		Hermann von Francois (January 31, 1856 – May 15, 1933) was a German general in World War I, best known for his key role in several German victories on the Eastern Front in 1914.
		Francois felt breaking off while engaged would be deadly, and so he ignored Prittwitz' order, responding with the famous reply "General von Francois will withdraw when he has defeated the Russians!" He counterattacked Rennenkampf's massive army, bringing on the Battle of Stalluponen, and won a surprising victory while infliciting 5,000 casualties and taking 3,000 prisoners.
		When Hindenburg and Ludendorff prepared their counter attack from Thorn in the direction of Lodz, von Francois was reluctant to send the requested I Corps, sending badly trained and ill-equipped XXV Reserve Corps instead.

		Deeply fearful that the Eighth Army would be encircled, von Prittwitz, who owed his command more to his courtly connections than to his military skills (he was also the cousin of von Hindenburg's wife), completely lost his nerve and issued orders for an immediate retreat to the Vistula.
