A substantial contemporary German study of the Battle of Tannenberg and the opening phase of the Eastern Front in 1914, written in the interwar period and produced in collaboration/accord with official archival perspectives. The work analyses the structure and operating principles of the German army of 1914 and connects these directly to operational outcomes in East Prussia, making it particularly valuable for readers interested in command decisions, mobilisation, planning, and the practical mechanics of early-war manoeuvre and encirclement. Notably, the volume is supported by a dedicated map component (15 maps), enhancing its usefulness for campaign study and reference. An uncommon specialist hardback, well suited to collectors of German-language First World War material and researchers focused on Tannenberg and the 1914 campaigns.
