Verdun battle strategy reexamined in Review of Reviews
Me Brame Lf Simonds argues Verdun was chosen for political aims rather than military. He says Germany sought to crush French morale and force peace terms, while French defense under Petain and strong logistics, notably railways and motor transport, sustained the siege. Verdun’s fortifications, supply lines, and crowding of French forces reveal the fortress’s symbolic value and the broader strategic stakes in 1916.
