-March 21, 1918.

In the final year of the Great War. Germany launches an assault known as "The Spring Offensive".

As part of this final push for victory, Germany unleashed a new type of gas; Sturmnebel, designed to bring a swift and silent death for their enemies. 

The gas attacks are relentless, blanketing the British trenches in a toxic cloud. And leaving a haunting silence in their wake.

On the front lines, German troops advance cautiously. Unsurprisingly,  the trenches were filled with British corpses. When one German soldier was walking among the dead, a cold, decaying hand grabbed the German soldier's feet.

When he turned around, a dead British soldier rise from the ground and attacked the German soldier. 

The German soldier repeatedly shot the British corpse. But it seems like the British corpse is impervious to bullets.

Panic spreads as more corpses rise, clawing and biting with feral intensity. The German soldiers are trained for combat, but not with this unnatural horror, are quickly overwhelmed.

The undead tear through the ranks, their numbers growing with each fallen soldier.

For an hour, the German soldiers fight an unfair battle from the start. Their cries and screams swallowed by the eerie silence of the trenches.

The undead climbed up the trenches, and advance along No man's land.

Another German soldier, who managed to sneak around the undead, accidentally made a splashing noise in the mud which alerted the undead. The German soldier, tried to run and hide, but slowed down by the thick mud. 

The German soldier tried to hide in the dugout, but out of fear, the German soldier made too much noise and wasn't being very stealthy. It was too late, the undead cornered the German soldier, and the German soldier ultimately fell to the undead.
