Re: Т. е....

Достаточно 1 минуту даже просто погуглить, а не посмотреть литературу и опубликованные воспоминания по теме (да, я в курсе, что новохронологи ленивы).
Notes for bombing units issued by the General Staff (1916: 20), recommended that soldiers should be ready to use ‘a bayonet or special stabbing knife or weapon for hand-to-hand fighting, such as an axe or knobkerry (trench club)’.
Sassoon (Sassoon S. The Complete Memoirs of George Sherston. London, 1940, 302) recalls in his memoirs, his preparation for a raid on the enemy’s trenches: ‘it was time to be moving; I took off my tunic slipped my old raincoat on over my leather waistcoat, dumped my tin hat on my head, and picked up my nail-studded knobkerrie [sic]’.

Members of the raiding parties were often issued with weapons designed for close combat. British private Basil Farrer described one particularly lethal type of trench club.
I do remember too seeing our bombers, and I’d never seen them, but they were issued with – it was the first time I’d seen them – knobkerries with nails in the end. Studs. Never seen those before. I remember very well one of them waved it about. Fortunately I had a tin hat on because he hit me on top of the head with it – even then I felt it. And if it had caught you without the tin hat… They were nasty looking things. The idea was you’d throw a bomb down the dugout – if there were any survivors, as they came out you’d wallop them with this club.

Lt Benson was wounded in three places, including a severe gunshot wound to the face, but continued fighting his way up the trench single handed, with bombs and rifle, until he had no bombs left and all his ammunition was exhausted. He stayed at his post in the trench and succeeded in killing a German officer with a trench club. He made certain that everyone had gone back, before fighting his way back down the trench, using an enemy rifle and trench club. He stopped at the two men on the wire, and assuring himself that they were dead, and therefore it was not worth any more risk in trying to bring them back.

>Вот, казалось бы, человек про семилетнюю войну
А я вот не собираюсь читать книжки новохронолога ни под каким соусом, даже если они про Семилетнюю войну. Ценность, думаю, = 0.
