Even after the First World War, the British and German armies remained strongly influenced by Clausewitz, for whom personality rather than mass was the best means to reduce friction. This article explores how this was reflected in their military doctrine between the two world wars. The German regulations showed a clear alignment with Clausewitz's thinking. The British tended to focus on the characteristics Clausewitz had argued were necessary for the troops, rather than for their commanders. The campaigns of 1939/40 caused the Germans to place even greater emphasis on boldness, while the British focused on steadiness and caution.

克劳塞维茨与英德军事学说中战场指挥官的人格特征，1918-1941

即使在第一次世界大战之后，英国和德国军队仍然受到克劳塞维茨的强烈影响，对他来说，个性而不是群众是减少摩擦的最佳手段。本文探讨了这在两次世界大战之间的军事学说中是如何体现的。德国的规定与克劳塞维茨的思想明显一致。英国人倾向于关注克劳塞维茨认为对军队而非指挥官来说是必要的特征。1939/40 年的战役使德国人更加强调大胆，而英国人则更加注重稳健和谨慎。
