Hindenburg commander of German forces the war in August 1914. He took lead of the war of the battle of Tannenberg. It was the Germans Army's greatest success of the war. The commander sends a letter to his emperor and king saying that in the 13th, 15th, and 18th, the Army Corps have been destroyed. They have already taken more than 60,000 prisoners. The guns are still in the forests and are now being brought in.
The Corps outside is his ring. Soldiers had been severely damaged and are now retreating in hot haste through Mlawa and Myszaniec. The commander saw a lot of violence and it was very hard for him to keep control over the battle because the Russians attacked hem badly at first. The bloody struggle continued until August 28. In the first place they were thin. He says thin, not weak because it was composed of men with great hearts and they never gave up. Behind them there were their homes, wives and children, parents and relatives. It was everything they had. |
