Summer Campaign of 1915 - Continued.
EAST
The Galizien Sturm offensive is in full swing in the East. The Germans, under the command of General Paul von Hindenburg, have just stormed the Brest-Litovsk Fortress in Western Belarus. They now start their movement southward toward the Western Ukraine to outflank General Brussilov. Meanwhile, General August Mackensen’s attack on the Przemysl Fortress continues with the obvious objective of pushing on to the main Russian Army supply hub in Lemberg. If Operation Galizien Sturm fails, Brussilov will be able to put all his weight south into Hungary and Austria, and if it succeeds, the Central Powers might very well win the war in the East.
The desperate fight for the survival of Austria-Hungary continues in Budapest, with the Russian forces and the K.U.K. troops of General Svetozar Boroević fighting each other for every inch of soil in the Kobanya District. The final fight for the Dreher Antal Rt Brewery will decide the outcome of Budapest as the Russians and units like General Kornilov’s 48th Division prepare for the final assault.
In Lithuania, the Germans have switched to the defensive, while in Podolia and Moldavia, the two fighting armies of the Entente and the Central Powers fight head-to-head for the mastery of Southern Ukraine. In Iraq and the Sinai, the British push on with their twin offensive on Baghdad and Palestine, while another chapter in the Souchon-Kolchak naval rivalry is about to take place in the Black Sea.
WEST
The fight for France continues as the Germans and French forces desperately slug it out in Paris’ southern suburbs. The fight for the Caf�� de la Rotonde will continue to rage as German courier Adolf Hitler and French infantryman Philippe Cren try to survive in the maelstrom.
In Verdun, the new German Western Commander-in-Chief Kronzprinz Wilhelm launches his forces into the attack following the conquest of Fort Douaumont. The battle of Vaux is about to begin and with it, the struggle for the survival of the French forces in the area. The fortress city cannot fall because if it does, the Entente lines will be broken.
The naval war heats up in the Atlantic, with the Entente ships in hot pursuit of a full German battlecruiser squadron on the loose (Admiral von Hipper), while Maximilian von Spee returns to his three surviving battleships in Italy with a plan to crush Franco-British naval superiority in the Central Mediterranean. Finally, the Baltic is about to be set ablaze as newly-produced German dreadnought battleships sail to face the Russian fleet near St-Petersburg.
All through it, soldiers, airmen, officers, and sailors struggle for survival. Men like Dimitri Fedorov of the 16th Mosco Regiment, Oskar Dantz of the Infanterie-Regiment Graf Schwerin, or else fighter Armand Bonnier and Manfred von Richtofen, amongst others, fight with the desperation of men wanting to win and live.
This is the story of the Great War that might have been.
