The Battle of Hastenbeck is one of the most curious battles in history, since both commanders-in-chief thought that they lost the battle and were already starting to withdraw from the battlefield.
Hastenbecki lahing on üks kummalisemaid lahinguid ajaloos, kuna mõlemad ülemjuhatajad mõtlesid, et nad kaotasid lahingu, ja olid alustanud taganemist lahinguväljalt.
