Affected sectors include the Somme, Avre, and Roye as German divisions suffered heavy losses while delaying the enemy advance and preparing strategic withdrawals. The author notes declining fighting power and a shift toward realizing the war could not be won, prompting discussions of leadership, replacements, and alliance concerns.
