>Charbonneau explained that the defeat of the Colonial Corps was caused by faulty reconnaissance, the ineffectiveness of advanced guards in causing delay to advancing German units and that French offensive tactics neglected the importance of obtaining a superiority of fire, which had led to reckless attacks. The quality of the German opponents was not mentioned but German reconnaissance had been effective, communication between commanders and subordinates had not broken down, mutual support between neighbouring units had occurred and German artillery had provided continuous close fire support. ⇒シャルボノーは、植民地軍団の敗因が不完全な偵察調査、およびドイツ部隊の進軍に遅れを引き起こさせることに失敗した先発守備隊の無策に起因したことや、フランス軍の戦術で重要な火器攻撃の優勢を取ることを軽視して向こうみずな攻撃に至ったことにある、と説明した。敵軍の質については言及しなかったが、ドイツ軍の偵察は効果的であった。指揮官と部下の間のコミュニケーションは崩れることなく、近隣の部隊間の相互支持が行われて、砲兵隊は接近戦で火器攻撃の武器を注ぎ込み続けた。 >At Neufchâteau, the French colonial infantry had been out-gunned and outnumbered by German units, which had been able to engage all their forces quickly. The French XII Corps had a greater number of guns but was not able to overcome two German infantry battalions. German artillery had engaged the Colonial Brigade from close range but when in a hastily occupied defensive position, the French had nullified much of the German artillery-fire; French troops caught in the open had been annihilated. Both sides had attempted to gain fire superiority before advancing and once this had been achieved by the Germans, they had been able to manoeuvre without severe casualties ⇒ヌフシャトーでは、フランス植民地の歩兵連隊がドイツ部隊より火力でも部隊数でも劣っていたので、彼らの方は自前の軍隊をすばやくすべての会戦に投入参加させることができたのである。フランス軍の第十二軍団は、大量の銃砲を持ってはいたが、ドイツ軍の2個歩兵大隊を駆逐することができなかった。ドイツ軍の砲兵隊は、近距離から植民地軍旅団と交戦したが、フランス軍が急遽守備陣地を占領したときドイツ軍の火器類の多くを無効にした。戸外で捕えられたフランス軍隊は、完敗した。両軍とも、進軍する前に砲火で優勢を得ようとしたが、ひとたびドイツ軍によってこれが達成されると、彼らはさほど深刻な犠牲者も出さずに、作戦行動を進めることができたのである。
