Strategiczna rola twierdzy szczecińskiej podczas wojny 1806-1807 r.
The Strategic Role of the Szczecin Stronghold during the 1806–1807 War

Summary/Abstract: In the Napoleonic system of fighting wars strongholds played an important role as a backup for manoeuvre and securing communications routes for the army; in addition, strongholds became operational centres, where reserve and supplies were kept. The paper presents the role of the Szczecin Stronghold in the concepts of Napoleon and how they were implemented form October 1806 to August 1807 closing the direct military activities around Szczecin (and in the Swedish Pomerania). It is because of the fact that in the area in question there were no spectacular battles or sieges, as in the case of Gdańsk, Kołobrzeg, Grudziądz, as well as in the case of Silesian strongholds, that the interest in the war that took place there at the beginning of the 19th century has never been so great.
