Battle Of Freiburg, 1644, In The Thirty Years' War
By André Geraque KifferLength2h 44m
About this audiobook
The Thirty Years War from 1618 to 1648 is considered one of the most destructive wars in European history. It is estimated that between 4.5 and 8 million soldiers and civilians died as a direct result, while some areas of Germany suffered population declines of more than 50%, also from hunger and disease. The Battle of Freiburg took place on 3, 5 and 9 August 1644. The defeat at Rocroi put the Spaniards in Flanders on the defensive. This freed the French army from Champagne. Enghien (Condé) left Metz on 20 July and joined Turenne on 2 August at Breisach and Freiburg (100 km). Freiburg was a style of battle very different from any other of the period due to terrain, form of attack and duration of combat. In the battle simulation, I will try to correct the flaws presented in the historical analysis, testing improvements in the maneuvers. And then we will prove which maneuver will prevail, both being instructed with the best and maximum effort.
