 Prussian Awards
Founded in 1701 by Friedrich I, the Black Eagle Order was not awarded for merit in the same sense as the Pour le Mérite, but was a "Collar" order with very limited membership, granted by the King of Prussia.
The knight's cross of this order became a bridge to the considerable gap between the Iron Cross, first class, and the Pour le Merite for recognizing heroism., while the Crown Order and Red Eagle (logical choices) remained fairly exclusive.
It was, as with the Order of the Crown and other Prussian orders, both a military and a civil award, with the addition of crossed swords to indicate a military award.

 Suvorov - Russia's Eagle Over the Alps
Suvorov believed that opportunity of the battlefield is the child of fortune, but exploitation called for intelligence, experience, and an intuitive eye - the "coup d'oeil." On the battlefield, he emphasized speed, surprise, and concentration at the enemy's weakest point.
At the theater or operational level, he emphasized the maneuver of forces in order to destroy the enemy's supply lines and material, and the concentration of forces against the enemy's weak point to deliver a decisive blow.
While he would send units into battle piecemeal as they reached the field in order to maintain momentum, he called for concentration of mass on the enemy's weak point through which the mass must quickly and directly hit in order to sustain the attack.
