the canadians were under the command of those "horrible" british commanders so your logic is flawed...

@ultradumbass Alright, you're going to have to give a source if you're going to claim that a 5-year blockade did nothing for 4 years and then killed almost 3/4 of a million civilians in the last few months, because logically that just doesn't make a lick of sense.

Germans loved hunting tanks, using a sack of grenades the infantry would rush tanks and put bags into tank tracks and ignite the bags.

@guysmiley00 Cambrai was actually much needed for the British , as it allowed them to test out new tactics

@guysmiley00 Same old rubbish myths that have been destroyed by modern scholarship. Haig was actually a very capable commander, who accepted new techniques and technologies. hedeveloped the British army into the most modern force in the world

Some people may say tanks are impractical, but hell it was all a sight for the infantrymen to see those massive engines opening a path across the trenches and no man lands, impervious to the machine guns and grenades that have killed so many of their comrades.

Did the bells ring in Germany on the 30/11?

Line of fire, one of my all time favorites... are the series available on dvd?

@guysmiley00 what contradiction? the germans could not win with their hands tied up eat. it was similar to napoleon knowing that prussians arriving at waterloo on time would cause him the battle, had his commander grouchy returned on time he may well have won but they were not fast enough. the germans knew they would lose or be stalemated without temporary neutralisation of the eastern front and would bring their armies back eact once they finished the western armies. go read a book mate.

@guysmiley00 uhhhhhh no the civilians only died after the war due to british taking away resources. the french planned to take EVERYTHING from the germans. now you claim i am talking out of my ass because i actually know how to educate myself? i am surprised you are a canadian like me, but who am i kidding, canadians i find to be just as pathetic as anyone else. considering we are stupid enough to support ultra left wing views around here.

@ultradumbass What? The German blockade was incredibly severe - even food was defined as "contraband". At least 763 000 Germans civilians starved to death. By 1915, German imports were already down by 55% and exports by 47%. By 1917, the average German was getting 1000 calories a day - half the minimum necessary, resulting in widespread outbreaks of diseases like scurvy, TB, and dysentery. I'm soryy, but you're completely talking out of your ass here.
