Battle of Leipzig in 1 minute using Google Earth

[@runedova126]

FUN FACT. In this video if you look closely when the French are retreating you can see a little explosion near a bridge that the French were using to escape. In real life a French marshal gave the job of blowing up the Bridge so the army could escape to a recruit who ended up blowing the bridge too early. Resulting in a large number of French casualties as the French then had to swim across the river to escape. Many French soldiers drowned and many simply surrendered rather than trying to cross.

French troops lost about 38,000 killed or wounded and 35,000 captured because the bridge of retreat was blown up too early. Allied troops lost 54,000 killed or wounded, despite having about 170,000 more men than the French. Leipzig is probably the biggest battle in History (in opposition to "battles" which were rather campaigns that lasted for weeks or months), is the most important defeat on the battlefield ever suffered by Napoléon (not Waterloo) and led to the invasion of France and the downfall of the French Empire (not Waterloo).

0:10 Here we see a huge cavalry charge made by Murat, there was approximately 10,000 cavalrymen from France, the Duchy of Warsaw, the Confederation of the Rhine and many more. They were supported by the Young Guard, the large cavalry force crashed into the Russian ranks and routed a lot of the Russian divisions in the Russian II Corps. Some cavalrymen almost reaching where the Coalition Monarchs are staying at. The cavalry assault fell back when fresh Austrian and Russian guard cavalry came to beat them back and they were saved by the French Guard Dragoons And thus another opportunity to change the tides was lost.

Bernadotte was first into Leipzig itself. The other three sovereigns found Carl Johan in the town square, the Allied rally-point, amiably chatting with the King of Saxony, having had the pleasure of telling him that the Saxon Army accepted his invitation to join their former commander and fight on the side of a free Germany. One of the few instances in modern history where an entire army switched sides because someone asked them very nicely. And so the rendezvous set at Trachenberg was met. All rejoiced! Accept the Bavarians who foolishly thought they could defeat Napoleon on their own as he marched to the Rhine. Napoleon smashed them and remarked about the Bavarian commander: "I made him a count, but I couldn't make him a general." Despite the historic defeat at Leipzig, the French Emperor still had a full arsenal of wicked burns.

[@robowisanveithasung6022]

the Saxon troops were deeply disillusioned with Napoleon and the war in general, as the fighting raged on their homeland. they literally could not mentally bare with fighting alongside Napoleon so all of them defected. except for the loyal King August the I who was captured by Coalition troops.

[@robowisanveithasung6022]

@@glocksmith226 that's how Napoleon's personality was, he was very determined and focused on something once he had it in mind so, what does this have to do with my comment?

[@crownprincesebastianjohano7069]

@@glocksmith226 You make a good point. His problem goes all the way back to 1804, 1805, 1806 when he couldn't decide what to do about Prussia. Prussia was the perfect ally for Napoleonic France because it is the buffer against Russia and sworn enemy of implacable Austria. It is strong enough to be a good number two, but not strong enough to seriously threaten France. But, he mishandled that one and as a result France had no natural allies amongst the great powers. Just marriages of convenience (literally in Austrias case). His true-blue allies were of little use. The Danes by 1813 were a net loss for the French once their fleet was destroyed in 1807. And, when Bernadotte became Crown Prince Sweden became a completely different animal than what it had been under Gustav IV Adolf. After Leipzig, Bernadotte crushed the Danes in only 10 days fighting with only a fraction of his Army of the North using only his Swedes and a Russian division. But you are right, the problem for Napoleon is that the more the Coalitions challenged him the more he needed to extract from his Allies, and that put the relationship on a shaky basis. So when things went sour in 1812, all of them, save Denmark, Saxony and Bavaria were looking to jump ship. By October 1813, Bavaria was looking for a way out as the Battle of Dennewitz, where Bernadotte beat Ney badly, and stopped the last French attempt to knock Prussia out of the War, demonstrated to them Napoleon could no longer win and the Bavarian King wished to keep his royal crown. Of course, this does not touch on how Napoleon's high-handed treatment of Sweden drove them into the enemy camp. Napoleon after 1809 started making a lot of little mistakes, and began thinking he was invincible. Those little mistakes came home to roost in 1813.

