SALTYKOV'S STAND: The Defense of the Kuh-Grund, August 12, 1759
After the capture of the Muhl-Berge, the Prussians pause only long enough to bring up their artillery, then renew the attack against the new Russians position behind the Kuh-Grund, a little valley running northwest out of Kunersdorf. The Prussians attempt to take the position from three sides, Finck on the right, the advance guard in the center, and units from the main body attacking out of Kunersdorf itself. The attacks are fierce, but the Russians still have plenty of artillery and even more reserves to draw on. By 5 p.m., under a hail of canister fire, the Prussian infantry is reduced to a panicked mob.
