Summary, etc. It examines the inherent flows in the German military system and its generalship focusing on the two world wars but also taking into account major preceding events such as the seven years war the Napolemic wars and the Danish, Austrian and Franco-Prussian wars. It highlights the German military's tendency to underestimate the enemy and believe its own propaganda its failure to adopt a war policy far reaching enough to sustain anything other than short wars.
