Gross-Jägersdorf, Battle of

Years: 1757 - 1757

The Battle of Gross-Jägersdorf (August 30, 1757) is a victory for the Russian force under Field Marshal Stepan Fedorovich Apraksin over a smaller Prussian force commanded by Field Marshal Hans von Lehwaldt, during the Seven Years' War.

Despite the tactical success and for reasons unknown, Apraksin decides not to take Königsberg and orders a withdrawal soon after the battle.

“That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that history has to teach.”
