Bernhard H.Holst Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) Hello Chris. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. A subject not receiving much exposure. The mutinies in a considerable part of the French Army were reported by an escaped German POW but disbelieved ( described in a post-war book). A push by German forces may have been successful regardless of the pledge by mutineers to hold positions but not to participate in useless attacks.such as Gen. Nivelle conducted in April, 1917. And then came Gen. Petain... Bernhard H. Holst Edited December 24, 2014 by Bernhard H.Holst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
