The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- A series of follow-up battles led to the ousting of the Russian 1st Army from East Prussia.
- The outcome brought considerable prestige to the German army commander, General Paul von Hindenburg, and his rising staff officer, General Erich Ludendorff.
- Although the battle actually took place near Allenstein, Hindenburg named it after Tannenberg, 30 km to the west, in order to avenge the Teutonic Knights' defeat at the Battle of Grunwald 500 years earlier.
