Talk:Hermann von François
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Von Francoise is not the only military pro that disobayed the German high command. There was also a colonel Hoffmann who was the first to see a telegram that was received at Hindenburg/Lutendorf's H.Q from the German supreme command, ordering to retreat and not to confront Samsonov and Rennenkamph. Reading the battle ground better than the two elderly generals , he hid the dispach and the next day's battle was won by the German armee . This battle was called the Tanenberg Allenstein battle.
