At the turn of the century the Imperial German General Staff, despite its undoubted brilliance, was, if anything, even more conservative in its outlook than its contemporaries, and was determined to win any future war with the three classic arms - cavalry, artillery and infantry. It viewed with dislike mechanical innovations which, in its view, created fresh and unnecessary problems which tended to detract from the main issue -and, of course, it was not alone in this. It was, however, an era in which immense progress was being made in the automotive field and, as in other countries, the War Ministry was bombarded with ideas from designers and manufacturers which had to be given a reasonable degree of consideration.
