Has anyone looked at what happens if the French and British get wind of Moltke junior's version of the Schlieffen plan in some detail. Maybe a spy, maybe a traitor or maybe an accident of some sort.
Do the French, Belgians and British manage to cut off the advancing German 1st and 2nd armies. Maybe the 3rd and 4th German armies are held in the Ardennes with better French preparation while the 2 more northern armies blunder on unaware of the trap they are running into.
The more i read about and consider the Schlieffen plan the more it dawns on me, what a potentially huge disaster waiting to happen this could have been for the Germans. but will the allies agree to allow part of Belgium to be over run in order to lay the trap.
