LUDENDORFF DRIVES ARMY FAR INTO RUSSIA BUT LACKS POWER TO FINISH
In a late July to autumn sequence, German forces under von Helew drive north from Poland toward Shavli, Riga, and Mitau aiming to envelop Russian troops. The campaign reveals a strong cavalry flank, disrupted Russian railways, and extended supply strains. Despite gains, the Niemen and Tenth armies falter as Russian reinforcements slow progress, leading to a halt and transfer to winter positions.

German Drive Near Riga Misses Final Encirclement
In 1915 during the summer campaign, Ludendorf launched a northward attack to outflank Russian forces near the Polish pocket. He reached Riga with a northern army, and cavalry crossed 100 miles behind retreating Russians, but insufficient forces prevented a complete trap. The German leadership vetoed larger plans, leaving the Grand Y position weakened and Russia pushed back from the border.
