The German spring offensive of 1918 nearly brought the greatest of rewards in a war that had become a static blood-soaked nightmare - a decisive breakthrough against a weakened allied enemy. The ending of the war on the Eastern front had allowed the Germans to transfer thousands of troops to the west to aid the great offensive - total success was prevented only by sheer bad luck, the fighting defence of the Allied armies and the complete exhaustion of the German soldiers.
Once the offensive had been halted, however, there was no doubt that the Allies would win the war. Six months of hard fighting still lay ahead, but the Germans were forced inexorably back towards their own borders.

My wife's Great Grandfather fought in this battle and was killed on 24th March 1918 at Marierres Wood, fighting with the 4th South African Infantry. Marierres Wood was the last stand for 500 South African troops who held up the German advance long enough for reinforcements to arrive and thus help prevent the Germans capturing Amiens, a vital road and rail link. In 2018 we did a battlefield tour were we went to Villers-Guslain and Gauche Wood, which were the the German and Allies front lines respectively on 21st March 1918 and where my wifes Great Grandfather had to fight and retreat from constantly over 3 days and nights. Very moving but very interesting.

My grandad got a MM for this battle, he was a TF (similar to the National Guard in the US, apparently the young ladies liked the uniforms and you got paid for summer camps, 1914 summer camp got abruptly cancelled) joined just before the outbreak of the war, arrived in France in 1915 as the BEF was almost decimated and the TF took over until the new Kitchener armies could be trained, demobbed in Dec 1918 and then went back to working in the mines. Rejoined the TF in 1919 for a few years, tried to rejoin for WW2 but was told he had done enough. He had a German bullet in his shoulder (in 1915, too close to organs to remove) and it stayed there for the rest of his life . Tough men

He volunteered for WW II and trained Canadian troops in England. He was a very funny, old chap and I remember him well.

'This is not a peace treaty. It is an armistice for twenty years.' It was exceptionally unfortunate that the American President did not agree with Marshal Foche or their own General Pershing. The League of Nations was a complete waste of space and having forced it through, the Americans abandoned it.

from what I understand, the fact that Congress voted to keep the US out of the league, and the treaty forced Germany to not be a part of it, it essentially became a paper tiger, with no force to achieve what it claimed. This was proven by the Japanese, who tested the limits in China and only faced sanctions by the US.

Defeated at Caporetto Italians did not contribute any longer???? This is offensive and preposterous. Italy defeated the last effort of the Austrians in June 1918 in the battle of the Piave. Tens of thousands of Italians were fighting also in France in the Balkans. The Italian navy was preventing access to the ports if the Adriatic etc etc How dare the speaker say Italians did not contribute any more? Of course the big games were in the western front but to diminish Always in every documentary Italians death is shameful.

The infiltration tactics that the Germans developed in WWI was the basis for the Blitzkrieg tactics of the German army in WWII that won many spectacular victories for them early in that war. The two most critical additions were mechanization, (including the British invented tanks), and portable hand held radios for improved communications and cooperation between the troops and the artillery.

A very interesting analysis. However there was no mention of the fact that Lloyd George held hundreds of thousands of British troops in the UK which certainly made the Germans job easier at the start, While they were sent as reinforcements if Fifth Army had not been so weak the Germans losses would probably have been heavier and ours less. On the other hand the huge salient the Germans were in left us with a very nice target for the Battle of Amiens. Also perhaps a bit over overemphasis of the tactice of infilteration. The mist in March helped a lot, but the attack on Arras made in clear weather against long prepared defences was a very costly failure.

Often purchased privately by an officer and used by his best shot.

I grew up in bases in Germany as a brat my parents handled vehicles from Detroit getting deployed into 7th army. I got to talk to my gr grandpa a lot.

World War 1 is a watershed conflict, it was the last global conflict that was fought on imperialist lines. The next major war (World War 2) was fought on totalitarian lines (where it was not fighting democracies). Before WW1 ended, Russia fell to a totalitarian revolution (Bolshevism), which were to have long-term effects, lasting to this day.The aim of the Central Powers (Austria and Germany) was to humiliate and/or neutralize the military power of France and Russia. Britain joined in because of treaty obligations (neutral Belgium was invaded), and because her sea power was coming into direct threat from Germany's increasing powerful and modern fleet.

It was a huge and catastrophic fruitless gamble by the Kaiser's High Command generalissamos, Hindenberg and Ludendorff.

A significant proportion of the Canadian Army WAS British… The migration from the UK to Canada prior to 1914 meant that many Canadian soldiers had been born in the UK… My Great Uncle Fred Perry was one… a lad from Woolwich in South London, he emigrated to Canada but signed up in 1914 and served in the 28th North West Battalion right through the war. I’ve seen the records… about a third of the men that Fred signed up with in 1914 were born in the UK… Fred was killed in July 1918 in an air raid.

Sadly the Germans did not realise that once they dug in in 1914 they had lost. the rest of the war was just playing out the inevitable.

Wait… the map at 3:30 is a modern European map… Germany was much larger and Poland and Czech Republic didn’t exist…. no need for me to watch any further

Indeed. Sloppiness at its worst. And, weren't these "experts" shown the end result of their contributions? Didn´t they have anything at all to say about the blatant geographical howlers? Then you read the credits: "Producer, Lara Lowe". Entrust a woman the description of a war, and failure will inevitably come about!

Why did you use a Post WW2 map of Europe in your graphics to detail a WW1 battle? You cannot teach history properly if you make simple mistakes like this, it was just Dumb. 👎👎 @14:18 The dancing soldier was great catch on vintage film. @19:18 German Lancers on horseback is another great catch on film. @34:42 Rare French Observation Planes.

Too bad both sides were narrow minded. Both sides could have defeated the other a couple of times if pressed.

This documentary is total bs. Just seeing the maps in the first minutes, in which the European countries have the present-day borders, not the borders they had in 1914 or in 1918
