End of the War

American Soldiers turned the tide

• “We shouldn’t have done it… If they had given us another ten days we could have rounded up the entire German army, captured it, humiliated it… The German troops today are marching back into Germany announcing that they had never been defeated…What I dread is that Germany doesn’t know that she was licked. Had we given them another week, we would have shown them.” –General Pershing (American High Command)
