	Mackensen Document
		August von Mackensen was one of the most distinguished officers in the army of Kaiser Wilhelm II.
		During the Nazi period von Mackensen was to be a focus for many disaffected officers from the old army; one of his sons was to serve as a general in Italy and he himself was to remain faithful unto death to his king and emperor.
		As the grave was made ready and the last respects made, von Mackensen, with tears in his eyes, offered his own private gesture to the man to whose loyalty he owed his own success: he carefully laid his cavalry cloak over the coffin and saluted the shades of old Prussia.

		Mackensen strikes me as not a very German sounding name, and I found in looking around that there was actually a popular myth at one time that von Mackensen was actually a cashiered Scotish soldier who had joined the German Army after being tossed out of the British Army.
		In 1914, von Mackensen came to attention for his part as commander of the German XVII Corps in the battles of Tannenberg and the Masurian Lakes ('Tannenberg 1914' Sweetman J. He was then given command of the German 9th Army and launched a further offensive against the Russians.
		On May 2nd, von Mackensen commanded the German 11th Army and the 4th Austro-Hungarian Army (von Mackensen Gruppe) that broke through the Russians in the Gorlice-Tarnow offensive ('General Headquarters 1914-1916' von Falkenhayn ISBN 0 89839 309 4) and led to the expulsion of the Russians from Poland.

		By an agreement of August 1919, the Entente had sanctioned the maintenance in the neutral zone of a military police force, and therefore the Entente, including France, had recognized that measures necessary for the preservation of order in the neutral zone did not constitute a violation of the treaty.
		A meeting of the Supreme Council, consisting of the British, French, and Italian prime ministers, was opened at San Remo on April 19; and the Council had to deal, among other questions, with the German invasion of the Ruhr Valley, and with the problem of disarmament generally.

	Erwin Rommel: THE ROUMANIAN CAMPAIGN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Mackensen's plan was to attack Turtukai with two divisions and to use the remainder of his forces to hold off the other troops in that area.
		In spite of reports of von Mackensen's concentration at Sistova, the Roumanians made only feeble efforts with second- rate troops to prevent the crossing; consequently the Roumanian defense is no criterion of the possibilities of the defense of a river line under modern conditions.
		Von Mackensen's force, now across the Danube, was drawing close to the important city of Bucharest; however, he was isolated and too far advanced for support from the Ninth Army.
