German Alpine Troops Break Romanian Route at Hermannstadt
German forces led by Falkenhayn executed a daring Alpine flank through the Fogaras mountains to seize Red Tower Pass north of Hermannstadt. The maneuver trapped Romanian retreating columns on the Alt valley road, with heavy machine gun fire and landslides destroying supply lines. The Associated Press notes a panicked Romanian breakout toward Kronstadt as Imperial troops pushed from the pass.
