Lossberg disagreed, believing that the British would launch a broad front offensive, that the ground east of the Sehnen Iine was easy to defend, that the Menin Road Ridge could be held if it was made the schwerpunkt ( point of main effort ) and that Pilckem Ridge deprived the British of ground observation over the Steenbeek Valley, while the Germans could see the area from Passchendaele Ridge, allowing German infantry to be supported by observed artillery fire.
