The Germans have battered themselves to the point of exhaustion in their Spring Offensives of March and April, 1918. Now it's time for the Allies to strike back! Beginning with French actions on the Marne, the great Allied offensive that would eventually lead to the total defeat of the German Army begins. And the attack is soon taken up by the British, Australians and Canadians, culminating in the unprecedented successes of August 8.

In the first episode of our new special series about the triumphant campaign that ended the First World War, Peter Hart is joined by historian Mat McLachlan to tell the story of the Black Day of the German Army.
