Battle of Lodz
The Battle of Lodz took place from 11th November to 6th December, 1914, between the German Ninth Army and the Russian First, Second and Fifth Armies. It was fought in appalling conditions.
The result was inconclusive, both sides having achieved their most important objectives. Following the battle the Russians retreated to a strong line protecting Warsaw, which had been the objective of the original German offensive. The Germans, for their part, halted the Russian counter-attack which had threatened the German homeland itself.
