→Schlieffen
The problem of a two-front war occupied German military planners since the founding of the Second Reich in 1871. Schlieffen is recognized as the one who proposed a workable solution. In 1940, the German's used a modified Schlieffen plan based on bluff, decoy, and diversions.

Schlieffen's exact words were to "strike Paris like hammer on an anvil" thru Belgium, and the movement of troops thru Belgium were to "brush the English Channel on the sleeze". Once these actions were completed, to rush troops East via rail, an advantage Russian military organizers did not have, to meet the overwhelming numbers of Russians, under equiped, travelling on foot.
The reason the Schlieffen planned failed is, because it wasn't implemented. Hindenburg & Ludendorf modified it by transferring troops for battles og Tannenburg & Masurian Lakes in the East, slowing the advance in Belgium, and allowing the Brits time to infiltrate troops across the channel. This is what caused the 4 years of trench warfare.
When a modified version based on bluff (see First Battle Ardenne), was used in 1940, it worked in less than 6 weeks Paris fell. The culmination of 70 years of German General Staff planning.
