The Brest-Litovsk Treaty, signed in March 1918 between the Central Powers and Soviet Russia, ended Russia's involvement in World War I, allowing Germany to focus its forces on the Western Front. The treaty resulted in significant territorial losses for Russia, enabling Germany to transfer troops from the Eastern to the Western Front, which initially strengthened their position against Allied forces. However, this shift also contributed to a temporary surge in fighting intensity on the Western Front, as Germany launched a series of offensives in 1918 before ultimately facing exhaustion and defeat later that year.

Especially after such a treaty was signed (in March of 1918) the Staff soon transferred units to the Western Front in preparation for yet another summer offensive against the Western Allies.
