What was Sichelshnitt?
Maybe The German attack through the Ardennes called Sichelschnitt?
Is it a spicey German sausage? Just kidding, I think it was an offensive plan that was used in 1940 on the western front?
The German offensive through the Ardennes was called Sichelshnitt, meaning Sickle cut.
They had intended to sever the advancing Allied line, cutting it in two then to capture Antwerp.
It was then planned to sweep north in a curve (like a sickle,) to encircle and destroy four Allied armies.
This according to Hr Schikelgrüber, would force the Allies to negotiate a peace treaty with advantages to Germany.
Erich von Manstein received the position of Chief of Staff of the Army Group A. On February 1st of 1940, he received the command of 38th Infantry Corps (which he successfully commanded in France and was first across the River Seine) and later proposed his own new plan of the attack on France based on his experiences in Poland, where he mastered the technique of Blitzkrieg. He completely ignored originally intended Schlieffen Plan dating back to 1914 and devised his own plan named Operation Sichelschnitt (sickle-stroke/cut/slice). The main idea of his plan was to attack using a concentrated Panzer force through the Ardennes Forest to seize the bridges over the River Meuse before striking eastwards, while outflanking the Maginot Line and cutting off French Armies in the North.First his plan was rejected by the German Army’s High Command (OKH), but once it was brought to Hitler’s personal attention on February 7th, it was quickly accepted. During the French Campaign, Erich von Manstein was promoted to the rank of General and on June 19th of 1940, after the success of Fall Gelb, he was awarded the Knight’s Cross.
