Shouldn't the "King Frederick" link point to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_II_of_Prussia? The link currently points to the biography of a similarly named monarch who reigned some 40 years after the events described.

yup.

Controversial statement

I retained "saved the day", but removed "Victory" as the outcome of the battle is disputed, and the Prussians retreated on the following day. Vitoldus44 17:57, 14 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Promotion history

The box in the article says:

  • Major General 20 June 1757
  • Lieutenant General 5 November 1747
  • Inspector General of Cavalry in Silesia 1763

Was he really promoted to Lt Gen a decade before being promoted to Maj Gen? The Rambling Man (talk) 06:29, 22 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

No. Should be 5 November 1757, as the article text says. On the field of the Battle of Rossbach.
