video thumbnail
In this talk, Dr Robert T Foley discusses German Plans for an Offensive in 1915 "The Breakthrough that never was".

It is often thought that the Germans sat on the defensive for most of 1915 (excepting the gas attack at The Second Battle of Ypres). In this talk, Dr Robert Foley looks into the little-known plans the Germans had for offensives in 1915.

Recorded as part of the WFA President's Conference series "A World at War 1914-18" - 1915 A Year of Trial and Error
