The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Following the occupation of Dresden by Frederick the Great on 9 September 1756, the Saxon army under Frederick von Rutowski had withdrawn southeast and taken up position at the fortified camp of Pirna.
- The position was tactically strong, as the steep terrain, fortresses, and defensive works added protection, leaving Frederick with no option but to isolate and starve the Saxon army into surrendering.
- As a result, Frederick encircled the camp and blocked outside support.
