By GEN. ERIC VON LUDENDORFF.
Nothing remained to be done on August 28,1014, but to give orders
for the First Army Corps to occupy Neidenburg. In the meantime the
corps had already made a turning movement in that direction. (This
army had broken through the Russian lines from the west the day
before and advanced more than'fifteen miles. Neidenburg was the prin
. cipel base of the large Russian forces operating around Allenstein, \
thirty miles to the north.)
The Twentieth Army Corps was to carry out the attack which had
been sized for the 2Tth and more especially to push forward the Forty
first Infantry Division. (The Twenti€th had been held up the day
before in an attempt to progress om the right of the First Corps around
Tannenberg, fifteen miles west of Neidenburg.) Von der Goltz's Land
wehr Division was to attack Hohenstein (on the left of the Twentieth
Corps.) :
The First Reserve Corps and Seventeenth Army Corps (operating
against the eastern flank of the Russians) were moved up west, covered
against attack from Ortelsburg (twenty-eight miles southeast of Allen
stein) to positions on a line running from Allenstein to Passenheim.
(These two corps, taken from in front of Rennenkampf while he
held his huge army inactive forty miles away, had driven twenty miles
on the right flank of Samsonoff’s army, and Samsonoff's force, number
ing up to 250,000 men, was caught im a circular trap of about twenty
five miles circumferance with only a narrow outlet to the south, in '
which German cavalry were operating.) &
Barly on the 28th we went to
Frogenau (less than 3 miles behind
the battlie line at Tannenberg) and
established ourselves in the open
at the eastern end of the village.
A very ineffective field telephone
connected us with the First A, C.
7 (I_B miles away), but no commu
nication at all was possible with
the other forceg.
Our first impressions were by no
means favorable. Neidenburg had
certainly Been taken, but the For
ty-first Infantry Division had at
tacked Waplitz (8 miles east of
Tannenberg) in a fog and been
driven back. This division, which
had suffered heavy casualties, wagq
now holding positions wust of Wap
litz and aunticipating a hostile coun
ter attack with the greatest anx
iety. I sent an officer there by
car to give me a report on the con
dition of the division and his ac
count was -not encouraging. The
landwehr near Muhlen (5 miles
west of Waplitz) were not making
progregs.
« If the enemy attacked the right
wing of the Twentieth A. C. in
great force, a grave crisis might re
sult, and, at the hLest, the battle
would be prolonged. Now there
was Rennenkampf's chance to in
tervene. But the enemy made no
attack on the Forty-first Infantry
Division and the Nieman army did
not advance.
Captain Bartenwerffer of the
staff of the Seventeenth A. C. flew
over the enemy lines and brought
good reports of the progress of his
corpe in the enemy's rear.
PANIC SPREADS FAR.
During the afternoon the situa
tion changed to our advantage. The
Third Reirve Divigion, and later
the Thirty-seventh Infantry Divi
sion, too, won ground west of Ho
henstein; Von der Goltz’s landwehr
division entered Hohenstein itself.
The enemy front appeared to he
wavering. General von Hinden
burg wanted to go straight on to
Muhlen.
We ran reight into a momentary
panic, created by Russian prisoners
who were being taken to the rear
in large numbers. This incident
created an unfavorable impression,
as the disorder spread far to the
rear.
In the evening we went to Os
terode (18 miles north of Tannen
berg). Owing to an unrortunate
mobilization order, the civil author
ities had already left the town.
This must have considerably in
creased the anxlety of the civil
. population. 3
We were not at all clear as to
how things stood with the indi
vidual units; but there was no
doubt that the battle was won.
Whether or not it would prove a
real Cannae was uncertain. The
First A. C. had orders to send a
force to Willenberg, whither the
Seventeenth A. C. was also to pro
ceed. Thereat of the Russians
was to be c?t of?.
(This movement meant a junction
of the west and east attacking
forces east of Neidenburg across
the only gap left open to the Rus
sians.)
During the night we learned fur- '
ther details. The Russian Thir
teenth Corpg had aavanced from
Allenstein on Hohenstein, and had
pressed the landwehr severely. The
First R. C. had come down south
west of Allenstein—its further ad
vance would close the ring around
the Russian Thirteenth Corps and
thus conclude the whole operation,
whilst the First and Seventeenth
A. C.)s cut off tne retreat of the
othr divisions. .
HAD TO UNTANGLE TROOPS.
On the mornin%of the 29th I de
cided to go to Hohenstein to try
and disentangle the congestion
caused by the troops getting mixed
up. Operations against Rennen
kampf's army had to be initiated,
whether he advanced or stood
where he was.
Still another incident occurred
before we were certain of victory.
Early on the 29th we received a
message by airplane that a hostile

