![]() There would be huge casualties on all sides during this period, with hundreds of thousands of Germans also taken prisoners, but for the first time in 4 years the Entente troops, now joined by the Americans, would acheieve real, and obvious, victories on the Western Front. During this period, often called the 100 Days the Western Front would blow right open with the Allies attacking from Verdun to the sea and the Germans frantically trying to fend them off. Over the next 9 or so episodes we will see the German offensives come to an end, the Allied counterstroke on the Marne, and then the general attack that would take the Allies all the way to November. This is it, the start of the last big series of episodes before we arrive at the armistice on November 11th 1918. **The First World War by John KeeganPyrrhic Victory: French Strategy and Operations in the Great War **by Robert A.

The term "Hundred Days Offensive" does not refer to a specific battle or unified strategy, but rather the rapid series of Allied victories starting with the Battle of Amiens. The offensive essentially pushed the Germans out of France, forcing them to retreat beyond the Hindenburg Line, and was followed by an armistice. The ‘Hundred Days Offensive’ was the final period of World War One, during which the Allies launched a series of offensives against the Central Powers on the Western Front from 8th August to 11th November 1918, beginning with the Battle of Amiens. In remembrance of the final offensive, we are providing FREE access to our ORBATs troop movements interactive and audio maps on Forces War Records, with a special feature showing the last 100 days movements and countdown to peace in one place. One hundred years ago, the allied troops were about to launch their great offensive that would finally see the First World War come to an end. #CountdownToPeace99 - The Final days of WW1
