Battle_of_Nuits_Saint_Georges
The Battle of Nuits-Saint-Georges was a battle in the Franco-Prussian War,[3] which took place on December 18, 1870.[12] In this battle, the Baden Division of Germany commanded by General Adolf von Glümer and the XIV Legion under the command of General August von Werder,[13] took Nuits from a French force led by General Camille Crémer,[10] forced the French army to withdraw overnight with heavy losses for both sides.[11] Glümer himself was also slightly wounded in this engagement, while the French lost much of their equipment to the German army.[6][14] Crémer is credited with fighting with great courage in this battle, but the quality of his overall leadership has been questioned.[15]
