The Battle of Broodseinde was fought on 4 October 1917 near Ypres in Belgium, at the east end of the Gheluvelt plateau, by the British Second and Fifth armies against the German 4th Army. The battle was the most successful Allied attack of the Third Battle of Ypres. Using bite-and-hold tactics, with objectives limited to what could be held against German counter-attacks, the British devastated the German defence, which prompted a crisis among the German commanders and caused a severe loss of morale in the 4th Army. Preparations were made by the Germans for local withdrawals and planning began for a greater withdrawal, which would entail the abandonment by the Germans of the Belgian coast, one of the strategic aims of the Flanders offensive.

  • La battaglia di Broodseinde fu un scontro avvenuto, il 4 ottobre 1917, sul Fronte occidentale della prima guerra mondiale, nel contesto della battaglia di Passchendaele. Si trattò dell'ultima offensiva britannica riuscita a Passchendaele: usando la tecnica del bite and hold ("mordi e tieni"), in cui l'obiettivo era limitato a ciò che poteva essere catturato e mantenuto, le forze britanniche, australiane e neozelandesi condussero un attacco contro le linee tedesche, respingendo sul nascere la controffensiva che queste ultime avevano programmato in quello stesso giorno. Le truppe dell'Intesa conquistarono circa un chilometro di terreno e oltrepassarono il crinale di Broodseinde. Le perdite furono circa pari fra entrambi gli schieramenti. (it)
