The encounter at Tannenberg went into history as a decisive historical battle. The actions of Erich Ludendorff indeed formed the highlight of a series of battles that prevented the tsarist army already advancing to Berlin in 1914. It was also the prelude to the enormous power Ludendorff accumulated later during the war and would turn out to be so disastrous for the German empire.
At the end of World War II, Germany launched three major offensives in Hungary to preserve the the Third Reich's control over the strategically vital oilfields of Nagykanizsa. Hitler was obsessed with this operation and transferred the 6th SS Panzer Army from other weakening German fronts to assist with the operation, an operation that optimistically planned to eventually capture oilfields in Romania. Tragically, the success of this operation helped the SS Commander of the region, Adolf Eichmann, finish his liquidation of the Hungarian Jewish community, the last remaining Jewish communit, the last remaining Jewish community in Europe.
