East Prussia Campaign (13 Aug 1914 Jahr – 13 Sept 1914 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

The Russians invaded exposed German East Prussia with their First Army from the east and their Second Army from the south, although these two armies did not advance in unison. A small German victory at Stalluponen (17 August) and a larger German defeat at Gumbinnen (20 August) delayed the Russian First Army. General Maximilian von Prittwitz, the German Eighth Army commander, was shaken by Gumbinnen and ordered a general retreat to the Vistula River.