army corps was marching on Nei
denburg from the south, and was
nearing the town. It was there
fore coming up in the rear of the
First A, C., which, with its front
facing north, was fighting the re
treating Russians. Almost at the
same moment we were called up
from Neidenburg and informed that
hostile shrapnel was falling on the
town.
Then we were cut off. All avail
able troops were set marching in
the direction of Neidenburg to sup
port the First A. C. in the engage
ment we anticipated. But General
von Francois had saved himself
already by his own energy, and the
enemy displayed more hesitation
than the situation justified.
After fiving these orders, 1 set
out for Hohenstein, and on the way
went over the battlefield, which
made a deep impression on me.
KEast of Hohenstein our own col
umns were getting entangled with
masses of Russian pr'oners. and
it*was no easy task to restore or
der. The Firgt R. C. and the Twen
tieth A. C. were assembled along
the road from Allenstein to Hohen
stein and the, army command had
thus again at least two corps at
its disposal.
RUSSIANS PRESS ON.
The battle was drawing to a con
clision. The Third Reserve Divi
sion had broken through the enemy
lines and reached Muschaken, east
of Neidenburg., The Russians, re
tiring through the thick woods,
tried to break through the German
ring at several points. At Muscha
ken, in particular, very heavy
fighting took place on the 30th, but
without in any way infiuencing the
issue of the battle.
" General Samsonoff shot himself
and was buried near Willenberg
without ' bheing recognized. His
widow, who was in Germany in
connection with matters concerning
Erlsoners of war, was able to trace
is grave by a locket which had
been taken for identification pur
poses from the body of the fallen
general when he was buried.
The Russian generals who were
taken prisoner arrived at Osterode
and reported to General von Hin
denburg.
The number of prisoners taken
and the amount of booty captured
are alreadly well known. :
The enemy losses in killed and
wounded too, were extremely
heavy. The widely circulated re
port that thousands of Russians
were driven into the marshes and
there perished is a myth; no marsh
was to be found’;nywhen near.
NAMED IT FOR BATTLE.
One of the most brilliant battles
in the history of the world had
been fought. It had been the
achievement of troops which had
been fighting for weeks, sometimes
unsuccessfully. To the training of
our army in peace time, alone, did
we owe this feat. The battle was a
glorious triumph for tRe generals
and their troops, indeed, for every
officer and man, and the whole
country.
Germany and Austria—Hungary
rejoiced—the world was silent,
At my suggestion, the battle was
named the Battle of Tannenberg, m
in memory of that other battle long
ago in which the Teutonic Knights
defeated the united Lithuanian
and Polish hosts. Is any German
as then, ever going to let the Lett,
and more especially the Pole, take
advahtage of our misfortune to do
us violence? Are centuries of old
German culture tv be lost?
1 could not rejoice whole-hearted
ly at our mighty victory, for the
strain imposed on my nerves by the
uncertainty about Rennenkampf’s
army’ had been too great. All the
same, we were proud of this battle.
The victory had been brought about
by a break through, an encircling
movement, firm resolution to win
and intelligent limitations of arms.
Despite our inferiority on the east
ern front, we had succeeded in as
sembling on the battlefield a force
nearly as strong as that of the foe.
1 thought of Gen. Count von Schlief
fen, and thanked him for his teacn
ing.
In the Protestant Church at Al
lenstein General von Hindenburg
and I rendered thanks to Almighty
God for this victory.
PROUD OF IRON CROSS.
1 was decorated with the iron
cross, second class, of which I was
exceedingly proud. Even now, when
I think of Liege and Tannenberg,
my heart swells with pardonable
satisfaction. The value of the iron
cross, sécond class, dwindled in the
course of the war. That is quite
natural, although regrettable, But
the order should be worn with pride
by any one who has honorably
won it,
1 had not a moment to spare for
relaxation. I had to work out the
regrouping of the army for further
operations. It was an uncommonly
difficult task simultaneously to
finish one battle and make plans
for the next. Innumerable other
matters had to be attended to be
tween whiles. One urgent matter
was the removal of the prisoners.
Having regard to the uncertainty
of the situation their numbers alone
was a heavy burden.
On the western front the victori
ous progress of the German arms
was still unchecked. Accordingly,
general headquarters considered
that they could reinforce the Eighth
Army with three army corps from
the west. The telegram announcing
the proposed reinforcements ar
rived just at the commencement of

