With Russia out of the war, Frederick II of Prussia turned against Austrian Marshal Leopold von Daun in Silesia. At Burkersdorf, southwest of Breslau, in a battle of manoeuvre with few casualties, the Austrians were driven from the field, helping secure Frederick’s hold on Silesia when the war ended a few months later after further victories at Reichenbach and Freiberg.
