I’ve read a few times that with the Armistace within hours, junior officers commited their troops to one last push for reasons all too selfish.
They had been told this was the war to end all wars and their chance to show combat leadership in future moves up in rank was waning.
Sad if so.
It was originally called Armistice Day.
Absolutely the case - there were really egregious instances in the 89th Division area that went up literally to the very last minute.
I’ve seen the same in the most extensive documentaries of WW1.
Died for nothing at the very end
