Tannenberg - News - Join the Battle of Broodseinde Offensive Campaign

Soldiers, the western front needs you!

[p][/p][p]At dawn on October 4th, 1917, the British launched a massive artillery barrage along Broodseinde Ridge near Ypres. This was part of the ongoing Third Battle of Ypres. The attack was carried out by the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, alongside British units, against the German 4th Army dug in on the ridge.[/p][p]As the creeping barrage rolled forward, infantry advanced behind it in close coordination, a tactic perfected after years of brutal trial and error. The Germans, who were preparing their own counter-attack at that very moment, were caught out in the open. The result was devastating: German stormtroopers were cut down before they could even begin their assault, and the Allies pushed through to seize Broodseinde Ridge.[/p][p][/p][p]This was not just a small tactical success, it was one of the clearest victories of the entire Passchendaele campaign. The Allies inflicted heavy losses, captured thousands of prisoners, and took control of vital high ground. But the success came at a cost: over 6,000 Australian casualties alone in a single day, with similar losses for other units involved.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/28900041/6f4619501f51af5c22ced0e0719d0f488b548a67.png"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]By late 1917, the Entente was under immense strain. On the Western Front, the fighting at Passchendaele had already become a byword for mud, exhaustion, and endless attrition. Yet at Broodseinde, the coordinated use of artillery and infantry showed what could be achieved with meticulous planning.[/p][p]The victory forced the Germans to further stretch their manpower and reinforced the image of the ANZACs as formidable troops. However, heavy rains soon returned, bogging down future attacks and turning the battlefield into a quagmire. Though Broodseinde was a shining moment, the wider Passchendaele offensive would grind on until November with far fewer results.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/28900041/921083533fbb259fcac2fbe098cf1ab22d10d829.png"][/img][/p][p][/p]
