April 1915
Konigsberg has changed hands many times , both sides has spent the last 6 months pounding each other in and around the streets.There is not much left of the town,with the Russians hold the center and northen side of the town. We are down to eating the dead to survive and in bad need of ammo.

Being the capitol of the Kingdom of Prussia, the loss of the city had serious political repercussions, even a threat to the city, prompted the immediate transfer of 2 Garman army corps east, and eventually the failure of the 1914 German offensive in the west. Russian forces must be very ably commnaded to be still holding on the city! The Tsar gives General Samsonov the Ordre d' Merit and makes him a knight! von ege Big Grin

The Russians have thrown all they have at it,Serbia is not that happy at the lack of support.

General Rennenkamp is also made a Knight of the Tsar's Ordnung des Heilige Rosenkranz for his heroic defense of Russia's Baltic provinces! Unfortunately, the poor Serbs must suffer the consequences of a slight shift in priorities. von ege :smoke:

What news from the front???? von ege Big Grin


RE: The Great War 1914 -1918 - Antoni Chmielowski - 11-28-2007

The Western Front is now criscrossed byn trenches with the odd Central Powers attacks.

On the Eastern Front the battle for Koenigsberg is still firece, with the Central Powers fighting to retake the homeland from the Russians !.

Austria Hungary is taking on both the Italians and the Serbs !.

So the dastardly Italians did indeed stab their erstwile Austrian allies in the back! The Tyrol must be defended at all costs! Vorvarts nach Rom! von ege
