After Saxon army surrendering the structure of Pirna camp disappears, but should it be this way? If there is no fight...
Szabo refers to an episode in september 1758 (so two years after), of a prussian garrison in Pirna surrendering to Zweibrücken
And related with this, what happened with the request of building fortified camps?

Pirna camp removal is WAD, but will discuss.
AFAIK, Build fortified camps is on 'the list'

Pirna as far as I can tell was a natural fortification. That is the camp was well chosen, but no particular changes were made to the terrain to improve the position. There were also a number of old castles in the vicinity, but I think one of them may be the one that was set aside as the Saxon King's residence for the rest of the war (that is supposedly neutral), which could justify removing the fortified camp after the surrender event...
