:::::::*''...would have required a whole lot more marching...'' - exactly the point. Schlieffen's plan called for initial deployment to Belgium and required no marching from Prussia to Belgium. After Paris would fall then troops would be transported East.[[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''CIA v Trump updated score'':CIA 3, Trump 2]]</sup> 10:23, 29 March 2017 (EDT)

:::::::Ritter was writing for German military academies concerned with teaching officers "inner leadership" and moral responsibility; Craig was writing for tbe Anglo-American alliance eager to incorporate Prussisn military theories into NATO as it was learning more about the traditions of their new German partners staff planning.

::::::::The strategy Germany followed in 1914 has only a passing resemblance to anything Schlieffen proposed. Schlieffen never proposed transporting the army west to east. IMO, Moltke's planners were inspired by the cult of the offensive (''offensive à outrance'') that the French army adopted in 1911. After Delbrück criticized the plan in 1919, the need to claim a patriotic lineage arose. [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] ([[User talk:PeterKa|talk]]) 19:37, 29 March 2017 (EDT)
