The 1757 raid on Berlin took place during the Third Silesian War. Cavalrymen of the Holy Roman Empire attacked and briefly occupied Berlin, the capital of Prussia. According to an apocryphal story General Hadik picked up gloves in Berlin for Empress Maria Theresa, but after leaving he realized that he got only gloves for her left hand. He returned to Berlin and got also the gloves for her right hand.
