Description |
English: Napoleon (the tiger) is shown leaping across the Rhine River, bleeding from multiple spear wounds and fleeing from the representatives of the allied nations. In fact, this is a distorted view of the pursuit of Napoleon across the Rhine River. The French did suffer defeats at the Katzbach River in late August and at the "Battle of the Nations" in Leipzig in mid-October 1813, after which they retreated hastily across the Elster, pursued by allied troops. This defeat ultimately cost Napoleon control of Germany. However, by late October he had regrouped enough to successfully fight off the Bavarians at Hanau, so that his actual crossing of the Rhine at Mainz on November 2 was orderly and without pursuit.