“Now was Rennenkampf's chance
to intervene. But the Nieman army
did not advance.”
Ludendorff thus completes his
revelation of one of the greatest
acts of treachery of all the ages.
Rennenkampf, “star agent” of the
czarina and her German cabal at
Petrograd, had succeeded in hold
ing in leash for three days a great
Russian army, within sound of the
cannon, while another Russian
army was surrounded and annihi
lated. Rennenkampf lived to carry
his treacherous designs to the end
while Samsonoff, who had been
conducting a brilllant march ‘to
ward Berlin, until betrayed, com
mitted suicide on the battlefield.
Ninety thousand prisoners taken
by the Germans and a few strag
glers who broke through the iron
ring forged by Ludendorff were all
that were left of a host of more
than 260,000 that had represented
the elite of the Rusgian armly. .
Ludendorff makes plain just how
the idleness off Rennenkampf's
army brought this great disaster
for the allied cause—a disaster
which saved Germany from im
minent peril and gave her time to
collect her forces for new. efforts
after the defeat of the Marne.
It will be recalled that Rennen

was asked whether one army corps
could be retained in the west, and
as I had not asked for reinforce

and the Eighth “avalry Division.
F#RFUL ERROR IN FRANCE.
e decision to weaken the ferces
on the western front was prema
ture, but, of course, we in the east
could not know that, for the reports
from the west weer favorable. But
,fi_wu plrticular:{ fateful that the
inforcements destined for the
eastern front were drawn from the
right wing, which was fighting for
a decision, instead of from the left
wing, which was stronger than was
necessary after the battle in Lor
raine had been fought. The corps
which was to have been the third
~ for the®eastern front was left in
~ Lorraine.
| (It was the crown prince’s army
\ which he says was left too strong
| at the expense of the armies which
~ were later defeated at the battle of
-the Marne. The battle of Lorraine
was the vain attempt to take Nan
ey, which was watched by the
~ kaiser, all prepared to enter the
~ e¢ity in triumph.)
| The situation in Galicia had al
- ready become threatening. The
Russian main forces had hurled
~ themselves on the Austro-Hunga
~rian armies and beaten them east of
Lemburg at the end of August.
The critical condition of the Aus
~ tro-Hungarign army at the end of
August, opposed by greatly superior
- Russian forces, was not to be mis
understood. Tneral von Conrad,
chief of the Austrian general staff, |
insisted, quite properly, from his
point of view, that we should cross }
the river Narew.
But seeing that the Eighth Army |
- was still inferior in numbers tog
that of Genera] Rennenkampf, it |
~ was impossible to accede to this re
| quest. An advance in the direction |
of Mlawa-Pultusk could at any time |
be stopped by the advance of Gen- |
eral Rennenkampf. There was,
therefore, no alternative but to deal
first with the Russign Niemen
army.

