers had very different perspectives about machine guns. The Central Powers loved the power the machine guns brought them and how easy it was to take out mass amounts of soldiers. The Allied Powers were not fans of the machine guns, they knew the Central Powers had more of them than they did which led to more power.

The central powers didn't have much water so they had to almost fight for it. They were sick of the trenches and didn't like them. They said that the trenches would be very muddy and they would smell like rotten flesh. Their were arms and heads of other soldiers laying around. The allied powers didn't feel much different about the trenches. The men said that they were knee-deep in mud and the earth would sometimes crumble beneath them. They did have some things to cheer them up though and that was the battalion men.

They didn't have the best and right equipment for the job so they had to work with what they had. The nurses hated the smell of rotten limbs but they had to deal with it. A lot of the medics didn't understand why the was called a holy war when their would be people with half their head gone coming in.

The lack of resources and the fact that there were getting sick, and they couldn't do anything about it. They both agreed that it was the hardest thing that they had to do. The Allied Powers had less then the Central powers and was challenged to take them down. They had a big advantage because the had the machine guns, and they would take down their troops at a hundred men at a time.

The Central Powers didn't like the trench system. They did not get fresh water and there were dead, rotten bodies. On top of that, it was cold. One of the sergeants shared his experience with the cold temperatures. In the middle of the day, he had boiling hot water and by 5 pm, it was frozen solid. "It was frozen so hard that an ordinary knife made hardly any impression on it." The conditions were said to be terrible and, in my opinion, not meant for people to be living in. 
The Allied Powers, also, hated the trench system. There was "gluing mud," making it so much harder to do anything. There was a man was holding another man that had been injured. The mud was so sticky that he had started sinking down and as he tried to push of the mud to get back up, he was touching another mans face that was buried. The trenches were described as wet and cold (mainly at night). Also, it was said to be full of tired and starving men. All in all both sides hated living in the trenches, it was cold, wet, dirty and just overall unlivable for people.

The Central Powers loved machine guns. That's all they really used. They really loved the power they had when they used them, "never had the machine gunners such straightforward work to do nor done it so effectively." They could take down everyone and they could do it so easily. They loved it.
The Allied Powers were different. They were pretty intimidated by the machine guns because they did not have nearly as many as the Central Powers.

They both had to deal with wounds ranging from easy to deal with to wounds that they had not been prepared for. Both sides had to deal with the fowl stench of rotting flesh and corpses. Some of the wounds had been of soldiers getting their body parts blown off, or part of the body part. "But it is multiple wounds that appear worst, men almost in pieces, the number intensifies the horror, we get so few slight cases."

The Allied and Central Powers had some similarities. This was their hate for the trenches. The Allied Powers had mud up to their knees. There were corpses through out the trenches. The Central Powers also hated the trenches. There was mud everywhere and the trenches were rotten and smelled. There was also no fresh, clear water for them to drink.

Machine Gun differences-
Both side had different perspectives on machine guns and how it made them feel. 
The Central Powers had lots of machine guns and loved to use them, "Fire until the barrels burst". They liked the power that the machine guns had and the harm they can cause.

The Allied Powers and Central Powers both hated the trenches and they both didn't like all the body of men and how muddy and wet it was down in the trenches. The Central Powers were different from the Allied powers because they didn't get much water and sometimes they would wait for the ice in the shell holes they would use to make hot tea.

The Allied Powers and Central Powers both agreed that the Machine guns were powerful and they both wanted it but they didn't get it that way.
The Central powers had most of the power, they even had the machine guns unlike the allied powers. They talked about how they could take down a line of men using the machine Guns.
