The German Way of War: From the Thirty Years' War to the Third ReichFor Frederick the Great, the prescription for warfare was simple: kurz und vives (short and lively) - wars that relied upon swift, powerful, and decisive military operations. Robert Citino takes us on a dramatic march through Prussian and German military history to show how that primal theme played out time and time again. Citino focuses on operational warfare to demonstrate continuity in German military campaigns from the time of Elector Frederick Wilhelm and his great sleigh-drive against the Swedes to the age of Adolf Hitler and the blitzkrieg to the gates of Moscow. Along the way, he underscores the role played by the Prussian army in elevating a small, vulnerable state to the ranks of the European powers, describes how nineteenth-century victories over Austria and France made the German army the most respected in Europe, and reviews the lessons learned from the trenches of World War I. |

With each blow, infantry fire dealt out considerable punishment, and eventually
the cavalry attacks on this brutally hot day ... Flies was a fool to attack, they say,
and George and the Hanoverians had no strategic options even after their victory.

The success of such an attack, however, even in the most favorable cases, is a
small one. The enemy is definitely driven back, but he repeatedly takes up in
another place the resistance he had temporarily abandoned. The campaign
drags on.
