Pardon me being pedantic: There must be a slight confusion here. The
fight
at the Göhrde was between French troops and an allied force including
Hanoverians and the 73rd foot (as well as a Congreve rocket troop). The
Osprey MAA 192 on Prussian Reserve troops has a quite detailed account
and
OOB. No Saxons in sight,

As the general was French "Merde" seems pretty likely.
Anyway, being outnumbered 4-1 certainly didn't help the French
