Years: 1757 - 1757
July
A strong French advance guard crosses the river Weser close to the town of Beverungen during the night of July 7.
The river Weser normally cannot easily be forded, but during the summer the water level drops down to a low of eighty centimeters (about three feet) between Münden and Hameln, making it possible for infantry and cavalry to cross.
