* The Artilleryman's plan You have to rebuild society underground - unrealistic, sure, admit, the Martians are terrifying, but they also inspire quite a bit of RootingForTheEmpire. There's a reason the sheer enthusiasm and gusto makes it believable.

* The narrator's realisation of the Martians' defeat - not by military means but by bacterial infection. Richard Burton's Narrator gives the moment a lot of gravity:

Slain, after all man's devices had failed, by the humblest things upon the Earth: bacteria. Minute, invisible bacteria! Directly the invaders arrived and drank and fed, our microscopic allies attacked them. From that moment...they were ''doomed.''
