Was Britain’s Most Hated General Actually Right? The Truth About Douglas Haig | To Fall Asleep to

For more than a century, one man has been blamed for the slaughter of the First World War. Field Marshal Douglas Haig — the commander of the British Army on the Western Front. To many people, he is remembered as the “Butcher of the Somme”, the general who sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers into machine-gun fire during battles like The Somme and Passchendaele. But is that reputation actually fair? Because the same man accused of wasting lives also commanded the army that defeated Germany in 1918 during the devastating Hundred Days Offensive. In this documentary we explore the full story of Douglas Haig — from his early military career and the expansion of the British Army, to the horrors of trench warfare, the disasters of the Somme, the nightmare of Passchendaele, and the final Allied victory that ended the war. Was Haig an incompetent general stuck in outdated tactics? Or was he a commander fighting the first modern industrial war, where every army struggled to adapt to machine guns, artillery, and trench warfare? This film tells the complete story and examines the question historians still debate today: Was Douglas Haig really a donkey… or the general who helped win World War One?
