The Hindenburg Line - Ludendorff's Defence In Depth I THE GREAT WAR Special
1916, the Year of Battles, had strained Germany's resources everywhere but especially on the Western Front they needed to defend their captured territory against an ever growing number of Entente Forces. Erich Ludendorff decided to shorten the front line where possible and built a new "Defence In Depth" line: The Siegfried Line. This defensive network was supposed to grind the Entente forces down while freeing up more German resources.

Remembering the Breaking of the Hindenburg Line 1918-2018
Dr Spencer Jones appears on Breakfast TV to explain the importance of the daring and successful attack across the Riqueval Bridge over the St. Quentin Canal on the morning of 29 September 1918. By taking the only bridge over the canal that could support heavy traffic and breaking the Hindenburg Line the German Command were convinced that they could no longer win the war.

Die Letzte Kompanie but the Allies are breaking through the Hindenburg Line
"In nine days British, French and US forces crossed the Canal du Nord, broke through the Hindenburg Line and took 36,000 prisoners and 380 guns. German troops were short of food, had worn out clothes and boots and the retreat back to the Hindenburg Line had terminally undermined their morale. The Allies had attacked with overwhelming material superiority, using combined-arms tactics, with a unified operational method and achieved a high tempo. On 4 October, the German government requested an armistice and on 8 October, the German armies were ordered to retire from the rest of the Siegfriedstellung (Hindenburg Line)"

The Hindenburg Line
In this episode we ask: what was The Hindenburg Line? A system of German defences built in Northern and Eastern France, it was the largest single engineering project of the Great War on the Western Front. Some of the key battles of 1917/18 were fought along it, and we look at the background to these important First World War fortifications.

The Fall of the Hindenburg Line #shorts #worldwar1 #historyfacts #history
It Happened!
On September 29, 1918, a significant event occurred during World War I: the Hindenburg Line was broken by an Allied attack. This breakthrough marked a critical turning point in the war and played a pivotal role in the eventual defeat of the Central Powers.
The Hindenburg Line, also known as the Siegfried Line, was a formidable system of German defensive fortifications on the Western Front. It stretched across northeastern France and Belgium and was designed to be a nearly impregnable barrier to prevent Allied forces from advancing further into German-occupied territory. The line was named after German Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, who was one of the leading military figures of the time.
The Allied attack on the Hindenburg Line in late September 1918 was part of a broader...

"In nine days British, French and US forces crossed the Canal du Nord, broke through the Hindenburg Line and took 36,000 prisoners and 380 guns. German troops were short of food, had worn out clothes and boots and the retreat back to the Hindenburg Line had terminally undermined their morale. The Allies had attacked with overwhelming material superiority, using combined-arms tactics, with a unified operational method and achieved a high tempo. On 4 October, the German government requested an armistice and on 8 October, the German armies were ordered to retire from the rest of the Siegfriedstellung (Hindenburg Line)"

In this episode we ask: what was The Hindenburg Line? A system of German defences built in Northern and Eastern France, it was the largest single engineering project of the Great War on the Western Front. Some of the key battles of 1917/18 were fought along it, and we look at the background to these important First World War fortifications.

It Happened!
On September 29, 1918, a significant event occurred during World War I: the Hindenburg Line was broken by an Allied attack. This breakthrough marked a critical turning point in the war and played a pivotal role in the eventual defeat of the Central Powers.
The Hindenburg Line, also known as the Siegfried Line, was a formidable system of German defensive fortifications on the Western Front. It stretched across northeastern France and Belgium and was designed to be a nearly impregnable barrier to prevent Allied forces from advancing further into German-occupied territory. The line was named after German Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, who was one of the leading military figures of the time.
The Allied attack on the Hindenburg Line in late September 1918 was part of a broader offensive known as the Hundred Days Offensive. This offensive was launched by the Allied forces, primarily the British, French, and American armies, with the aim of breaking through German lines and pushing them back towards Germany.
As a result of the successful assault on the Hindenburg Line, the German Army was forced into retreat, and their defensive positions in France were gradually dismantled. This marked the beginning of the end for Germany in World War I. Over the following weeks and months, the Allies continued to advance, leading to the Armistice of November 11, 1918, which effectively ended the war.
