00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,236
(Cannon fire)

00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,719
NARRATOR: By summer 1918,
the war had been going for four terrible years,

3
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,756
and the end seemed nowhere in sight.

4
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,636
Unlss we can look ahead and plan for 1919

5
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,872
we shall be in the same melancholy position
next year as we are this

6
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,993
Do the means
of beating the German armies in 1919 exit?

7
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,996
Have we the willpower?

8
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,516
Since spring 1918,
the Allies on the Western Front

9
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,830
had been battered by German offensives.

10
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:41,117
But in August, the Allies secretly assembled
a strike force in northern France.

11
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,913
100,000 men
of the Australian and Canadian Corps

12
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,956
were backed by 400 tanks,

13
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,115
1,900 planes,

14
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,316
2,000 guns,

15
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,356
three cavalry divisions.

16
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,039
General Sir Henry Rawlinson ,
British commander at the Somme in 1916,

17
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,076
had learned from the past.

18
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,116
He embraced new ideas.

19
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,671
The close combination of men and machinery,
the importance of achievable goals.

20
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:21,753
My only difficulty will be to get enough diviions
and to keep the thing secret

21
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,708
Rawlinson aimed his assault at a weak 12-mile
sector of the German line, east of Amiens.

22
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,114
He had the French in support to the south.

23
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,429
General Erich Ludendorff,
joint commander in chief of the German Army,

24
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,795
neither knew of an attack, nor feared one.

25
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,956
We should wih for nothing better
than to see the enemy launch an offensive

26
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,396
100 000 infantry
are standing grimly silently

27
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,512
All feel to make sure
their bayonets are firmly locked

28
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,195
The section officer counts the last seconds

29
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,636
The speed was terrific

30
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,554
Within a few moments of the Huns
running from our tanks and infantry

31
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:31,518
our guns were coming up
into new forward positions

32
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,997
It was glorious to be in the rush of an advance

33
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,314
The Allied attack sent the Germans reeling.

34
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,558
By nightfall, Rawlinson's Fourth Army
had advanced eight miles.

35
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,959
They killed and seriously wounded
9,000 Germans, and captured 18,000 more.

36
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,434
Ludendorff declared 8 August,
''the Black Day of the German Army''.

37
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,035
General Paul von Hindenburg steadied him,

38
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,590
but both knew the Battle of Amiens
was the beginning of the end.

39
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,636
Mighty as Germany looked on the map,

40
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,349
her armies on the Western Front
were near the end of their tether,

41
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,398
exhausted, hungry, fed up.

42
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:39,153
Their generals had given them
neither clear aims nor adequate supplies.

43
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,277
The Germans had lost
nearly a million men since March.

44
00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:51,636
Ludendorff blamed the home front
for spreading defeatism.

45
00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:56,748
I was told of behaviour which I openly confess

46
00:04:56,840 --> 00:04:59,877
I should not have thought possible
in the German Army

47
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:03,316
Whole bodies of our men
had surrendered to single soliers

48
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,228
Germany's problems went beyond poor morale.

49
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,759
She had lost a string of vital battles.

50
00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:22,037
The battle of the factories and technology.

51
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,076
Germany had built just 20 tanks.

52
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,076
The Allies, over 4,000.

53
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,716
She'd lost the battle of manpower.

54
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,759
A quarter of a million Americans
were pouring into France every month.

55
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,756
She'd lost the battle of command.

56
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:45,992
The Allies worked together under the leadership
of Marshal Ferdinand Foch.

57
00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:52,114
But Ludendorff's generals despaired
of his lack of strategic plan,

58
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,270
and some feared for his mental health.

59
00:05:56,280 --> 00:05:58,475
Great crisis this morning very nerve-wracking

60
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,192
Ludendorff is a bundle of nerves
It's never his fault

61
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,276
He looks everywhere for scapegoats

62
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:17,429
After Amiens, Foch orchestrated a series
of attacks up and down the German lines.

63
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,836
First French, then British, now American .

64
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,948
The Germans fell back under the rain of blows.

65
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:35,751
While the Allies were pulling together,
the Central Powers were tearing apart.

