Great Northern War literature, Lesnaya 1708
Posted: Sun Feb 28, 2016 9:17 pm
Hello, I'd like some help from you. I'm looking for Great Northern War literature available since after 2010- in all languages. Mostly in Russian/Ukrainian.
I'm searching for information about the battle of Lesnaya 1708, and I've seen contradicting numbers of troops in comparison to the traditional accepted numbers for the two armies. For one, it says there were 9-11,000 irregulars present and Lesnaya, and also 9,600 men in Werden's division and not 6,100 as previous accepted. Problem is I don't know where I've seen this...I'd like to know the source because I don't find the information that reliable.
I suspect it's from Russian literature, but could also be Ukrainian, English or Swedish. Have anyone else encountered such numbers? Any Russian know of this?
Best wishes, fullapa
