		Clausewitz entered the Kriegsakademie in Berlin (also cited variously as "The German War School," the "Military Academy in Berlin," and the "Prussian Military Academy") in 1801 (age 21 years), studied the philosopher Kant and won the regard of General Gerhard von Scharnhorst, the future first chief of staff of the new Prussian Army (appointed 1809).
		Clausewitz was promoted to Major-General in 1818 and appointed director of the Kriegsakademie, where he served until 1830.
		Carl von Clausewitz was also a man of great intellect who participated in many actual military campaigns, but he did not suffer from any drive to make himself emperor of his nation or to attempt to conquer the world.

	HyperWar: An Unknown Future and A Doubtful Present [Chapter 4]
		As the Kriegsakademie emphasis was overwhelmingly offensive in nature, in his two years as a student in Berlin, Wedemeyer worked only three defensive situations in class, and but five situations requiring him to plan a delaying action.
		Kriegsakademie courses had stressed that every ground maneuver plan had to include a plan for employment of tactical air power as another part of its fire support.
		The Kriegsakademie had taught Wedemeyer that a merely adequate decision, quickly reached, was far better than a perfect one reached after the fact.

	HyperWar: An Unknown Future and A Doubtful Present [Chapter 1]
		His attendance at the Kriegsakademie had a direct bearing on his eventual duties, inasmuch as Wedemeyer studied, in the years immediately preceding World War II, the battle doctrine of the nation that was to become America's chief enemy.
		The Kriegsakademie assumed a thorough knowledge of minor tactics and staff procedures on the part of its students.
		Reaching beyond the purely operational level, the Kriegsakademie curriculum sought creative thought on the problems of conducting modern, mechanized, mobile warfare, both in terms of operations and in terms of the logistical arrangements necessary to support such operations.

		Certainly that he came from the Taksins, and that the Taksins came from the same Sino-Siamese bourgeoisie [5] that had provided military commanders since the 1920's, at least.
		Definitely that, in addition to his education at the Imperial Academy, he'd graduated from the Kriegsakademie in Berlin just before the Global War broke out.
		Probably that Taksin had allied himself with the growing anti-German sentiment--perhaps they'd figured out that it was the German arrogance towards dressed-up Siamese such as himself that made him see the current alliance as temporary.

		He realized the full benefits of that work in his next assignment, which was also primarily academic.
		In the fall of 1936, the War Department sent him on a two-year tour as an exchange student at Germany’s historic military college (the Kriegsakademie) in Berlin.
		Throughout the instruction at the Kriegsakademie and based upon my observations while serving with troops on maneuvers, I have been impressed with the thoroughness with which the military as a whole is being trained to seize and maintain the initiative.

		For the same reason the study of the sea history of the past will be found instructive, by its illustration of the general principles of maritime war.”2 Now if Maban was ardent in his search for the general principles of war to guide naval strategists, Army strategists throughout the western world were even more so.
		At the Kriegsakademie in Berlin, the Ecole Supeneure de Guerre in Paris, and the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, great effort was made to develop a body of general principles that presumably governed the conduct of war on land.
		But if these military analysts agreed that history taught clear and useful lessons, and that these lessons could be expressed in terms of scientific laws or "principles," they did not necessarily agree as to what these principles were, or even how many there were.

		Wedemeyer, an Omaha boy, was one of the few men on the Allied side who had graduated from the German war college, the Kriegsakademie in Berlin.
		Wedemeyer felt Roosevelt's demand for unconditional surrender in 1943 was a grave error, compelling Germany, which might have turned against Hitler, to fight to the bitter end.
		Wedemeyer's closest friend from the Kriegsakademie was Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, the officer who planted the bomb that nearly killed Hitler.

		Our observers unanimously agreed that the main body of doctrine taught at the Kriegsakademie--the body of dQoctrine that underlies the German warfare of today--is set forth in Truppenführung, the German tactical bible so very similar in matter and precept to our own FM Field Service Regulations, Operations.
		taught at the Kriegsakademie is actually a practical adaptation of relevant parts of Truppenführung.
		It will be noted that this résumé (ignoring the factor of translation) is written almost exactly as a German would instruct Germans.

		Moltke wrote technical studies, histories, translations, and fiction in attempts to advance his career, which in 1829 he diagnosed as suffering from his own weakness of character.

		Conventional wisdom holds that the Victory Plan was an important step forward for the Army because it looked at the problem of mobilizing for war from the point of view of the civilian economy, rather than the demands of military expansion.

		In America, as elsewhere, it had not been recognised before the Civil War, even by the military authorities, that if armies are to be handled with success they must be directed by trained strategists.
		No Kriegsakademie or its equivalent existed in the United States, and the officers whom common-sense induced to follow the advice of Napoleon had to pursue their studies by themselves.
		To these the campaigns of the great Emperor offered an epitome of all that had gone before; the campaigns of Washington explained how the principles of the art might be best applied to their own country, and Mexico had supplied them with practical experience.

	Heinz Guderian
		By the outbreak of the war every German tank had at least a radio receiver and every command tank had a transmitter, which gave the German armored formations an extremely high degree of tactical flexibility.
		Many senior officers, often artillerymen, were not prepared to accept Guderian's ideas without the necessary proof, and reminded him that he was not a Kriegsakademie man; he was a technician with inadequate understanding of the higher strategic thought process.
		However, one of the panzer arm's most enthusiastic proponent was none other than Adolf Hitler, Germany's new Chancellor, who had exclaimed, on witnessing one of Guderian's demonstrations involving a motor-cycle platoon, two armored car platoons, a platoon of experimental PzKpfw Is and an anti-tank platoon: 'That is what I need!

		As early as 1872, Li Hung Chang, the military governor of the province of Chihli, sent several Chinese military officers to German so they could attend the Kriegsakademie (this effort was however of questionable value).
		In 1885, when Li Hung Chang established a military academy near Tientsin (Tianjin), he hired German military instructors to represent its staff.
