In 1915, Russian defenders launched a gruesome counterattack that repelled the German invaders. What made it so gruesome? The Russians were the victims of German gas warfare, involving chlorine and bromine gases, which devastated the Russian garrison at Osowiec Fortress. It did not quite work out the way the Germans planned however. The Germans had underestimated the sheer will and determination of the Russian defenders. In this episode, part of our series, Summer of Last Stands, we give you the gore and the glory, the details of the Russian countercharge by survivors that were walking dead men, their flesh dissolving before the eyes of the terrified German offence, as the enemy scrambled in panicked retreat.
