why did they let the French escape at the end rather than closing the opening and capturing or killing the trapped French?
Until the beginning of the twentieth century, the Battle of Leipzig was considered the largest battle in world history, with approximately 500,000 to 600,000 soldiers participating. Estimates suggest that between 80,000 and 126,000 soldiers from various nations were killed in the fighting. An impressive memorial commemorates this event. Best regards from near Leipzig 😉
In german it’s called the „Vielvölkerschlacht bei Leipzig“ , translated that’s the “ Battle of many nations“ because all of the armies of the different empires had dozens of different peoples and units within them.
I always thought that the turning point was when Napoleon returned from Russia without his 600,000-strong Grande Armée, without his old and new guards, without his experienced officers, without his veterans, and without his artillery and cavalry.
They ate ‚em😭
Ah In a typical swedish fashion they arrive late and from behind and gain the glory…
As we say in Dutch, „Leip, zeg.“
Wheres the part where they have to team up due to an outbreak of the Blight?
But in all seriousness this was the largest battle of the Napoleonic Wars and Napoleons biggest defeat. It was also I believe the first time rockets were used as artillery by a British detachment sent there. Unfortunately also some French officer blew up a bridge whilst French were still retreating killing many of the soldiers.
