The irony is that the intel gleaned from the French officers who slept with her was worth nothing to the Germans because they didn’t need to change anything that they were doing based on it.

The French tactics were horrid, and far more damaging to millions of doomed French soldiers, than to the Germans.

64% of all French males were casualties in WW1.

French tactics obliterated their Warrior Class.

France had a population of 40mm in 1914, probably 20mm males. 6.2mm WWI casualties among the military. To me it seems more like a third than two-thirds.

Still an inconceivable number. At least one out of every ten men was killed - the country was literally decimated.
