The March on Paris: The Memoirs of Alexander von Kluck, 1914-1918 by Alexander von Kluck
Requirements: ePUB reader, 5.5 MB
Overview: Von Kluck saw active military service at an early age during the Seven Weeks’ War of 1866 and, in 1870-71, the Franco-Prussian War. Rising through the army, he became inspector general of the Seventh Army District in 1913. During the First World War von Kluck commanded the German First Army, notably in the Schlieffen Plan offensive against Paris at the start of the war in August 1914. An aggressive commander, von Kluck’s impatience (at the request of Second Army commander von Bulow – who was unwilling to allow gaps to appear in the German front – he switched his advance south and east of Paris rather than the planned north and west), allied with a lack of direction from the German High Command and effective French and British counter-attacks, led to the failure of the Schlieffen offensive.
