All was mercifully quiet on the eastern front for Russian
officers guarding the Carpathians, the mountains

capture by the Germans at Tannenberg, Czar Nicholas
II just ordered more serfs drafted - but firepower was:
1/3 of the men lacked guns. By the end of the war,
Russian's dead, wounded or captured exceeded nine
million troops.
