in the middle of course is douglas macarthur, who ends up becoming a brigadier general in the 42nd rainbow division, quite a character. longtime service, west point graduate. he was also the highest decorated officer in the first world war, eventually winning seven silver stars and the gold cross. the battle commences. through liggett's leadership, the americans are able to overwhelm the germans, break through their lines, break through the wire, get around these machine-gun nests, which are devastating the american troops, and because the germans recognize that the battle is not going well, by the third week, about three quarters of the way into the battle, there are more than one million americans fighting along with about 300,000 french. there are another a million or so americans ready to come over if shipping is available. it is pretty much the end of the road for the germans. negotiating takes place, and an armistice is called on november 11 at 11:00 a.m. on 1918. because the allies, the americans and the french, and even the british, feared the germans might renege on this armistice