kampf, after defeating the Ger
mans at the eastern end of East
Prussia, had pressed forward with
his 400,000 men, until he had turned
the line of the Mazurian lakes.
Only forty miles away was the
right wing of Samsonoff's army,
which was turnlng the other end of
the lakes and fast sweeping to
ward the Vistula and Berlin. Sam
sonoff had no rehson to fear for
this flank. Rennenkampf's divi

close by to guard him. But Luden

behind the German lines,
All the timg Rennenkampf was

U-BOAT RESTRIGTIONS
By ALFRED VON TIRPITZ. 4
Grand Admiral of the German ‘
Nevy.
Charleville,« April 18, 1915.
T is rumored here that England
will show us some mercy. If
t)\{s is believed we shall rush
| into her arms despite all the ‘
~ flourish of trumpets and bragging.
~ Our small u-boats now shoot
down everything that comes in
their way. The Chancellor is tear
ing his hair because of it and is
doing his best to influenve the
| Emperor. Any liberties may be
~ taken with us, but our modesty and
~ good behavior when our very ex
istence is at stake causes the neu
‘ trals to doubt of our power to win,
| (Editor’'s Note.—~March 28 the
. British steamer Falaba was at
tacked and sunk by a sugmarine
with the loss of 111 lives, includ
ing one American; April 8 the
steamer Hipalyce, chartered by the
American Commission for Relief
in Belgium, was torpedoed by a
German submarine, 15 lives being
lost. These incidents greatly in
flamed the English and American
public against Germany.) }
It is on the whole, very satis
factory that England’s abusing us
80 immoderately—a sign that
things are uncomfortable for them.
If only the new kind of U-boats
could be ready sooner, and show
effects before England consents to
peace negotiations.
Here the chancellor and his set
are against running round with
hair on end because a little U-boat
sank a Dutch ship.
Instead of making a proud and
resolute stand against unfriendly
“neutral” Holland we whine and
are already apologizing without
cause.
BETHMANN WANTED COUR- ‘
LAND.
Emanuelssegen, July 20, 1915,
(To my wlfe).—OY guards which
have been hard hit are now con
fronted by the Russian guards who
have been brought up from Pe
tersburg. From this it is thought
that the Russians are staking their
last. Falkenhayn has told Bach
mann that the Chancellor wants -
to annex Courland. England will
be delighted at this. If we do it
we will have run aground for the
next. century and run against the
Russians too. England will laugh
in her sleeve and we will retire
from Belgium. England will then
have attained her aim and we will |
be forced back to a purely contin
ental state, P
(Editor's Note~~Further indi
cations that Germany's war aims
were from the start the annexation
of territory. With her shaken
army, Germany began the new of
- fensive against Russia at this time,
; and succeeded in capturing suc
cessively Warsaw, Ivangorod,
Kovno, Brest-Litovek and Vilna.)
Kalkenhayn is entirely deaf to
the pleas from Turkey and the
Balkans, The entire set around the
Emperor are quietly dozing. The
Emperor himself gpends much .
of his time before a large map,
tilling it in. |
Emanuelssegen, July 24, 1915.—
Today we are expecting the Ameri
- can note. (Third Lusitania note).
In case it is harsh, Bethmann, Ja
gow and the others will say, “We
owe this to the navy.”,

Emanuelsseien, July 25, 1915.—
America is so Imprudently and
openly pro-British that it is hardly
creditible we will knuckle under.
Still T think anytHiny possible. A
remark in the note indicates that
we have already secretly prom
ised to restrict the U-boat war
fare. We are sliding on.
But now it becomes a case of
formal - acknowledgement before

Emanuelssegen, July 31, 19165.—
Accordingly to apparently reliable
reports, after the sending of our
note to America, Jagow went to an
* American official and implored him
to do his utmost to assure its fa
vorable reception.
Behncke writes beside ' himself
about the decreases in the use of
the U-boats in consequence of the
restrictions, That the U-boats act
only under these restrictions has

Emanuelssegen, Aug. 3, 1915.—
We have intercepted British wire
less messages which show that
they are putting armed parties on
neutral ships and shooting our
U-boats down. Tt cannot go on
long thus with our U-boats unless
the restrictions are removed. We
are planning new methods.
I cannot see any reason for our
men in the foreign office being
proud just now. We have yielded
far more than we should have and
in return have received more than
one slap in the face before the
whole world. %
This was much easier for the
Yankees, as doubtless they had al
ready heard from Jagow of the
restrictions put upon our U-boats.
Now the English know it, too, and
are jubilant. A prominent Amer
ican in Berlin told a journalist
that Germany's worst enemy was
her foreign office.
