1 March 1813 – North Germany - Day 1




Napoleon’s campaign strategy is to attack the city of Brunswick.
To this end he has placed 1st and 4th corps at Salzgitter
However he opens the campaign with an attack at Gifhorn
This is to tempt Blucher to reinforce his right flank

The French win a convincing victory at the battle of Gifhorn
Three Prussian brigades are routed, plus the gunners
French lost 600 casualties
Prussians lost 2400 casualties
