A proposito di questo titolo

Conventional wisdom blames 'General Winter' for Napoleon's 1812 disaster. But as Lucas reveals in this episode, the real killer wasn't cold — it was logistics, disease, and strategic blunders. Drawing on recent scholarship and first-hand accounts, we explore how Napoleon's Grande Armée was already decimated before temperatures plummeted: typhus and dysentery ravaged the ranks, supply lines collapsed, and horses died by the thousands. We meet Dr. Jean-René D'Olleans, a surgeon who documented the epidemics, and examine the 'October thaw' that actually produced mild weather during the retreat. The episode challenges the myth of the Russian winter, showing how Napoleon's defeat was sealed by his own hubris and logistical failures months before the snow fell.
