And since logistics is the critical enabler of any extended period of operations, the Germans never developed the robust logistics structure or the adequate logistics doctrine needed to carry them through a long war. Thus, sequential effects and extended operations in time carried a low priority in German thinking. To avoid this trap, German military thinking focused on conducting short wars that would be won by a single decisive battle.
With its geographic position in Europe and relatively defenseless borders east and west, Germany’s worst strategic nightmare was always the two-front war.
