⚔️ Battle of Leuthen, Silesia (Poland),
5 December 1757
The Battle of Leuthen, 5 December 1757, is one of the great battles of history, students of military history would consider it somewhat of a pilgrimage to visit this site. After defeating a Fench/Imperial Army of almost twice its size at the Battle of Rossbach a month earlier, Frederick’s Army had marched 275km in 12 days to confront the Austrian Army in Silesia. Frederick’s 33,000 troops faced Prince Charles of Lorraine and his 65,000 Austrian troops near the village of Leuthen.
