As befitted the director of such forces as he commanded, he had no permanent headquarters, but was first in one place, then in another. He had supervised the advance of the East Prussian divisions which, in the first days of the war, drove straight for Warsaw, only to be held up momentarily at Pultusk and Plonsk. These obstacles...
