At Cambrai in November 1917, a tank force of over three hundred tanks punched a hole four miles deep into the German lines in the space of a single morning, an advance comparable in size to that made at Passchendale in four months. But the Germans counterattacked and the result of the battle was a virtual draw, with the front lines shifting slightly. However the battle of Cambrai marked a major turning point in the course of the war - and military history as a whole. The era of trench warfare was coming to an end and technology was beginning to reign supreme on the battlefields of Europe.

The small British Expeditionary Force, moving up into Belgium on the left flank of the French 5th Army, met with the full weight of the German 1st Army advancing towards Paris under the Schlieffen Plan. A short but intense fire fight where the British caused heavy casualties to the thick masses of the enemy infantry was followed by a British withdrawal out of the canal salient. This manoeuvre was made more urgent by news that the French Army on the right flank was in retreat.

How Joseph Goebbels' propaganda skills and support helped Hitler gain power. Besides being Reich Minister of Propaganda, he was leader (Gauleiter) of the Nazi party in Berlin. Goebbels was gifted with powerful oratory skills, which he used to advocate his deeply virulent antisemitism. This was evident in his publicly voiced views. He remained loyal to Hitler even as the war turned against Germany. -- This is shared without profit for educational and historical purposes ---
