How trench warfare was fought?

During WWI, in trench warfare, German armies dug holes in the ground that were 6 to 8 ft. tall, and wide enough that 2 soldiers could walk side by side at the same time! Trench warfare was fought by one group of soldiers advancing across no mans land to assault the enemy trench quickly, before returning to their trench to apply defensive fire on the enemy, who has retaliated by assaulting their trench. Then the enemy return once fire has ceased. Then they wait for the next move to be made.
