Once read some historian (can't recall who) saying much of the slaughter of WWI was due to the generals using the same basic tactics used in the U.S. civil war but against machine guns and long range rapid fire artillery and learning nothing from it.
Liddell Hart and Guderian learned a lot from it...
and I now have tickets for the 27th and am really looking forward to it after watching the trailer.
