BIOGRAPHIES:
* Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher, Prince of Wahlstatt, born on December 16, 1742, in Rostock in the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, and died on September 12, 1819, in Krieblowitz, was a Prussian general and field marshal who commanded the Prussian army against Napoleon I during the 1813 German campaign, the 1814 French campaign, and finally the Belgium campaign culminating in the victory at the Battle of Waterloo on June 18, 1815.
