German Push Toward Paris Faces Long Fight At Oise
The June 10 New York Tribune piece analyzes German strategy in the Noyon to Montdidier sector. It notes a shift from the left toward the Oise road network and Paris as the objective after delays in securing a northern defense. The report cites Ludendorff’s March offensive aims and a May 27 left-flank push, with German plans now focusing on the right flank and roads used by Kluck in 1914.
