Operation Michael

Map showing Operation Michael — The Great War, 1914–1918
BATTLE SITE · THE GREAT WAR, 1914–1918

21 Mar 1918 — After a five-hour hurricane bombardment, 76 divisions of stormtroops break the British Fifth Army and advance 65 km in a week — farther than anyone since 1914. Then the guns, the supplies and the plan all fail to keep up.

This is one scene of Chapter 10 — The Spring Offensives and the Hundred Days in The Great War, 1914–1918.
