During the First World War Karl Von Wiegand (1874 – 1961) was the foreign correspondent for the Hearst News Syndicate; he was also an eye witness to the opening British attack on the Somme (July 1, 1916), which he observed from the German side of no-man’s land:
“We stood awe-stricken. Mankind, like Frankenstein, was being devoured by the monster it had created”.
