Love your videos on Prussian history. It’s the highlight of the week

“A prince ... is only the first servant of the state, who is obliged to act with probity and prudence. ... As the sovereign is properly the head of a family of citizens, the father of his people, he ought on all occasions to be the last refuge of the unfortunate.” ― Frederick II of Prussia

I'm surprised by how well the Prussians did. They used the element of surprise very well. But it wasn't enough. The Russians eventually managed to use their superior numbers effectively to turn the tide. I respect Lehwaldt for seeing that the battle had turned against him and pulling out, rather than stubbornly staying in an attempt to turn things back around, which was unlikely to succeed, and which would likely have doomed his army.

After the battle of Poltava 1709 Tsar Peter said to Swedish Fieldmarshal Rehnsklöld "I salut you for teaching me the art of war!" Russian military tactics were based on the Swedish Field Manual of which Fredrik the Great and his Officers were well trained in as many of them had served in the Swedish Army during the Great Northern War.

Hi! Thanks for video! A few comments about some definitions and names in Russian: 1) It should be written "Виллим", not "Вллим". Actually, this general's father was a Scottish guy in the Russian service and as well as his son, William, who was born already as a subject of Russian Crown. 2) It's "Царица" (Tsaritsa, female form of the word Tsar) but not "Царина" (Tsarina), because there is no such word in Russian language. 3) And a comment about these indecisive behaviour of Russian generals. They were worried about the health of Russian Empress Elizabeth, because in case of her death the next emperor would be Karl Peter Ulrich von Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf (grandson of both the Russian Tsar Peter the Great and the Swedish King Charles XII), who was a huge fan of Prussia and Frederick II. They surely didn't want to risk their career and life in case of unexpected death of the old ill-health Empress.

Thanks for the feedback! I used the names from the Russian Wiki. As far as I am aware, both Tsarina and Tsaritsa (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsarina) are correct. Russians perhaps don't use Tsarina, but most sources I used did write "Tsarina" rather than Tsaritsa.

East prussia was not as far away from pommerania as you said. This are not more than 150 km. The distance between berlin and the western border of East-prussia, or prussia as it was called in this times, is ca 400 km.

Even with all my studies I would not consider myself anything like an "expert', as their way of thinking about themselves and the rest of the world is quite alien to someone not born there, and Russians seem to have a difficult time explaining their thought process in a way outsiders can understand.

Why is Russia blue and not Prussia? Why don't you use standard NATO symbol for cavalry?

The russians have always faught the same way throughout history. There is never more than a mediocre amount of tactical skill on the part of their commanders or discipline of their soldiers, they have a disgustingly HUGE man pool (relative of course to everyone around them) so that unless you can funnel them into unforgiving terrain where they cant trade blow for blow as well, they will simply win battles through weight of numbers and the advantage that gives them towards soaking up casualties. The soviet advance in the second world war is treated as a meme by history enjoyers, but that suicidal advance tactic is really the same they have been using since at least the 1200's when the principalities united to challenge the mongols and lost and is more or less what happened at Gross-Jägersdorf; every time the prussians broke the russian lines they just brought up more men to fill it.
