	Helmuth von Moltke the Younger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Helmuth Johann Ludwig von Moltke (May 25, 1848–June 18, 1916), also known as Moltke the Younger, was a nephew of Field Marshal Count Moltke and served as the Chief of the German General Staff from 1906 to 1914.
		Moltke's planning was based on a two-front war against France and Russia, and predicated upon the army in the West (still vastly stronger than the army in the East), gaining a quick decision against the French so that troops could be shifted to meet the Russian threat.
		In addition, Moltke opted to respect the territorial integrity of the Netherlands, thus maintaining her usefulness as a port in the event of a British blockade.

	Reader's Companion to Military History - - Moltke, Helmuth Karl von (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Helmuth Karl von Moltke's importance to modern European history springs from two sources: As designer of the modern German General Staff (a system eventually adopted by all powers of consequence) he was and remains the preeminent military organizational innovator since Napoleon.
		Moltke was truly the Bismarck of the battlefield, forming with his fellow Junker the key political-military team of the nineteenth century.
		Negatively impressed by what he read of the massive, lumbering armies and antiquated generalship of the American Civil War, Moltke devised a system in which General Staff officers—steeped in a common philosophy—would be able to coordinate the actions of their units almost instinctively, without the need for specific orders from high commanders.

		The younger Helmuth von Moltke, nephew of the man who directed Prussia's armies in the wars of German unification, was chief of the German General Staff from 1906 to 1914.
		A relatively conventional soldier, Moltke found himself heir to the boldest strategic conception of modern times, the so-called Schlieffen Plan (see Schlieffen, Alfred von), which he modified and implemented in line with his own cautious nature.
		Moltke's concern about the Russians was likewise reasonable, their military performance having improved considerably in the ten years since Schlieffen had perfected his work.

	The German Plan - Why Liège?
		Moltke most certainly took into consideration the fact that Germany still possessed the spoils of the Franco-Prussian War, Alsace and Lorraine, and France would fight vigorously for the return of the lost provinces to the fold.
		Moltke's successor, Count Alfred von Schlieffen, resolved to cover the Russian mobilization on the Eastern Front with a single army, and to attack, and annihilate, France.
		Schlieffen's successor, the elder Moltke's nephew, also Helmuth von Moltke, insisted on exact timetables and manpower strengths for his grand enveloping sweep around the left flank of the French Army.

		Moltke was a close personal friend of the Kaiser and had had almost daily contact with the monarch since 1891, a relationship Schlieffen never shared.

		The discussions of the international crises from 1908 to the outbreak of the war focus on Moltke's reaction to the crises and his role in bringing Germany ever closer to the war he believed was necessary for national survival.

	PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Spring 1996
		Moltke attempted to maintain separate spheres for politics and war, and believed that policy should not influence military operations.
		Moltke's rejection of Clausewitz reflects the struggle to retain control over the wherewithal that permits decisive victory and brings about the realization of the perfect battle.[13] The dispute between Moltke and Bismarck after the battle of Königgrätz on the third of July 1866 provides a classic example.
		On the negative side, Moltke's near-perfect victories at Sadowa (1866) and Sedan (1870), combined with his efforts to avoid the greater accuracy of infantry weapons, actually contributed more to the establishment of the so-called dogma of the "battle of annihilation" and the cult of the flank attack than did Schlieffen's writings.
