Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
Ten-part series based on the book by Hew Strachan, Professor of the History of War at Oxford. In March 1918, Germany launched a massive offensive on the Western Front - her bid to win the war before the Americans arrived. The master was General Erich Ludendorff - a genius, but unstable. Within days the British Fifth Army was in retreat, Paris was under shell-fire and some Allies feared defeat. But Germany's allies, Ottoman Turkey and Austria-Hungary, were starving and demoralised and the war-weary German Home Front was infected with dangerous socialist ideas. Then Ludendorff's great offensive ran out of steam, having stormed ahead without strategic aims or supplies. German soldiers slowed, exhausted and hungry. And then the Americans started pouring in.

About This Guide
This episode guide brings together the episode runtime, synopsis, series context, and nearby episode navigation for The First World War. That gives readers and search engines a clearer relationship between the episode and the parent series instead of treating the page as an isolated record.
Editorial Take
Germany's Last Gamble is presented as an episode-level guide that still keeps the parent series context visible, which is important because isolated episode pages can otherwise feel detached and thin. This episode sits at position 10 out of 10, so the page can answer both the runtime question and the progress question at the same time. The 1h runtime is especially useful here because episode search intent is often much more time-sensitive than general series search intent.
