PRIMARY SOURCE
Soldiers! I am pleased with you. On the day
of Austerlitz, you justified everything that I
was expecting of [you].... In less than
four hours, an army of 100,000 men,
commanded by the emperors of Russia
and Austria, was cut up and dispersed....
12 0 pieces of artillery, 20 generals, and more than 30,000
men taken prisoner—such are the results of this day
which will forever be famous.... And it will be enough
for you to say, “I was at Austerlitz,” to hear the reply: “There is
a brave man!”
NAPOLEON,quoted in Napoleonby André Castelot
