17 October 1813 – Rosenheim Campaign – Day 15


Although he won the battle of Bad Tolz, Oudinot now finds himself in an impossible position.  Three of his four corps have retreated to the west.   11th corps still holds the town, but there are four Austrian corps within one days march.

All four Austrian corps are in poor condition.   Two of his corps are out of supply, and his depots are far to the rear.   But if necessary he is prepared to resume the attack unless 11th Bavarian corps retreats.

Oudinot orders 11th corps to retreat and abandon Bad Tolz.

Schwartzenberg has won the campaign.
