	Leopold I, Prince of Anhalt-Dessau - LoveToKnow 1911
		In 1710 he succeeded to the command of the whole Prussian contingent at the front, and in 1712, at the particular desire of the crown prince, Frederick William, who had served with him as a volunteer, he was made a general field marshal.
		The "Old Dessauer" was one of the sternest disciplinarians in an age of stern discipline, and the technical training of the infantry, under his hand, made them superior to all others in the proportion of five to three (see War Of The Austrian Succession).
		He was essentially an infantry soldier; in his time artillery did not decide battles, but he suffered the cavalry service, in which he felt little interest, to be comparatively neglected, with results which appeared at Mollwitz.

	Battle of Chotusitz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Chotusitz (or Chotušice) was fought on May 17, 1742 between the Austrians under Prince Charles Alexander of Lorraine and the Prussians under Frederick the Great.
		The numbers were about equal but the steadiness of the Prussian infantry eventually wore down the Austrians, and they were forced to retreat, though in good order leaving behind them 18 guns and 12,000 prisoners.

	Prussia
		As a pretext for the war he took the treaties of succession of his forefathers with the rulers of several of the smaller Silesian duchies, made in 1537, for the nonfulfilment of which Austria seemingly was alone to blame.
		He gained the battle of Mollwitz 10 April, 1741, and on 5 June formed an alliance with France, the chief of the other opponents of Maria Theresa; the intervention of England led him to agree to a truce on 9 October, which enabled Austria to make its military force equal to that of France.
		In alarm Frederick advanced into Moravia, gained the battle of Chotusitz, 17 May, 1742, and in the Peace of Breslau, of 1 June of the same year, obtained from Austria the whole of Silesia, excepting the Countships of Glatz, Troppau, and Teschen.

	Fredericus Rex - A Rendevous with Glory: The Silesian Wars
		One day after the battle he told his minister Podewils, who was in Breslau, to get in touch with Lord Hynford and through him to start negotiations with Maria Theresa.
		Hohenfriedberg was the greatest victory so far, not only because of the bravery of his men, but also because Frederick had developed an uncanny ability to evaluate the situation, and to move at the precise right moment under cover of darkness, taking full advantage of the element of surprise.
		He was victorious in five big battles, but he had come close to ruin and destruction.

		He was born at Luneville on the 12th of December 1712, and educated for a military careen After his elder brother Francis, the duke, had exchanged Lorraine for Tuscany and married Maria Theresa, Charles became an Austrian officer, and he served in the campaigns of 1737 and 1738 against the Turks.
		At the outbreak of the Silesian wars in 1740 (see AUSTRIAN SUCCESSION, WAR OF THE), the queen made her brother-in-law a field marshal, though he was not yet thirty years old, and in 1742 Charles encountered Frederick the Great for the first time at the battle of Chotusitz (May 17th).
		Nevertheless the battle of Breslau, in which the Prussians suffered a defeat even more serious than that of Kolin, was won by him, and great enthusiasm was displayed in Austria over the victory, which seemed to be the final blow to Frederick.

		Accordingly, the Austrian foot took Chotusitz, after obstinate resistance; and old Konigseck, very ill of gout, got seated in one of the huts there; and the Prussian cavalry, embarrassed to get through the gullies, could not charge except piecemeal, and then though in some cases with desperate valor, yet in all without effectual result.
		Nor can the Austrian infantry, behind or to the west of burning Chotusitz, make an impression, though they try it, with 1evelled bayonets and deadly energy, again and again: the Prussian ranks are as if built of rock, and their fire is so sure and swift.
		The Field of Chotusitz, where you emerge on it, is a wide wavy plain; the steeple of Chotusitz, and, three or four miles farther, that of Czaslau (pronounce 'KOTusitz,' 'CHASlau'), are the conspicuous objects in it.

		Battle was joined on June 6 by armies of nearly equal size; the Austrians, however, holding the advantage of a prepared defensive position.
		Steuben was enaged in the battle of Liegnitz (in Silesia) on August 15, 1760, where Frederick’s troops, exhausted and outnumbered, defeated a poorly led Austrian army and was thus able to prevent the union of the Russian and Austrian armies.

	Charles of Lorraine (d.1780)
		His first battle, at Chotusitz (17 May), was technically a Prussian victory, although both sides suffered large numbers of casualties, and Charles was able to extract his army largely intact.
		His recrossing of the Rhine was a marked achievement, done without lose despite the presence of a hostile army, but he was unable to take advantage, as in August 1744 Frederick the Great invaded Bohemia and Charles had to be withdrawn to defend Austria.
		The battle of Prague (6 May 1757 was Charles' last major battle, and during the course of the battle he suffered a fit that removed him from command, possibly helping Frederick take the day.

		As it was, the Prussians had to relinquish their blockades of Brieg and Neisse ; and Neipperg was actually seven miles nearer Breslau than was Frederick on the morning of April 10, the day on which the armies met near the village of Mollwitz.
		Had he moved with greater speed, he might have caught Frederick at a disadvantage, for on the morning of May 16 there was a considerable space between the King, who was with his vanguard, and the main body, which was at Podhorzan.
		Chotusitz added the necessary weight to the arguments of the English envoys, who were as usual seeking to persuade Maria Theresa to come to terms with Prussia.
