This is the Monument to the Battle of the Nations, located in Leipzig (my hometown), build in 1913. It has a height of 91 meters and so it is one of the biggest monuments in europe.

In Germany this monument is known as Völkerschlachtdenkmal or (in the vernicular) simply Völki

After the disastrous Campaign against Russia in 1812, the Grande Armée was no longer considered invincible. So from 16 to 19 October 1813, Leipzig was the scene of the Battle of the Nations. The allied armies of Russia, Prussia, Austria and Sweden won a decisive victory over Napoleon and his allies. The result: 600,000 soldiers from over twenty nations took part, 100,000 were killed or wounded. Napoleon's Grande Nation collapsed and the Confederation of the Rhine fell apart.

I have watched the film NAPOLEON two days ago and I was dissapointed to see that the Battle of the Nations was not mentioned there. With no single word. Neither in the film nor in the statistics at the end.

#the battle of the nations 1813 #history #leipzig #Napoleon film 2023 #Just one of several reasons why NAPOLEON was not as good as I wished. Hopefully the Director's Cut version will make it better
