Interesting stuff indeed and coincidentally I just recently read about the Ludendorff Offensive which really was Germany's last ditch effort to win the war before the US could arrive in significant numbers and before the social unrest in Germany (mostly caused by the shortage of food) reached a boiling point. About 50 German divisions were freed after Russia dropped out of the war and thus Germany had a brief numerical superiority at the beginning of the Ludendorff Offensive but once that offensive petered out it was all over for Germany.
