Here's what happened on November 30, 1917:

• Battle of Cambrai - German Counteroffensive On November 30, 1917, during World War I, the German Second Army, commanded by General Georg von der Marwitz, launched a strategic counterattack against the British forces at Cambrai. Deploying 20 divisions, the Germans targeted the flanks of the salient created by the previous British advance. The German offensive initially broke through British defenses in the southern sector, creating a significant threat. However, the British successfully defended their position through two critical counteractions: first, an exceptional defensive maneuver by the Guards Division, and subsequently, a decisive tank brigade counterattack that ultimately prevented a potential military disaster. This battle highlighted the evolving nature of mechanized warfare and the importance of rapid, coordinated defensive strategies.
