De Castelnau - The Great FORGOTTEN General of 14-18

Let's talk about General Edouard de Castelnau, the Great Forgotten General of 1914-18. From the First World War, we remember the names of Pétain, Foch, Joffre, and Nivelle, all associated with great victories and great disasters: the Miracle of the Marne, Verdun, the Chemin des Dames, and the final Hundred Days Offensive in 1918, which led to the German collapse. But there is one name that has remained largely unmentioned for a very long time, a name that probably means nothing to most history buffs. A man who likely suffered from the turmoil of his time, but whose name has been increasingly resonating in recent years. For this shadowy general demonstrated tactical skill, strategic foresight, composure in times of crisis, and resilience in the face of adversity. 0:00 Intro 1:00 Youth, Franco-Prussian War 3:23 The Dreyfus Affair and its consequences 6:40 Preparation for World War I in the General Staff 9:30 From 1914 to 1916 18:51 Chief of Staff: Verdun and the Somme 23:20 End of the war and supporting role 24:20 Post-war 26:00 Outro Sources: The French Army: Two Centuries of Engagement De Castelnau: Le Maréchal Escamoté - Jean-Louis Thiériot Films: All Quiet on the Western Front A Very Long Engagement The Dreyfus Affair (1995) Music Jo Wandrini - Sciophobia The Descent Johannes Bornlöf - The Marshes Scott Buckley - Filaments
