The Battle of Breslau (also known as the Battle on the Lohe) is a battle fought on November 22, 1757, during the Seven Years' War.

A Prussian army of twenty-eight thousand men fight an Austrian army of eighty-four thousand men.

Breslau's garrison surrenders on November 25.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
