Summary "Die Festungen gegenüber den gezogenen Geschützen" by Moritz von Prittwitz is a military treatise written in the early 19th century, specifically around the 1860s. This publication falls within the realm of scientific literature focused on military engineering and fortifications, examining the implications of advancements in artillery on the construction and defense of fortresses. The book offers an in-depth analysis of the effects of newly developed artillery methods on the effectiveness of existing fortification strategies. In the text, von Prittwitz discusses the evolving nature of military artillery and the necessary adaptations in fortifications to counter these advancements. He emphasizes the importance of strategic construction, including the use of earthworks and masonry in defensive architecture, while evaluating the effectiveness of various types of artillery fire, such as direct and indirect breach shots. He argues that while advancements in artillery pose significant challenges, proper engineering solutions can mitigate these impacts, maintaining that fortifications remain a vital aspect of military defense despite the growing power of attack methods. Throughout his analysis, von Prittwitz provides historical context and examples, making a case for the continued relevance and necessity of strategic fortification in military operations.
