Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Notes on the Methods of Attack and Defense to Meet the Conditions of Modern Warfare Early in the European war there were operations of maneuver on both the east and west fronts, but as the contest developed and the first drives on wide fronts were finally brought to a halt, due to the near equality of the opposing forces, making it impossible for the offensive to make a further move to the front, each side began to "dig in" in order to strengthen the defensive and prevent loss. This operation was kept up on both sides, and as the opposing forces tried to turn each other´s flanks and brought forward other forces to prevent their own flanks being turned, the lines were extended and joined with other parts of the line similarly developed until the entire forces on either side formed one almost continuous line of entrenched positions extending across the whole front, with flanks resting on impassable obstacles or on neutral territory. Owing to the fact that there has been comparatively little maneuver warfare, which has been confined mainly to the eastern front, its principles of attack and defense have undergone very little change. There are a few things, however, that deserve mention. Artillery. - The use of Artillery, especially heavy Artillery, has been greatly increased in maneuver (as well as trench) warfare, thus requiring deployment at greater distances and greatly reducing the value of existing permanent fortifications, and consequently compelling the construction of deep trenches and underground shelters in fieldworks for protection against the destructive fire of the heavy guns.
