    I checked with some intelligence sources. This would appear to be part of a major Russian effort to malign Napoleon and the French forces.

    A not so good translation, well canal guard, who may that be? Marins de la Garde?

    Also Figner is painted only in the brightest colour, how noble he is - despite fellow Russian officers were outraged how cold bloodily he killed POWs.

    Then the partisans, iron discipline - really?
