In this episode, I look at the final days of the German offensive on the Somme in the spring of 1918. The podcast starts on 26 March, the day that Field Marshal Ferdinand Foch took command of all Allied Forces on the Western Front. We then see how the Germans lost the initiative, as their advance came to halt in front of Amiens on 5 April.
