In the rolling hills of Silesia, two great armies clashed in a battle that would determine the fate of a continent. The year was 1762, and the Seven Years' War had raged on for far too long. On one side stood the proud Prussian army, led by Frederick the Great, while on the other, the Austrian forces were commanded by Field Marshal Leopold von Daun. Burkersdorf would be Frederick the Great's final battle fought during the war.
The Battle of Burkersdorf was a turning point in the Seven Years' War, a moment of reckoning for two great powers locked in a struggle for supremacy. Its significance lay not just in the outcome, but in the very fact that it was fought at all.

I have spent a lot of time learning about him, it's always an interesting debate among people to see whether they consider him to be a good commander that got lucky or a legendary king. Der Alte Fritz, I think what distinguished him from many other famous great men of history is that he showed a sense of realism and humanity that is hard to find from someone like Napoleon. Some things I find to be outstanding in history is how he ackknowledges that going to war for him was just a bid for glory, how he did not much focus on dynasty, how he had the sense of realism to make peace and not keep overstretching his country beyond the breaking point and lastly how he wasn't below cooperating with enemies after a war was over. Looked at in detail he looses out to greater men in history in each respective field of discipline, whether it is about being a general, a composer or a ruler/statesman. Yet the combination of his outstanding performance in each of these categories on top of his relative modesty and approachability makes him special in my eyes. Truly a famous person of history.

A small side note. The Gardhusar Regiment in Denmark was established in 1762 just as the Russian Tsar wanted to take Holstein back and temporarily disbanded when he died. To this day, the regiment have horses and performs sermonial service for the royal household. Excellent lecture, always a pleasure.👍

@@andrewyoung8550 It's 0k. The US Army doesn't need supermen to handle the high tech long range weaponry used nowadays to destroy second rate conventional armies like the Iraqi or the Syrian or the Lybian or the scarce old planes and tanks manned by tribesmen at Afghanistan. The only think the US Army lacks is manpower to successfully occupy the conquered territories, as the regular army soldiers showed not up to the task. But don't blame them, because the problem was choosing wrong objectives. Why to occupy Iraq and Afghanistan so many years to achieve nothing? Sometimes I wonder why the Americans don't realise that war is or should be a state business and not a business for companies selling stuff to the army. The sooner the US citizenry understand this and act accordinly, the sooner the US Army will win again its wars. But nobody pays attention to president Eisenhower words about this. A pity.

Who would have thought that by stationing Russian Army (that already ordered to disengaged and retreat) just standing there watching while the Prussian attacked from the flank could work. It Shows you how Genius Frederick really was on the battlefield. Daun was good too in this one, had there were no direct cannon fire in front of his main garrison plus the huge but uncommitted Russian Army, he could have move those garrison to reinforce the flanks. in this situation, Frederick really forced Daun to play a 4D chess with him Edit: Now that i think about it, wasn't like during the battle of Torgau, Frederick attacked Daun in the rear, Daun reinforced it thus making his front a bit weaker then Frederick ordered his army to attack Daun from the front forcing him to retreat. Daun might think that during this battle, Frederick would do the same thing, that might be also the reason why his main army didn't reinforced the flank. Idk, just my theory

Daun could have had victory 10 times over by now, but he was such a scaredy cat. He just didnt have a shred of victory in him. Daun may have been the superior strategist, but had Laudon been given overall command, Austria would have won decisively at some point during the war.

