Great Video, As a swiss the battle of the river beresina was a turning point in history. The swiss stayed behind to defend the fleeing French army. This was the last time the swiss weren’t neutral and it ended in a disaster.

Or perhaps Kutuzov let Napoleon escape for the same reason Howe let Washington escape time and again, and Brunswick did not press the attack at Valmy. Recall Napoleon’s utterance (and forgive my paraphrasing): “The army is my Lodge, my soldiers my Freemasons, and I am their Grandmaster.” Kutuzov was known as a member of a Masonic Lodge.
