Description
1812. retreat from Russia.
Contingents from all the allied and subjugated German states stood under Napoleon's banners in the Russian campaign and were swept into the catastrophe of the great army. They were mostly loyal soldiers of the Emperor, albeit with less enthusiasm, but were often treated condescendingly by the French. "When the rations were distributed, we had to fight for every loaf of bread, every pound of meat. In this respect, the French treated us like little boys. On the battlefield it was a different matter, where Napoleon's orders had to be carried out...", remarks a Württemberg lieutenant.
Among the soldiers of the Bavarian regiments who came from Tyrol, however, the number of deserters was particularly high; the suppression of the Tyrolean uprising under Andreas Hofer (1809) had not been forgotten. During the retreat, they practically disbanded. Later, after Napoleon's heavy defeats in the wars of liberation, these states switched to the allies' camp.
Our series shows line infantrymen of these units on the gruelling retreat.
Very suitable for depicting:
