The Russian First Army is heavilly defeated & the Russian offensive is called off. The Battle of Lodz takes place from November 11 to December 6, 1914, near Lodz in Poland, fought between the German Ninth Army and the Russian First, Second, and 5th Armies, in appalling winter conditions
The Russians had repulsed the Germans and saved Warsaw, which had been the objective of the original German offensive, the Germans, for their part, had caused the Russians to abandon their offensive into Silesia. Russian withdrawal from East Prussia, and conduct at the Battle of Lodz in November 1914 led to Rennenkampfs dismissal amid recriminations of incompetence and even treason
