1918 - The Last Days of WWI
The Germans have battered themselves to the point of exhaustion in their Spring Offensives of March and April, 1918. Now it's time for the Allies to strike back! Beginning with French actions on the Marne, the great Allied offensive that would eventually lead to the total defeat of the German Army begins. And the attack is soon taken up by the British, Australians and Canadians, culminating in the unprecedented successes of August 8.
In the first episode of our new special series about the triumphant campaign that ended the First World War, Peter Hart is joined by historian Mat McLachlan to tell the story of the Black Day of the German Army.

Customer Reviews
Fantastic
Brilliantly detailed. I love it so much
Pete and Gary’s military history.
I can’t get over Gary saying boastfully “Haig understood the importance of the rate of fire.” Haig was the Chief of Staff for goodness sake! If he COULDNT GRASP THAT MUCH then what chance did the lads in the trenches waiting to go over the bags have? The fact that Haig visited a “Medium” says it ALL, as Peter said! They are all lunatics to various degrees.
Pete & Gary’s Military History Podcast
Don’t mistake the light hearted tone at times - these guys have the deepest respect for those who fought and what they went through.
Mainly WWI with a fair chunk of WW2 with occasional excursions into other areas.
Helped me understand a war that can at times just look like khaki and mud.
