29 September-10 October: The Battle of the Saint-Quentin Canal—A British, Australian & American assault, preceded by the largest artillery bombardment of the war & the first use of British-produced mustard gas, & accompanied by hordes of tanks, first breached the formidable "Hindenburg Line" (the Siegfriedstellung); the German High Command (Oberste Heeresleitung) realized the war was lost.
Lest we forget.
