Pete & Gary's Military History

1918 - Four Battles in Four Days

Season 5
•

After the successes of August 1918, the Allies are smelling blood and, in one of the most overwhelming series of attacks launched during the entire First World War, they deal the Germans a savage blow. The French and British, supported by Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders and Americans, launch four huge attacks in four consecutive days in September, smashing the Germans in multiple parts of their line. Can the Germans withstand such pressure or is the writing on the wall?


In the second episode of our new special series about the triumphant campaign that ended the First World War, Mat is joined by historian Peter Hart to tell the story of four battles in four days.
