Were the Russians really rocking the Germans back on their heels? Or had the Germans withdrawn their striking power, possibly for a blow elsewhere, possibly for much-needed recuperation? There were hints that the answer to both of these questions...
Both Sides. By last week the Russians had unquestionably made substantial geographical gains (see map), but they had claimed no prisoners. They definitely claimed superiority in the air, but admitted that large German air forces had been withdrawn from the front. The Russians claimed that deep snows were confining the Germans, like Napoleon, to the roads, and that Red Cavalry, like the Cossacks of 1812. were constantly harassing the highway-bound, rear-bound enemy; and yet the Russians admitted that they were meeting little but rear-guard resistance...

So Ludendorff in 1917 had withdrawn from a vast energy-consuming salient, prepared lines in his rear, come back with a climactic German effort in the spring of 1918.

From this fact it is, I thin, reasonable to deduce that in order to remain in power our hypocritically successful revolutionists would...
