Vienna. 12:00 PM. On the Allied left flank, the village of Nussdorf falls first after house-to-house fighting. The Lorraine cuirassiers and the Saxon cavalry engage the superior Ottoman cavalry. Immediately afterward, the other nearby villages fall, almost as far as Turkenschanz, which today bears this name in memory of the Turkish outpost where the Grand Vizier has his standard.
