Hi,

I have been reading up on the German War Plans for 1918 in several sources and found repeated mentions of several potential war plans, one of which was Operation Michael which was the one chosen IOTL.

These include Operation George focused on Flanders, a smaller version of which was launched after Operation Michael IOTL named Operation Georgette. What I was wondering was what people think might have been the result if the Germans had gone with this plan instead of Operation Michael. Oh, and if anyone knows where to find detailed information on what precisely the details of Operation George were I would be incredibly grateful.

The other option I read about was Operation Mars, which was focused on Arras, which was attempted briefly but quickly failed IOTL. What were the actual plans behind this effort and could it have succeeded if they had launched it instead of Operation Michael?

So basically, what would starting with Operation George or Mars instead of Michael have looked like?
