The German success was brought to them by Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, along with his staff-officer Erich Ludendorff.
The battle got his suggested name to avenge the Teutonic Knights’ defeat, who fought the first Battle of Tannenberg 500 years prior. The Teutonic Knights were part of a Christian military order, who aided Christians on their pilgrimages on the way to the Holy Land, Jerusalem.
In-game event
Starting today until September 1st, you can play our latest campaign. All casualties in Frontlines & Maneuver game modes in Verdun and Tannenberg will be added to the total losses. The winning side will be whoever suffers the least amount of killed and wounded soldiers. Too many First World War battles essentially became meat grinders (or were even conceived as such from the start) and so it is for our campaigns.
