Battle of Zorndorf

The Battle of Zorndorf,[a] during the Seven Years' War, was fought on 25 August 1758 between Russian troops commanded by Count William Fermor and a Prussian army commanded by King Frederick the Great. The battle was tactically inconclusive, with both armies holding their ground and claiming victory. The site of the battle was the Prussian village of Zorndorf (now SarbinowoPoland). During the battle, Frederick famously took a regimental standard and led an attack himself, rallying his troops.
