The Battle of Krefeld - In June 1758, Prince Ferdinand crossed the Rhine River by cutting across the far southern tip of the Netherlands. The French under the Comte de Clermont were drawn up in a very strong position south of Krefeld, with their position protected by a Landwehr which ran across the battlefield. Ferdinand decided to divide his force, leaving a force under Sporken to demonstrate against the North, while two flanking columns swung around the west side of the French position.
