@Kevin F. Kiley



Davout said that regarding Bernadotte after Auerstadt-with good reason.

I have to check on that, otherwise this topic Bernadotte and executing his orders at Jena, were discussed at lengths at the old napoleon series org forum at lengths, were the "good reason" was demolished - without reading Foucart, Titeux, Ouvrad, Picard, John Cook, Dupont, Belliard, Girod de l'Ain, Murat, Soult - a balanced assessment seems likely to fail, Elting as ever so often is very badly informed and shows only his willingness to accept the propaganda of Boney without doing proper research, as :



but in 1806 he deliberately disobeyed orders, Elting, Swords, p. 137

You take Elting's opinion usually as face value - where I am asking - but is that really the case? And no it isn't - as proper research shows.


For those inclined to learn more - please read this discussion at
