Battle of Dresden: Napoleon's last major victory in Germany

General Jean Victor Moreau, an adviser to the Coalition, was mortally wounded in the battle while talking to the Tsar.

Moreau, who had only recently returned from exile in the United States, was talking to the Tsar, who wished to see Napoleon defeated. He was mortally wounded in the battle during 26–27 August 1813. He died later, on 2 September, in Louny — a subsequent event outside the battle itself.
