John Gilinsky Posted 2 June , 2012 Share Posted 2 June , 2012 Possibly EASTERN FRONT? Ivan [ aka John ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhetor Posted 4 June , 2012 Share Posted 4 June , 2012 Possibly EASTERN FRONT? Ivan [ aka John ] No the offensive took place on the Eastern Front of the First World War, but the offensive was conducted by the Western Front of the Russian Army. In Russian (and Soviet) armed forces army groups were called "Fronts". As far as ODBs are concerned, try Reichsarchiv: Der Weltkrieg, I'll try to find which volume is needed.

James A Pratt III Posted 6 June , 2012 Author Share Posted 6 June , 2012 I made a blunder I should have said Western Front of the Russian Army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James A Pratt III Posted 24 December , 2012 Author Share Posted 24 December , 2012 Thanks for the help Waldo. i searched the Haithi trust but they say no match found. This book does look interesting and I am interested in looking at it even though my german is really poor. Do you have the authors full name that might help.

waldo Posted 26 December , 2012 Share Posted 26 December , 2012 James, It is part of the "Schlachten" series. Maybe that's why it did not come up. Here's the link: http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015039472702#page/72/mode/1up Unfortunately, the maps at the end are still folded in the pocket. Maybe someone on the forum could copy the maps & post them to this thread. There is a Russian translation on the Web that has some maps (in Russian). Best, waldo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
