Description
The Spring Offensive and Hundred Days 1918 is a study of the pivotal year of 1918 on the Western Front, where the German army launched a series of assaults against the British and Empire forces. The book examines the German tactics and the response of the British Army, featuring specially commissioned artwork and archive photos. The fighting on the Western Front was intense, with both sides' forces tested to the limit. The German army's initial progress was short-lived, as the Allies took the offensive and drove the Germans back. This book assesses the fighting men on both sides during the climactic months of 1918, providing a detailed analysis of the events and their impact. With expert commentary and carefully chosen archive materials, this study offers a comprehensive look at the Spring Offensive and the Hundred Days, shedding light on the experiences of those who fought on the Western Front during this critical period.
