The Wehrmacht also drew a sharp line between deliberation and implementation: once a decision has been made, the mindset changes. Forget uncertainty and complexity. Act! “If one wishes to attack, then one must do so with resoluteness. Half measures are out of place,” Moltke wrote.

One must adhere to it and not allow oneself to be dissuaded by the enemy’s actions until this has become unavoidably necessary.”
