Parts Polish - the French brigade together with Baden grenadiers from Wittenberg battled against Prussian infantry and landver, and also constantly were exposed to attacks of a cavalry in narrow streets of city. Many young soldiers for the first time have felt a smell of gunpowder. The big fight passed on the limited space, there was no place for expansion of all forces and was little bit boring. But numerous spectators were delighted with fight.
