Historical research on the German army of the interwar period has
concentrated on the development of the so-called 'Blitzkrieg'.
However, Matthias Strohn shows that for most of the time the German
army, restricted by the terms of the Versailles Treaty, was too
weak to launch an offensive war or even effectively repel an
invader. Accordingly, the army focused instead primarily on
planning a defensive war against superior enemies, especially
France and Poland. Making extensive use of German archival sources,
Strohn explores the development of military thought and doctrine
for the defence of Germany and shows how these ideas were tested in
war games and staff rides. His findings comprehensively revise our
understanding of the German army in this period, shedding new light
on the ideas of leading figures in the German military and how
events, such as the occupation of the Ruhr in 1923, influenced
military planning.
