You have to remember that Blackadder is a comedy and therefore it has been made for audience, therefore alot of the truth is exaggerated as it has not been made to be accurate.
However there are some accurate points- disease spread quickly throughout the trenches and there was lots of it. It talks about a low supply of ration which is also correct. Furthermore, soldiers really did go mad, alot of soldiers suffered from shell shock or traumatic experience's. This caused them to go mad and some even got sent home it was so bad
However, it is not totally accurate for example, it does not truly show how bad conditions for example, there is no mention of the mud or rats. Although, rations were low they never had to make up meals. mud for coffee etc, the meals were very boring but they kept the men well nourished. Finally, very few men would have occupied the trenches for that priod of time. After a while they would hav got turfed out of their bunk to serve and man guns etcc.. when they got back someone would be in that trench and a new one would have to be found.
Blackadder Goes Forth is a comedy series and should not be taken as an accurate historical representation of World War I. While the show does touch on some historical events and themes, it employs satire and exaggeration for comedic effect. It is important to seek out more comprehensive and reliable sources for an accurate understanding of World War I.

Why was there no gas used in World War 2?
Poison gas is really not a very good weapon of warfare, because although it can be very deadly, it is not very accurate; it goes wherever the wind blows it. So the gas you use might poison enemy troops, or it might poison your own troops. Poison Gas was outlawed by the Geneva Convention after WWI, thou it was still used in small amounts during WWII. This use did not include the massive use of poison gas to kill the Handicapped and then the Jewish people in WWII by the Nazi's (German's)
