My understanding is that one of the terms of the armistice was that the German army retreat east of the Rhine. Allied occupation of the Rheinland began 1st of December 1918.
Could you name or provide a reference to one of the post armistice actions of the german army in northern france?

- LAC-Tech 4y agoOk right that doesn't surprise me. I had interpreted your original post is the German army somehow still having active military units in France while Versaille was going on which definitely would have. Thanks for the links btw, it's not something I can remember seeing discussed in english before.
- pyrale 4y agoThere are not that many good sources in french either tbh. Even the studies we have don't really focus that much on the post-armistice period, since Germany's sabotage started before the armistice, as they could see the writing on the wall.
