Battle of Tornow

The Battle of Tornow was fought between the forces of Prussia and Sweden on 26 September 1758 during the Seven Years' War, near modern-day Fürstenberg/Havel.
Prussian commander Carl Heinrich von Wedel ordered an attack on the Swedish position at Tornow. His cavalry, the 3rd Hussars, were successful in driving off the Swedish horse but the Swedish infantry weathered six assaults by the Prussians and a probe towards Fehrbellin was pushed back. Wedel withdrew from the field, granting the Swedish army a rare victory in the campaign. Casualties were 153 men on the Prussian side and 162 men on the Swedish side. The Swedes evacuated their forward posts in the area in the aftermath of the battle, considering them too exposed to Prussian attack.
