Lets say the Germans use the 3 active corps of the 8th army (in East Prussia OTL August 1914) on the western front instead.

This leaves only the reserve corps, cavalry, fortress troops etc. in east prussia, the Germans are prepared to retreat to the Vistula fortress line (also holding the Koningsburg fortress area too).

Could the extra 3 corps be enough to win in the west in 1914 (assume you have to start transferring some back east by the end of September)?????
