Unanswered Questions

Analysis

The Rosen Ritter are extremely well trained, being able to defeat many times their number in close combat.

The Rosen Ritter have a reputation as some of the garrison troops even surrendered when they heard the name.

The Rosen Ritter made good use of Zephyr particles when they attacked Iserlohn garrison. Though the garrison could have sacrificed themselves by firing the Zephyr particles, they chose to attack Rosen Ritters in close combat, where they were soundly trashed.

Oberstein saw through Yang’s plan but Seeckt probably considered his younger subordinate to be incompetent and didn’t follow his advice.
