Performers wearing 19th century Allied forces and French military uniforms “attack” one another during a re-enactment of the Battle of the Nations in a field in the village of Markkleeberg near Leipzig in Germany yesterday. Leipzig commemorated the 200th anniversary of the largest battle of the Napoleonic Wars yesterday by reenacting the Battle of Nations in which tens of thousands of soldiers were killed between October 17 and 19, 1813, just outside of Leipzig.
