re: #295 Feline Fearless Leader

Part of that was the Germans refighting the last war. They had considerable trouble with French Franc-tireurs in the Franco-Prussian War. Compounded by Belgium Army resistance at the beginning of the war helping to stymie the Schiffelin Plan.

Yeah, I got that from the book. The German generals really hated franc-tireurs as ignoble and cowardly, rather ironically.

I’m about halfway through the Tuchman book, still in 1914.
