Description

Rare battle plan of the Siege of Olmutz (Olomouc).

The view show the intensive bombardment of Olmutz from the attacker's side while the main map shows the attack from a larger plan perspective.  The lengthy text description lists strength and positions of the invading forces.

The Siege of Olomouc took place in 1758 when a Prussian army led by Frederick the Great besieged the Austrian city of Olmütz during the Prussian invasion of Moravia in the Third Silesian War (Seven Years' War). The attempt stalled as the besiegers faced stronger resistance than Frederick had expected.

With a lack of supplies and the approach of an Austrian relief force following the Battle of Domstadtl, Frederick abandoned the siege and withdrew from Moravia.
