Volume 2 — ANOTHER NAIL IN HINDENBURG
Reading edition
(In 1915 a gigantic statue of wood was erected in Berlin to Hindenburg)
The problem implied in the second phase of the great Russian offensive of 1916 had been solved completely in favour of our Allies. The enemy had abandoned his entire front south of the Marshes, having lost in ten weeks' fighting (May, June, July) in prisoners alone well over 300,000 men. The total casualties suffered by him in that campaign almost equalled the original strength of his armies between the Pripet Marshes and the Carpathian Mountains.
