Operation AXIOM: The World War
18 February-3 March 1918: Operation Faustschlag—Frustrated with Soviet procrastination & foot-dragging in the peace negotiations at Brest-Litovsk, the Central Powers launched a massive offensive all along the front, advancing everywhere; Latvia, Lithuania, & Estonia were conquered in the north & Kiev (2 March) in the south; Germans drew within a hundred miles of Petrograd, the Soviet capital.




Lest we forget.
