Zorndorf 1758

 Today's anniversary. Wiki. Both sides claimed victory.

Ah! Scene of my favourite quote from that period: Seydlitz on receiving repeated messages from Frederick to attack:
“Tell the king that after the battle my head is at his disposal, but meantime I hope he will permit me to use it in his service!”
Still relevant today!
