Delightful cartoons, but such a distorted sense of history. What were the Prussians doing throughout 1805? Oh yes, I remember, they were negotiating for Hanover with Napoleon, behind the backs of their Coalition allies. One always wonders what the outcome of Austerlitz might have been if the Prussians had joined Russia and Austria. Then there were those campaigns in Poland during 1807 when Russia tried to save your King and Queen's throne and honor. A lot of Russians died on the way to Tilsit to give Prussia some breathing space. Then there was 1809 when you bravely mustered a few freikorps to annoy the French while they concentrated on Austria. I seem to recall in 1812, Prussia repaid her loyalty to Russia by joining the French army of invasion. Finally, there were the wars of liberation in 1813 and 1814. It seems that Prussia required considerable assistance from Russia, Austria, Britain, Sweden, Portugal and Spain. Perhaps a piece of humble pie would be in order for dessert. Take care. Bill
Well considering the Austrians ran at Austerlitz & the Russian Czar refused to function that day, it was probably best that we stayed out. Besides where was the Russians in 1806? 1812 Prussia was forced to send troops to Nappy's Army, but be damned if after his fall in Russia our forces were the first to rise up over the French yoke and those forces were wisely neutralized, as the whole time Prussia had been planning revenge on France, building a force of men & material. Who were the generals that defeated Nappy at every major step in 1813/14, Prussian ones. Austria stood by until it was clear the Allies would win. Prussian troops were the first in Leipzig, Blucher pressed the rulers to go in France. Then crowned it all at Waterloo.....

Always glad to stir up my fellow Allies. Glad to see you could make it to the Friday night party. Helga, a round of lemonade for Pokputnoknik Cann!
