video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
In 1812 Napoleon invaded Russia with the largest army Europe had ever seen. As it advanced, the Russian army retreated, and by September Napoleon's army had marched 470 miles into the depths of Russia. 70 miles west of Moscow near the village of Borodino, the Russian army, under a new commander, General Kutuzov, finally made a stand. The battle that followed was the bloodiest day's fighting of the Napoleonic Wars, and proved one of the most infamous battles of history. Special thanks to Alexander Averyanov for kind permission to use his paintings 'Battle of Smolensk', 'Artilleryman's Exploits', 'Prince Pyotr Bagration at Borodino

Every year, on the first Sunday of September, a colorful reconstruction of the Battle of Borodino is held on the Borodino field. more than a thousand people participate, they represent infantry, artillery and cavalry. It's an amazing sight, look for a video on the Internet.

Napoleons army was decimated after a long campaign, his numbers were only half of its original strength. ! Can you please stop using the word decimated in such a grueling way? there are many other interesting words to describe heavy losses.
reply

forgive my ignorance but why would any commander attack a heavily entrenched defense position when they can be flanked and taken from the side or rear. the earthen redoubts which cannot be replaced would be negated by flanking?

Did anyone learn about this in school? Everything I learned about Napoleon in school was extremely vague. Just a lot of Napoleon good general without any basis or justification for the statement.

Its too risky. instead, we will march straight into those entrenched earthworks which will surely be firing cannister shot at close range!

6: 13 why did Napoleon dismiss the idea of the Iron Marshal? That Flanking maneuver was actually a good idea.

Napoleon called it a victory, but it was a Pyric victory, most of his men never made it back out alive.
