editWould it be incorrect to claim Frederick the Great as the Prussian commander? Dr. Dan 02:13, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
In Microsom Norman Davies & Roger Moorhouse (Pimlico; New Edition 2003) write on page 206: [T]he armies met on the outskirts of Bresslau. Heaviliy outnumbered, the Prussians under the Duke of Braunschweig-Bevern lost a quarter of their number and were driven off. The city's garrison surrendered two days later.
Frederick II wasn't involved in this battle. However after the victory at Leuthen (December 5, 1757) he started to siege the Austrian garrison at Breslau and had success on December 21, 1757. - Deltongo 19:04, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Results - order of events
editI'm having some difficulty with the order of events in the the "Results" section, specifically the passage below:
"Frederick had been marching west to help his British allies defend Hanover. Due to these events, Frederick was forced to completely change his campaign plans. Before reversing his course, though, he soundly defeated an allied force of French and Austrian troops at the Battle of Rossbach."
This implies that the Battle of Rossbach occurred after the Austrians took Breslau, when in fact it took place about 20 days earlier. Could this result from translation? In any case, it's confusing in the English version. Wendigo Lake (talk) 12:32, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
