Both were successful chiefs of staff, and thus precursors to the successful Prussian General staff of 1870 |

Both were successful chiefs of staff, and thus precursors to the successful Prussian General staff of 1870 However, on the field of battle, Blücher and Gneisenau were the most competent pairing. They harmonised perfectly, Gneisenau bringing the more military and tactical side of things, while Blücher furnished passion, high morale and excellent leadership. They successfully walked onto Paris and were effective during the Waterloo campaign. |

That was France biggest problem, the Marshals were mostly excellent on their own, but had trouble cooperating together. |
