The second half begins with the Sixth Campaign and the defensive camp at Bunzelwitz, where Friedrich, nearly drained of men and resources, relies on endurance and strategic delay to survive. The fall of Schweidnitz and the episode of traitor Warkotsch deepen the sense of peril, yet news from Petersburg dramatically alters the balance of power. The change on the Russian throne transforms Friedrich’s isolation into renewed hope, shifting the momentum of the Seventh Campaign. With the recapture of Schweidnitz and gradual stabilization of the military situation, exhaustion gives way to the possibility of resolution. The narrative concludes with the Peace of Hubertusburg in 1763, portraying Prussia’s survival as a near-miraculous endurance achieved through relentless will and historical contingency.
