	Battle of Tannenberg (1914) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Russian 2nd Army under General Alexander Samsonov, located to the south, was to move westward around the Masurian Lakes and then swing north over a hilly area to cut off the Germans, who would by this point be forced into defending the area around Königsberg.
		Meanwhile, Samsonov's 2nd was having serious problems moving forward due to fragile supply lines to the rear, and unknown even to Samsonov, Rennenkampf had decided to delay the 1st's advance to regroup after Gumbinnen.
		The battle is at the center of Alexander Solzhenitsyn's novel August 1914.

	Alexander Samsonov, 1859-1914, Russian General
		Samsonov felt that he had been led down by Rennenkampf, and the two men came to blows.
		With this in mind, it is perhaps odd that at the outbreak of the First World War the two men were entrusted with the invasion of German East Prussia, and the total lack of co-operation between the two men doomed both of their armies.
		Samsonov was one of the few to escape the trap, but in despair at having failed the Tsar shot himself, probably on 29 August.

		The 1st Army was to punch through the corridor between the Baltic Sea and the Masurian Lakes region to the south.
		In contrast, the Russian commanders, Samsonov and Rennenkamf, were not even on speaking terms, and there was little coordination between their armies.

		Two Russian armies, under generals Alexander Samsonov and Paul von Rennenkampf, crossed Germany’s border in East Prussia on August 17.
		Because the armies of Samsonov and Rennenkampf were operating separately, without mutual coordination, the Germans were able to deal with them one at a time.
		Eventually, weakened by constant pounding from German artillery, Samsonov’s troops were forced to retreat.

	2. The Eastern Front, 1914-1915. 2001. The Encyclopedia of World History
		The essence of this joint plan was to concentrate the German army against the second Russian army (Gen. Alexander Samsonov), which was beginning the invasion of East Prussia from the southeast.
		Throughout these and later operations the Germans were aided greatly by the interception of unciphered Russian messages, and by the unreadiness of Rennenkampf (leader of the first Russian army) to do much to relieve Samsonov.
		The Germans then turned on the first Russian army (Gen. Paul Rennenkampf), which was obliged to fall back.

		More than 400,000 civilians were in Stalingrad when the battle began on July 17, 1942, academician historian Alexander Samsonov said in his 1983 book "Stalingrad Battle."
		In his book, Samsonov quotes an official letter written by the first secretary of the Stalingrad Communist Party to the people's commissar of the River Fleet dated Aug. 5 saying what should be moved across the Volga to safety.
		Samsonov says the decision not to evacuate the civilian population was wrong.

		The Bruins rallied from a two-goal deficit in the third period and won on Brad Stuart's goal 2:02 into overtime Tuesday night for a 4-3 victory over the Washington Capitals.
		Washington rookie Alexander Ovechkin's 21st goal gave the Capitals a 3-1 lead with 8:13 remaining in the third period, but the Bruins capitalized on turnovers to rally for two goals in the next 59 seconds.
		Quick puck movement around the crease set up Marco Sturm's 11th goal, and Samsonov got his 15th by skating to the front of the crease and deking Olie Kolzig before going to his backhand for the point-blank shot.

	Rennenkampf, Pavel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Rennenkampf was the commander of the Vilna Military District when the war broke out and, upon mobilization, assumed command of the First Army.
		The war plan called for an invasion of East Prussia by Rennenkampf's First Army and Alexander Samsonov's Second Army with the objective of forcing the Germans to withdraw troops from the invasion of France.
		Rennenkampf sat idly while the entire Eighth Army concentrated against Samsonov's Second Army, surrounded it and destroyed it at the Battle of Tannenberg.

	The Eastern Front — 1914 - 1917
		Two days later, General Alexander Samsonov's Second Army attacked around the right flank of the German Eighth Army commanded by General Friedrich von Prittwitz (marked 2).
		The Battle of Tannenberg ended by August 30 when Samsonov's entire command disintegrated at a cost of 92,000 captured and tens of thousands of other casualties.
		By March of that year, some Army units began ignoring their orders, a situation made worse as growing Communist rebel groups exaggerated reports of minor events such as the revolt of a Russian Guard depot formation at Petrograd (this famous mutiny was carried out by trainees and depot troops, not by fully trained Imperial Guardsmen).

		While replacements taken from the western front were in transit, the 8th Army's Chief of Operations, Max Hoffmann, redeployed the German forces.
		Hoffmann's plan left a screening force to delay the Russian 1st Army (under General Paul von Rennenkampf) which was approaching from the east, and set a trap for the Russian 2nd Army (under General Alexander Samsonov) which was moving up from the south.
		Rather than report the loss of his army to the Tsar, Samsonov committed suicide by shooting himself in the head on August 29, 1914.
