::::And Ritter's criticism of 1956 has to be looked at thru the politics of his day: it was part of a de-mystification and de-militarization of all post-WWI German society, and rehabilative programming in officers schools, then coupled with the  General Staff of NATO. But NATO itself has adopted the Prussian General Staff operational planning  organisation, and structure. Schlieffen, along with many others, are still used as brilliant case studies in military academies worldwide, and not just for flaws or failures.

:::::Craig was published back in 1955, you know. He's says the Schlieffen plan was developed "between 1897 and 1905." He also claims Schlieffen was inspired by the account of Cannae that Delbrück gives in ''History of the Art of War'', which was published in 1900.

::::::Much to be learned about the Schlieffen plans is just what it was, but ''how'' it came into existence. Schlieffen known to, in a time of peace, give staff assignments to underlyings to produce detailed written contingencies for various aspects under a time constraint - like over the Christmas holiday while they were at home with their families - just to emphasize the constant vigilance military planners need. This is the Schlieffen plan. And this is the model of preoccupation, commitment, and staff coordination that has made the German General Staff the model of all the world's large, surving military establishments.
