Details

To the Germans 8 August 1918 was ‘the Black Day’ of their Army. David Pearson uses German sources to explain why, describing how the translation from an obsolete form of German has been effected into English for a 21st century military history readership. Discover more about this major Australian battle from a German perspective, as well as find out what was the largest single war trophy seized by Australian troops in the Great War.

In association with the Canberra Great War Study Group, the Estaminet.