@luitpoldwalterstorffer2446
@luitpoldwalterstorffer2446 Жыл бұрын
Not sure... any of them just should have attacked. Nor Laudon nor Daun were in command at Leuthen. Surely after Leuthen the Austrians just went for a more cautious approach and wear the Prussian ressources down. Surely they did not expect the Russians to switch sides. Also I do not think the Prussians could reproduce Leuthen easily. For the Prussians it was very lucky that they had used the field as a training ground shortly before the battle and therefore they knew every rock and every tree. I think what the Austrians did best was the layout how they dispatched their troops. At Leuthen they were just overconfident after a streak of victories and thought now they could easily finish the Prussians off by just going into battle with any formation (my impression). All the later battles their setup was much better considered and thought out - be it in offensive or defensive encounters. The Prussians always seem to have won when they could not have afforded to lose. And when they lost a really decisive encounter like the one at Kunersdorf their enemies due to stupid reasons (internal struggles and disunity I guess) just could not finish the Prussians off. On the other hand the Prussians with Frederick had a shining figure that gave his all into the cause knowing that he had no other chance and therefore he inspired his soldiers who also gave their souls. Finally I think it is fair to say that probably Frederick was and felt closer to the Prussian soldiers than Maria Theresia was to the Austrian soldiers. I think this fact cannot be underestimated and this motivational factor had a huge impact on the outcome - that Prussia withstood against all odds and survived as a factor of power in Europe.

That is a story in itself. Frederick had given instructions that he should be buried alongside his hounds at his modest Sanssouci palace in Potsdam and had had a vault constructed to that end. After his death that was considered undignified and he was instead interred in the family vault at the Potsdam Garrison Church, the traditional resting place of Hohenzollern rulers, where he was later visited by Napoleon, who said some nice things but still looted his sword. Towards the end of WWII the Hohenzollern coffins were evacuated to a salt mine in the Harz mountains to protect them from Allied bombing and the advancing Red Army, where they were discovered by occupying US forces and moved to Marburg in Hessen. At this point Frederick's body was again looted, this time of its iconic Pour le mérite decoration, probably by an enterprising American soldier. The Hohenzollern remains were later moved to the family seat in Bavaria, where they stayed. Until 1991 that is, when the government of the newly-reunited Germany finally interred Frederick with modest pomp & ceremony in his original vault underneath the terrace at Sans Souci. While visitors cannot view the tomb itself, you can see the grave-markers of Frederick's hounds, buried directly above it. Actually it is a very peaceful last resting place, in a nice park well away from the Berlin tourist trail.

But Daun was always so slow and ponderous, never wanting to disturb his immaculate lines of defense, so he just let himself be outflanked and defeated in detail. Daun was good strategist, bet he should have never held supreme command in the field, maybe he would have been better suited to manage Austria's logistics, or something like that.

@@frederickthegreat1352 Both Burkersdorf and Torgau resemble the Battle of Rivoli, except Daun reacted to Frederick's ambitious attacks by obediently defending his position and granting Frederick the initiative, while Napoleon reacted to his opponent's ambitious attacks by rapidly swinging his army back and forth to defeat the enemy columns in detail. Still, Daun's cautious defense is sensible, although not enough to secure victory, and overall in this war he performed better against Frederick than most contemporaries. After all, he gave Frederick a pounding at Kolín and Hochkirch. I would say that Daun's cautious, defensive approach was to necessary to shore up Austrian strength after the walking disaster that was Charles of Lorraine, who could neither defend nor attack. Daun may not have had the "killer instinct" that could win the war, as otherwise he would have taken either chance to pursue and destroy Frederick following Kolín or Hochkirch, but in his defense, for most of the war he was also working in the context of a coalition of major powers. Daun didn't need to force Austria to victory - he just needed to hold out, bloody Frederick now and again, and let the rest of the Coalition wear down Prussia, which was a sound strategy (until the deux ex machina). Laudon may have been a better fit to win Austria the war, but this would not have been necessary until Russia bailed. And at that point, arguably the situation had turned against Austria, with Frederick briefly receiving a windfall of Russian reinforcements (who were certainly qualitatively superior to their Austrian counterparts), although this did not last too long.

It's amazing how AI art can shape historical storytelling as time passes. It will eventually be capable of portraying battles and events.... hopefully by that time it will be able to make good hands lol

British subsidies were a major reason. Secondly, Frederick bled Saxony dry. The Habsburgs weren't at liberty to completely squeeze their territories, but Frederick occupied Saxony, knowing he wouldn't keep it. Both Silesia (the most profitable province of the Habsburg empire before Frederick conquered it) and Saxony footed the bill.
