Who would have satisfied as the second front for France? Italy It would technically be an extension of the German line. |

Wich offensives in the Alps 1915 were led by Mackenson? I thought he was fighting in Poland at the Balcan. |

Wich offensives in the Alps 1915 were led by Mackenson? I thought he was fighting in Poland at the Balcan. Mackenson led offensive in Carpethians The Carpenthians are on the Balcan, 1000km distance, but we mean the Serbian Campaign of Mackenson. Mackenson lead cavalary, I don't know that he attacked fortificated strongholds, Falkenhayn troops outnumbered the Romanians more than twice. Naming these Generals, you see how bad Cardona as commander was. These were extrem hard battles, but they had a strategical goal. Not the useless manslaughters without any hope of a Victory. Changing his strategy, German General Erich von Falkenhayn selected a single mountain pass β along the Jiu Valley β for a breakthrough. He chose that particular place on logistical grounds, as the valleys elsewhere were too narrow for the Germans to make best use of their superiority in firepower.[2] |

Mackenson's Gorlice-Tarnow offensives were some of the most brilliant offensives of ww1, sending Russians running back thousands of kilometres by using innovative Artillery tactics. Also, you are using Wikipedia as source. Oh yes, the Gorlice-Tarnow offensives was one of the most brilliant offensives. - But why you name Mackenson to explain Cardonas senseless mountain actions? These offenses are in every detail completly the opposite. (Flat land, coverage, artillery, big armies, success) For sure I start a research with wikipedia. For history the english wikipedia is maybe sometimes a bit flat, but this are always sientific articles with a propper source list. Perfect to start learning more, and the best: if you find an error or have additional informations, you can join the discussion and edit the articles. Bullied articles are quickly repaired. You never should relay on one single source, but wikipedia must be one. Show me one free website that offers information at this quality level. (No University sites) |

I was replying to Napoleon I saying that how will large scale operations be conducted in mountainous terrain of Franco-Italian border. |