66
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,078
In Austria-Hungary,
a third of a million soldiers had deserted.

67
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,955
The people at home were starving.

68
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,395
The multi-ethnic empire was splintering.

69
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:52,156
Its Poles, Czechs, and Bosnians saw defeat
as their chance to pursue independence.

70
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,519
In mid-September, the Austrian Emperor Karl

71
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,672
told the Kaiser
he wanted to negotiate with the Allies.

72
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,716
The Kaiser begged him not to.

73
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,514
I cannot refrain from expressing to you
my astonihment and sorrow

74
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,750
that you could even think of doing this

75
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,912
You must know
how destructive this course of action is

76
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,750
But Karl had already sent
his proposal for talks to the Allies,

77
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,308
and they just threw it back in his face.

78
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,913
Another great empire allied to Germany
was dying.

79
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,758
The 600-year-old Ottoman Empire
was a spent force.

80
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,839
Britain was driving the Turks
out of Mesopotamia, Palestine and Syria.

81
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,031
They were now fighting for their lives,
not for Germany.

82
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,834
Then the third link in Germany's alliance chain
started to give way.

83
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,713
Germany needed Bulgaria
to hold the Balkan Front.

84
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,669
But by September 1918,
a huge Allied force had gathered in Macedonia.

85
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,437
If the Bulgarians folded, the Allies' way
would be clear to Austria-Hungary.

86
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,953
The Bulgarians were dug into these trenches,
their morale cracking.

87
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:25,795
Crown Prince Boris was almost attacked
by his own soldiers when he visited the front.

88
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,560
We are naked, barefoot and hungry

89
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,714
An empty knapsack does not guard a frontier

90
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,953
The First World War had begun in the Balkans,
with Serbia as the tinderbox.

91
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,037
Now, as part of the Allied force,
she was in at the kill.

92
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,150
And for the Serbs it was personal.

93
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,994
In 1915, the Bulgarians
had helped kick them out of their homeland.

94
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,190
Here was the Serbs' chance for revenge.

95
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,909
The heavy artillry made the Bulgarians
crawl deep into their shelters

96
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,117
All the excitement made my hair stand on end

97
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,758
My blood was up

98
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,116
(Explosions)

99
00:09:24,680 --> 00:09:28,355
The Allies smashed through the Bulgarian lines,
and rolled north.

100
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,989
On 28 September, Bulgaria sued for peace.

00:07:15,912You must knowhow destructive this course of action is7600:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,750But Karl had already senthis proposal for talks to the Allies,7700:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,308and they just threw it back in his face.7800:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,913Another great empire allied to Germanywas dying.7900:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,758The 600-year-old Ottoman Empirewas a spent force.8000:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,839Britain was driving the Turksout of Mesopotamia, Palestine and Syria.8100:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,031They were now fighting for their lives,not for Germany.8200:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,834Then the third link in Germany's alliance chainstarted to give way.8300:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,713Germany needed Bulgariato hold the Balkan Front.8400:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,669But by September 1918,a huge Allied force had gathered in Macedonia.8500:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,437If the Bulgarians folded, the Allies' waywould be clear to Austria-Hungary.8600:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,953The Bulgarians were dug into these trenches,their morale cracking.8700:08:21,040 --> 00:08:25,795Crown Prince Boris was almost attackedby his own soldiers when he visited the front.8800:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,560We are naked, barefoot and hungry8900:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,714An empty knapsack does not guard a frontier9000:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,953The First World War had begun in the Balkans,with Serbia as the tinderbox.9100:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,037Now, as part of the Allied force,she was in at the kill.9200:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,150And for the Serbs it was personal.9300:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,994In 1915, the Bulgarianshad helped kick them out of their homeland.9400:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,190Here was the Serbs' chance for revenge.9500:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,909The heavy artillry made the Bulgarianscrawl deep into their shelters9600:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,117All the excitement made my hair stand on end9700:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,758My blood was up9800:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,116(Explosions)9900:09:24,680 --> 00:09:28,355The Allies smashed through the Bulgarian lines,and rolled north.10000:09:29,440 -->
