Blog Assignment # 11. The Battle of Matz
The Matz battle took place from the 9th to the 15th of June 1918. The Battle took place along the Matz River. The French were warned by some german prisoners. When France was attacked by Germany they werent overwelmed by this attack. Germany moved forward a total of 9 miles.
The forces had many different divisions attacking over a 23 mile area. Germany couldnt believe that they were moving this fast when 150 tanks and four of the divisions of the French army started attacking on June 11, 1918
.
Their were about 65,000 deaths total happened during this battle. 35,000 of them were the Allied powers, which would be French, US and them and the other 30,000 were Germany's. This battle to me was way for Germany to keep their sucess going. Germany was Dominating France in everything during this war.
