ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS LISTING:

This is about the Massive March 1918 German assaults on British positions that separated the British and French troops and drove the British backwards. There was a meeting and French General Foch ws appointed to run all the Allied Armies. The British were now under French command. Seven months later the war was won.

On 21 March 1918, Germany initiated one of the most ferocious offensives of the First World War. During the so-called Kaiserschlacht, German troops advanced on allied positions in a series of attacks which caused massive casualties, separated British and French forces, and drove the British back towards the Channel ports. Five days later, as the German advance continued, one of the most dramatic summits of the war took place in Doullens. The outcome was to have extraordinary consequences. For the first time an allied supreme commander -- the French General, Foch -- was appointed to command all the allied armies, while the statesmen realised that unity of purpose rather than national interest was ultimately the key to success. Within a few months a policy of defence became one of offence, and paved the way for British success at Amiens and the series of unbroken British victories that led Germany to plea for armistice. Victory in November 1918 was a matter for celebration; what was excised from history was how close Britain was to ignominious defeat just eight months earlier.
