General Survey Of The War In Poland And Europe
A period of minor engagements precedes a German push toward Warsaw as General von Hindenburg’s forces capture Lodz and threaten the Polish capital. Rumors say Warsaw is within forty miles. Cracow’s fate could affect Silesia and the broader campaign. Reports from Berlin note French attacks in Flanders, while Roumania may join the Allies. French losses near 690 thousand with 400 thousand wounded by mid November, and 90 thousand French prisoners held in Germany. German casualties exceed 100 thousand along the frontier.
