This ruined three-loophole machinegun pillbox still retaines its outer shape. But there's no layer of reinforced concrete thick enough to withstand a huge internal explosion. Dozens of artillery or mortal shells deliberately placed inside, sometimes coupled with dedicated explosive material, result in a detonation which wipes the interior clean. Fighting chambers and interior walls evaporate, floor collapses down into the storey below and the mighty structure breaks open.
Hours and days of hard labor, sweat and cursing, hunger and fear – everything useless, everything forgotten, the whole world turned into rubble now cracklling under my feet.
This is how empires collapse.
