Tannenberg 1914: How Hindenburg Destroyed An Entire Russian Army Legends Netflix [uN8hZmxwAkM]

In August 1914, Russia's Second Army marched into East Prussia with 150,000 men. Within four days, it ceased to exist. The Battle of Tannenberg was not a defeat it was an annihilation. General Samsonov's army was encircled, destroyed, and erased from the Eastern Front before the war was three weeks old.

This WWI documentary follows the encirclement that shocked both sides tracing Hindenburg and Ludendorff's rapid redeployment, the radio intercepts that handed Germany the battle, the collapse of Samsonov's command, and the moment an entire army simply disappeared into the kaiser drive vaughan forests of East Prussia.

The Eastern Front would never recover from what happened here.
