Conflicting German Opinions On West Front Fighting
Amsterdam reports German critics give divergent views on who bore the brunt of the Allied attack in the west. Some say white French troops fought hardest, others say they were spared for political reasons while Americans bore the main weight. Some editors claim Italians or Belgians led in places, with debate over who will win next and why Boissons was evacuated. The Frankfort Gazette notes Americans endured baptism of fire but learned to respect machine guns, while some charges claim mishandling wounded and deceptive calls in German.
