Popis: Given that Napoleon had already defeated both Austria and Russia in the Austerlitz campaign, it is perhaps not surprising that the Prussian army, which had not fought the French since 1795, suffered the same fate. Considering the scale of the calamity that befell Prussia and its army, though, the question remains why the Prussian army was so decisively defeated, ensuring that the Jena Campaign remained embedded in Prussia’s collective memory as a singularly shameful debâcle.