[@crownprincesebastianjohano7069]

@@robowisanveithasung6022 This is all true. But, also, Bernadotte was a great propagandist and had learned this trade as Minister of War of France in 1799. Not only did Bernadotte have the close relationship with the Saxon troops from his time as commander of IX Corps in 1809, but he had, through-out the summer, engaged in a propaganda campaign in Germany, aimed at stirring up nationalist sentiments. He specifically targeted the Saxons. In September 1813, the King of Saxony even had to write a memo to Napoleon proclaiming the loyalty of his troops because his officers were openly toasting the Crown Prince of Sweden and there was every indication that they might desert. Bernadotte also sent messages to the King of Saxony to switch sides, but in the end the King remained loyal. But, his Army, and the Bavarians, did finally switch sides. Like the Saxons, Bernadotte had a long relationship with the Bavarian Army, having commanded it in 1805, and its king. And corresponded with them for months in 1813. When Bernadotte won the Battle of Dennewitz, that was the last straw for the Bavarians and from there they knew Napoleon could not win. While events ultimately forced Bavaria to switch sides, like the Saxon Army, Bernadotte played midwife and paved the way.

[@apollomars1678]

at 0:09 you see the trap of Napoleon to crush the Russian army in the center, thereby isolating the austrian and prussian army. the crushing moment was the cavalry charge, that nearly hit the HQ of the enemy armies, but the Austrian reserves were able to answer the call of help from Russia and stabilize the attack. the Morning attack from Austria on the French position, explicit the attack of the Austrian troops around 10:00 in the area of 0:07 on the right flank were similar close to the french HQ and were stoped by Napoleon around 11:30 with his Cavalry, that had their attack at 14:30 The rapid morning attack of the allied coalition has probably saved the whole battle for their side, because it strained the ability of Napoleon to use his momentum to crsuh the coalition prior to the whole use of their forces of 300.000 men against his 180.000 army

Ironically he was the first to enter Leipzig because he had fresh troops and a 200 cannon Grand Battery set up and stormed the city gates. The Austrians were not pleased to see him and his Swedes, along with his Russian troops, already in the town square, chatting it up with the King of Saxony and the captured French generals.

Bernadotte also played a role in the defection of the Bavarians the two weeks prior. He had cultivated friendly, personal relationships with both the King of Bavaria and Saxony.

We wanted to dismantle Germany, and the next episode showed how true we were. That was an enormous diplomatic mistake while we could crush Germany on our own by 1918.

Вот как Россия в "одиночку" победила Наполеона. Россия это часть Европы, СССР тоже не в одиночку Гитлера победил.

[@РоманЕгоров-р7й]

Согласен

[@sanssucreajoute6554]

Russia did nothing

[@t9p833]

Действительно, это же не в России Наполеон потерял свою армию, после чего европейские державы решили что стоит тоже к дальнейшей победе присосаться🤔

[@xilathalf]

@@t9p833 Это не значит победить в войне, это значит победить на этапе войны. Париж штурмовали не в одиночку, и ты не думаешь что в Париже у него уже была новая армия?

[@t9p833]

@@xilathalf этот новый этап войны стал доступен только благодаря русской компании 🙃 Конечно была новая армия, но явно не настолько профессиональная как предыдущая, прошедшая по всей Европе и закаленная в боях)) Почему такое сильное занижение вклада России в мировые войны? 🤔

Imo. Strategically Borodino was the most important defeat suffered by Napoleon, despite the fact that Napoleon won the battle and captured Moscow

[@TestTest-dd4qb]

No, the war in Russia was lost from the start. Even if it was perfectly executed (wich it wasn't) it had no real final goal

[@Spiderfisch]

The thing is the battle didnt change much his campaign was doomed anyways only if he lost he would lose quicker

[@arch357]

capturing moscow wasnt really a big deal, the city was in ruins because of the criminals and there were no resources around because of scorched earth tacktiks

true,he should have stayed in smolensk during winter instead of pushing for capturing moscow

[@georgiishmakov9588]

why did they let them run away? Sounds like encircling the entire French army and starving them out over time and making them all surrender would have been preferable.

[@choysakanto6792]

Napoleon would have been captured and his whole army turned prisoner if only the Coalition found out the previous night before the day he retreated that he was indeed withdrawing under the cover of darkness despite CLEAR evidences from scouts that there were massive French withdrawals and the Coalition leaders simply took it as either repositioning or shortening of the battle line

[@georgiishmakov9588]

@@choysakanto6792 I mean, looking at the bigger picture, it does appear as if the French were almost completely surrounded. To an admittedly very much a modern person like me, who is not aware of the likely issues the Coalition would have with regards to communications and logistics, it seems best to not even fight the battle but instead to try and encircle the enemy.

[@christopheripoll2580]

@@georgiishmakov9588 Not that esay, due to the river, the night and the communication means of that time. Plus, you underestimate the ability of the French army, which resisted all day long to a twice larger army, and even inflincting heavy losses to the coalition : the coalition lost 90 000 men against only 70 000 for the outnumbered and surrounded French army. And you consider the French army as a static force but with more cavalry, the French army could have secured a breach and turned this battle into a victory, even 1v2.
