I was flabbergasted at the French and British generals’ stubborn belief in the cavalry’s effectiveness in warfare, even as wave after wave of men and horses were cut down by machine gun fire. Even more perplexing was the refusal of all the generals on both sides to accept reports from the front as evidence their strategies were completely ineffective.

It wasn’t until the Germans started running out of manpower that they began developing and implementing modern assault tactics.
