December 1758 CE

Hamilton, after the failure of the Austrian invasion of Saxony, had left Neuruppin on October 10 and headed for the River Oder, in the hopes of joining up with the Russians.

He had failed in this and the Swedish force has had to go into winter quarters, with Hamilton returning to Swedish Pomerania.

The government blames him for the force's failure and has pressured him into resigning his command, which Hamilton had done on November 23, 1758.

Hamilton is replaced as commander on December 19 of the same year with Jacob Albrecht von Lantingshausen.
