About this book

In 1914, Tannenberg was not just the site of a German First World War victory shrouded in myth. The triumph bestowed legend status on above all General Hindenburg, which he ultimately bore right up to his presidency of the Weimar Republic and his fatal decision to appoint Hitler Reich Chancellor. This makes it all the more fascinating to scrutinize this momentous battle and the myths that took shape around it on the basis of the sources.

Reviews

"Insgesamt gelingt es John Zimmermann sehr gut, die mit der Schlacht verbundenen Mythen und Legenden zu dekonstruieren. Nicht zuletzt wird die Vorstellung von der Führbarkeit komplexer militärischer Operationen angesichts eines stets lückenhaften Lagebildes, allgegenwärtiger Friktion und eines eigenständig agierenden Gegners als Fiktion entlarvt." Christian Th. Müller in: Portal Militärgeschichte, https://www.portal-militaergeschichte.de/mueller_zu_zimmermann_tannenberg (12.05.2022).
