Paul von Hindenburg was a prominent German field marshal during World War I, most notably known for his leadership on the Eastern Front, particularly at the Battle of Tannenberg, where he achieved a decisive victory against the Russian forces, gaining him significant fame and becoming a national hero in Germany; he later served as the second president of the Weimar Republic after the war. Wikipedia
The events from February 7 to 15, 1915, refer to the Second Battle of the Masurian Lakes, a significant World War I battle on the Eastern Front between the German Empire and the Russian Empire. It took place in the Masurian Lakes region of East Prussia (now in modern-day Poland). This battle followed the earlier Battle of Tannenberg and First Battle of the Masurian Lakes, both in 1914, in which the Germans had already pushed the Russians out of much of East Prussia. ChatGPT
