Logistics on the Eastern Front

[wiking85]

Does anyone have any books about this subject? There seem to be a few on the Western Front, but little to nothing on the Eastern one.

One of the pieces of information that I am currently looking for is the progression of Russian rail construction in Galicia in 1914-1915. IIRC an American reporter talking about the siege at Przemysl mentioned that the Russians had built rail lines around the fortified zone to support their offensive in the Carpathians. That was February again IIRC. Any ideas folks?

I could give you a few leads on German logistics, but Russian logistics would be a tough one. Possibly the A-H official history, Letzter Krieg?

There is some information on production, supply ect in the following books:

"Russia's first World War A Social and Economic History' Peter Gaterell

The Russian Army in WW I" N.N. Golvine

"The Eastern Front 1914-1917' Norman Stone

"The End of the Russian Imperial Army" Allan Wildman (2 parts)

I have read the above you should be able to find some information on this subject from their sources ect. There is also a book I found while surfing the net I don't know how good it is:

"Russian Supply Efforts in America During the First World War " Dale C Riehce

If you go down on this section to the posting on the Austro-hungarian army there you can find a posting which links you up with the "Effectiveness of Military institutions volume I WW I" Which is a little techincal but is interesting reading and deal with all the major combatants of WW I except Austria-hungary.
