He had turned a third of his cavalry into foot soldiers and had created and trained special “Storm Battalions” to advance quickly and find the weakest points in the enemy’s line before sending in the mass of his troops. Ludendorff had carefully planned the attack and had prepared thoroughly. We then move to the Ludendorff Offensive in 1918. But the tank had still shown what it could do. Many of the tanks also broke down whilst others were “ditched” (stuck in ditches, shell holes or trenches). And without support they couldn’t seize the advantage they had gained. All at little initial cost, though the cavalry were torn to pieces by German machine guns and the infantry couldn’t keep pace. They pushed through all three German lines and punched a hole in the German front some six or seven kilometres wide and some eight kilometres deep. The technology was there, if only just – tanks and planes – but the means of getting the best out of it wasn’t.Ī break-through in tactics (away from bombardments and the mass frontal attack) came at Cambrai in the Battle of Passchendaele when, on the first day of the attack in November, 1917 more than 400 tanks were deployed.
