[lvjtn]

sorry, that's all i could write in german

so i need your help

i'm searching for leaders' names for my son efile. i finished most german states, but i couldn't complete these two nations/factions:

a) rheinbund (french puppet state between 1807-1813)
b) german revolutionists in 1848/49

so if you have your history books mentioning a few names fighting for these two nations/factions, would you share with me, please?

[randowe]

I can do it later today. For the Rheinbund confederation one name will be von Dalberg of course. He was the chairman or protector of the confederation.
But the other names will be the names of the leaders of the several states within the confederation i guess Even some big Kingdoms were part of the Rheinbund, like the Kingdom of Bavaria.

The other one - german revolutionists - will be easier

Here is the first one. Of course Sigel und Hecker have to be on the list (-> A long journey to freedom campaign )

vielen dank!

edit: may i recommend to replace two names (like engels, who probably wasn't a military leader) by messenhauser and bem who fought in "Wiener Oktoberaufstand 1848"

That was not so easy. I could only find some french relatives of Napoleon who got married into one of the german members of the Rheinbund confederation. Most of the names belong to the several members of the Rheinbund and its noble families.
I didn't even found a single battle that mentiones a german officier. All generals were french and none of the german Rheinbund members is even mentioned, even if there is a (rare) OOB for on of the battles.

thank you for your efforts! when i checked the available oob in english, i just thought they aren't accurate/detailed enough

the only exception was the battle of leipzig 1813, where i found these names, so at least the french guys can be replaced :

Code: Select all

von Franquemont
von Stockmayer
von Jett
von Wolff
von Normann
von Zeschau
von Brause
von Ryssel
von Raabe
von Lindenau
Henin
von Stockhorn
von Hochberg

thanks again for your time and help!

Nice site, good find

Maybe we can add the main site to the "useful links"? What do you think?
It seems to be a mirror but everything is working:

Germany, Revolutionaires, 1848/1849

May i add them to the leader database?

May i add them to the leader database?

sorry, i completely forgot about posting the two related files , i'll post them asap, thanks for the warning

and i didn't answer about the link either: imo we can start a thread in the pub about interesting links which aren't directly related to design (like maps) but can be useful (like oob, uniforms, historicaly background of a campaign/war, etc.)
