Mangin on Verdun and Somme War Lessons
General Mangin argues in the Revue des Deux Mondes that Allied victory could have come in 1917 with 1916 methods. He credits Joffre and Haig for Verdun and Somme outcomes, notes German losses and British shifts, and calls for continued pressure and reorganization to finish the war. The piece also covers Mangin’s views on Verdun defense decisions and the evolution of offensive tactics.
