1570 See : KA, Schneller Tagebuch, beginning of January to 25.2.1917 (= 1060 to 1112). From Scheller’s
elaborations and the amendments made by the Chief of the Operations Division, General Metzger, as
well as Conrad’s comments on the sketch for the operations, it is evident that an attack was planned
in two directions, in which the focus was again to be on South Tyrol. If this study is transferred to
the Twelfth Battle of the Isonzo in 1917 and the Piave Offensive in 1918, key elements were already
anticipated for both operations.

1572 KA, op. geh. No. 234. Hindenburg justified his decision by referring to the lack of ammunition, and
pointed out that the Central Powers would in general act defensively. The latter was still linked to the
peace offer by the Central Powers, although opinions in the German Supreme Army Command were
anyway divided with regard to an engagement in Italy. The former was a thinly disguised excuse, since
at precisely that point in time, more ammunition was being produced in Germany than could be fired.
