Napoleon trolls a captured Austrian colonel.

>A colonel of the Austrian general staff was captured during the day and brought before [Napoleon](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/50/Jacques-Louis_David_-_The_Emperor_Napoleon_in_His_Study_at_the_Tuileries_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg) for questioning. When he refused to answer, the Emperor said, ‘Don’t worry, sir, I know everything anyway,’ and he then quickly and accurately described the locations of all the Austrian corps and even the regiments facing him. >’With whom have I the honour of speaking?’ asked the impressed Austrian. >’At this,’ recalled Chlapowski, ‘the Emperor inclined himself forward, touched his hat and replied “Monsieur Bonaparte”.’ ___________________________ **Source:** Roberts, Andrew.
