tres intéressant à lire , surtout pour répondre aux questions

sur la défaite de 1918 ( c'en était une ou pas ? )

désolé pour l'anglais mais j'ai pas trouvé autre chose !

"The case stated here should be thought of as an average case, or one referring to the place where the most intense struggles have occurred. With this word of warning, it may be pointed out that the most effective retort to the chain of machine-gun nests has proved to be the tank. But we are not discussing the Allied tactics, only German, and it is notorious that the Germans are lagging behind in the matter of tanks. All that need be said, therefore, is that in the latest stages of the fighting, one of the most difficult problems of the German Command has been to offset the breaking down of the forward line of defense by the combined action of tanks and infantry.
The two sides struggle with one another by a dual process of destruction and of conservation. This duality has from the start been keenly appreciated by the German General Staff, and one of its greatest efforts has been to keep its divisions, particularly those of the ist class, engaged in battle only to a point at which the losses do not exceed a certain regulated percentage of the division's strength; after this a process of recuperation is set up. The length of this intervening period of rest has gradually decreased since the beginning of the war; and in August, 1918, it threatened for a while to decend to vanishing point. Earlier in the year it stood pretty well established at about six weeks. This was so well understood by the Allies that it came to be tacitly assumed that every German ist class or attack division withdrawn from battle was exhausted and out of action for six weeks to come. A change of policy in this respect crept in with the Spring and in the offensive of the 15th of July it may have been calculated that by withdrawing divisions long before exhaustion point was reached, they would remain immediately available for attack; while the Allies, thinking along their customary lines, might estimate German reserve strength incorrectly and use up their own too rapidly. A few days later such a pressure was set up by the Allies that the Germans for several weeks were compelled to use their divisions with little respite and immense consequent wastage.
It had, however, already become manifest before this that the German High Command had developed an anxiety as to casualties that went beyond its former balance as between loss and profit, destruction and conservation. Strictly speaking this should be thought of as a psychological result with a negative counter effect on tactics, as is shown by one of Ludendorff's orders."

Super! J'ai trouvé ça aussi. Je ne sais pas s'il a déjà été donné ici. Si c'est le cas, excusez-m'en.
