	Second Battle of the Masurian Lakes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		German Chief of Staff Erich von Falkenhayn strongly believed that the war was going to be won on the Western Front and was hesitant to lend support to Paul von Hindenburg, commander of the Eastern Front.
		Facing Hindenburg was General Sievers' Russian Tenth Army in the area of the Masurian Lakes.
		The greatest loss came when the Russian XX Corps, under General Bulgakov, had become surrounded by the German Tenth Army in the Augustow Forest; on February 21 the entire corps surrendered.

	First World War.com - Battles - The Second Battle of the Masurian Lakes, 1915
		The plan was sanctioned by German Chief of Staff Erich Falkenhayn despite his reluctance to commit resources in the east - he firmly believed the war was to be won in the west.
		Falling back, the Russians were attacked by the German Tenth Army - a newly created army sent to the east, consisting of eight divisions - on 9 February from the north, this time against their right flank.
		Any further German progress eastwards was ended by an attack from the Russian Twelfth Army, under Wenzel von Plehve, on 22 February directed against the German right flank.

	Anzio Campaign
		The proposed beachhead was bounded in the north by the Moletta and Incastro Rivers, in the center by open fields leading to the villages of Padiglione and Aprilia along the Anzio-Albano Road, and in the south by the villages of Cisterna and Littoria, a provincial capital, and the Mussolini Canal.
		As the Germans later discovered, General Lucas was neither bold nor imaginative, and he erred repeatedly on the side of caution, to the increasing chagrin of both Alexander and Clark.
		The Germans renewed their attacks on 7 February in the weakened British 1st Division sector and, in two days of bitter fighting, pushed the British troops from the Factory and Carroceto.

	Italian Resistance
		Worse news for the Germans came when their division en route to Genoa was waylaid by partisans from the mountains, surrounded, and obliged to surrender.
		With the German lines broken south of the Po, both Allied armies now sought to encircle as many units as possible before Lieutenant General von Vietinghoff--who had inherited Army Group "C" from Kesselring after its veteran commander was called to the Western Front to try to stem Eisenhower's advance--could withdraw them north of the Po.
		On 27 April, the German command in Venice issued an ultimatum to the local CNL threatening to destroy the city's key installations, unless the partisans agreed to allow withdrawal of the German garrison of 2,300 troops plus 1,800 Fascists.

	5th Army History • Conclusion
		Without their automatic weapons and crew-served pieces the German forces were incapable of effective resistance, but some rifles and pistols were left with them at this stage for protection against the partisans and for maintenance of discipline, which remained a function of the German command.

		The German patients and medical personnel in the Army area were gradually concentrated in the Merano area and from there evacuated to Germany by hospital train.

		Using hitherto neglected sources from both occupiers and occupied, official documents, propaganda, memoirs, and novels, he reveals how German views of the East changed during total war, and how these views affected the return of German armies under the Nazis.
		War Land on the Eastern Front is a study of a hidden legacy of World War I: the experience of German soldiers on the Eastern front and the long-term effects of their encounter with Eastern Europe.
		The concept of German Kultur as a driving force intrigues me. Until recently, most military histories did not discuss the mindsets of the average soldier, instead focusing on the leaders.
