“IN DIENER MACHT” The Battle of Zorndorf
After crossing the Mietzel river by pontoon Friedrich marched his army south to gain the Russian left flank. By marching around the flank the Prussian army faced south. Fermor had turned his army in place and had sufficient time to accomplish this. After a two hour artillery exchange, the Prussian infantry advanced towards the Russians in oblique order. As the battle raged, Friedrich was to find the Russians soldier a most formidable enemy.
