Foch's Third Battle of the Somme Opens in Picardy
The article analyzes Marshal Foch's 1918 offensive in Picardy as a pivotal shift in the western front balance. It compares earlier allied actions, notes Ludendorff's overextended salients, and details Allied breakthroughs from Amiens to Montdidier and the disruption of German plans. It emphasizes British and French coordination, the strategic significance of recaptured rail lines, and the potential for a broader German retreat toward the Hindenburg Line.
