BATTLE OF GERMANTOWN

The Battle of Germantown begins with the British in camp.

Washington begins with an assault on a strongpoint he can’t afford to leave behind.

Fighting is brutal. The strongpoint gives better than it gets, but it finally surrenders late in the battle.

The British deploy, expecting a flank attack on their left.

But Washington delivers his flanking attack on the British right instead!
