American War of Independence

Under the command of British Army officer General John Burgoyne, Breymann fought in the Battle of Bennington and the Battle of Bemis Heights. On 7 October 1777, Breymann's unit was driven behind a redoubt by American troops; he grew frustrated with his own men and began attacking four soldiers with his sabre before Breymann was shot and killed by one of them.
