The United States lost 354,450 tons. But in April, 1917, the situation was indeed desperate.
Arnulf withdrew to his fortress at Salzburg, and quietly awaited more favorable times. His name was branded with infamy by the people, who henceforth affixed to it the epithet of "the Bad," and the Nibelungenlied has perpetuated his detested memory. Conrad died in 918 without issue.
