Fighting for Amiens rushes to halt German advance
The German push toward Amiens seems checked at most points while British forces retreat in places. Amiens, a vital rail junction and supply base on the Paris channel ports line, remains under threat as German forces cross the Paris Amiens rail line and isolate the city.
