The usual comment about the headline
When I see a headline like this I always think that maybe, just maybe it would have been a wonderful idea for von Clausewitz and Thielman not to fight for two days rearguard action while outnumbered 2:1 at Wavre and Blucher to enjoy some gegrillt wurst instead of marching his troops for two days to the village of Waterloo.
That would have sorted out the question of "French Retreat" once and for all. We would have all been speaking French instead of English (except those of us who know German and Russian) too.
Oh well, the history is what it is I am afraid, we cannot change it retrospectively. Though when seeing something like this it is ... quite... tempting...
