或许是因为肖姆的倾向性,用的一些数字和观点是较可疑的。
比如奥斯特利茨:
拿破仑见状立即命令25门大炮向湖面射击,湖泊的冰被法军的炮火击碎,敌骑兵整团整团地掉进湖里──身着冬装、脚登厚军靴的俄军淹死达2,000人之多,同时掉进湖里的还有38门大炮和至少130匹战马──拿破仑很少表现得如此邪恶。
可是确实那么“邪恶”吗?最后抽干了水后,只有28至30门炮,150匹马,还有两三具尸体。Ian Castle说大约200具尸体被俄国或法国人捞起。这么加起来不大可能是2千。

Official documents and the testimony of the locals has shown that the numbers reportedly drowned in the frozen Satchan pond were hugely inflated for propaganda purposes in Napoleon's bulletin after the battle. When the pond had been drained after the battle, only twenty-eight to thirty cannon, one hundred and fifty horses and the remains of two to three men were reportedly discovered. Ian Castle reports that around two hundred men drowned in the shallow pond, the bodies retrieved by their comrades or the French
后头滑铁卢的章节还有
他跳上一匹马向南奔去,尾随他的仅德鲁奥、贝特朗等人,而在瓦弗全军覆没的格鲁希也正在慌不择路地逃命。
明显. “全军覆没的格鲁希”不是事实。
肖姆的书细节相当全,但错、漏、偏颇处也很多。 |
