The initial attack was not made by "Davout's entire ... corps" but by two of his six divisions, led by Compans and Dessaix. source: 1812 : Napoleon's Russian campaign by Richard K. Rhein, 1990, p243. I don't see the relevance of your comment about casualties. | |

| Apr 14, 2023 at 0:21 | comment | added | Pieter Geerkens | Borodino was not a meeting engagement; but rather a set-piece battle with one side well entrenched with multiple redoubts. Davout's entire III Corps was engaged from the start in attempting to take the redoubts in the centre of the Russian Line. Casualties in the battle were the most in any battle of the quarter century comprising the Revolutionary an Napoleonic Wars, tens of thousands greater than the battle in second pla0ce: Waterloo. No part of your answer is compatible with these basic facts about Borodino. | |
