The Battle of Verdun: Immense Destruction and Dead For Absolutely Nothing*Warfare History Network* *History, * The Battle of Verdun backfired on German strategists. *Key Point: *Verdun and the other battles of World War I had sapped the French nation—morally, physically, materially. Operation *Gericht*—German for “judgment” or “tribunal”—was the brainchild of Erich von Falkenhayn, chief of the German general staff as the year 1915 was coming to a close.
