This was a major battle fought in East Prussia between the invading Russian army and Germany from 17 August 1914 - 2 September 1914. It was arugably the most spectacular and clearcut German victory of World War 1. However, the Germans had not expected Russia to attack so early and theymoved troops eastwards from the Western Front, which may have played a part in the failure of the Schlieffen Plan. It was at Tannenberg that Hindenburg and Ludendorff first became known to the wider German public, though most of the planning was done by Colonel Max Hoffmann. Hindenburgbecame the 'myth of Tannenberg'.
