 First World War.com - Who's Who - Georg von der Marwitz
However the war on the Western Front, where he was initially posted at the head of a group of cavalry divisions, did not lend itself well to cavalry as a form of offensive warfare, as he discovered at the Battle of Haelen in Belgium (the first cavalry engagement of the war) on 12 August 1914.
Marwitz was dispatched to the Eastern Front in command of the newly-established XXXVIII Reserve Corps, where it was believed that the cavalry would fare better.
Marwitz nevertheless retained command of Second Army in the immediate aftermath of its disaster, but was transferred to command of Fifth Army at Verdun six weeks later, retreating from combined U.S. and French forces.

The initial aim of von Bulow's Second Army, which comprised 320,000 men, was to seize the city of Liege, gateway to Belgium, which blocked the narrow gap between the 'Limburg appendix' and the Ardennes, the best entrance into Belgium.

However, General Erich von Ludendorff, the chief of staff for new theatre commander Field-Marshal Paul von Hindenburg dated the official dispatch reporting the victory from the nearby village of Tannenberg (Stebark), and the battle is thus known to history.
