Map of the German Spring Offinsive
Hinderburg and Ludendorff
This took place in 1918, during World War One. It was also known as Kaiserschlacht, Kaiser's Battle, or Ludendorff Offensive. No matter what name it went by it was still a series of German attacks along the Western Front. These attacks were to try to gain on Great Britan and eventually france. There were four attacks Michael, Georgette, Gneisenau, and Blücher-Yorck. Michael was the biggest of these attacks. In each of these attacks germany would advance but when they were advancing they wouldnt take supplies with them so they would have to retreat to go back to get them. All of the attacks kinda failed in a way because germany wasnt very smart when tey were doing it. They would only take the bare minimum and then they would have to retreat and then they would loose ground.
This is a really hard topic to under stand and get information on.
