According to Google, this was published in 1929. In The Fighting Tanks Since 1916 by Jones, Rarey, & Icks there's a translation of an article or part of an article that appeared in Militär-Wochenblatt (Military Weekly) on December 25th, 1929. It's a detailed analysis of how the British failed to capitalise on the initial breakthrough. The article isn't attributed, but it sounds as if it might be connected.
It's about 600-650 words, which would take me a long time to type with 2 fingers. Fancy a PDF scan?

All those old German Reichsarchiv-series of WW1 Battles, done mainly in the 20-ies, are often very good, sometimes with amazing detail. You could probably snatch it up at Ebay pretty cheap! Just make sure they come with the maps. (The maps are BTW often excellent: first rate! The photos are poor, due to the reproduction technique.)
Hi James and Peter, thanks for your replies, I was hoping that one of the regulars had read this and could give me an opinion on it.... I'm also looking at an original copy of "Der Kampfwagenkrieg"- Ludwig Ritter von Eimannsberger-1932, this book seems to contains chapters on a number of major battles during WW1 involving tanks...as well as LRvE's theories on tank and combined arms tactics anyone read it?
Does anybody know if there is a transcript available in English? I'd be happy to pay for a copy if anybody has one.
I thought about buying the book but as I can't read a word of German it seems pointless. However, I'd like to read it as I'm very interested to see what it says about the attack on Fontaine-Notre-Dame on 23/11/17.
I'd be happy to translate it, though 192 pages might take me a few days.
I've made a PDF of the extract from The Fighting Tanks, but putting it on the site is quite beyond my capabilities. Any help welcomed.
