Battle of Tannenberg
In this episode we delve into the harrowing events of the Battle of Tannenberg, fought between August 26th and 30th, 1914-a decisive early conflict on the Eastern Front that reshaped the course of World War I.
Explore the bold maneuvers and critical missteps that led to the encirclement and destruction of General Samsonov's Russian Second Army. As the Russian forces advance into East Prussia, their disjointed strategy leaves them vulnerable to a devastating German counterattack. Led by Hindenburg and Ludendorff, the German 8th Army capitalizes on intercepted Russian communications, outmaneuvering and encircling Samsonov’s troops in a crushing defeat.
This episode captures the tension, the chaos, and the tragic consequences of the battle that not only shattered the Russian forces but also cemented the reputations of Hindenburg and Ludendorff as military leaders. We also touch on the aftermath of Tannenberg and its long-lasting impact on the Eastern Front.
Script Outline:
- Introduction: Set the stage for the battle, with maps and a brief overview of the early days of World War I.
- Battle Preparations: Introduce key military leaders and discuss the strategic context leading up to the battle.
- The Battle Unfolds: Follow the initial movements, the German response, and the climactic encirclement of the Russian Second Army.
- Battle of the Masurian Lakes, See how the Germans pushed the Russians out of their homeland.
Stay tuned until the end, where we briefly delve into the First Battle of the Masurian Lakes, which followed in the wake of Tannenberg, further altering the balance on the Eastern Front.

    Even during age of Qin ShiHuang... actually Zhao had the most potential to unify china because the have the invincible warrior Li Mu. The famous Wan Jian that defeated the mighty Chu, he lost to Li Mu decades earlier. So imagine if Li Mu go and bully neighbor weaker kingdoms a bit, to get more men and resources. Then he could go and wipe out Qin. Zhao king were too retarded to just play defense and eventually believe Li Mu that served their kingdom for decades would commit treason

    general leman was captured unconcious in fort Loncin which was hit in the ammunition storage by a big bertha shell destroying it completely. when the germans came over to take over the rubble they came under fire from a few of the survivors including a 1 armed belgian soldier, the fate of these men is unknown. after his capture, amputation of a few of his toes and regaining conciousness Leman expressively stated that it should be written down that he was only captured because he was unconcious at the time. I think he was also allowed to keep wearing his sabre during his captivity. after he came back to belgium he received a hero's welcome and got uplifted into nobility. he passed away in 1920

    Ok a method for “mitigating” radiation exposure to earth ecosystems with heavy lift fission propulsion discussed here, anybody want to take a crack at that?

    • @BuffMyRadius

      Project NERVA tested multiple nuclear thermal rockets in the open atmosphere. One of the problems they had was the casing of the fuel rods cracking, allowing the uranium to be introduced into the exhaust stream. In one test entire sections of broken fuel rods got thrown out of the engine. I suspect "mitigation" means something like "lets not chuck nuclear fuel out the back of our rocket again."

    Good video! I really liked your summary of the DRACO program and its context within the history of nuclear propulsion. As to my own feelings I think chemical propulsion is fine for robotic missions beyond the Moon but for crewed missions I think we should wait for nuclear propulsion before we start sending people beyond the Moon’s orbit. As you mentioned, there are so many advantages from shortening the trip. In fact, I read a study that said we will need to keep the lifetime exposure to deep space to under four years due to cancer risks. So, a single mission to Mars using chemical rockets would hit that limit.

So that knocks Darius out of contention 4 consideration 4 being one of the greatest commanders of all time. Just plain logic. As 4 Caesar, yes he is one of the greatest, but he was not #1. Rome began in the 8th Century B.C. So like Darius, the Roman Republic during Caesars time was also vast. So Caesar already had quite a bit 2 work with. But the clencher 4 me abt ATG being the greatest, is that Caesar studied ATG's tactics. So Caesar knew who the grand master was, and he learned FM him.
