	Battle of Tannenberg (1914) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The German theatre commander, General Maximilian von Prittwitz, was sacked when he attempted to completely abandon East Prussia to the Russians.
		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.
		General Erich Ludendorff, the chief of staff for the new theatre commander Field-Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, dated the official dispatch reporting the victory from the nearby village of Tannenberg (Stębark), and the battle is thus known to history by the latter name.

	Battle of Stalluponen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brought on by the aggressive tactics of General Hermann von Francois in defense of the German province of East Prussia, the battle was completely unexpected by both sides, along with its outcome.
		In mid-August, 1914, the Russian army began to execute an invasion of East Prussia at the outbreak of hostilities.
		On August 17, Francois brought on a general engagement with the advancing Russians in spite of orders from his theatre commander, General Maximilian von Prittwitz to withdraw if pressed.

	Hermann von Francois
		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.
		Although not trusted by the new German commanders Paul von Hindenburg and Erich Ludendorff due to his previous disobedience, Francois played the decisive role in the upcoming Battle of Tannenberg (1914).

	First World War.com - Who's Who - Maximilian von Prittwitz
		Maximilian von Prittwitz (1848-1929), who was born in Silesia, served as commander of the German Eighth Army at the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914, dispatched to East Prussia to defend against a likely Russian invasion as documented in Russia's war strategy, Plan 19.
		The order to withdraw effectively abandoned East Prussia to the Russians; before the order was executed he was recalled to Berlin by Helmuth von Moltke, the German Army Chief of Staff - essentially a dismissal.
		Moltke chose to replace the cautious Prittwitz with the decidedly more aggressive combination of Paul von Hindenburg, recalled from retirement, and Erich Ludendorff, who had latterly impressed in the siege of the Liege forts.

		Von Bethmann-Hollweg, however, at this interview after the thirty-first of January, said that he had been compelled to take up ruthless submarine war because it was evident that President Wilson could do nothing towards peace.
		Von Bethmann-Hollweg said that one of the principal reasons why Germany had determined upon a resumption of ruthless submarine warfare was because of this speech of the President to the American Senate.

		After the victory, the Eighth Army turned north and defeated Paul von Rennenkampf's First Army at the First Battle of the Masurian Lakes driving the Russians out of East Prussia for the remainder of the war.

		In our talk, von Gwinner said that Europeans envied America because we seemed to be able to assimilate all those people who, as soon as they landed on our shores, sought to forget their old race hatreds and endeavoured, as speedily as possible, to adopt American clothes, language and thought.

		In Operationsplan III, formulated between 1898 and 1906, Buchsel and Admiral Otto von Diederichs, in cooperation with Chief of the Army General Staff Alfred Graf von Schlieffen, anticipated a full naval advance across the Atlantic via the Azores and West Indies to attack New York or Boston.
		The new squadron chief, Vice Admiral Kurt von Prittwitz, submitted a revised plan to the kaiser for German attacks against individual cities and coastal shipping on the American west coast, which would have the additional value of causing panic and directing public attention away from the main operation planned for the Atlantic coast.
		Prittwitz assumed that American forces stationed on the Pacific coast in peacetime probably would be weak.
