Excerpt from Russia, the Psychology of a NationKulm. After the defeat of the Allies by Napoleon at Dr' idea in 1813, the French corps of Vandamme appeared in their rear. If it had succeeded in cutting the is of communications with Prague, the retreat of the Allies might have been turned into a rout. The First Division of the Russian Guard was ordered to stop Van 'lamme, and this it did at Kuhn on August 29, although it was outnumbered by three to one and lost almost half its men in killed and wounded. On the next day, Prussian and Austrian troops came up, and Vandamme surrendered with the remainder of his corps. The battle was the turning-point in the campaign of 1813. The King of Prussia granted the Iron Cross to all those who took part in this desperate struggle hence the Iron Cross was called the Kulm Cross by the Russians.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
