		The German actions indicate that they were eager for battle, and not without reason -- the Russian navy had had a poor reputation since the debacle of Tsushima, and the Black Sea Fleet in particular had suffered a series of violent revolutionary upheavals in 1905-1906, including the famous Potemkin mutiny.

		But Frederick, in projecting his plan of battle, had not thought in the least of the precautions imputed to him by Fermor, and was far less intent on preserving at all costs his communication with Cüstrin than on directing his attack to the weakest spot in the Russian position.
		Shortly before the battle Fermor had informed his troops that the method of the Prussian infantry consisted in insolently advancing and beginning to fire before they reached the proper distance ; which habit should be courageously met, by relying on the effect of the artillery and of reasonable infantry fire at the correct distance.
