Battle of Hindenburg Line

The Battle of Hindenburg Line was a major World War I engagement in late 1918, where Allied forces broke through the Germans’ fortified defensive position in northern France. The Hindenburg Line was a complex system of trenches, barbed wire, and artillery designed to withstand attacks. The Allies launched coordinated assaults, using new tactics and better equipment, culminating in the Germans retreating and weakening their defenses. This breakthrough significantly contributed to the end of the war, leading to the German armistice in November 1918.
