1799, Switzerland: a Russian Army Does the Impossible, Crossing the Alps in a Legendary March – Last Week Volunteers Reenacted It
Suvorov is the liberator of Switzerland.
The world had never seen such battles as those which took place among the peaceful peaks of the Alps in Switzerland in the fall of 1799.
The troops of Field Marshal A. Suvorov went through 7 high Alpine passes. The soldiers overcame them in the conditions of cold, damp and snowy September. 200 km of path along narrow mountain trails, sometimes along snow and even rocks – without mules and virtually without provisions. And at the same time – with constant fights and victorious battles with the French.
