Capture of Berlin on 28 Sep. 1760 (O.S. date; painted by Alexander Kotzebue)
The Raid on Berlin took place in October 1760 during the Third Silesian War (part of the Seven Years' War) when Austrian and Russian forces occupied the Prussian capital of Berlin for several days. After raising money from the city, and with the approach of further Prussian reinforcements, the occupiers withdrew. There were later allegations that the Russian commander Count Tottleben had received a personal bribe from the Prussians to spare the city, and he was subsequently tried and found guilty of being a spy.
The future generalissimo of the Russian Empire — Alexander Suvorov — took part in this raid.
