Herbstschlacht in Macedonien- Cernabogen 1916

Unter Benutzung der Amtlichen Quellen des Reichsarchivs, persönlicher Aufzeichnungen von Mitkämpfern und einer Darstellung des Majors Liebmann, s. 3. im Genst. der 11 Armee

Bearbeiter: Dr. Georg Struß Hilfsarchivar beim Reichsarchiv, Hauptmann a. D.

Nur wenige deutschen Truppen, einige schwere Batterien und eine Gebirgs-Maschinengewehr-Abteilung, stand das detsche Oberkommando der 11 Armee in dem so stark bedrohten Frontabtschnitt vor, als es in Monastir den Befehl übernahm. Um Wesrand der 20-30 km breiten fruchbaren Ebene liegt zu Füßen des gewaltigen, über 2500 m hohen Periferi-Massivs diese schöne Stadt, die im Frieden etwa 60 000 Einwohner zählt. In buntem Gemisch leben hier Bulgaren, Serben, Mazedonier, Türken, Griechen und Juden; ein Europäerviertel mit breiten, sogar gepfelasterten Straßen und gut gebauten Häusern gibt der Stadt teilweise einen anshenlichen Anstrich.

Only few German trupps were avalable to the German
High Command when it took over the 11 Army in the front line. Few Montan-Machine gun-divisions and some heavy batteries were available in such highly endangered front in Monastir. On the west some 20-30 km lays the fruitful valey under the 2500 m high perifery massiv of this beautiful city. During the peace time, in the city dwel about 60 000 eople. In colorful mix here live Bulgarians, Serbians, Macedonians, Turks, Greeks and Jews; There is also a European block with aslvalt streets ....

The rest, I will try to translate later. Maybe Dimko will do some too.

This is important information. Its great when the pages are scanned in their original language so that we can see the translation directly. Great work.

It's important since the Greeks claimed we have never been named as Macedonia before Tito, right... haha

that has to be the weakest greek argument i've ever heard. you think they'd have moved on from making themselves look like jackasses by now, but no.. some greek always seems to come along and bring up tito
