  Leonhard, Count Von Blumenthal - LoveToKnow 1911
LEONHARD BLUMENTHAL, COUNT VON (1810-1900), Prussian field marshal, son of Captain Ludwig von Blumenthal (killed in 1813 at the battle of Dennewitz), was born at Schwedton-Oder on the 30th of July 1810.
Blumenthal's soldierly qualities and talent were never more conspicuous than in the critical days preceding the battle of Sedan, and his services in the war have been considered as scarcely less valuable and important than those of Moltke himself.
In 1871 Blumenthal represented Germany at the British manoeuvres at Chobham, and was given the command of the IV.

 CHAPTER XI. - WAR OF LIBERATION, TO THE PEACE OF PARIS.
A pitched battle west of the Elbe was necessary before the Allies could hope to win over any of the States of the Rhenish Confederacy; the flat country beyond Leipzig offered the best possible field for cavalry, in which the Allies were strong and Napoleon extremely deficient.

Next morning began that vast and decisive encounter known in the language of Germany as "the battle of the nations," the greatest battle in all authentic history, the culmination of all the military effort of the Napoleonic age.
