Paris Taxicab Miracle Ended German Advance at Marne
Historians say if Germany had won the first battle of the Marne the Kaiser might rule Europe. The battle began September 5 near Paris, with 34 German divisions facing 20 Allied, including French and Belgians. Kluck’s flanks were exposed, Paris governor Gallieni ordered taxis to Nanteuil, and by September 9 German retreat began. A famed aid to Paris traffic helped halt the advance as observers note the taxi rerouted forces and clogged roads. A second incident recounts Mrs. Smith's car collision with a truck driven by Homer Jennings, underscoring urban hazards.
