Name that Battle!

**General Brewster** · October 03, 2019, 03:07 PM

Nope, I'll give a hint that it was during the "early" parts of the war.

German conquest of bombed Rotterdam May 1940?

**General Brewster** · October 03, 2019, 08:05 PM

Well... no. The Germans took my city, Rotterdam without a fight after the bombardment. Considering the country sued for peace after the Rotterdam bombardment. So no fighting in the ruins.

Battle took place during operation Barbarossa.

Looks like guessing time...

Kiev, 1941?

**General Brewster** · October 04, 2019, 07:18 AM

It's not in the Ukranian SSR. The year however is correct.

**Sar1n** · October 05, 2019, 12:01 PM

Oh well. 24 hours have passed since my last guess, so I'll try again.

Battle of Bialystok-Minsk.

**General Brewster** · October 06, 2019, 05:45 PM

Getting closer. As in very hot.

**Cope** · October 07, 2019, 10:12 PM

Brest fortress battle.

**Morticia Iunia Bruti** · October 07, 2019, 10:24 PM

Wjasma and Brjansk?

**Morticia Iunia Bruti** · October 08, 2019, 02:55 PM

OK, i have one:

The ouverture to a long lasting battle...

The correct name please.

**paleologos** · October 08, 2019, 03:45 PM

Well, it's not like there are any prominent landscape clues.

**Morticia Iunia Bruti** · October 08, 2019, 03:59 PM

The ouverture to a long lasting battle...

And I see a little forest.

**General Brewster** · October 08, 2019, 04:17 PM

Taking an educated guess, Verdun.

**Morticia Iunia Bruti** · October 08, 2019, 04:26 PM

Yeah you are on the right track, but Verdun is in fact a series of battles. I want to know one of them.

The french press reported intensive about this one.

**General Brewster** · October 09, 2019, 06:46 AM

I suppose you are looking for the battle of Bois des Caures then. As I presume this is Colonel Driant on the painting before his death in the same engagement.

**Morticia Iunia Bruti** · October 09, 2019, 11:25 AM

Right,Battle of Bois de Caures and Colonel Driant and his chasseurs, the modern french leonidas of WW I. Your turn. Can someone rep him, i can't in such a short time again.

**Abdülmecid I** · October 09, 2019, 05:46 PM

The general has been repped! The next image is one of my favourite paintings and it depicts the debacle at Bailen, which was caused mainly as a result of the commanders' ineptitude and reversed all the previous French gains achieved in Medina del Rio Seco and elsewhere.
