WTF is wrong with a person who thinks of a Russian battle instead of Lexington , Concord or Iwo Jima? Fixated on Russia? Find a European forum and stop clogging up the USMB with (anti) Russian propaganda.

I almost forgot, there was the war against my driveway.



And yes, the driveway won and later forced me to give up my home and car as spoils of our little war.

The degree to which a historic battle is famous is not always an indication of how decisive it was since the victors write the history books.

An important battle about which no Hollywood movie has been made nor is likely to be made was the Battle of Kasserine Pass since it was a humiliating defeat for the inexperienced Allies against the outnumbered, out gunned and battle weary German forces.

I have read that in several instances, Rommel, who was virtually always outnumbered, short on fuel and related supplies and without air cover used light utility vehicles to drag brush creating so much dust that it gave the illusion of a much larger force. With the low visibility, the Allies were left to inflict more casualties on themselves than were caused by Rommel's numerically inferior forces.

The Battle of Vienna (Sept. 12, 1683) against the invading Ottoman Turks was perhaps a more significant battle because it determined the fate of Western Europe.

The infamous Ottoman siege cannon proved to be less effective against Vienna's defenses than in earlier battles.

I couldn't resist posting a photo of one of the cumbersome and ornate weapons.

The Battle of Vienna (Sept. 12, 1683) against the invading Ottoman Turks was perhaps a more significant battle because it determined the fate of Western Europe.

It's a myth. The Ottomans—essentially a Gazavat empire (like all Moscow empires) —could never truly challenge Western Europe, much like the USSR empire had no real chance against the USA.

44 Swedes and 1 Pole are known to have participated in the skirmish at Bender:- His Majesty the King Karl XII- General Axel Sparre- Corporal Daniel Danielsson Dreffling- Royal guard Karl Carpelan- Royal guard Axel Erik Roos- Royal guard Jobst Henrik von Tschammer- Royal guard Mathias Wohlberg- Chamberlain Gustaf Clysendorff (killed in action)- Baron Johan von Palmenberg (killed in action)- Equerry Fredrik Krus (killed in action)- Secretary Carl Didrik Ehrenpreus- Secretary Gustaf Celsing- Colonel Christoffer Cyprianos Urbanowicz (Polish guest officer)- First lieutenant Olof Åberg- Sergeant major Karl Magnus Krusell- Gunner Mårten Paulsson- Cavalier Jon Berg- Cavalier Michael Bonde- Cavalier Peter Gädda- Cavalier Mårten Frimodig- Cavalier Olof Kjerström- Cavalier Måns Palm- Cavalier Johan Tiugstedt- Dragoon Nils Nordstrand- Corporal Eric Tillberg- Private Henrik Baur- Private Bertil Block- Private Eric Brun- Private Pehr Carlsson- Private Per Eneroth- Private Adam Flink- Private Lars Frimodig- Private Anders Frisk- Private Peter Holm- Private Georg Ludvig- Private Fabian Meiss- Private Jacob Mårtensson- Private Eric Sadman- Private Georg Sehman- Private Johan Smitt- Private Georg Spring- Private Georg Sånge- Private Sefre Winter- Able seaman Olof Bohm- The personal chef of Axel Sparre, whose name was not recorded (killed in action)
