10 April-31 Mary 1916: The German offensive is caught between needing to go forward to reach more naturally defensible terrain, despite the difficulty of such advances in the face of fierce French resistance, or having to return to its 21 February jumping off points; the German commanders vote to continue the attack; the French rally around the motto, "On ne passe pas!" ("They shall not pass!")
Lest we forget.
