Hindenburg Offensive

The chaos that engulfed Germany following Ludendorff's coup weakened both sides. While spartakists and freikorpses obviously knew what was coming, the all out war still caught them by surprise as they expected a swift take over. Because of that, the fierce resistance of the loyalists managed to cause enough chaos for them to be unable for take control without problems.   While Brandenburg fell into Ludendorff's hands quite early, he failed to reinforce his positions there. With many soldiers redirected to fight the forces of Kingdom of Poland and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the sudden offensive of loyalists forces from Prussia took him by surprise.   It was an improvised maneuver by Feldmarshall Hindenburg. Due to the utter collapse of the German army, most of his forces were Prussian volunteers or soldiers whose units were mostly broken apart. However, his enemy didn't expected that at all, and after three weeks of struggle Hindenburg's forces managed to recapture Berlin. However, with Ludendorff's forces reorganized, they didn't manage to go much farther, and soon a stalemate occured.
