Blowing Half a Mountain: WWI's Largest Mine in the Dolomites I SLICE HISTORY | FULL DOCUMENTARY

The largest mine blown on the Italian front literally destroyed half the mountain side of this strategic point in the Dolomite mountains. We interview descendants of the Austrians and Italians who fought and commanded the troops across treacherous terrain in harsh winter mountain conditions and explore the existing trenches and tunnels that criss-cross this achingly beautiful front line.
