Footage Taxi To The Front – The First Battle of the Marne I THE GREAT WAR - Week 7

The German Army is so close to Paris that French soldiers are brought to the front by taxis. Together with the British Expeditionary Forces, the French are fighting the German advance near the Marne river. Meanwhile, the Austro-Hungarian army is retreating to the Carpathian Mountains after a catastrophic defeat against Russia with hundreds of thousands of casualties.

The catastrophe in Galicia already started last week. Find out more about it in our last episode: http://bit.ly/1lY28a0
