IN DER HÖLLE VOR DAYLIGHT Die Belagerung & Erstürmung von Badajoz 1812. Halbinselkrieg
IN HELL BEFORE DAYLIGHT The Siege and Storming of the Fortress of Badajoz, 16 March to 6 April 1812 IAN FLETCHER SPELLMOUNT 1994 25 x 19 cm. viii + 135 pp. HB/DJ This book deals with the storming of Badajoz, an epic action of the Peninsular War, which involved Wellington's infantry in some of the most savage hand-to-hand fighting of the whole Peninsular period. At appalling cost, in a nightmare battle which lasted throughout the night of April 6th 1812, they hacked their way over the bodies of their dead and through the forbidding medieval walls, which were held with great courage and skill by a brave French and German garrison. Having successfully stormed the town, the battle-crazed army went berserk and the horrors of the sacking which followed, as much as the sublime courage of the attackers, have passed into legend.
