From Berlin to Leipzig: Napoleon's Gamble in North Germany, 1813
View through CrossRef
This article examines Napoleon's desperate scramble in 1813 to preserve
French dominance in Europe by closely scrutinizing his operations and
strategy. Instead of concentrating his forces for a decisive showdown
with the enemy's main force, Napoleon repeatedly detached large numbers
of troops under ineffective commanders to capture the Prussian capital
of Berlin. The heavy losses and strategic reverses sustained by the
French in these questionable undertakings left Napoleon's Grande
Arm�e vulnerable to the massive Allied coalition that would
confront him at Leipzig. This study of French military operations in
North Germany highlights the breakdown of Napoleonic strategy in 1813,
and demonstrates that the Allied defense of Berlin in 1813 played a
significant role in Napoleon's ultimate expulsion from Germany.
