Battle of Hartmannswillerkopf
The fighting from 20 December 1915 to 8 January 1916 cost the French 7,465 casualties, about 50 percent of the attacking force, of whom 1,103 were taken prisoner, along with thirty machine-guns; German casualties were 4,513 men, 1,700 being taken prisoner. Dubail stopped offensive operations to rest the survivors and to avoid French resources being drained away to little purpose; in "Étude au sujet des opérations dans les Vosges" (4 January 1916) Dubail recommended that such enterprises be avoided.
