Vintage Czechoslovakia Poster Stamp Frederick the Great Battle of Prague on May 6, 1757 Unused No Gum. The Battle of Prague took place on May 6, 1757 in Prague, Bohemia, which is now part of the Czech Republic. The battle was part of the Third Silesian War, also known as the Seven Years' War (1756-1763). Battle of Prague (1757) This battle was one of the largest fought during the Seven Years War (1756-1763) and saw Frederick the Great's Prussians defeat the Austrians and drive their army back into Prague. However, the high casualties his own force sustained forced Frederick to lay siege to Prague rather than launching a direct assault on its walls. His siege was eventually abandoned the following month when an Austrian relief army arrived and defeated him at nearby Kolln. NAM Accession Number. NAM. 1999-04-194-1. Copyright/Ownership. National Army Museum, Out of Copyright. In the battle, Frederick the Great's 64,000 Prussian forces defeated the 66,000 Austrian forces led by Charles of Lorraine and Field Marshal von Browne. The Austrians lost more than 14,000 men, with 16,000 escaping to join Leopold Joseph, Graf von Daun, and the rest taking refuge in Prague. Frederick's forces suffered comparable losses, and he was forced to besiege Prague instead of directly attacking its walls. A month later, Daun arrived with more than 50,000 men to relieve Prague, but Frederick met him with 34,000 men and defeated him at Kolln. Frederick then stopped the bombardment of Prague and continued the siege under Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick. Wikipedia
