From what I know the biggest problem with the Schlieffen plan was that he took no account in the troops becoming exhausted and unable to keep to the timetable. So as they advance German troops we less and less able to keep to the timetable. The problem with the German Spring Offensive of Erich Ludendorff was that they he was an excellent tactician he he had no ideas about strategy. He planned battles with great insight but these battles did not lead to an end goal because he had no idea what the end goal was or how to get there, The British 4th Army which took part in the 100 Days Campaign was made up of four division with each division made up of two corps. That is two British corps, two Canadian corps, two ANZAC corps and two American corps. The American troops were taught how to fight like the British and Commonwealth troops to help them fit in better. The army was led by Australian General Montash who was the one came up with the All Armies idea of fighting. Part of the Royal Air Force was dedicated to ground attack and their aircraft were fitted with armour to help them to survive better. When Kaiser Wilhelm II dismissed Bismarck, Bismarck's last words to Wilhelm was never fight England (Britain) as he would lose. Those words came back to haunt Wilhelm.
