Algebra, chapter I, § 6. Extensions, solvable groups, nilpotent groups

Let G be a nilpotent group of class ≤ n and let N be a normal subgroup of G. There exists a series of subgroups

N=N1⊃N2⊃…⊃Nn+1={e} N = N^1 \supset N^2 \supset \ldots \supset N^{n+1} = \{e\}

such that (G, N^k) ⊂ N^{k+1} for k = 1, ..., n.

If (G^k) satisfies condition (b) of Proposition 7, then take

Nk=Gk∩N. N^k = G^k \cap N.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
