PRUSSIAN MUSKETEER REGIMENTS OF THE WAR OF AUSTRIAN SUCCESSION AND THE SEVEN YEARS WAR: UNIFORMS, ORGANISATION AND EQUIPMENT

1-200030

This new, comprehensive study of the Musketeer Regiments (Grenadier, Fusilier, and Garrison Regiments will be dealt with separately) of the army of Frederick the Great reflects Frederick's own grading of his troops. It combines sources -- from the earliest available to the most recent studies -- to detail every regiment's campaign history, organization, uniforms, flags, and equipment.

Lavishly illustrated, the book contains 800 color drawings, including over 320 contemporary illustrations from Accurate (1759), Stammliste (1762), and Etat Militaire (1770) and later schematics drawn from Hans Bleckwenn, Eduard Bolz, and Hans Brauer. Depicted are 120 Leibfahne and Kompaniefahne flags including 40 M1713 flags used during the War of Austrian Succession. The 330 illustrations of uniforms and equipment include 170 drawings from the 1755 Lace Book. There are also nine maps, 20 orders of battle, and 18 tables.
