The Marne
5-12 Sep 1914 — Joffre’s counterstroke catches the German First and Second Armies 40 km from Paris with a gap between them. Six hundred Paris taxis carry one brigade to the front; the whole German line falls back to the Aisne — and digs in.
This is one scene of Chapter 2 — The Guns of August in The Great War, 1914–1918.
