Located in northeastern France, the battle was fought between the German and French armies from February to December 1916 and is considered one of the longest and bloodiest battles of the Great War. Hill 304 was a central feature of the battlefield, as it was the highest point in the area and offered a strategic advantage to the army that controlled it. The hill was originally a French fort that was captured by the Germans early in the battle. It was heavily fortified and equipped with underground tunnels, bunkers, and artillery positions, making it a formidable stronghold.
