Part 11/14:
Throughout this week, Allied forces continued their advances, liberating Belgian ports like Zeebrugge and Bruges, effectively seizing control of the Belgian coast. The French and Czechoslovak armies pushed back German forces along the River Serre, while the end of the Battle of the Selle marked the close of a significant Allied offensive.
On the Italian Front, the fighting remained fierce but largely inconclusive. Italian troops braced against Austro-Hungarian defenses in thick fog and rain, fighting under difficult conditions that tested their resilience.
