The Chemin des Dames entered the collective memory of having been the scene of several deadly battles of the First World War. Craonne and the California Plateau: A true natural fortress at the heart of the German defensive device during the Great War, the California Plateau remained a goal strategic until 1918: the plateau was crossed by tunnels leading to fortified caverns (such as the Cave of the Dragon or the Winterberg Tunnel). But while Verdun was quickly erected as a national symbol of victory, the California Plateau and the Chemin des Dames were long associated with the crushing failure of the April 1917 Nivelle offensive and the Craonne mutinies that followed. The name Craonne, located at the heart of the Battle of the Chemin des Dames, was popularized by La Chanson de Craonne who remains associated with the 1917 mutineers of the First World War.

There is a strategic location during the First World War and more specifically during the Nivelle offensive, during the Battle of Observatories. It was the Germans who, during their occupation of the cave, nicknamed it the Dragon Cave (Drachenhöhle in German). The flames and sparks of the machine guns, coming out of the entrances to the cave during the fights, reminded them of the flames spewed by dragons from their caves.
