  1. Decision to drive back the significant gains that the Germans achieved since their spring offensive in March 1918, was made by Field Marshall Foch, General John Monash, Haig, Pershing and others in the summer of 1918, not the autumn (Fall).

  2. Talking about the 1858 great stink of London, and cholera, you forgot to mention John Snow

  3. If you are review extraordinary warships from World War I and II; I would thoroughly recommend that you review the amazing story of the light cruiser, the SMS Emden of the Imperial German Navy. The story of the gallant and highly successful exploits of this ship and crew would fill not one, but two adventure novels (PS I am not trying to glorify war at sea here, or belittle loss of human life and suffering in naval combat situations and adrift at sea).

  4. "Operation Drumbeat", was the term designated by Admiral Karl Donitz (apologise for no umlaut over the "o"; CNC of the Kreigsmarine), for the highly successfully U-boat attacks on the Atlantic coast in 1942. So many tankers in the Gulf of Mexico were burning, that reputedly, you could read newsprint on shore by the light of the many burning tankers out at sea. It seems the US Navy failed to heed the lessons of the British Royal Navy from the first "happy time" of the U-boats (1939-40). This can partly be blamed on Admiral Ernest J. King, who had a cool attitude towards the "limeys", and in the US Navy failing to seriously formulate, equip and rehearse antisubmarine warfare tactics prior to 1942.
