September 29-October 18, 1914
The Germans, under Hindenburg and Ludendorf, fresh from their victory at Tannenberg begin to move their armies south toward Warsaw in what they imagine as a mopping up effort to destroy what they could of Russian forces. But the Russians have plans of their own and reinforcements from the other end of the Russian empire are arriving to strengthening them. By October 18th, Ludendorf understands that he has to retreat or face disaster. In all the activity, 300 miles to the south, the Austrian Army, which has been trying to cooperate with the Germans is devastated by the Russians.
