And the Prussians got their revenge at Waterloo in 1815.
The French aren't going to hold the Germans down for long.
“The French aren’t going to hold the Germans down for long.”
Remember, it took more than the Prussians . . . there were also the red squares of Wellington’s British, the Dutch, Russians and others.
Napoleon was not going to prevail in 1815, but the battle at a place called Waterloo was a near thing. Blucher was certainly welcomed by Wellington late in the afternoon.
Respectfully, Prussia redeemed the defeats and collapse of 1806 (Jena-Auerstadt) in the 1813 campaign, with victories at Dresden, Kulm and Leipzig (The Battle of Nations).
Napoleon was forced to abdicate and go into exile on Elba as a result.
The reforms of Scharnhorst and von Gneisenau enabled the Prussian Army to quickly regroup and resume the advance despite early defeats in the 1815 Waterloo Campaign, arriving in good order with reserves and ammunition on Napoleon’s right flank as the Old Guard broke against Wellington’s squares in time to seal Napoleon’s fate.
