::::::::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)

:::::::::Again, my point: What's the point of bringing it up, then. Schmidt ten wanted to concentrate virtually all forces in the West, and leave the East wide open.
:::::::::See, this is what happens. The article appears to blame Schlieffen for the didaster in the West, whereas you & I seem to agree he had nothing to do with it. And maybe, if his idea were implemented, the Marne could have been avoided. That should be the only context his name is mentioned.
