Untitled edit
Shouldn't the "King Frederick" link point to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_II_of_Prussia? The link currently points to the biography of a similarly named monarch who reigned some 40 years after the events described.
yup.
Controversial statement edit
I retained "saved the day", but removed "Victory" as the outcome of the battle is disputed, and the Prussians retreated on the following day. Vitoldus44 17:57, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Promotion history edit
The box in the article says:
- Major General 20 June 1757
- Lieutenant General 5 November 1747
- Inspector General of Cavalry in Silesia 1763
Was he really promoted to Lt Gen a decade before being promoted to Maj Gen? The Rambling Man (talk) 06:29, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
- No. Should be 5 November 1757, as the article text says. On the field of the Battle of Rossbach.
