As one goes eastwards on that road from Niedenberg to Passenheim, in the triangle Niedenberg-Passenheim-Ortelsberg, the country gets worse and worse, and is a perfect labyrinth of marsh, wood, and swamp. The development of the action in such a ground was as follows: The Russian commander, Samsonoff, with his army running from Allenstein southwards, was facing towards the west.
From the town of Mlawa, just within Russian Poland, beyond the frontier, runs, coming up from Warsaw, a railway to Soldau, just upon the Prussian side of the frontier. At Soldau three railways converge one from the east, one going west to Niedenberg and the junction of Ortelsberg, a third coming in from the north-east and Eylau.
Within that quadrilateral is extremely bad country lakes, marshes, and swamps and the only good roads within it are those marked in single lines upon my sketch the road from Allenstein through Hohenstein to Niedenberg, and the road from Niedenberg to Passenheim.
