Starting in February 1917, the Germans began their move to a different defensive position called the Hindenburg Line, leaving destruction, landmines and booby traps in their wake. Their withdrawal was completed in March. 'Neither French nor British intelligence had warned of the withdrawal,' David Stevenson, a historian, wrote in his book, 1917: War, Peace & Revolution. French army high command 'did not believe the Germans would abandon ground that they had fought for so tenaciously.'
