Now we haven't forgotten.

Today is a great day!

For 2 reasons:

Happy Austerlitz's day!

Are Napoleon's the appropriate pastry for the celebration?

Well well well...

He wasn't the only one to abandon something...

Blucher abandoned farming to go to war. :mrgreen:

Wellington abandoned India to find glory in Europe :mrgreen:

Alexander I and Francis II had to flee the field of battle at Austerlitz

Friedrich Wilhelm III and his wife Louise (the beautiful) had to flea after the double disaster of Jena–Auerstedt...

Haha, twas actually Ole Welly's brother in charge over in India!

Still, Nappy has the best record for fleeing from the battlefield directly to save his own hide and leave his men to die.... :frenchlol:

Oh such is the Glory of the millions who died for the lil Corsican Corporal... :thumbsup:

He didn't flee he just needed to get back because he needed to feed the cat. Plus when he fled Russia at least he took his army with him. :frenchcool

Haha nice....total aside an old iNWC member had two very beloved cats named Napoleon & Josephine.... :frenchcool

But, you know, Napoleon totally took off on his men from Russia and left them to rot. Then Murat took off on them too....I've seen retail clerks more loyal than those two.... :frenchlol:

He didn't flee, I continued to fight for the cause of teaching the European hillbillies some lessons.
A German documentary mentions that the French introduced the garbage collection along the Rhine area for example, some people really need to learn the easiest things, wouldn't wonder if they also teach them not to pee against the wind.
:frenchlol:

And at least he didn't revert anything back to the pre-revolution era like the Coaltion did, they just made sure anyone died in these wars to let the fat Bourbons stay in power.
:frenchcharge:

German Empire with pensions and automobile insurance trumps old Boney!

No he didn't he just erased the Revolution and made everything his own testament.

A good PR man he was for his own legend...
