Kolin 1757: Frederick the Great's first defeat
Simon Millar
Osprey's examination of the highly devastating battle of the Seven
Years' War (1756-1763). In May of 1757 Frederick the Great invaded
Bohemia, smashed an Austrian army outside Prague and bottled it up in
the city. The Empress Maria Theresa despatched Marshal Daun with 60,000
men to save the Empire's second city. Frederick had won a string of
victories over the Austrians and was convinced his men would always
triumph. Although outnumbered he attacked, but the Austrians were
waiting. His army was defeated and forced to withdraw. As his veterans
commented, 'they were not the same old Austrians at all'. Simon Millar
shows how Frederick's overconfidence proved his undoing at Kolin.
