Starfish defenses and underground dugouts described in German front lines
German reports detail "starfish" defenses with five tunnels branching from a 30 foot underground chamber storing machine guns and rifles. Tunnels open to six outlets with covered mouths, gun platforms, and explosives. A key sortie tactic involved rapid redeployment of machine guns to surface via outlets as French forces advanced. Capture of one outlet shifted combat to others, making the tunnel network hard to seize and costly in lives.
