King George, pinned down against the Harz…

June 1866 CE

King George, pinned down against the Harz Mountains and out of options, surrenders in Nordhausen two days after the Battle of Langensalza.

The battle, a near disaster in the Hanoverian campaign for the Prussians, had wiped out Flies’ detachment of troops and could have allowed an avenue of escape for the Hanoverian army.

At the same time, this battle had provided just enough time for the northern and southern Prussian contingents to link up at the battle site, which ultimately forced Hanoverian surrender.
