Part of
Battle of Kulm: Vandamme's corps destroyed by the Coalition

Prussian corps under Kleist attacked Vandamme's rearguard while Russian and Austrian forces struck the French front and left.

The next day, Friedrich von Kleist's Prussian corps hit Vandamme in the rear while Russian and Austrian reinforcements attacked the French front and left. A Prussian army corps commanded by Kleist attacked Vandamme's rearguard. The battle's overall span is dated 29–30 August 1813, so this action is placed on 30 August by inference from that range rather than from a passage explicitly dating the attack itself.
