While Prussia’s Anglo-Hanoverian allies were defeated in the west at Hastenbeck, 100,000 Russians under Marshal Stefan Apraksin invaded East Prussia against General Hans von Lehwald. The heavily outnumbered Prussians suffered a costly defeat at Gross-Jagersdorf, southeast of Kφnigsberg. Apraksin’s hungry army later mutinied and returned to Russia.
