Forward

This Blog was born from a wet day in Germany, looking at one of the many war memorials in that country and further investigation which led me to notice a lack of reference material with regards to the German Army in World War One.

My work on this project has been made easier by the World Wide Web, but with the information tools at my disposal it has been a constant battle to ensure that the correct information has been included.

This Blog is intended for reference, and will hopefully enable those with an interest in the German Army of World War One to look up with confidence the various units and organisations which contributed to the German war machine.

 The 11th Army was formed from the 14 new divisions created by the triangulation of the German Divisions in March 1915.

In May 1915 the Army was engaged in the Battle of Gorlice-Tarnow, together with the 4th Austro-Hungarian Army.  In September 1915 the Army was disbanded, with the HQ used to form Army Group Mackensen.

It was reformed at the end of September 1915 with the:

 III Army Corps
IV Reserve Corps
X Reserve Corps  

It was intended together with the 3rd Austro-Hungarian Army, and the 1st Bulgarian Army to be used to invade Serbia.

 By November 1915 the Army Group had defeated Serbia and was on the Greek border on the Solonika Front.  It remained on that front, but fell back into Germany by 7th December 1918.
