WWI World War I RPPC History Battle of St. Mihiel Front Battlefield Postcard Lot: $384.24
All three cards included in this lot. This battle took place in Mihiel (NE France), between the American Expeditionary Force and 110,000 French troops led by General John J. Pershing of the United States against German positions. This battle marked the first use of the terms\"D-Day\"and \"H-Hour\" by the Americans.The attack at the St. Mihiel salientwas part of a plan by Pershing in which he hoped that the Americans would break through the German lines and capture the fortified city of Metz. It was the first and only offensive launched solely by the US Armyin World War I, and the attack caught the Germans in the process of retreating.This meant that their artillery was out of place and the American attack, coming up against disorganized German forces, proved more successful than expected. The St. Mihiel attack established the stature of the U.S. Army in the eyes of the French and Britishforces, and again demonstrated the critical role of artillery during WWIand the difficulty of supplying such massive armies while they were on the move.The U.S. attack faltered as artillery and food supplies were left behind on the muddy roads.The attack on Metz was not realized, as the Germans refortified their positions and the Americans then turned their efforts to theMeuse-Argonne Offensive.
Amazing history. Amazing photographs and photography.
