Excerpt from Les Annales de la Régie Direct, Vol. 11: Revue Internationale, des Services Économiques Publics; Année 1918-1919
Il faut, dès la rupture des relations entre deux peuples, que chacun d'eux puisse verser un torrent d'hommes sur sa frontière, qu'en quelques jours ses soldats soient amenés des points les plus reculés du territoire sur la ligne d'opérations. Cet immense mou vement de mobilisation et de concentration se fait par les voies ferrées, et il est hors de doute que le premier arrivé. Que le vain queur de cette lutte de vitesse, conquiert immédiatement d'im menses avantages sur son ennemi, puisqu'il peut envahir le terri toire étranger, livrer bataille hors de chez lui, surprendre et troubler la réunion, la concentration de son adversaire, tirer parti de la supériorité de l'offensive sur la défensive.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the dramatic differences in the histories of France and Germany's railroad systems during the First World War. Before the war, France had poured vast sums into private railroad concessions, which focused on shareholder profits and neglected maintaining and renewing their railroad systems. Germany, on the other hand, had nationalized its railroads, giving the government more control over developing the country's rail infrastructure. When war broke out, Germany's efficient and well-maintained railroads gave it a major logistical advantage over France, which suffered from transportation delays and shortages throughout the war. The author's research reveals that Germany's nationalized railroad system played a significant role in its early military successes and ultimate victory in the war.
