They also had to coordinate movements between the retreating Fourth and Fifth Armies, and the\u00a0British Expeditionary Force (B.E.F.).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The Germans had to sacrifice men during their advance (the 1st &amp; 3rd German armies lost one corps each and the\u00a01st army had given up 3 corps) when they made a distracting feint toward Antwerp, secure central Belgium after they had passed, and to besiege the fortified towns of Givet\u00a0and Maubeuge. They could not bring in reinforcements quickly from Alsace-Lorraine to their right flank (to the west) because of severe damage to the\u00a0railroad systems. There was scarce effective\u00a0control from the German high command. Communication among the three German armies led by Kluck (the 1st), Bulow (the 2nd) and Hausen (the 3rd) was reduced due to their lack of compatibility. To move against Paris itself at this point would be rash as the city was protected by the 6th French Army and the Paris Defence Forces, and would have thinned the German lines too much. \u00a0Thus, Kluck followed the retreat of the\u00a0French 5th Army to the south and east of Paris. This would bring the\u00a01st and 2nd German Armies closer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The French and B.E.F. continued an orderly retreat to the outskirts of Paris. The Germans didn&#8217;t anticipate a counterattack from the direction of Paris and so pursued the\u00a0B.E.F. as far as the Marne\u00a0River on September 3, 1914.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2683 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/rememberourvets.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/German-and-Allied-positions-23-August-5-September-1914-First-Battle-of-the-Marne-Wikipedia-the-free-encyclopedia.png\" alt=\"German and Allied positions, 23 August - 5 September 1914 - First Battle of the Marne \" width=\"734\" height=\"606\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rememberourvets.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/German-and-Allied-positions-23-August-5-September-1914-First-Battle-of-the-Marne-Wikipedia-the-free-encyclopedia.png 734w, https:\/\/rememberourvets.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/German-and-Allied-positions-23-August-5-September-1914-First-Battle-of-the-Marne-Wikipedia-the-free-encyclopedia-300x248.png 300w, https:\/\/rememberourvets.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/German-and-Allied-positions-23-August-5-September-1914-First-Battle-of-the-Marne-Wikipedia-the-free-encyclopedia-67x55.png 67w, https:\/\/rememberourvets.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/German-and-Allied-positions-23-August-5-September-1914-First-Battle-of-the-Marne-Wikipedia-the-free-encyclopedia-624x515.png 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 734px) 100vw, 734px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Allied (red) and German (blue) positions August 23 &#8211; September 5, 1914<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">General Joseph Joffre, Commander of the Allied troops in France, had moved troops from the\u00a0east to the centre and west in the midst of battle and retreat.
