In 1917 Ludendorff described to the Crown Council a frontier extended into France to secure coal and iron, with Belgium economically tied to Germany and the Baltic provinces absorbed. The plan aimed to push the frontier beyond the Vistula, giving Germany control of Europe’s coal, iron, and food lands and ensuring future domination.
