Today in 1914, Germany outmaneuvers and outfights Imperial Russia at the Battle of Tannenberg. More than 100,000 of the Tsar’s troops are captured after four-days of fighting. The victory makes heroes of Hindenburg and Ludendorff; the Russian commander, Samsonov, kills himself. pic.twitter.com/P0yaN2mogb
