Even the famed Schliffen Plan didn’t survive first contact with its generals, never mind the enemy!<br>Excellent and informative lecture.

Otto Von Bismarck on his death bed gave this warning to Germany. “ Under no circumstances ever go to war with Russia”

Fascinating: minute 45/47 there was a more modern chief of staff who decided to use “ersatz” troops to beef up his numbers in a war in which the enemy’s will and capacity for resistance were vastly underestimated - Secretary of Defence Robert McNamara’s very cruel decision to allow the US army to recruit and send troops with sun-par learning abilities to combat roles in vietnam. I think the documentary on YouTube is called McNamara’s Folly
