- Germany launches Operation Gneisenau, the last of four attacks in the Spring Offensive aiming to break the deadlock on the Western Front. The operation begins with the Battle of Matz, with German forces attacking over a 37 km front along the Matz River and advancing 14 km despite fierce French and American resistance. The objective is to draw Allied reserves south, widen the German salient and link up with the German salient at Amiens. Fighting continues for three days and results in 35,000 Allied and 30,000 German casualties.
