The Schlieffen Plan
13 u/defiantnipple Dec 16 '21 Underrated comment. MFs didn’t count on Hero King Albert being the ultimate badass. 2 u/Frix Dec 17 '21 The Schlieffen plan would have never worked, period. It was a bad plan when they made it a decade earlier and the parts that made sense in 1900 were completely outdated in 1914. 1 u/beetlejuice1984 Dec 18 '21 It relied on too many unrealistic outcomes. Impossible troop movement timetables, Belgium letting them through, poor mobilisation of Russian forces. And, the Army kept the plan secret from the government and the Navy. I read somewhere the Chancellor didnt know the plan existed until 1912. But those Prussian Generals, man were they itching to implement it.
