The Battle That Broke Germany in WW1– Mont St Quentin Explained

Описание: By the Summer of 1918 the British Army had become a force to be reckoned with and much had been learnt from bitter experiences of fighting over the preceding four years. New tactics had evolved to bring together the fighting capabilities of the infantry, artillery, tanks and air power as demonstrated with the successful capture of Le Hamel on the 4th July. Lieutenant General Monash’s outstanding planning for this operation became the template for the Battle of Amiens which started on the 8th of August and began the ‘Hundred Days’ offensive which would ultimately win the war on the Western Front. The Australians, now fighting as a fully fledged Corps, would make another incredible contribution between the 31st of August and the 4th of September 1918 in taking the vital stronghold of Mont St Quentin.
