German Strategy in the Second Battle of the Somme

Frank H. Simonds analyzes the first phase of the second Somme battle, detailing German strategy behind a 50 mile front assault. He compares past offensives at Verdun, the Aisne, and the Somme, explains the shift to a wide frontal breakthrough, and notes allied responses and the race to restore a continuous front by March 27 to 29. The piece frames German aims to separate British and French forces, reach Amiens, and force a renewed movement war, while acknowledging the contest over the next moves.
