“ Das Reitergefecht bei Liebertwolkwitz am 14. Oktober 1813. Im Vordergrund Marschall Murat” by Richard Knötel
The cavalry battle at Liebertwolkwitz on October 14, 1813, in the foreground Marshal Murat
Crude google translation from the website linked below: 
Duel with the King (Murat)
In the run-up to the Battle of Leipzig, on October 14, 1813, there was a cavalry battle between the cavalry corps of the Russian General Count von der Pahlen and the cavalry of the French Marshal and King of Naples, Murat. Since the battle, which lasted from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., involved up to 15,000 horsemen from both sides in the melee, the battle is often called the "biggest cavalry battle of modern times".The Pahlen Cavalry Corps also included the Prussian Mounted Grenadier Regiment "Freiherr von Derfflinger" (Neumarkisches) No. 3, founded in 1807 in Bromberg. In association with two Russian hussar regiments, it encountered the French positions south of Leipzig in the course of a violent reconnaissance. In the wide plain between Dölitz, Markkleeberg, Wachau, Liebertwolkwitz and Holzhausen, Marshal Murat had his French, Poles and Rheinbündische entrenched in accordance with a plan by Marshal Victor.
Pahlen, who was only a moderately talented general, did not recognize this locking position and ordered the attack from the movement. The Allies quickly came under heavy French artillery fire from the Galgenberg, the dominant height in this flat country. The order "Collect backwards" had to be given while the French cavalry counterattacked. As always, Marshal Murat himself rode at the head in his theatrical costume.
Lieutenant Guido von der Lippe commanded the flanking platoon in the 2nd Squadron of Mounted Grenadiers. The young Upper Silesian made the decision to capture this "vain peacock". He used the moment, when the King of Naples was only accompanied by his body boy ( Leibbursche ), to make an unauthorized advance, accompanied by a few comrades from his cavalcade.
With the call "Halt, König, halt!", spoken in German, the lieutenant tried to grasp the reins of Murat's white palfrey. He dodged it skillfully and stared blankly at the young officer, drawn saber in hand. The body boy, on the other hand, reacted with lightning speed and knocked the attacker out of the saddle with his edged weapon. However, the approaching body squadron of the king put an end to the bold attempt at capture by the Neumärker.
Lieutenant Guido von der Lippe was found by his lad on the battlefield on October 16, 1813, hidden under corpses, and buried with honor by the 2nd squadron. The history painter Richard Knötel later created a lasting monument to him.
Murat's body boy was appointed "Royal Equerry", an "honorary pension from the city of Naples" for life and the horse of the lieutenant von der Lippe. Emperor Napoleon awarded the equerry the "Cross of the Legion of Honour".

How’s summer in Upper Silesia?
It's beautiful in my corner of the region, with vast forests planted by Cistercian monks in the late medieval period, lakes and meadows between them. Back in the day, I even had the option to rent a horse for an hour or two and make an excursion like a proper gentleman of ye olde. Just like I wrote two years ago in that one post, wandering in the Upper Silesian countryside makes you absolutely ready to kill and die for this land and its people. Too bad the family that owned the horse farm sold it years ago and moved to Germany. Oh well.
High temperatures aren't so bad when you have a big house in the middle of a bona fide village and your own forest right behind said house. And then, the walls are thick enough to make your living comfortable even without A/C.
Too bad that the last time I visited home was two weeks ago and currently I'm stuck in the middle of a glorified shtetl.

you should write a short biography for all of them and post it here :D
I already did a couple of months before, buuuuut here we go again!!
➼ Hanik He's the protagonist of the story during the 1920s! An energetic and extroverted, optimistic, a bit of happy-go-lucky person, there's always a smile on his face – either genuine or a cocky one. Super patriotic, always considered himself Pole first, then Silesian. Hates Germans. He's a miner in the coal mine "Giesche" (later "Wieczorek"). He's the husband of Helena Dytko. Can imagine him acting against commandant's orders during the fights two or three times. He's 24 during the story :o)
➼ Marcin The oldest of the group, born in 1888 (33 during the story), he's also their voice of reason™️. He was raised in a rather wealthy family, which wanted him to become a priest, but decided to lead a life of a simple miner instead (works in the same coal mine as Hanik). Oasis of calm, it's really hard to provoke him. A good balance to the volatile characters of Hanik and Ernst. He served during WW1, where he got shot between ribs – miraculously managed to survive. That's why he has a German uniform on the ref. He's asexual and aromantic! Good at playing various card games – almost nobody in Giszowiec can beat him.
➼ Ernst Ernst is many things: a womanizer, unprofessional horse rider, and a radio host in radio "Katowice". He doesn't look for long or devoted romances, often has one-night stands – everybody else is TIRED of hearing about them. He comes from Bytom, but moved to Katowice with his family, and later fought in the second and third Silesian Uprising – that's how he met Hanik and Marcin, and they've been friends since. A sarcastic person, he loves to tease others with his irony. 22 during the events of the 1920s arc. Owns a horse named Dakota.
➼ Gynek He's the youngest of the group, born in Cieszyn in 1901. He decided to fight in the third Silesian Uprising because he was kicked out of his house and had nowhere to go. After the uprising, he was offered to come to Giszowiec with Hanik, Marcin and Ernst, where he began to work in the coal mine "Giesche". He's a young, talented, naïve artist. He never attended art school, so he doesn’t know if he can call himself an artist at all. He's shy and really self-conscious, but despite that, he also fought bravely against Germans. He's bisexual.
Uff, I guess that is it! Now you know them a bit.... if you want more info, I have a whole Toyhouse dedicated to my characters. Thank you for asking!

