1870 - 71: The Franco-Prussian War

The Diaries of a Prussian Lieutenant Colonel (1x3)

Air date: Aug 18, 2020

Prussian Lieutenant-Colonel Paul Bronsart von Schellendorff, 38, details in his diary how his brilliant battle plans contribute to the success of the Prussian army and his negotiations for the French surrender at Sedan. With almost scientific precision, he gives a clear-eyed, unempathetic account of the war.
