About this ebook
"Serves to illustrate the carnage of battle throughout the three critical months of 1918: March, April and May . . . An amazing archive."— The Great War Magazine
In March 1918 the German Army launched a series of offensives that brought them very close to winning the war. Military photographers followed their advance and took many photographs of the operations as they progressed. This is the war seen from the German perspective, British and French soldiers lie dead on the battlefield, and Allied prisoners are escorted to the rear, as the German Artillery pound away covering the advance of the "Feldgrau."
These photographs are seldom seen in books dealing with the allied point of view. Many scarce and rare photographs show the carnage of battle throughout March, April and May 1918. The author has also included group photographs of some of the units involved, as well as memorial cards of individuals who fell or died of wounds. This book will be a useful reference to anyone with an interest in the German Army during the First World War.
"Provides a good close up look at soldiers, guns, shells, small arms and other points of interest."— Over the Front
"It is like watching a well-made documentary unfold before your eyes . . . The whole book is a superb piece of work, highly recommended."— Destructive Music
"Particularly atmospheric . . . This is an unusual and welcome selection of illustrations."—Military Illustrated
