As a little child I recieved one to play with in the sand on the beach. Now I have a real metal spade, with which I can take big chunks of sand. I have to think about it when I see the pictures of the trenches. Can you really protect yourself in such a trench against all the bullets, bombes and granades? Just imagine ... you have to sit there for days: eat, drink, sleep ... in brief live, winter and summer.