sometimes you are graveyard wandering at midnight and all is well but you suddenly think "something here smells like a horse" and as you move farther down the alley of tombs you think "something here sounds like a horse" and then there's a horse.

Hello! I have finally decided to introduce my OCs and story to a larger public. The universe takes place in Silesia (mostly Katowice) through the whole 20th century, and some 21st c. too. Here we have characters from the interwar period. Feel free to ask them/ask me about them about everything! I love sharing my ideas with people. 🗡️ Janusz Dytko 🗡️ Hanik, Hanzlik or Janek. Whatever. Just not Johannes. Hanik is the main character of the story, during the 1920s and 1930s arcs. He lives in Giszowiec (estate of Katowice, Poland) since 1917, and he works as a miner in KWK “Giesche” (coalmine “Giesche”) in Nikiszowiec. He fought in all three Silesian Uprisings. He is a very extroverted person, and there’s almost always a smile on his face – either a pure one or cocky one. Hanik is short-tempered, and easy to unnerve – especially if you’re German. His hobby is collecting various knives (Finnish knives, hunting, whatever he gets his hands on) and raising pigeons.
🍻 Marcin Niedźwiecki 🍻 Caressingly called “Cinek” by his friends, but try to call him like that, and he can break your fingers. Supporting character. Just like Hanik, he works on KWK “Giesche” as a miner, fought in all three Silesian Uprisings as well. As he’s not married, he lives in a miners' hotel in Giszowiec. Born in 1888. He’s an oasis of calm, Marcin is rather insular, and his mustache covering his mouth gives him even more dignity. Sometimes he’s tired of the impulsive characters of Hanik and Ernest. His family wanted him to become a priest, but Marcin preferred to become a miner. He can play grand piano, as he was taught by his mother in childhood. He’s asexual aromantic.
🍷 Ernest Rębacz 🍷 Ernest is another supporting character. In short Ernst, but it doesn’t make much of a difference. Even though he isn’t a miner – he works in radio “Katowice” since it’s establishment in 1927 – he also fought in second and third Silesian Uprising. During those events, he met Hanik and Marcin, and they’ve been friends since. Ernest is a womanizer, who doesn’t looks for long or devoted romances. He’s a hobbyist horse rider. Just like Hanik, he has a rather volatile personality. He often replies with irony or sarcasm, and he often has a smirk on his face. 🎨 Eugeniusz Myśliwski 🎨 Gynek or Ojgen in short; using his full name, you can make him embarrassed. Supporting character. Gynek was born in Cieszyn in 1901, and despite his young age, he decided to go to Annaberg to fight in the third Silesian Uprising. There he met Hanik, Marcin and Ernest, with whom he came back to Giszowiec – after the uprising, he had nowhere to go. Gynek is working on coalmine “Giesche” too, as well as a young, talented naïve artist. He never attended art school, so he doesn’t know if he can call himself an artist. Like Marcin, he lives in a miners’ hotel. A shy boy, typically self-conscious. Bisexual.
🍳 Helena Dytko 🍳 Known to everyone as Lynka. Really supporting characters; she’s Hanik’s wife. The man promised her to get married as soon as Silesia becomes part of Poland again, which happened in 1922.
She’s a housewife, who takes care of their home in Giszowiec. Lynka can be described as chopiona – a woman wearing traditional Silesian clothing. Despite her small posture, and work which isn’t hard to many, she perfectly knows how to get her way. Energetic and friendly individual, although she can point out your dirty shoes on a freshly cleaned floor. Or wet coat. She had good intuition. She knows how to operate basic weaponry, and if there is a need, she can use a frying pan or a rolling pin as a weapon if prompted to.
