'Faces of Death ' style portrayal of Real Death is displayed. Soldiers' corpses in varying states of decay and disfigurement are shown throughout the film, many in close-up.
Comparatively less battle action is on display, with most of the violence being aftermath. Soldiers are shown alive but injured, and a couple of times are treated for bullet wounds, which may be difficult to watch.
Oral narration of the expected events of war (including particular and horrific stories) is given alongside the visuals. This can be quite disturbing.
Very graphic closeups of soldiers suffering from severe frostbite. The flesh on their feet are blue, with skin hanging off and meat and bones visible.
Artillery is show hitting a group of soldiers on horse back.
A man tells a very graphic story about seeing a man who is semi-conscious lying on the ground with his stomach opened, and his lungs expanding with every breath. The man tells about how he had to put the soldier out of his misery, and he begins to break down.
Horrible stories of soldiers getting eaten by rats in the middle of the night. Some images and closeups of the act.
Real videos of a mustard gas attack.
