7318875.Pdf (10.46 INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may hava necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper (eft hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5. PLEASE NOTE: Some pages may have indistinct print. Filmed as received.

Bavaria e s p e c ia lly , the la rg e s t o f the South German states and the most devoted to her own historical and religious traditions, balked at becoming part o f a new Germany unless the in te g r ity o f her institutions was guaranteed and unless she was allowed a great measure of political autonomy. Eager to complete German u n ific a tio n , Bismarck was willing to paolfy the Bavarians with a number of concessions. One of these concessions, opposed II I l l by Prussian military leaders and German liberals alike, allowed, within carefully defined limits, the autonomy of the Bavarian army under the peace­ time command of the King of Bavaria. The fact that from the foundation of the Ger­ man Empire in 1871 to the beginning of the First World War in 191^* the Bavarian army existed as a separate and clearly identifiable part of the Ger- man army created certain problems. It became necessary, for example, to establish the ways by which the Bavarian military authorities could co­ operate the Prussian military establishment in coordinating the education of officers, the training of conscripts, and the Introduction of new armaments. The solution of this problem re­ quired a clarification of the relationship between the military authorities in Bavaria and those In Prussia, a task complicated by the different mili­ tary and constitutional traditions of the two states and by the absence of an imperial'ministry of war. The Bavarian military establishment also \ \ \\ \ \ \ needed to find ways to fulfill its constitutional obligations to the Empire -- the adoption of methods of training and organization established for the entire German army and the submission to periodic inspections — which would not endanger the prized autonomy of Bavarian m ilitary institu­ tions. Bavarian leaders sought to train Bavarian soldiers equal to Prussian military standards but at the same time to protect their army from attempts, real or supposed, to integrate it into the Prus­ sian military struoture. The autonomous status of the Bavarian army in the German Empire th e re fo re ra is e d a number of interesting questions concerning the role of the Bavarian military authorities and their represen­ tatives in Berlin, the training of Bavarian officers at Prussian commands, the preservation of the " f e d e r a lis t" c h a ra c te r o f the German army a g a in st the centralists in Berlin, the nature of Imperial control over the Bavarian army, and the fate of the Bavarian army in the First World War. The most V valuable source In examining these questions was the material available in the Bavarian War Archives in Munich (Bayerisches Hiauptstaatsarchiv, Abteilung IV, * Kriegsarchiv)♦ To a lesser extent, material in the Bavarian State Archives (Bayerisches Hauptstaats- archiv, Abteilung II, Geheimes Staatsarchlv) and the Bavarian State Library (Bayerische Staats- blbllothek) was also helpful. I am thankful to the Director of the Bavarian War Archives, Dr. Jaeger, and his staff for their generous help. I wish also to thank Hiss Johnnie Ann Ralph and Mr. John Tibbals, reference librarians at the library of the library of the California State College, San Bernardino, for their help in locating several of the books necessary for the completion of this dissertation. I owe a debt of'gratitude to my brother, Pother Theodore Campbell, C. S. P., for his continued help,, encouragement, and support. I most deeply appreciate, however, the careful guidance of my advisor, Professor Andreas Dorpalen, who spent many hours patiently reading Vi the earlier drafts of the dissertation:, offering suggestions and corrections, and, in the process-, teaching me many valuable things about the prin­ ciples and methods of historical research* VITA August 5» 19^3 * • • Born - Elmira, New York 1965 5* A * 1 St. Iawrence Univer­ sity, Canton, New York 1965-1966 .

Der Begriff „Nepotismus“ — im Deutschen meist verächtlich mit „Vettern­ wirtschaft“ übersetzt — ist hauptsächlich auf die römischen Päpste des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts angewandt worden, die ihre Neffen mit Besitzungen und Würden überhäuften und das Amt des „Kardinalnepoten“ einführten, der zur Schlüsselfigur des päpstlichen Herrschaftssystems wurde.

  • Processes of Tactical Learning in a WWI German Infantry Division1
    Journal of Military and Strategic VOLUME 13, ISSUE 4, Summer 2011 Studies Strategy "in a microcosm": Processes of tactical learning in a WWI German Infantry Division1 Christian Stachelbeck Despite the defeat of 1918, the tactical warfare of German forces on the battlefields against a superior enemy coalition was often very effective. The heavy losses suffered by the allies until well into the last months of the war are evidence of this.2 The tactical level of military action comprises the field of direct battle with forces up to division size. Tactics – according to Clausewitz, the “theory of the use of military forces in combat” – is the art of commanding troops and their organized interaction in combined arms combat in the types of combat which characterized the world war era – attack, defense and delaying engagement.3 1 This paper is based on my book Militärische Effektivität im Ersten Weltkrieg. Die 11. Bayerische Infanteriedivision 1915-1918, Paderborn et al. 2010 (=Zeitalter der Weltkriege, 6). It is also a revised version of my paper: “Autrefois à la guerre, tout était simple“.
