Schlieffen Plan

While reading Tuchman’s Guns of August I started researching the Schlieffen Plan to find that Tuchman’s take on German strategy, which was what I was taught in the 1980s and seems to have been the generally received truth in the US in the second half of the 20th Century, was turned on its head by documents which became available after the fall of the DDR. I find this enormously interesting.
