When Frederick II the Great of the Hohenzollern family took the throne in 1740, he inherited from his father (Frederick William I, known as the King-Sergeant) a well-trained army of very high combat value. Moreover, this army also had an incredibly - by the standards of the 18th century - disciplined officer corps composed almost exclusively of representatives of the Prussian nobility (Junkers). The predecessor of Frederick the Great managed to successfully engage the nobility in the Prussian war machine, gain its full loyalty in exchange for a permanent and not the worst remuneration resulting from military service. It is worth adding that already under Frederick William I in the Prussian army at least two outstanding officers served: Leopold von Anhald-Dessau and Kurt von Schwerin. The first of them was the "father" of draconian discipline in the Prussian army, and the second - better educated and experienced in the world - turned out to be a talented field commander, as proved by the battle of Ma³ujowice (1741). Frederick the Great in the course of the Silesian Wars (1740-1742 and 1744-1745) and the Seven Years' War (1756-1763) himself turned out to be an outstanding commander, probably the best in the Enlightenment, but also in those wars the names of such Prussian officers as Hans Joachim von Ziethen shone , Friedrich von Seydlitz or the king's brother - Prince Henry of Prussia. It is also worth adding that, at least theoretically, the Prussian officer corps was to implement the coherent and uniform doctrine of war laid down by Frederick the Great in "Generalprinzipien de Krieges", which the monarch wrote in 1746-1748, and which went to his officers in 1753.
