Germans Fail to Gain Decisive Victory on Western Front
War Department review of the week ending April 13 says Germany has not achieved a decisive strategic victory. The offensive has pushed trenches and captured local objectives near Lille and the front from Armenières to the Saone canal, but Allied defenses held. German high command persists in limited aims, seeking to wedge through at weaker points and threaten Calais, with renewed offensives continuing along the front. The report notes heavy fighting, thick fog, and stubborn British resistance, while Italy and Portugal coordinate near the lines.
