This book is the translation of the work entitled Growing Difficulties 1918 – Futile Struggle in Front of Compiègne, Villers-Cotterêts and Reims, volume 33 of the series « Die Schlachten des Weltkrieges », published by the Reichsarchiv in 1930.

No French translation of this book has ever been published, even though it had been translated after the war by the French Army. This recent translation was produced by Christian Dumont, Luc Dumont and Jean-Claude L'Huillier.

This text covers the decisive period from 31 May to 13 June 1918, seen from the German side.

After the German breakthrough on the Chemin des Dames, achieved on 27 May, the French Army was thrown into disarray and a breach opened in its front. The Germans poured through it with their 1st and 7th Armies, reaching the Marne in just four days. Everything had started well, but the machine seized up and the French regrouped.

HEINZ GUDERIAN, INVENTOR OF THE BLITZKRIEG This book is not for every reader. This is neither a biography, nor the war memoirs of a celebrated soldier, still less a work recounting the adventures of combatants caught up in the thunder of battle. No, Achtung Panzer! is anything but that! It is a military essay — but no ordinary one: the very work that...

The defeat of 1940 remains the greatest political and moral drama to have shaken France in the 20th century. Beaten in six weeks, the French have since retained the impression of an ill-equipped national army and a poorly commanded country, quicker to flee than to resist the enemy. More broadly, the "syndrome of forty" is a deep trauma in the collective...
