German Army Movements Near Stolpen and Dresden 1758
From the Head Quarters of Marshal Daun's Army at Stolpen on Sept 4 6 the army advanced toward the Elbe and encamped near Radeberg. Prussian forces under Landau retreated from Peitz toward Hoyerwerda as Austrian and Croat detachments watched German positions. By Sept 6 Daun's corps stood 12 miles north of Dresden and Stolpen lay 18 miles southeast, with Austro and Prussian movements pressing along Lusatia and Silesia while relief for Dresden was deemed unlikely. Meanwhile scarce provisions and coin hinder Hanoverian campaigns as privateers plunder ships and Danish grain exports restrain armies in Holstein. Don Matthias Franzona was elected Doge of Genoa.
