I was at the Army Museum here in Stockholm this tuesday. They got 2 of those white armoured cares outside, they look stupid.
Supposedly real. Apparently taken by a photographer attached to a French artillery battery. Those are Prussian skirmish lines if you didn't guess already.
The Swedish Victory at Narva by Gustaf Cederström, painted 1910
The Battle of Narva on 19 November 1700 (30 November, N.S.) was an early battle in the Great Northern War. A Swedish relief army under Charles XII of Sweden defeated a Russian siege force three times its size. Before, Charles XII had forced Denmark-Norway to sign the Treaty of Travendal. Narva was not followed by further advances of the Swedish army into Russia, instead, Charles XII turned southward to expel August the Strong from Livonia and Poland-Lithuania. Peter the Great took Narva in a second battle in 1704.
Prussian Prince Friedrich Carl orders his enthusiastic troops to attack at the Battle of Königgrätz. The Crown Prince and his troops had arrived late, and in the wrong place, but when he arrived, he ordered his troops immediately into the fray. This decisive battle, which the Prussians won, forced the Habsburgs to end the war, and laid the groundwork for the Kleindeutschland (little Germany) solution, or "Germany without Austria."
