A Schütte-Lanz airship over the Masurian Lakes in East Prussia, Germany. From a painting by Zeno Diemer. The Russian Second Army was destroyed in the Masurian Lakes during the Battle of Tannenburg. The Russian First Army escaped destruction, but suffered heavy casualties immediately after in First Battle of the Masuarian Lakes. The Russians returned to East Prussia, and were again defeated in the Second (Winter) Battle of the Masuarian Lakes in 1915.
The Schütte-Lanz was a competitor to the Zeppelin, and used a wooden rather than metal frame.
