Tootzen (Livland) isn't certainly the Tootsi in Estonia. It needs to check the placenames in nowadays Latvia.
[edit] Exagerrattion
Although Laudon was a brave and worthy general, it is incorrect to attribute the victory at Kunersdorf to him. In the middle of the battle Loudon and Rumyantsev led allied cavalry charge and repulsed Prussian curassiers in the center, but the battle was far from over. The counterattack by Loudon and Rumyantsev occurred BEFORE the massive cavalry attack by the entire Prussian cavalry under von Seydlitz. Besides, overall command was Saltykov’s, and Austrians (other than cavalry) were mostly in reserve. I’ll look up the references.Vitoldus44 18:04, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
