Part 2 of 4. Battles at Tannenberg and in Galicia defined 1914 on the Russian Front. At Tannenberg —in the Masurian Lakes District—the Germans achieved a monumental victory by destroying an entire Russian army. Yet in Galicia, the Russians fared far better—seizing Lemberg (Lviv) and pushing the Austro-Hungarians almost completely out of the region. There, the Russians stood on the brink of entering the Carpathian Mountains and invading Hungary. “The Sky and the Earth Spit Iron”— a line written by Austro-Hungarian Army Kaiserjäger Lt. Joseph “Sepp” Engerisser—covers these events and how Berlin, Vienna, and Saint Petersburg set the stage for the next steps of the war.
