Battlefields of the Western Front
S01:E03 - Resolve
S01:É01 - S01:E01 - Baptism
Where is the Western Front? Why did two vast armies dig in, extending lines of trenches from the Channel ports almost to the Alps? The German attack faltered on the Marne.
S01:É02 - S01:E02 - Sacrifice
The ANZACS find themselves fully acquainted with the texture of war on the Western Front in a series of murderous battles at Pozières where the Australians lose 12,000 men.
S01:É03 - S01:E03 - Resolve
The ANZACS are involved in the battles of Bullecourt, Ypres, Messines and Menin Road. They are overwhelmed at Bullecourt with 4,000 Australians against 16,000 Germans.
S01:É04 - S01:E04 - Cataclysm
One of the most notorious killing fields of WWI—Passchendaele. On October 12th, the New Zealand Division lost 2,800 men, the bloodiest day in that country's military history.
S01:É05 - S01:E05 - Spirit
The Germans launch Operation Michael on March 21st, 1918, the greatest offensive of the war. We reach what is, for many, the defining moment in Australia's war: Villers-Bretonneux.
S01:É06 - S01:E06 - Victory
As the Germans retreat, they attempt a "scorched earth" policy. A pursuit was necessary; we follow the exploits of the Australians as Monash takes up the challenge.
