1 document reprographié d'époque de 6 pp. Cet intéressant document rédigé par le Quartier Général allemand du IVe Corps I a n° 673 le 14 septembre 1915, et destiné "aux QG des Corps d'Armée et de la 6e Div. de Rés. Bav. de la 11e Div., des Généraux Commandant l'Artillerie des Secteurs Sud et Nord, et au Général Commandant les Pionniers" se découpe en deux chapitres : 1 : Pour Neutraliser l'artillerie ennemie ; 2 : Destruction des obstacles et assauts. L'auteur évoque le fort de Douaumont, le rôle de l'aviation ennemie ("Les aéroplanes français étaient supérieurs en nombre, mais au cours des dernières attaques, nos aéroplanes de combat réussirent, d'une façon générale, à empêcher l'ennemi d'observer nos positions d'artillerie"). Il insiste sur les spécifcités des combats en Argonne. Par exemple, "c'est une particularité des combats en Argonne que les premières lignes doivent toujours être fortement occupées pour s'opposer à une attaque possible, vu que le mauvais état des routes et les tirs de barrage de l'ennemi empêchent l'arrivée rapide des réserves ; il y a également de nombreux abris disponibles". Il fournit le détail des quantités de munitions par KM de front utilisées en Argonne, sur le rôle de l'aviation "Après l'assaut, lorsque le bombardement ennemi, généralement, atteint son maximum, les aviateurs sont chargés de repérer et de signaler au moyen de la télégraphie sans fil toutes les batteries en action et les nouvelles batteries s'il y en a. Dans ce but, ils sont toujours pourvus de cartes spéciales sur lesquelles les batteries ennemies sont marquées et numérotées de telle sorte que toute nouvelle batterie qui apparaît peut-être signalée quant à sa position, au moyen des batteries déjà repérées".
