description: Colonel Doughty (US Army and West Point) examines the German victory at Sedan, which has generally been viewed as testament to an innovative and invincible German war machine. Through detailed analysis of both French and German battle records, he reconstructs the battle and reveals, not a new and superior weaponry or war machine, but efficient technical and procedural use of the German infantry.
