Germany sent over highly trained soldiers called Hessians. Washington attacked the Hessian stronghold at Trenton on Christmas Day. Without losing a soldier, the American Army defeated the Hessians. This victory gave the Americans a new strength to fight on, as well as needed supplies, clothing, ammunition, and food. The Hessians were known as the best trained soldiers in the world and were utterly vicious in battle.
