Was Moltke badly informed? Was Bis

The German army, with a little audacity,
could have made itself master of Paris
during tie first days of investment. How?
1t would merely have been sufficient to
mass rapidly during the night n corps of
21GUO resolutc men between Sevres and
Bas-Neudon. This corps composed OF
equal divisions of cavalry, artillery and
infantry could have been hurled at the
-Meudon gate. where only handful of
Mobiles stood guard. AT the same time the
cavalry. arriving at gallop along the
Vaugirard and Point de Jour bastions,
