The Duke of Marlborough, John Churchill, accomplished that during the campaign known as the Battle of Blenheim (early 1700s). His victories drove the French back to France, destroyed their military aspirations for a century.
Ancestor of Winston Churchill. One of those victories was in the Mosel River town of Trarbach. During my four years of living there, I never saw any acknowledgement of that battle. Little wonder...German town...British victory.
Hopefully I can return there before I get too old and feeble. The Mosel from Trier to Koblenz is an historically rich area, with a strong Roman influence that lasted 700+ years.
Thank You
I will look it up!
