Today -100: July 30, 1918: And the front just looks shorter because it’s kind of cold today

Fog of War (Rumors, Propaganda, Fake News, and Just Plain Bullshit) of the Day -100: Relations between Turkey and Germany have been totally severed. The NYT almost immediately admits that this story is not believed by the US government or by anyone really. But it was good click-bait for the front page, I guess.

The Berlin government issues a pamphlet explaining that German forces in the West are not retreating, they are shortening the German front. So that’s okay then.
