The HORRORS of WWI Tunnellers This video explains World War I tunnel warfare from the first small mining attacks to the massive explosives that changed the ground itself. It starts with why trench warfare forced armies into siege-style solutions, when going over the top stopped working and commanders looked for a way to break enemy lines from below. You will see how the first German mining successes in 1914 and 1915 shocked Allied commanders, how offensive mining and countermining quickly became a separate war under the war, and why Britain built specialized Royal Engineers tunneling companies using civilian miners and “clay kickers” who could dig deeper, faster, and quieter than pick-and-shovel methods. From there, the video walks through how the tunnels were built and how they were fought over. The clay-kicking system, silent timbering, vertical shafts down to stable blue clay, drainage angles, and the constant problems of water, foul air, gas seepage, and cave-ins. It explains the listening war, from improvised vibration methods to stethoscopes and geophones, and how countermining worked with camouflets designed to collapse enemy galleries or make the ground unstable. When tunnels did meet, it became close, desperate fighting in darkness with tools and short weapons, with both sides trying to locate entrances, intercept each other, and prevent a mine from being planted. Finally, the video shows what mining achieved at scale. Early charges, the shift to more powerful explosive mixes like ammonal, and how mines were timed to infantry assaults. It covers major operations from Hill 60 and the Somme to the peak at Messines Ridge in June 1917, where months of deep, concealed digging led to a line of detonations that tore open the ridge, wiped out key defensive positions, and allowed a coordinated attack to advance quickly. The story closes with why some mines remained underground, why a few detonated decades later, and why the craters and remnants of this underground war can still be seen today in Belgium and northern France.
