I think I read in the book D-Day that the Germans would have their mortars sighted in on their own trenches, so that when they retreated, the attackers (British, Canadians, and Americans) if they used the same trenches, they caught holy hell from the German mortars. I'm sure they had plenty of little tricks like that to cause as many casualties as possible.
