	Osprey Campaign 21 : Gravelotte-St-Privat 1870 : End of the Second Empire
		Probably the hardest fought of all the battles of the Franco-Prussian War, Gravelotte-St- Privat shatters the myth of French inferiority to the Prussian army.
		Occupying a ridge line running from St.Privat in the north to Gravelotte in the south, Bazaine's army inflicted heavy casualties on the advancing Prussian troops and beat off a determined attack by the Prussian Guard.
		This battle had a decisive influence on the outcome of the war; had Bazaine met the Prussian forces on anything like equal terms, a victory could have turned the tide of the fighting.

		This place was on some high ground overlooking the villages of Rézonville and Gravelotte, about the centre of the battlefield of Mars-la Tour, and from it most of the country to the east towards Metz could also be seen.
		The battle was begun to the east and northeast of Sedan, as early as half-past four o'clock by the German right wing -the fighting being desultory-and near the same hour the Bavarians attacked Bazeilles.
		Here the slaughter of the French was awful, for in addition to the deadly volleys from the solid battalions of their enemies, the skirmishers, who had rallied in knots at advantageous places, were now delivering a severe and effective fire.

		It was not till the 17th of August that the headquarters came up with the fighting front of the army; but the next day, during the decisive battle of Gravelotte, Bismarck watched the combat by the side of the King, and, as at Koeniggraetz, they more than once came under fire.
		Bismarck was more fortunate than his friends in that neither of his sons—nor any of his near relatives—lost his life; Roon’s second son fell at Sedan, and the bloody days of Mars-la-Tour and Gravelotte placed in mourning nearly every noble family in Prussia.
		The surrender of Sedan was a military event, and the conditions had to be arranged between Moltke and Wimpffen, who had succeeded MacMahon in command, but Bismarck was present at the conference, which was held in his quarters, in case political questions arose.
