The book "Beilagen zum vierzehnten Bande Die Kriegführung an der Westfront im Jahre 1918" (Supplements to the Fourteenth Volume of The War on the Western Front in 1918) by German military historian, Generaloberst (Colonel-General) von der Groeben, provides a comprehensive overview of the German army's operations on the Western Front during World War I. The book focuses on the final year of the war, from March 1918 to November 1918, and offers insights into the tactics, strategies, and technologies used by the German army during this period. The book begins with an introduction that sets the stage for the events that unfolded during this pivotal year in the war. It describes how the German army was facing a series of setbacks, including the loss of territory and manpower, and how they were forced to adapt their tactics and strategies to respond to these challenges. The author highlights the importance of understanding the evolution of technology during this time, particularly in the areas of artillery, infantry, and aviation, as well as the role of intelligence and communication in shaping the outcome of battles. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a specific aspect of the war effort. Chapter one explores the development of new weapons and tactics, such as the use of poison gas and tanks, while chapter two examines the impact of air power on the battlefield. Chapter three delves into the role of intelligence and communication in military operations, highlighting the importance of accurate and timely information in making strategic decisions. One of the most significant themes of the book is the need for a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological process of developing modern knowledge.
