Missing content in historical facts on loading screen
This random sentence can be read on the loading screen of Battlefield 1:
This was to be the mother of all battles, and it began with one million artillery shells raining down on the British in five hours.
I think at least one preceding sentence is missing here. The reference to Operation Michael(1918) and the Battle of St. Quentin(21–23 March) is missing.

Operation Michael
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Michael
Operation Michael (German: Unternehmen Michael) was a major German military offensive during the First World War that began the German Spring Offensive on 21 March 1918. It was launched from the Hindenburg Line, in the vicinity of Saint-Quentin, France.
Battle of St. Quentin, 21–23 March
Day 1, 21 March
The artillery bombardment began at 04:35 with an intensive German barrage opened on British positions south west of St. Quentin for a depth of 4–6 km (2.5–3.7 mi). At 04:40 a heavy German barrage began along a 60 km (40 mi) front. Trench mortars, mustard gas, chlorine gas, tear gas and smoke canisters were concentrated on the forward trenches, while heavy artillery bombarded rear areas to destroy Allied artillery and supply lines. Over 3,500,000 shells were fired in five hours, hitting targets over an area of 400 km2 (150 sq mi) in the biggest barrage of the war, against the Fifth Army, most of the front of Third Army and some of the front of the First Army to the north. The front line was badly damaged and communications were cut with the Rear Zone, which was severely disrupted.

Here is an another in-game information (flare rocket), short historical fact (star shells) and codex entry (The Battle of Malmaison - Nivelle Nights) crossover:
Flare Rocket (https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/battlefield/news/nivelle-nights-all-you-need-to-know)
Nivelle Nights is the first night map for Battlefield 1 and builds upon the theme of the Battlefield 1 They Shall Not Pass expansion pack, focused on the French army and the Western Front. You’ll fight during night time on the muddy battlefields around Malmaison and Soupir, where the French and German armies clash. You can also find some flare rockets on the map to light up parts of the battlefield."star shells"
Containing bright burning chemicals and a non-flammable parachuhte, "star shells" were special artillery rounds used at night to illuminate the battlefield, or to pass on messages via different colors.

German SOS rockets rose into the night sky calling in a counter-barrage, but the French artillery was highly effective in taking out the German guns.
