Ludendorff’s Poland Plan Blocked by Kaiser Falkenhayn
War Editor Eugene J. Young explains Ludendorff's 1915 Poland strategy was overruled by the Kaiser and Falkenhayn. The piece details how German and Austrian forces failed to outflank the Russians, leading to costly battles and a Russian retreat north of the Pripet marshes. It notes divided commands hindered coordination with Mackensen and Leopold, and Ludendorff’s bitterness over the episode.
