I spend a lot of time making posts to justify why I'm not a self centered shithead that just wants to act like COVID isn't a thing.

Books I'm reading that I really like:

Stormtroop Tactics

Often, when I jerk off, I jerk to something like this. This book dives in depth into the development of German trench raiding tactics in WWI. It's academic but way more accessible than you think. Amazing stuff. The Germans learned quick about how to assault entrenched positions.


If you haven't yet, you should check out Battle Tactics of the Western Front - the British Army's Art of Attack 1914-1918 https://www.amazon.com/Battle-Tactics-Western-Front-British/dp/0300066635

Similar kind of book about what was happening on the other side of no man's land. Except at the end and beginning of the war, the Germans were largely on the strategic defensive and their attacks were mostly raids, as you said. The Brits had to learn how to do big strategic offensives and this book goes into that story in great detail. I bet you'd love it.
