Because of recent discussions on Twitter, concerning 'mobilisation time-tables' and so on... I decided to dig up another interesting Master of Military Studies thesis. The Author of - The Schlieffen War Plan: What Impact did Logistics contribute to the Plan's Failure? - in this case was Major Craig O. Petersen, USMC.
