German war planning, 1891 - 1914

Viac o knihe

"This book makes available in English translation many of the documents concerning German war planning before 1914 that survived the Second World War. They had been closely guarded by the East German army archives, and only became available with the fall of the Berlin wall." "Included are: Wilhelm Dieckmann's 'Der Schlieffenplan', assembled from archive sources; Hellmuth Greiner's account of the German west front intelligence estimate from 1885 to 1914; and two of the younger Moltke's General Staff exercises. The book also presents other little-known documents found in German archives as well as the most important 1920s literature concerning the debate on the German war plan."--Jacket
