"Thc amount of suffering on both

promptly with the wondcd. was
great, but especially to Germans,
whose casualties were from five to

'.rhe Germans paid terrible pen:
ty for the boldncss Of the scheme OF

of view could be justified only by a
conviction of German officers that

was in undertaking the fighting
