War - Ww1 - Schwarzer Tag Des Deutschen Heeres Poem by Paul Warren

The Eighth of August 1918 the Allies started their offensive
And it was the Advance to Victory to end the war so pensive
Lord Haig finally found a way to finish the Great War
With the Allied Armies they swept through the German lines to implore

The Germans had enough and Ludendorff their General revealed
His army would not recover from this and needed to end the blood congealed
He gave the famous line, 'Schwarzer Tag des deutschen Heeres'
As the 'Black Day of the German Army' a bitter pill that left him in duress.
