Irregular, semi-regular and reserve formations comprised a
substantial part of the armed forces at the disposal of the
Prussian Army throughout the Napoleonic Wars, particularly during
the campaigns of the Wars of Liberation, 1813-15. The scale of the
uprising of 1813 required the mobilization of all available forces
and the utilization of all available equipment, and meant that the
Prussian Army of the Wars of Liberation was very much a patchwork
affair. This book examines and illustrates the reservists (or
Kruemper), the Freikorps and foreign units, and the militia who
fought in the Prussian Army.
