This video covers the battle in a micro-level, with the hopes of showing that the narrative thread of the battle illuminates Solz's larger theme about the collapse of the Russian feudal regime. It is rich with maps to show that Solz is a genuine artist in how he depicts the collapse of the Russian military position.

Although Britain did not declare war until August 4, 1914 Germany declared war on France on 1 August 1914. In this 100-year old #WW1 archive film footage, The German Emperor gives a speech on August 1, 1914, which his people are quite joyful about and are eager to volunteer. Germany mobilises almost 1 million troops and invades Belgium first before advancing towards France. However they were always fearful of fighting a war on 2-fronts. In actual fact as well as Russia, Italy was also on the allies side and did not give an inch to the Austro-Hungarian troops (Germany's stalwart ally) in Trento-Trieste.

Er war der erste industrielle Krieg, der sich auf die gesamte Bevölkerung auswirkte. Betrachtet man nur die ersten Monate des Krieges so zeichnet sich dort bereits der Ausgang ab. Dieser Film ist Teil meiner Facharbeit. Ich zeige dort die Fehler auf, die am Anfang des Krieges zum Stellungskrieg führten.

100 years ago the greatest catastrophe the world had ever known broke out. It's origins are complicated, more so than the outbreak of the Second World War. In many ways it seemed more like the Middle Ages than the 20th century. Europe was a very different place 100 years ago.....
Германское отступление из Польши. Август 1914 г. August 17, 1914 - Russia invades Germany, attacking into East Prussia, forcing the outnumbered Germans there to fall back. This marks the advent of the Eastern Front in Europe in which Russia will oppose Germany and Austria-Hungary. n August 19, Russian cavalry came into contact with a German infantry regiment outside Gumbinnen. Instead of withdrawing, the Russians dismounted and brought up their artillery to continue the fight, driving the Germans back. However, they suffered 400 casualties and after expending most of their ammunition were forced to retreat themselves. To the south, the German advance went well, but faltered once they came under Russian artillery fire, and the Russians were able to turn their flanks and force them to retre...

I fell in love at second sight
At the end of the night
I told you "You’re beautiful."
Yeah, I wanted to
Days are getting colder, felt the winter strangle the fall
Your birthday then Christmas, another year has come and gone
Then it was spring and I couldn’t wait to take you out dancing
The sickness, the darkness consumed my forsaken soul
Then it was June, but you weren’t around, I wanted to find you
You told me not to look so damn hard, but I did
Like you right from the start
Your baby teeth just chewing and gnawing my heart
Just wouldn’t let it go
I didn’t want you to
I shrugged off my armor, my weapons, and denounced my faith
I’m coming to get you, God be damned if he gets in my way
Cause if he does, I’ll cut him in thirds
I’ll cough up a prayer for him
My blood damns you Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost
Then I’ll wage war against anyone that dares to stop me from
I’ll find you, I'll rescue you from the light my love
Feel the heat of their blood on the side of my throat
I can’t get their taste off my tongue
I chewed through the bones, killed their kids, burned their homes
I felt their sharp soot in my lungs
But you told me "No," you left me because you just couldn’t love me.
But baby, its too late; they’re all dead. What the hell did I do?
What if you stayed? What if you did? What if you wanted to?
