He gives example from 1940 because that exactly today how did he know this ?
The failed counteroffensive of 2023 and the delay in Western arms suppliers likely preclude an offensive in 2024. Thus, Ukraine should make virtue of necessity and seek to use the coming year to seek to out-reform the Russians so that it can take the offensive with qualitative superiority sufficient to achieve decisive results.

Expanding both domestic and Western training programs should be at the core of this effort. Training engineers in particular should be emphasized due to the mines and fortifications Ukraine will have to overcome. Cross-branch training as well is a prerequisite for combined arms warfare.

Frieser concludes his book by referencing Marx's quote, that history repeats itself, once as tragedy, the second time as farce. The first he corresponds to the Nazi victory over France in 1940, the second to the Battle of the Bulge in 1944, where a similar operational plan led to a resounding defeat for the Germans.
Frieser is just another example of historian are low IQ, they not just picked an useless degree but they compared different time periods that have not much in common but he can't do better because he has no other skills than some memorised info from past
