  1. During battle one battalion from von Goltz's regiment of foot was detached to support Polish troops - alongside with battalions (one each) from Imperial regiment of Neuberg, Bavarian regiment of Mercy and Franconian regiment of Koth. Franconian were on Polish left wing, all other three batallions on Polish right wing.

  2. Thank you for the supplement. Schuster didn't mention Goltz's detachment
