The Morning After the Attack at Hochkirch, 14 October 1758
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from 1936, we are transported back to a moment of great historical significance. The image captures King Frederick the Great of Prussia and his men in the aftermath of a devastating attack at Hochkirch on that fateful morning of October 14th, 1758. As dawn broke over Germany, the Austrians launched a surprise assault on the Prussian camp. Chaos ensued as soldiers were ruthlessly bayonetted in their tents, leaving behind scenes of unimaginable horror. This photograph freezes time just moments after this bitter defeat. The expression on King Frederick's face tells a story of resilience and determination amidst adversity. Surrounded by his loyal men who have survived the onslaught, he stands tall as a symbol of leadership and strength. The scars of battle are evident - torn uniforms, weary faces - yet there is an unwavering spirit that shines through. This image is part of "Bilder Deutscher Geschichte" an album filled with cigarette cards depicting pivotal moments in German history. It serves as both a testament to human courage and sacrifice during times of war and as a reminder that even in defeat, there can be hope for redemption. Through this photograph, we glimpse into the past and witness firsthand the indomitable spirit that has shaped nations throughout history. It is an enduring tribute to those who fought bravely against all odds and serves as a poignant reminder never to forget their sacrifices.
