	Friedrich August von Finck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Friedrich August von Finck (1718-1766), Prussian soldier, was born at Strelitz.
		At the beginning of 1759 Finck became lieutenant-general, and in this rank commanded a corps at the disastrous battle of Kunersdorf, where he did good service both on the field of battle and (Frederick having in despair handed over to him the command) in the rallying of the beaten Prussians.
		Later in the year he fought in concert with General Wunsch a widespread combat, called the action of Korbitz (September 21) in which the Austrians and the contingents of the minor states of the Empire were sharply defeated.

	Battle of Maxen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Prussian army of 14,000 men, commanded by Friedrich August von Finck, one of Frederick the Great's most able generals, was sent behind the Austrian armies, with the intention of cutting their lines of communication with Bohemia.
		Frederick expected the Austrian general, Leopold von Daun, to withdraw once his lines were threatened, but instead he took advantage of Finck's isolation, and cornered him between three separate armies, outnumbering his force.
		His retreat was blocked by the Imperial army, and on the 21st Finck was forced to surrender with his entire army, a crushing victory for the Austrians, although von Daun failed to follow up on his success.

		Ernst Gideon Freiherr von Laudon (or Loudon) (February 2, 1717 - July 14, 1790), Austrian field marshal, was born at Tootzen in Livonia.
		In 1760 he sustained a reverse at Frederick's hands in the battle of Liegnitz (August 15, 1760), which action led to bitter controversy with Daun and Lacy, the commanders of the main army, who, Laudon claimed, had left his corps unsupported.

		Comment of Poster: "I'm not plugging Homestake, I just found it interesting that someone from the von Finck family made a 100 million dollar bet on gold and he started buying right at the January bottom.
		The von Finck family is one of the richest and most well connected families in Europe (For any conspiracy theorists out there, their name has been connected with the elite group of aristocracy and business leaders that supposedly dictate world policy).
		In any event, one would suspect August von Finck would not have made such a large bet if he was concerned about how much gold the European Central Bank was going to hold."
