Napoleon
left Hannover with First French Army on 27 February 1813.
The
two days later he reached the town of Lehre, which is 15 miles east of
Brunswick. Here he received reports
that the Prussian Army were at Wolfsburg, just 30 miles to the east.
Blucher
had delayed at Magdeburg to allow his army to recover from their long march
from Berlin. This delay prevented him
from taking Brunswick before Napoleon could reach the city.
The
map shows the location of each corps and detachment at midnight on 1 March 1813
