معركة واد المقطع و صداها في كتابات الألمان : هاينريش فون مالتسان أنموذجا

Abstract EN

The European West and the world did not know emir Abdelkader al-Jazairi the first thing they knew as a politician, intellectual and cleric, but to talk about him was with wonder, aura and reverence as a military commander, a strategic planner, and a new flag influential in the arenas of international events in the three years since the beginning of his resistance, he has defeated the French armies, humiliated their leaders, and forced them to retreat to coastal cities and their fortresses, making his name the top of the reports of embassies, diplomatic missions, and secret intelligence interests.

and with it the European and international newspapers, and how many and violent confrontations he fought, which broke the back of the armies of France, and made its leaders look for a solution to a impasse that began to grow and grow, perhaps among those timeless battles the battle of "Wadi al-Maqtaa", one of the biggest battles for a person, a state and the resistance of emir Abdelkader, and the news of this battle is available in many local and foreign texts, perhaps among them in the writings of the German traveler "Hanrich von Maltsan", who did not attend its events, but heard it from sources he called reliable, and most importantly is his ability to meet and meet emir Abdelkader on two occasions, and the news of the battle was at the heart of their subject.
