Talk:Battle of Kunersdorf

Changes
I have changed Austrian-Russian victory to "Russo-Austrian vicotry" since the Russians accounted for 41,000 troops on the field (the Austrians had 18,500 troops, mostly in reserve). Although there are claims that Loudon's participation was instrumental to the victory, the Austrians accounted for only ca. 30% of the allied army, and the overall command was Saltykov's. When Loudon faced Frederick II by himself, he was soundly beaten at Liegnitz in 1760. Vitoldus44 18:51, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Info box
Info box is overly detailed and confusing this defeats the purpose of the info box which is to give the gist at a glance. Much of that information should be moved into the body of the article and ref'd as it does not agree with what's currently written in article.Tttom1 (talk) 17:16, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Russian before the battle was 41.248 people and the Austrians - 18.523. These figures are in the documents and in all Russian scientific works. Why do you ignore this data and use German invention? 91.188.184.57 (talk) 17:32, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Suvorov was only a major fighting in his first actual battle at Kunersdorf, he should not be listed as a commander here.

Frankfurt an der Oder, second largest city in Prussia
I very much doubt that Frankfurt an der Oder at the time was the second largest city in Prussia. In 1750 it had a civiliam population of 9,470. Compare this with Breslau's 55,000 in 1750 and Königsberg's 47,939 in 1768. Stettin had about 13,000 in 1750, Magdeburg had 18,000 in 1740, Halle had 13,460 in 1751. This is not to stay that Frankfurt was not all that important a city; it just was not so much the size of its population but its strategic location as a gateway to Berlin for any foreign army that crossed the Oder there that made this city so vital at that point in time.
