At exactly 4:30 AM the allies and Canada
rushed the Germans with 600
tanks and 2,000 aircraft.
Some Germans immediately
surrendered, while the Canadian forces captured German prisoners.
The Allies and the Canadians largely outnumbered the Germans, and the
German commander Erich Ludendorff said ”depressed down to Hell”. The Royal
Air Force then laid smoke screens, which allowed the Canadians to
pass without being seen. The Canadians
then captured many important targets.Harry Miner, a 27-year old farmer
from Ontario, rushed three enemy
posts, and attacked two of them
himself, using an enemy machine
gun. He then raided a enemy
bombing post, before being killed
by a German grenade. He was then
awarded the Victoria Cross, the
British Empire's highest award for
military honour.Lieutenant Jean Brilliant was a 28-year-old
from Québec, who rushed ahead, and
captured a German machine-gun post.
He was wounded and led two platoons
to capture more machine guns and 150 prisoners.
He was then wounded again, and led a charge
with his soldiers against a German machiene gun.
He was then wounded again and died.Henry Rawlinson, the Fourth Army commander
combined 11 divisions of troops and tanks. It was
filled with 500 tanks, and 1900 aircraft. This already
numbered the German's defense, and Rawlinson achieved
deception through wireless and fake messages.At the end of the war, more than 19,000 allied
soldiers died or were injured and 26,000 Germans
died. The Canadian forces captured 5,033 Germans prisoners
and 161 guns.Overview: The Battle of Amiens was a war
that raged between Canada and the Allies against
the German. The allies and Canada wanted to keep
the war a secret, so that the Germans would not
know of the war. On August 9, 4:30 AM, the Allies
and Canada rushed the Germans in hope of a end to
end World War 1. The Allies were very successful, with
about double the amount of troops, tanks and aircraft
that the Germans had. At the end of the war, many people
on both sides died. After Germany was defeated, this endedThe historical significance of the Battle of Amiens was
very important. Although it was only 3 days total, it was one of
the most important wars because the Battle of Amiens
ended World War 1, stopping thousands of casualties
and wars between countries. This was on a Global Negative
The Canadians accomplished
going through the foliage while the Germans were distracted
by the Allies shooting at the Germans. The Canadians sneaked
through the foliage and captured thousands of Germans, and
along with the alAllies. Harry Miner did a lot in the war, capturing a large amount
of Germans and machine gun posts by himself. Also, Henry Rawlinson
ordered all the troops by himself, and I think that the Candians had
accomplished a lot in the war, and the Canadians also ended World War
1 which had a lot of casualties. A national monument should be placed
here because this was the place where the last 100 days offensive took
place, and ended the large war of World War 1. So, in the end, I think that
a monument should
