The German withdrawal was helped by a thaw, which turned roads behind the British front into bogs and by disruption to the Allied railways that supplied the Somme front. On the night of 12 March, the Germans withdrew from the R. I Stellung between Bapaume and Achiet le Petit, while small parties of troops sent up flares to mislead the British, who were preparing an attack. It took the British until 13 March to close up the R. II Stellung (R. II Position).
The British opposite the 1st Army, received indications that a withdrawal was imminent on 20 and 21 February, when intercepted wireless messages were decoded, ordering German wireless stations at Achiet le Petit, Grévillers and the vicinity of Bapaume, to close and prepare to move back. After this period, information from prisoners and the evidence of German demolitions, indicated that a longer retirement was planned but the existence of three German reserve lines 5–6 miles (8.0–9.7 km) behind the front line, made a local German retirement seem more likely than a longer one.

⇒ドイツ軍の撤退は、雪解けしたことによって助けられた。というのも、英国軍前線の背後の道路が沼地になってソンム前線に供給する連合国軍の鉄道が混乱したからである。3月12日夜、ドイツ軍は、R. I陣地からバポームとアシェ・ル・プティの間に退去し、一方、軍隊の小団体が照明弾を打ち上げたので、英国軍は誤解して、攻撃の準備に取りかかるなどした。（こういったことなどで）英国軍にとっては、R. II陣地を閉鎖させるのに、3月13日までかかった。

⇒第1方面軍に対抗する英国軍は、傍受した無線メッセージが解読した時、彼らの撤退が2月20日と21日に差し迫っているという兆候（示唆）を受け取った。そのメッセージは、アシェ・ル・プティ、グレヴィエ、バポームのドイツ軍無線局に、閉鎖と帰還準備をするように命じていた。この期間（20日と21日）の後、囚人の証言やドイツ軍による解体の証拠は、より長期的な退去を暗示していたが、最前線の背後5–6マイル（8.0–9.7キロ）にある3本のドイツ軍予備戦線の存在により、ドイツ軍の退去は長期というよりは地域的なものとなりそうにも見えた。
