The battle scenes are intense, even by today's standards.
A brief glimpse of soldiers being blown up in a hole
Two characters lose legs. One of them dies later on.
There is a short but disturbing glimpse of a soldier grabbing onto a wire. He is then blown up, and all that is left is his hands still grabbing on the wire. Blood is shown.
A pretty iconic scene where the French soldiers are coming to German trenches and a German soldier shoots the French with a machine gun. We pan across the French being shot down and all of them dying. The same thing happens when the Germans go to the French trenches.
