During this campaign Bl?her's army presented an enormously diverse appearance, since its units had been issued clothing and equipment from many sources, and many of them were still wearing the distinctly hard-worn kit they had been issued over two years before at the start of the 1813 Wars of Liberation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten by a leading authority, this book delves deeply into original sources - including eyewitness accounts, and regimental histories known only to German scholars - to recreate the actual appearance of specific units, rather than simply copying generic uniform regulations. The text details who the men that served in these units were, how they were organised and drilled, and their previous service; what specific elements of the army looked like in 1815; their march to the battlefield; and what they did when they got there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Hofschrr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1782006176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781782006176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/21\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 7.00w x 0.30d","brand":"Peter Hofschrr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44080719659263,"sku":"9781782006176","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_05b99389-f1a5-4163-93ce-ddcf043c5d2c.jpg?v=1685488431","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-prussian-army-of-the-peter-hofschroer-9781782006176","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
