Siege of Kolberg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Siege of Kolberg took place in December 1761 in Kołobrzeg during the Seven Years' War. Russians forces besieged and captured the city from the Prussians. It mean that Prussia had lost its last major port on the Baltic Coast.^[1] Many saw the loss of Kolberg foreshadowing the total collapse of the Prussian war effort, though this did not prove to be the case.
