FACT OF THE DAY NAPOLEON WINTER WOES


FACT OF THE DAY

On this day in 1812 one of the worst winters on record began - and caused the defeat of the mighty Napoleon. During Napoleon's retreat from Moscow, troops endured temperatures as low as minus 37 degrees Celsius for 27 consecutive days. Is there chilly weather in your forecast?

G'day all, there must be something about Corporals and delusions of granduer, both Napoleon and Hitler were Corporals and both underestimated the Russian winter.
