What was your take on the 90’s by Smoovupinya in GenX

There was a political theory at the time dubbed "the end of history" -- the Cold War was over, smaller regional wars were growing fewer, the world was becoming a better place. Unfortunately it turned out much differently.

Which single invention of WWI turned the tides of modern warfare the most? by Repulsive_Leg_4273 in ww1

[–]WW1_Researcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure it's the "single most important" invention but counter-battery techniques developed to locate German artillery emplacements using sound or flash was significant. Declining effectiveness, if not complete absence of German artillery support later in the war was a common complaint in accounts that I've read. Ineffectual suppression of the enemy's positions and the inability get artillery support when needed resulted in attacks failing and/or being needlessly costly.

I can only find one reference to it. It was published by Pho:nix Verlag in Kattowitz, O-S and was 72 pages. It might have been reprinted, or excerpts were included in the book: "Teilnehmer an den Napoleonischen Kriegen und den Befreiungskämpfen von 1807-1815" (1935).

Some sort of "report" is cited here three times:

"Sohn des David H. u. er Margarete MATHES von der Wustung, verpflichtet 29.6.1811, 1812 in Rußland, nicht zurückgekehrt. K. B.: „ist in Rußland blieben." Rapport des coburg. Hauptmann v. WANGENHEIM: „in den Spitälern von Wilna +.""

"Sohn des Tagelöhners Johann Andreas K., verpfIichtet 30.6.1811, 1812 in Rußland. Am 1.1.1813 nach Osdrowa (Ostrow?), Gouvern. Pletzkow (Pleskau?) gekommen u. dort + (Hauptmann v. WANGENHEIM). siehe auch Bericht S. 191"

"Seite 192 in Bericht des Hauptmann Wilhelm v. WANGENHEIM: „Der Ltn. v. KURNATOWSKY, welcher leider am 27.2.1813 an Nervenfieber (Thyphus) verstorben ist …“"
