Rossbach and Leuthen are included in the Great Battles of History.
Frederick made himself one of the Great Captains by these
victories. Prussian military prowess became legendary. But, the
Franco German army swept away at Rossbach, and the Austrian army
routed at Leuthen, were not only larger and had a fair share of
professional soldiers, but the Austrians had beaten the Prussians
not long before. So how were they so humiliated? What made
Frederick Great? For more than a century people believed it was
because the Prussians were just naturally suited for war. Until
1945 many Germans, and their foes, remembered how Frederick
miraculously saved Prussia against overwhelming odds, by marching
through the snow towards Leuthen church. As always it was not so
simple. The expert on 18th-century armies, Christopher Duffy, shows
why French, Austrian and Reichsarmee soldiers, though often enough
brave and skilful, marched to defeat, and how Frederick, often
unaware of the legend he was creating, won these famous battles.
But it is no longer left to myth, but to reliable accounts of hard
fighting, quick decisions, and the fate of the soldiers and
civilians swept up by the fighting.
