As usual, German museums are not shy about black marks in history — especially if two centuries ago. Following the lost battles of Jena and Auerstadt in 1806, Saxony abandoned its Prussian allies and declared neutrality. An interesting display is the white sheets Saxons handed out to arriving French soldiers to confirm Saxony was neutral and not the enemy. Saxony was later forced into an alliance with Napoleon and initially fought on the French side during the Battle of the Nations. After the war, Prussia annexed two-thirds of Saxon territory, or about a third less than it thought appropriate as the price for the betrayal.
