The Battle of Minden stands as one of the defining clashes of the Seven Years’ War—a stunning infantry victory that saw British and German troops repel repeated French cavalry charges and expose the failure of the key British commanders.
In this episode of Prime & Load!, we’re joined by Maj. Gen. Ewan Carmichael, author of Like a Brazen Wall: The Battle of Minden, 1759, and its Place in the Seven Years War. Together, we break down the armies, commanders, and tactics that shaped this pivotal 18th-century battle. From Sackville’s disgrace to the disciplined stand of the allied infantry, we explore how leadership, training, and circumstance converged on that August day in 1759.
