The Archduke was promoted to field marshal in April 1863. He led his
troops into battle against the Italians during the Austro-Prussian War

was appointed army commander-in-chief in 1868 and later inspector
general. He also received a ceremonial promotion to Prussian field
marshal in June 1888. Archduke Albrecht died in February 1895 in Arco
Tirolia and is buried in Capucins.
