Soldiers run out of the smoke. Soldiers carry the wounded out of the smoke. German soldiers in trench warfare; throwing stick grenades and shooting flame throwers. Other soldiers climb out of the trench and attack (enemy is unseen, if there is one-could be a training exercise for the benefit of the group of officers seen prior to explosion).
