	Leximancer Document Summary
		Who does not feel that an attack in flank or rear, which at the commencement of the battle, when the forces are concentrated and prepared for such an event, would be of little importance, gains quite another weight in the last moment of the combat.
		[47] At the battle of Kunersdorf, Frederick the Great at the first onset carried the left of the Russian position, and took 70 pieces of artillery; at the end of the battle both were lost again, and the whole result of the first combat was wiped out of the account.
		If, for instance, we picture to ourselves exactly the tactical course of the battle, we may easily see that until it is finally concluded all successes in partial combats are only decisions in suspense, which by the capital decision may not only be destroyed, but changed into the opposite.

	History of Friedrich II of Prussia V 19 - Chapter IV.
		That of burning Kunersdorf was the barbaric winding up of all this: barbaric, and, in the military sense, absurd; poor Kunersdorf could have been burnt at any moment, if needful; and to the Russians the keeping of it standing was the profitable thing, as an impediment to Friedrich in his advance there.
		This is a glorious beginning; completed, I think, as far almost as Kunersdorf by one o'clock: and could the iron continue to be struck while it is at white-heat as now, the result were as good as certain.
		Broken portions of the Russian left flank,--some of Finck's people, in their victorious wrath, may have chased these very far: but it is certain the general Russian mass rallied again a long way short of the Judenberg;--though, the ground being all obliterated by the rabbits and the winds, nobody can now know with exactitude where.

	Monhaupt part 6
		On the day of battle the horse artillery should be held ‘at hand’, if one would attack or expect to be attacked, with the part [of the army] that would have to do the initial fighting; to cover the attack; to support the cavalry; or to proceed the attack.
		During the battle of Leuthen [5 December 1757], it would have been of no use to the Austrian army to deploy their horse artillery (assuming that they had horse artillery at that date) to reinforce their left wing.
		From the proclamation of the Archduke Carl to his army after that battle, which had fought bravely, in which he rebukes the behaviour of the left wing, the dreadfulness of this weapon can be recognised.
