Professor Christopher Clark describes the Battle of Rossbach as "Frederick the Great's single most impressive victory." Whereas at the Battle of Kolin, everything went wrong for Prussia, at Rossbach everything went right.

The battle lasted only 90 minutes, but it changed the course of history for Prussia, the Habsburg Empire, and Europe as a whole.
