This man is a fraud. If it wasn't for the fact the railways were full of troops being sent to II Army's left flank, he wouldn't have had the idea to send the two army corps South West, and Tannenburg would have been lost.
PRITTWITZ WAS FUCKING BETTER THAN HINDENBURG. HE WAS JUST UNLUCKY.
What would've happened if the Russians had won Tannenburg?

German VIII army would have been forced to retreat to the Vistula, and Hindenburg could well have gone the way of /BasedPritwittz/.

Oh, and by the way, the only reason he didn't lose was because of Russian incompetence.
>He unironically thinks a cavalry division and a few army corps holed up in fortresses is good enough insurance against Rennenkampf's nine and a half divisions.
Fucking shit-tier general.
Childhood is idolizing Hindenberg, adulthood is realizing Conrand makes more sense.

The war would have been over much sooner.
>Hindenburg and Ludendorff were shit
I thought this was widely known?
