Hohenfriedberg was a great victory for Frederick, and soon, he was being called "Frederick the Great" by his contemporaries. The charge of the Bayreuth Dragoons was studied by later Prussian and German officers as a model for aggressiveness, and the entire spirit of aggressiveness that Frederick had instilled in his army and the large amount of autonomy given to his officers were likened to the tradition of "Auftragstaktik". A delighted Fredrick wrote that "there has not been so decisive a defeat since Blenheim".
