Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Notes on Recent Operations: July, 1917 The artillery power of the English, as well as that of the French, continued to increase, as during the first month of the offensive. Each infantry attack was preceded by an efficient artillery preparation of very large and heavy caliber guns. Infantry attacks took place immediately after the artillery preparation ceased; simultaneously a large zone efficaciously covered by barrage fire on the terrain of attack prevented the bringing up of any reserves. The first attacking lines often escaped our (German) barrage fire; only our (German) infantry and machine gunners could deal with them; usually the last waves were efficaciously caught under our fire. When the enemy was able to penetrate our lines it was necessary to eject them by energetic and rapid counter attacks. The ability of the subordinate commanders who found themselves in front consisted in being able to hold their troops well in hand in order to carry out these decisive counter attacks. A delayed counter attack wasted lives and time and usually had no effect. The enemy, by renewed attacks, engaged our supports. The enemy was able to gain success because our troops were hard pressed and were not familiar with the terrain. The greatest attention should be given to the observations by periscopes in the first-line trenches. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
