    Default WW1 quote; any ideas who said this?

    "The outbreak of war in 1914 is the most tragic example of a government's helpless dependence on the planning of strategists that history has ever seen."


    It would be a great help if any one knew who said this, if so please answer!

    Hm from this site http://www.tulipacademy.org/gew/tsp.htm/ it seems the quote comes from the book "The Schlieffen Plan: Critique of a Myth" by Gerhard Ritter
