Note 172 — THE FORMAL TACTICS OF INFANTRY. (continued 4)
Walter Krueger translation
Capitaine Cugnac, D = 14 (H + 50). See also the work of Captain Knobloch, Zur Technik des Feuerangriffs gegen Höhenstellungen, Swiss Monthly Journal, 1907.
The well-known plateau of the “Galgenhügel” at Wörth, which is at present crowned by the monument of the 50th Infantry (elevation 35 m.) could be effectively swept by the fire of our present-day weapons at 1025 m.; a further advance would reduce the fire effect. For rifle model ’98 the formula might be stated: 20.H + 600.
