Would 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)
