Canadians were the best fighting force on the Western Front by 1918. Argue this

Nobody can argue this.

They employed creeping barrage with shock attacks dangerously close to each other, so they were able to consistently break through the German lines but they would often get hit with friendly fire. Casualty rates were high in Canadian divisions but success rate was also high, especially near the end of the war. There were about 4 Canadian divisions which routed something like 20 German divisions in the last 100 days of the war.

Oh wait, its way more than what I thought

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada's_Hundred_Days

4 oversize Canadian divisions engaged, routed or destroyed 47 German divisions

So good they lost the war

French were the best followed by Britain. See .

Lost the war while still occupying a third of France and all of Belgium

Lost the war due to a combination of not having as many warm bodies as the Entente+friends plus economic collapse at home thanks to glorious British Navy mines, not through any strictly military battlefield deficiencies.

OTOH their strategy for most of the war was to turtle which suited the military hardware of the time; once the Allies teched up and started building tanks they became slightly less impressive.

Not directly related but German WWI cemeteries are profoundly depressing places. When you do your rite of passage trip to the WWI battlefields please make the effort to visit a German memorial as well because those faggots died even more pointlessly than ours.

This is revisionism.

They were folding like wet newspaper during the hundred days offensive.

>if you kill or capture lots of enemies during the rout it means they were shit all along

The Hundred Days was so successful because the Germans were running on empty in terms of both men and materiel having expended it all on the Spring Offensive.

can't really blame the allies for them fucking up the spring offensive can you?

Your point being?
The failure of the Spring Offensive shouldn't be taken as evidence thst the German troops were pathetic soyboys fighting against heroic oiled Allied Adonises with thighs the size of tree trunks like some in this thread seem to want to suggest.

The fact that they got as far as they did is itself a pretty good endorsement of them considering they'd spent 3.5 years fighting a war of attrition against basically the entire civilized world at that point.

Still the best single force on the western front.

One mounty alone was reported to singlehandedly decimate legions of subhuman kraut roaches as they advanced on a Canadian fortified position at Verdun

It's mountie user and yes Canadian mounties are indisputably the master race

>neglects your nothing
nothin personnel, boche

Yeah, the mounties were gay before gay was cool. That horse is gay too. Look at that headband and the foofoo poofter mane on his forehead. Totally gay.

Your gay

Lol sure. 20 tanks, morale at breaking point and directionless tactics that'll wipe out your own best men. The only reason the spring offensive was an initial success was because the line that they attacked was undermanned. The second the allies got their shit together the Germans started to crumble

>mfw reading about the the german shit-but-still-going state after the spring offensive
>mfw reading about the autistically satisfying preparation to the battle of Amiens, kicking off the hundred days offensive
>mfw reading about the Germans being absolutely BTFO by new, sexy tactics
>mfw reading about the absolute state of despair the Germans were in

why doesn't 1918 get as much attention as the other years of the war smfh

this

>new, sexy tactics
New tactics which were suspiciously identical to the ones the Germans used during the Spring Offensive, you mean?

The german tactics were based on their successes on the eastern front.

The reason they failed was the western from had a higher concentration of allied artillery and a useable network of roads and light rail to keep it supplied, thus causing heavy casualties to the attacking germans.
Oddly, Ludendorf didnt appear to learn anything from the failed verdun offensive

>new tank and artillery tactics were first used by the Germans

>tanks were a fresh new tactic for the 100 days offensive

the massed deployment of tanks alongside short if any artillery barrages wasn't new

forgot the >, baka

Well how can we trust anything you say if you can't even remember the meme arrow?

except they were successful in a lot of their battles, something the brits couldn't do

you got me tbqh

>they occupied 1/3 of France on November 11
They didn't even occupy 1/3 of France at their maximum extent, on November 11 there was only a tiny sliver of France near Longwy and much of Belgium had already been liberated

you know what, you're right, they should have just kept pushing all the way to berlin
I mean what's the worst that could happen with their food supplies dangerously low, their countryside getting plundered by soldiers and maybe the french thinking it's about time they paid back the germans for what they did to their civilians
that would have been a fun year for the reich

/thread

Germans > French > Americans > Australians > Canadians > British > Belgians

The earth is really flat and Canada is so far away it would blow your fucking mind to try to supply an army over that distance. The logistics behind that kind of force projection alone puts them in Wakandan tier societal status.

No retard
Several dozens of Allied divisions (of which 4 were Canadian) routed 47 German divisions

t. /int/posting American

Don't knock them. The Americans in WWI got involved in extensive combat against the flu virus.

Dont forget they were really good at walking into their own artillery fire

>their own artillery
You mean the artillery they took from the French/British?

No, that would be the US Marines however the Canadians were a very very close second.
t. britbong

Very hard to split Canadians, New Zealanders and Australians - but there never was an army quite like the AIF

>Argue this
The best allied general of WWI was an Australian.

How do you think he would have fared if he was he good and healthy in WW2?
