The abandoned artillery position seen in the German section is much too close, situated just behind the German trenches. During trench warfare on the western front, the artillery was placed a few miles behind the trenches on both sides so that the guns would have a better distance to fire at the enemy. For example if the guns fired too close to the enemy lines then the artillery could miss the trenches as the guns were designed to fire for several miles. By firing from several miles, the artillery would have had a better chance on killing the enemy with plunging fire dropped into the trenches while also being safe from trench raids.
