Documentary about the Battle of Salamanca which took place on 22nd July 1812. Under the command of the First Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley, the Anglo-Portuguese and Spanish forces defeated the French army when General Auguste Marmont made an error in judgement. Believing Wellesley's troops to be retreating, when they were actually hidden behind a ridge, Marmont attempted to cut them off but, in doing so, four French Divisions became vulnerable to Wellington's unexpected attack.
