The Principles of War - Lessons from Military History on Strategy, Tactics, Doctrine and Leadership.

This is the fourth part of our CoG analysis for the Battle of France series.

We discuss the Center of Gravity for Germany. An interesting case as the Strategic Center of Gravity was unable to defeat France, so the Wehrmacht developed a highly risky operational Center of Gravity to defeat France in just 46 days - something that they could not achieve in all of WW1.

• How did the German's temporally dislocate themselves at the Strategic level?
• How could they avoid the nightmare of a two front war?
• Would they succumb to the siren song of the Schlieffin Plan and a quick win with all the risk that entails?
