The Schlieffen Plan Was an Orphan
The Schlieffen Plan Was an Orphan is a scholarly work, published in 2004 in ''War in History''. The main subjects of the publication include history, remote sensing in archaeology, antecedent, Archaeological plan, and foley. Robert Foley contends that the first antecedent of the Schlieffen plan was Schlieffen’s 1899/1900 war plan, and that Schlieffen could only execute this plan when the modern ‘armoured’ fortifications at Metz were completed in 1905.
