To analyse the German tactics in the Western front I suggest the book:

German Stormtrooper 1914-1918 (Weapons, Armour, Tactics)
By Ian Drury and Gerry Embleton

Coming back to the General Von Moltke (lock at Gene reply), he was not able to apply correctly the Schliefflen Plan. In this way the German armies fought against two fronts (Western and Russian fronts). Due to this fact, it was very difficult to deploy all necessary armies on the Western front. When the Russian signed the armistice with German (Brest-Litovsk march, 3 1918) the USA armies were already deployed in the Western front. When the German armies hocked on the Russian front were employed on the western front they didn't succeed in changing the fates of the war.

Ciao
