Title: 1914 Tannenberg re-enacted
Post by: WallysWorld on July 31, 2014, 04:47:51 PM
SZKOTOWO, Poland – About 200 history enthusiasts from across Europe have gathered on a hilly area in Poland to reconstruct the Battle of Tannenberg, an engagement between the Russian and German Empires in the first days of World War I.

The reenactment was held Sunday, one day before the 100th anniversary of the start of the war. It was held on the site of the original battle, which a century ago was in eastern Prussia, but which now lies in northern Poland.

And that's why the Russians lost: they had to drag the big fat guy around! (Source: am a big fat guy).
