The mysterious story of Napoleon's best friend: the remains of French General Gudin were lost for several centuries. He was killed during the War of 1812 in Russia.

Only in 2019 did a Russian-French archaeological expedition find the burial site. 'It wasn't a one-in-100 chance, it was one-in-1,000!' says Alexander Khokhlov, one of the participants. Two years later, General Gudin's body was sent to France.

How did the excavations proceed? Watch our documentary, 'Find My General!' (2020).
