Huns Not Striking at Paris In Last Drive Says Ludendorff

German commander Erich Ludendorff describes a planned diversion to draw Allied forces from Flanders rather than strike Paris directly. He outlines April to May 1918 operations, the Crown Prince group’s feints, and the push toward Soissons and Fismes as part of a broader Western Front strategy.

American Forces Halt German Tide Near Paris

The right wing of the Tim Army advanced between the Aisne and the Marne, south-west of Soissons and near the forest of Villers-Cotterets, capturing Chauteau Thierry and concentrating near Reims and Boissons. They repelled fruitless counter-attacks and stopped the German push toward Paris, delaying further advances into June to protect the Aisne railway corridor.

Americans Hold Ground Amid German Attacks At Chateau Thierry

The report notes German forces pressing east of Soissons toward Montdidier and Noyon while claiming superior American and Allied resistance. It states Americans, though thinly held fronts, fought bravely but were led poorly and overwhelmed by larger German formations, with six divisions facing two American divisions at Chateau Thierry.
