Description: Tannenberg by Dennis E. Showalter The battle of Tannenberg (August 27–30, 1914) opened World War I with a decisive German victory over Russia—indeed the Kaisers only clear-cut victory in a non-attritional battle during four years of war. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The Battle of Tannenberg (27-30 August, 1914) opened World War One with a decisive German victory over Russia - indeed, the Kaisers only clearcut victory in a non-attritional battle during all four years of war. In this first paperback edition of the classic work, eminent military historian Dennis Showater analyses the battles causes, effects and implications for subsequent German military policy. He destroys many myths, such as the supposed superiority of the German military commanders. The battles mystique later served the Weimar Republic and Third Reich propagandists. For years the legend of Tannenberg helped to shape German nationalist ideology and military policy. As a result, in 1941, Hitlers Wehrmacht grossly underestimated Soviet military capability, leading to disaster in World War Two.
