Echoes of a Russian Betrayal at the Vistula Bend
A translated wartime piece credits General Rennenkampf with foiling Ludendorff’s 1914 aim to crush Russian forces at the Vistula bend. It details bold maneuvers, massive troop shifts, and credited Russian persistence under pressure, with notes from Gen. Erich Lundendorfer on strategic debates and reinforcements, plus the eventual Russian countermeasures and delays in relief.
