Operation Draft East
Posted: Thu Jan 11, 2018 6:07 am
General Erich Marcks first designed a plan for the invasion of Russia and called it OP Draft East. In that plan he called for more focused attacks. Concentrate in one area while defending or holding in others. When the objective was taken, then forces would be shifted to a new main effort.
As we know, Barbarossa and Hitler's mettling was too much for the German army to take on all at once with the troops available and probably a key to their loss.
What I would like to see, is a scenario based on Marcks' plan. It would be interesting to see if that would have been successful.
Cheers,
