A bit of Redscape fun for you in celebration of Armistice Day. Thanks to those who've served their fellow man and may we soon end the wars.

Very cool! Do you have a link to that pic? I wonder if there is a higher resolution so I can read the articles. If I remember, you have to pay to look at old NY Times articles...

You can read about a 1/3 of it. It would be fun to have the whole thing.

Come on guys. What ousted Kaiser hasn't fled to Holland at some point? Nothing to see here . . . move along. :wink:

Interesting. The Proquest Historical Newspapers Database only has the title of that 11 Nov 1918 New York Times article but not the article itself.

Surely the only question is what was the order.

AUTUMN 18 RETREATS:

Germany
A/F Kie - Hol

Or

A Ruh - Hol.

I'm assuming Heligoland and North Sea were already solidly under the RN and as the Entente powers would have already moved through Belgium...
