A fine little story. Real fun. Slobo 19:38, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

This "battle" is mentioned here too: [1]. I wonder if anyone can find a more reputable source that confirms its existence.

It is one of the battles that has a chapter in "The Brassey's Book of Military Blunders" -US- ISBN 157488252X (Paper cover book) Regan, Geoffrey /Publisher:Potomac Books Inc Published 2000/12 (see [2]) BlankVerse 10:01, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Another source

"The Hinges of Battle" ISBN: 0340819782 By: Durschmied, Erik /Publisher: Coronet. He says his main source is "Geschichte Josephs des Zweiten" By GROSS-HOFFINGER, A.J. first published in Germany in 1847.

[edit] My only question...

...when someone finally adds an infobox, how do you state the outcome? 68.39.174.238 20:20, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure this whole thing is either fiction or grossly misrepresented. It is completely unmentioned on the German wiki, and I can find very few German language references to it at all. Of the few I can find, at least two question the authenticity of the article. Somewhere in the middle of the development of this article someone also threw on the Allah Allah remark (presumably Aschlag! Anschlag! I guess?) but I can't find any reference to this at all. This is a funny story, but I'm pretty sure it's just that. Qalnor —Preceding comment was added at 19:38, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
