Takes Credit For Warsaw
The capture of Warsaw gave us
special satisfaction. We had fought
SO hard for it in the autumn Of 1914.
In that campaign were laid the found
ations of the present successes, of
which the occupation of Warsaw was
| the sign and symbol.
During the following days Field L
Marshal Prince Leopold of Bavaria
army group crossed the 'Vistula be-
tween Ivangorod and Warsaw on
wide front once again general head
quarters attempted to effect an en-
veloping movement by directing this
detachment straight on Brest-Litovsk
(rnore than 100 miles eastward),
whilst strong Russian forces were still
north of Lublin. But in vain; the
Russians got away Whilst Field Mar
| shall Mackense was struggling to-
ward Brest- Litovsk, Prince Leopold's
group was advanced to the Bug below
the fortress
| After the crossing of the Narew by
| the 18th army at the end Of July,
General Won Gallwitz had cast his
! eyes due south toward the Bug As
| had feared and General Won Gall
| WITT had also thought possible, these
| hopes were not fulfilled. Somewhere
about the 10th, the 18th army receiV~
| ed instructions to march east, with
| the right wing moving up the Bug.
| In this way it came into close touch
! with the Sth army, which, after the
| fall of Ostrolenka on August B, mad
/ gained more ground on the southern
1 bank of the Narew and was now adj
| vancing with Lomza as its objective
Great Fortress Cut Off.
| In the meantime Sieroc and Seger-
she had fallen, also Dombe: Novo
| Georgievsk had been cut off from all
sides The capture of this fortress
| was entrusted by the field marshal
| to General Won Beseler The troops
| of the 9th and 18TH armies investing
| Novo Georgievsk were placed under
his command. He also received
considerable number of the heaviest
| Austro- Hungarian howitzers
The plans for the capture of Novo
Georgievsk, the direction of the Sth
and 10th armies. the attack on Kovno
and the situation in Lithuania and
! Courland made further great de-
mands on myself and my staff. Al
| though we had not had the same free
hand in conducting the operations of
| the summer campaign of 1915 as IN
previous campaigns. but followed the
plans laid down by instructions OF
general headquarters. there still re-
| NAMED an enormous amount of work
for me to do, and the necessity OF
forming and executing number Of
decisions, both great and small.
Added to this there We're differ
ences of opinion with General Won
Falkenhayn, such as are only too IKE
ly to occur between men or lnde-
pendent views. but which made 1t
more than ever incumbent on me to
carry out most punctiliously the plans
of general headquarters, which were
opposed to mine, rather than my own
or those that conceded with mine.
